CROWDED Off THE ROAD.

What would people say if they were
told that 1--WE years from now the
horse would not be allowed on crowd
ed streets? What did they say five
years ago when it was said that a,
man would fly from Paris to ST.
Petersburg? What was said when
Marconi claimed to be able to tele-
graph messages without wires When
Bell said he could talk to a person
a mile away over a wire by using an
instrument he had invented and called
telephone? When the pioneers
among our grandfathers predicted that
the railroad would suppIant horses for
hauling goods and passengers for long
distances they were laughed at, just
as automobilists are now when they
say that in a few years the horse will
be a rare sight on city streets. Just
as surely as the faithful animal is be-
ing crowded from the city streets, SO
is he being pushed from his labor on
the farm. The reason for the doom
of the horse is that he can mo longer
compete with the motor in drawing
! the carriage, the wagon or the plough.
Even the persistent Missourian admits
| he has been shown in the case of
| the pleasure car, and the last two
years have proven that the horse can
no longer successfully compete with
| the motor in trucking goods or work
| ing the farm.

to prevent damage to the engine, etc,
through the water in the cooling sys-
tenn freezing. If the car is not be-
ing used often it is best when the car
is in the garage to empty the water
from the cooling system altogether;
to do this there is generally provided,
underneath the radiator either a tap
or screwed plug. If there be no such
outlet the only thing to do is to dis
connect one of the water pipes SO as
off. In either case, of course, before
the engine is run the circulating sys-
tenn must be reh11ed. To prevent any
oversight, remove the radia tor filler
cap and place it on the driving seat
when you empty the water system, so
that there is no chance of forgetting
to refill the radiator before you next
use the car. In some engines the
mere opening of the drain tap will not
empty the whole of the Water-cool-
ing system unless small vent taps Mt
ted to the cylinders in different posi-
lions are also opened. In other en-
gines such taps are fitted half way
down the cylinders, and these have to
be opened, otherwise some water is left
in the cylinder Jackets. In other en-
gines again similar taps are arranged
and the top Of the cylinders, being
used simply to allow the escape of
air when the water system is being
ref1lled. With modern thermo-s y-
phon-cooled engines these taps are
very rarely used and are not neces-
sary, but it will be as well to ascer-
tain if they are fitted, as no amount
of care in drawing off the water will
be of any avail unless these taps are
opened. As an alternative you can,
of course, heat the garage, which does
all that is required provided no long
ha1ts are made on the road when the
temperature is very low. If a long
ston must be made the radiator and
bonnet, and particularly the former,
should be covered with rugs or, bet
ter still, a specially. made asbestos

ADvA NTAGES OF dim

A.

Manager f. L. Pierce of the Regal Mo
tor Car company, t'the number of &C
cidents due directly to the binding
headlights of motor cars. In sew
eral of the large cities, laws are be-
ing enacted, making it an ofense for
a driver to use his powerful head
lights within the city limits. An
ticipating this condition, all new Re
gal cars are being equipped with a
special dimming attachment. BY
simply pressing a button at the driv-
er's seat, the headlights are dimmed
to about the bri1liancy of side lamps
and one runs no chance of binding
some other driver or pedestrian and
getting in a bad mix up The me-
chanicaI side of it is very simple.
In each of the electric bulbs are two
wires of different size, one capable
of giving a brilliant light and the
other much reduced illumination. BY
pushing the dimming button, the
lights can be frightened or reduced

CLUTCH OUT OF COMMISSION.

Were you ever caught on the road
with your clutch out of commission!
Did you leave your car on the road?
Next time, don't do it. You can
bring your car in without a clutch?
So says George Heising, chief engin-
eer. Of the Moon Motor Car company.
Heisine was caught in that plight
once and he ought to know.
81 was. out driving with my family
about Is miles from ST. Louis when
nv clutch went out of commission
through the breaking of one of the
parts I worked it for while and
then decided to come in without the
help of the clutch.
ct raced my engine while the gear
lever was in neutral in order to keep
the motor alive, slowed it up, and
then shifted to first, nursing my en-
CINE carefully as I did. Then 1 rae
ed the motor again, slowed it up until
| the car was moving at a rate of speed
corresponding to the second speed OF
| the second gear. Then [ speeded uE
| the engine, slowed up again until the
car was travelling SO as to have tw.-
| engaging gears travelling at practical
| ly the same speed and threw into
| third or high speed.
| ct came all the way to ST. Louis
| and the next morning went to the
| factory in the car. I had some trou-
| Bile in making the changes when
had to slow up for street car tracks
| but otherwise managed very well.
| sOf course this was simply emer-
| gency treatment and is not a prac-
| tice that is to be recommended fol
i gener al use. But when a man is
| caught on the road it is far better
| to be able to come in somehow thar

NO RED LIGHTS IN VERMONT.
Vermont has enacted a. law prohibit
ing the use Of red lights on the rear
of automobiles. This law was brought
into existence. because where a high
way runs parallel to a railroad track
engineers are likely to mistake the
rear light of an automobile for
danger signal on the. railroad and
therefore suddenly stop their trains
After this kind of a mistake had sew
era1 times caused the. stopping of the
Boston & Albany express, complaints
were made to the Highway Commits
sioner in some. of the New England
states. The. Vermont law provides
that from 45 minutes after sunset to
As minutes before sunrise lights shall
be displayed, but, that no rear light
show red on any vehicle using the
highways. It also, provides that this
act shall take effect January 1, 1915,
but If New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
New York and Quebec shall pass laws
prohibiting such red lights the law
shall take effect on the same date as
specified in those laws, making it,
therefore. operative at once.

WHAT IS A PNEUMATIC TIRE?

There are plenty of well informed
students of the subject who believe
there is very little foundation for the
theory of squeezing of the air in the
tube in the manner described by a
writer in Motor Print. The objec-
tors admit the writer in question is
partly correct, however, in saying that
there is movement and sudden COM
preston leading to heat, but they say
it is not constant when the tire is in
hated to the correct pressure for the
load.
According to the DIRECTORS, what
happens is something like the follow
ing: The tire, in running under nor
NAL conditions on level road, ire
spective of the speed, is deformed to
correspond with the load and pressure
and no more. Should a depression
or bump in the road be met with,
the tire is further .deformed, the VIC
Ience of the blow being affected by
the speed of the car.
At twenty miles per hour the time
occupied by the area in contact with
the ground is very small, WIZ about
| .o1417 of a second. The sudden dis
IIacement' of the air at this spot forces
some of it to find room in opposite di-
rections round the tire, but with equal
speed the extra load is removed and
| the tire resumes the normal state and
pressure.
| Within small limits the walls of the
| tire are moving all the time the car
| is running; the serious bumps do not
occur frequently, perhaps not more
| than once in three revolutions. 4
| :. With the movement there is heal
! generated, and as the volume of ali
is constant the pressure must Increase
! This action of the tire walls is not
| the only factor; the slight actor
keeps the air in motion in, the inter.
| ior and this helps to raise the temper
| ature. The rise is very! small over {
short period, and depends. for. its rap.
idityl upon the speed of the car an6
| the condition Of the road; a very un.
dulatory road, easy depressions ane
rises, rather than bumps, would favor
a rapid increase;ya slack tire favors
rapid passage of the air inside the
tube.
