Pressure on Feed Lubricators.

Pressure should always be kept on
screw-down feed lubrica.ors serving
grease on to bearings Owners should get
into the habit of giving the caps Of the
lubricators an eighth. quarter or half
turn frequently. Overmuch Is vastly
better than too little fabrication in such
bearings as are so served When taking
over a new car. make certain that the
grease lubr!cator has been filed and
screwed down, and filled and screwed
down again and again. until the grease
Is really serving on to the bearing. for
IN some cars the pipe leads from these
iubricators are so long that several
charges of the lubricator are necessary
to NIL the pipe before the grease really
reaches the bearing. New bearings have
seized before now for lack of this pre-
caution. 1t is often noticeable that the
ordinary screw-down 1ubricator Is vary
hard to manipulate. This Is due to the
Ieed hole at the bottom OF the lubrcator
being too small. or to the lead pipe COM
municatfng witl the bearings having too
small bore. There Is no reason why
screW-down lubricators should be made
SO dffffcult to operate: this matter really
deserves more attention from the manu-
facturers and those who have to use
them The screw portion should be ca
pable of being easily twisted round by
means of the thumb and forefinger. and
not have to be forced down with the
hardest stress which can be put on with
the hand or with wrench

With the tremendous increase in
automobile manufacture. the question
Is always raised at show time as to
how many cars can be manufactured
and sold annually in this country. In
other lines of trade definite statistics
are at hand, whereas in the motor car
trade the figures are generally offered
with a speculative idea. which may or
may not have helped to bring the
tremendous productions that have been
offered during the past two or three
years The trade is now affected by
general business conditions and no
further expansion can be expected for
markets are certain.
A careful consideration Of funda-
mental conditions; q full realization
Of the place that the motor car has
taken among the American people: a
thorough understanding Of the i'm
proved cars that are being offered, and
full knowledge OF the lower cost of
upkeep that is now possible because of
better made cars and lower prices for
tires and fuel, makes it no mere guess to
say that this country can readily abb
sorb $4,000 motor cars a year, at an
average price Of $500 to $3.50
This means that while there may be
no great increase in the number Of
high priced and high-gr cars, there
is opportunity for greatly increased
number of moderate priced cars which
supply excellent service at compare
lively low cost The big. luxurious car
will always be in demand among a GER
tain C ass of Americans, while the low
price car comes within the financial limits
OF very large number of people and
naturally will be sold in greater num-
berS.

1000, 900 Cars in Use.

These figures are conservative. when
one considers the number of cars that
have been made and sold during the
past ten years. and the further fact
that there are now more than 1000. 900
cars in actual use. of which $4,000
were made last year, and 100000 the
year before. The cars during the past
three years have been better made.
There is no longer a rush to change
from one model to another, or else the
absorption figures of new cars might
be placed very much higher.
1t is interesting here to note that
for many years the annual production
Of buggies in this country was Lilo
900, with an average life of three
years, and only last month James
Vrooman. the president OF the Wood
Working and Mill Owners Associa ton
of Philadelphia. stated that more bug
gies were made in 1913 than eight
years ago. and this. in the face Of in
creahed motor car production. Taking
the average life of motor car at. say,
even six years. the figures offered

Lubricants in Cold Weather.

With the approach of cold weather 1t is
wen to change the brand OF cup grease
ordinarily employed for one Of lighter
consistency. The result will be that the
less viscose lubricant will find its way
through the feeding ducts to the bearings
even when the car Is operated while the
atmosphere is at a very low Temperature

that the passages in question are thor.

servative.
The cry of pessimists that the motor
car was an economic waste has long
since been forgotten, and it has now
taken its place in the same class of
necessities as the telephone, the tele-
graph and the railroad. 1t moves hu-
manity and freight rapidly and offers
SO many advantages at SO low cost

Enjoying Healthy Growth.

In some states registrations are re-
qured only In counties. while in other
states they are made annually. Recently
the state law of Mississippi was declar-
ed invalid, SO figures from that territory
are difficult to obtain.
These figures prove that the industry is
not alone staple but is enjoying a healthy
growth, subject only to those conditions
that affect the prosperity of the country
as a whole, such as we have experienced
during the past six months. Manufac-
turers have reached a point where they
can supply the demand and 1t would
seem sound business Judgment to have
less expansion during the next few years
and more cultivation of markets. Motor
cars are a staple and should be made
and marketed on information and under
conditions that govern any other article
of manufacture which enjoys a normal
and healthy growth by filing a want of
a nation.

Ago Was No Speed
Event.
MUELLER CAR AVERAGED
THIRTEEN MILES AN HOUR
Chicago Newspapers Described Autos
as q 'Two-Seated Dos-a-
Dos Trap"
BY W. n. MCINTYRE.

Early in May, 1912, Teddy Tetzlafr,
at the wheel of an Italian Fiat, estab-
hsned new worlds road racing record
of 1851 miles an hour in winning the
annual Santa Monica classic In the
intervening time since that day 1 often
have compared the record breaking feat
OF the powerful Fiat with that of the
antique and forgotten Mueller. which,
on November 2. 1895, won the first speed
contest for motor cycles or horseless
carriages-the names by which motor
cars were known eighteen years ago
ever held in America by averaging
thirteen miles an hour in a ninety-mile
drive from onicago to Waukegan and
return.

spectator l witnessed this race, which
attracted 100000 curious Inhabitants OF
the western metropolis to Jackson Park

Only Two Cars Competed.
Only two cars competed in the contest
of November 2, 1895. and the Mueller
was the only one to finish although
about ninety entries were made About
a week before the scheduled date of the
race, which was promoted by the Chi
cago Times Herald, that offered a prize
of $1,000 to the winner. the majority
of the makers who had nominated cars
discovered that their ancient motors
would not generate enough power to
move the machines out OF the shops, and
forty-four builders attached their names
to a petition asking the judges for a
postponement This petition-which Is
interesting to me since but one of the
signers is building cars today-was pre-
scented to H. Fl. kohisaat, publisher of
the Chicago Times Herald, who agreed
to the postponement. but hung up a con-
ISOLATION prize OF $500 for the victor in
a race to be run on the original date,
november 2. The unique event had been
widely advertised. and because he did
not wish the people to be disappointed
by the postponement Mr. kohlsaat was
prompted to additional generosity.
The consolation race attracted only
two entries. the Mueller of Decatur
which was described by the newspaper
reporters as a .two-seated dos-a-do!
trap" and the Duryea, the result Of
three years of experiment at Peoria. The
distance to be covered was 9O.74 miles
and the course was measured by Charlie,

increasing demand for it's products and
has been only slightly curbed by the
slowing down of general business dur
ing the past six months.
Even during this past year the produc-
ton increased from 270.0OO for 1912 to
$4,000. Admitting that there was pos
sible overproduction of 5000 cars. it
seems absurd to express the belief that
the limit of motor car sales has been
reached. These pessimists have been
helped in their statements by the failure
of a w weak concerns, whose passing

show so near a cleanup for the year

Commercial vehicles numbered about

OF the cars made last year those eN-

cars were sent to eighty-three different
countries throughout the world.
