MOTOR CAR PLANTS
PROGRESS RAPIDLY
Manufacture of Automobiles Is
Fastest Advancing Industry,
Says Prominent Man.

"The manufacture of automobiles is
by far the most progressive industry the
world has ever KNOWN" remarked one
of the big men in the automobile indus
try to a group .of friends at a recent
gathering of motor car men. Then he
cited a few facts to back up his remark
able statement.
Just think of the strides that the
business is. and has been making right
from the first car built" he continued.
There has never even been any hesita-
tion on the part of the manufacturers
of motor cars. They have been on the
rush every minute, such a rush as has
never been seen in any other line Of
business. When the demand has not
been as great as the supply the manu-
facturers have created a demand-then
when the demand was greater than the

SPRINGS IN CLUTCH
MAKE EASY START
New Feature of Pierce-Arrow
Cars Prevents Jump When
Surfaces Engage.

A feature Of the later Pierce-Arrow
models that is causing a great deal of
notice among owners and drivers is the
refinement Of the clutch.
An experienced driver" says Fred
Prendergast. manager Of the Foss-
Hughes Company. Pierce-Arrow agents
here, familiar with his car is able In
most cases, no matter how brutal his
clutch, to start his machine without jerk
ing. With the refined Pierce-Arrow
clutch any operator can get a smooth
start .-.. |
ITO all outward appearances the
clutch ID with the exception Of the Gil
retaining ring unchanged, but upon
closer Investigation there will be found
six small steel springs placed underneath
the leather facing, forcing the surface Of
the clutch out at these points When
first engaged the six small surfaces take
the initial strain. but the total amount
Of surface engaged Is not sufficient to
cause the car to jump as Is the case
where the full surface engages at once.
"As the clutch Is gradually forced
into engagement the springs fiatten out
until when the clutch Is all the way in
the entire surface has become evened."

LITTLE WORK DONE
. ON GRADE CROSSINGS
Much Talk, But Not Much I'm
provement, Says Capital
Automobile Driver.

while motorists are up In arms
against railroad grade crossings. and
are voicing all kinds Of protests against
them. there has been little done
throughout the country toward their
elimination, and accidents continue to
occur almost every day." says WASH
ington motorist, who has done con-
siderable touring
Danger turks at grade crossings,
even where they are protected by flag
men, because motorists generally do not
know the flag system used by railroads
This was brought out forcibly In the
recent accident In Connecticut, and will
act as a lesson for motorists. 1t Is adj
visable for the motorist to stop his ma
chine at the grade crossing.
The white flag, according to railroad
officials, has nothing whatever to do
with trains, as a trainman pays no at
tention to any flag but the red one The
watchman at the crossing uses a red
flag only when he wishes the train TO
stop for some cause or another. The
white flag il disregarded by the en-
giDeer.
There is a lot Of touring information
issued from time to time and published.
and II might be a good plan to embody
occasionally such Information as VIII be

AUTOMOBILE BOARD
INVESTIGATES TIRES
Committee Inquiries Costs of
Motor Truck Operation at
Home and in Europe.

Tho committee representing the COM
mercial vehicle section of the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce, IN
studying the various methods by which
the cost Of operation Of motor trucks in
the United States might be reduced, re-
Gently made a comparison OF the tire
mileages obtained in Europe and those
obtained in the United States. -
After looking over, the foreign field. the
committee was inclined to the belief
that the longer mileages abroad were
due largely, IL not wholly, to the differ
ences in the shape OF the tire sections.
With a view to securing the opinion of
the American tire manufacturers on this
point, Windsor T. White. president of
The White Company, and chairman of
the committee. rquested 8. v. Morton.
sales manager Of the truck tire depart
ment of the B. F. Goodrich Company,
to appear before this committee and fell
them how the American tire manufac-
turers accounted for this difference. Mr.
Norton accepted the Invitation. and. at
Cleveland. recently. he placed before
them a large amount OF data, which he
had gathered from authoritative
sources. bearing on this subject
I'm my judgment" said Norton. "the
longer tire mileages abroad are not due
of the tires" In confirmation of his
opinion. he called attention to the ef-
fects Of American conditions on tire
mileages as over against European
conditions, with respect to-
D Roads on which motor trucks are
operated.
(O Usage. whether careful or care
less.
90 Size of tires. whether adequate or
inadequate.
Next he pointed out some Of the prob
lens in the way Of increasing Amefi-
can tire mileages. and, finally, offered
some suggestions for future action on
the part Of truck manufacturers and
can mileages and thus reducing the op-
Grating costs.
For one thing" said Norton, "I be-
lieve that the motor truck manufac-
turers should maintain schools for the
training of drivers for their trucks, and
should insist on having only experienced
and careful men handle their machines.
This practice would reduce to a mini
mum the expensive factor in the human
element due to the employmnt of ignor-
ant or carless drivers. Next" he sug-
gested. "all manufacturers should in
stall a periodic inspection Of trucks in
during such inspection due attention
should be gwen to the matter Of loading
and operating the trucks whose expense
Of maintenance seems to be unusually
high. On the part of motor truck own
ers, let me urge the use Of uniform
records for cost of operation, such, for
instance, as are furnished by the B. F.
Goodrich Company or those devised by

Too Rich Mixtures
Cause Carbon Deposits

Persistent running of an engine with
too rich a mixture will result In grind
ing valves and carbon scraping every
thousand miles. When a motor first
starts cold, it requires a rich mixture,
because when cold the gasolene vapor-
ICES slowly. Many drivers will adjust
their carburetor Immediately after
starting, which Invariably results in too
