.BARNEY'S FIRST
CAR PRESERVED
He May Drive It on Detroit
Track; the Car that
"Made Henry Ford"

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 28.-Barney Old
field, winner Of the recent Los Angeles
to Phoenix Cactus Derby" and the
title of Master Driver of the World,
when he heard Of the success of the
plans for the Detroit speedway, imme
diately notified the management of his
anxiety to appear at the first meet and
drive the great car known as 999. This
was the first racing car of Henry Ford,
and it was with this car that Barney
entered the racing arena and created
Juror when he did the mile at the old
Crosse POinte track in Detroit IN bet
ter than the minute.
From that time on Barney was the
sensation of America, and he has Deen
little else than sensation ever since;
There is probably nothing that would
be a bigger hit than such perform
ance by Oldfield: The old car. SSy' Wa
designed and built by Henry Ford ana
it helped to start that great manuIac-
turer on his way. When Barney got Pc
hind the steering wheel he startled MI
Ford and startled the world BY ms
performances, and proved hlmselI lhe
premier driver of the early days.
Inasmuch as this performance hap
pened in Detroit and at a time When
no one knew that DetrolI WOulu De t tlie
automobile manufacturing center OF the
world, it created the utmost interest,"
and Barney drew enormous crowds
every time he appeared In connection
with Icy early GAADA - III 80. -

secure the car for exhibition at the De-
troit show. and at that time the Speed
way Country club, promoters OF the De-
troit speedway, will arrange for ITS ap-
pearance at the opening meet OF the
speedway, which is scheduled for sep
TENDER 4 next. The contest board or

USE Of GAS IS :
Up To DRIVERS
IF Care Is Used, They Can
Get a Greater Mileage
From Each Gallon.

Gasoline consumption is much more
than a matter Of motor efficiency. It
depends more or less on the ability
of the driver to get the maximum dis
lance from his car on the minimum Of
fuel
The careless driver will not get
nearly as many miles to the gallon OF
gasoline as he should, while the care
fuI man will find his gasoline bills
are not nearly as high as they for
merly were
In driving, the maximum mileage for
the minimum fuel viii be obtained
when a speed Of from IS to 20 miles an
hour is maintained. Lower speeds
waste fuel Higher speeds require
more.
Much fuel can be saved II the driver.
in going down hills, will turn off the
power and throw out the clutch, or
even let the motor continue to run
and place the gear shift in neutral
The car is capable Of carrying its own
weight down a hill
Many owners who are getting only
Is or 20 miles to the gallon Of gasoline
under their present driving conditions
Will find that by observing the com
mon sense rules for saving gasoline
they viii get from 20 to p miles. This
means a big saving in upkeep expense
in the course Of a few months

HOW TO KEEP YOUR RADIATOR
FROM BECOMING AN ICEB0X

One of the things of prime Importance
to the motor car owner who drives his
car throughout the cold months is
radiation. If care is not exercised the
car viii freeze, damaging radiator and
all connections.
To be on the safe side, mix an anti
freeze solution for your radiator. Elk
periments with a motor car in cold
storage rooms at various temperatures
show that a mixture of so percent de-
natured alcohol and so percent water
make one of the best anti freeze mix
ture
If the radiator is kept covered the
solution will last throughout the year
if occasionally one adds a small guam
tity Of alcohol.

, HELPFUL HINTS TO
THE AUTOMOBILISTS


To clean screen Of separator on gasO-
line feed line remove screen and use
air pressure from a pump or tank
Place nozzle hose against screen. The
air will force all particles of fuzz and
sediment out Of fine wire mesh.
AS the cold weather approaches the
water in radiator is cooled more than
necessary, cutting down efficiency of
motor. To avoid this condition place a
piece of leatherette on front of radiator
about One-third up from bottom. When
very cold about one-half.
X
One part which requires fabrication,
but which is Oftentimes neglected, is
the interior of the flexible speedometer
driving shaft, to which an elusive
squeak often can be traced. The best
lubricant for the shaft is a light grade
Of grease or nOn-fluid oil.
x
The blades of some fans have an OBJ
tectionable habit of working loose on
account of defective riveting at the
hubs. and for this reason a new fan
should be rather carefully watched for
a time. A loose blade can do a good
deal Of damage, and when one blade
goes the rest of the fan often is dam
aged, if running at very high speed, be-
cause Of the lack of balance.
One good way to insert a refractory
valve spring is to compress it in a
wise and tie it with Irvine. After it is
in place and the cotter key has been
inserted, it is a simple matter to snip
the spring.

A scraping noise sometimes can
be traced to a valve spring which has
become misplaced and is rubbing
agafnsa the valve mechanism. To
against the rlate which encloses the
valve mechanism. To eliminate this
requires either the fitting Of a new
spring or the reshaping Of the old
