GOODRICH MAN GIVES
ADVICE TO MOTORISTS

Keep up the air pressure IN your
tires in hot weather. Don't partly de-
flate your tires in the belief that hot
weather will make them right.
This is the advice o6M. E. Fassnacht,
manager o the adjusting department
for the B. F. Goodrich company. Ak
ron, o.
There is practically nothing to the
idea that the air pressure in automo
bile tires should be reduced during hot
weather." says Mr. Fassnacht.
Many people have fallen into the
error of thinking that they must re-
duce the air pressure in their tires
when they are. starting a long run on
a hot day.
LAS matter of fact. atmospheric
temperature affects the initiation to
such slight degree that absolutely no
allowance need be made for it.
The danger lies in the other direc-
ton. rinflation is one of the
greatest tire trouble producers. The
users who have been decreasing their
air pressure because of hot weather
should consider this: 1t is the bend
ing action in the side walls of tires
that is the most injurious.
eff the internal pressure is decreased,
the bending action is naturally In
creased. This bending action gener-
ates heat. Extra heat inside the tire
is the worst thing that can happen
to it.
I'VE have made exhaustive tests and
we know that a tire run soft will be-
come much hotter than one held more
rigid and supported by the proper air
pressure.
1T is intended that the wheels of an
automobile should run on air, and the
tires are the air containers. The long
evity of all tires is regulated largely
by the air pressure.
I'VE make up initiation schedules for
all Goodrich tire users, and will be glad
to supply them through our branches
or from our offices at Akron. 0.
I'VE at all times recommend that
tires be kept inflated up to the infla-
ton schedule"

HAPPENINGS IN THE MOTOR WORLD OF INTEREST
To- OWNERS AND PROSPECTIVE BUYERS
quires some further consideration.
Opposing Argument.

Tt is argued that the headlight of
the motor car is merely a selfish and
trarisitory illumination and is no more
than a means of safeguarding the
driver and the occupants of the car
carrying the light.
But it should be remembered that
not only are the lamps useful in guild
ng and safeguarding the travellers in
the car, but they act as a means of
warming to other vehicles. and also to
pedestrians. While there is much to
De said for the contention that daz-
ling headlights form a danger to other
users of the road and that non daz-
zling devices are desirable yet 1t is
quite impossible for a motorist using
the road, either main or other, at
night to dispense with adequate means
of illumination"

MECHANICALLY CONTROLLED
TOP NEW AUTOMOBILE IDEA

New inventions for the comfort and
convenience of the owner and driver of
the motor car keep coming with great
regularity and Indianapolis is not with
out some honor along these lines. Now
there comes to the front a young man
with an idea for a mechanically con
trolled, rolled top for the automobile.
Here will be luxury, for the one bane of
the motorists life, outside Of repairing
a puncture, is to be compelled to get
out and put up the top in the rain.
For two years William Kootz has
been working on this idea of the mo-
tor controlled top and last April he OBJ
tanned a patent on his product. Roots

States but a few years, coming In De-

FORD PLANS MEAN
Low PRICED CARS
Detroit Office Overwhelmed
by Huge Volume of Cor
y respondence.

That the Ford Motor company's an
nouncement of its reduction in prices
coupled with profit sharing plan for
the prospective benefit of the retail
buyers has lifted the people "off their
feet" is indicated by the huge volumes
Of correspondence that has overwhelm-
ed the Detroit office.
While the Ford company's announce
ment of its new profit sharing plaza
plan for the benefit of new buyers only
was Clearly stated it is evident that
many wish to be assured on two or
three points. The officials, therefore,
find it necessary to reiterate that the
profit sharing plan for the benefit of
the new owners has nothing to do with
the immediate reduction in price Sixty
dollars is cut off the price of every car
at once and this reduction is not con-
tingent on any production figure al
though there is no guarantee that pre-
sent prices will not be advanced so that
all orders are accepted for immediate
delivery only.
The profit sharing plan. by which
each buyer who purchases a Ford be-
tween August /, 1914 and August l.,
1915. is to receive from $40 to $50 as
entirely separate and distinct PROPOSE
ton and is contingent on the sale and
delivery at retail of 900 new Ford
cars between the dates named.
Three hundred thousand cars is a
stunning production and some people
who are not fully informed concerning
the huge character of Ford business
fear the figure may be in excess of the
possibilities. IT is necessary to recall
in this connection how the Ford out
put has grown from year to year in
order to understand that 100000 cars
will be only a normal growth. 1t must
be remembered that from August l.
1918 to August l, 1914, the Ford com
pany manufactured 221,SSS cars and
the season before that something like
1856. 900. With every new Ford buyer
interested in the companys profits as
soon as he buys. it is a conservative
estimate to base the new profit sharing
plan on a production of 100000 cars.
The Ford company further explains
that the new plan is but the fulfill
ment of q promise. 1t was the purpose
of the company when it was organized
TO build car for the people in the
largest and broadcast meaning of that
phrase. 1t was the avowed policy OF
the company to govern price according
to production, based on market prices
10 buy and build. History proves the
truth of these statements Ford prices
grew. Many will remember that when

the prices were reduced last August it
was declared that there would be a
still further reduction in another year
If production and buying prices war
ranted. Production, and the market
price of materials has warranted that
step and the promise has been kept
more than kept because In addition to
the promised reduction comes the
amazing profit sharing plan for the
benefit of new buyers IL we can sell
and deliver 100000 new Fords between

HELPFUL HINTS FOR
MOTOR CAR OWNERS

Although rarely done, 1t is better to
strain lubricating oil before it is put
in the tank or reservoir, not only to
prevent the clogging of oil ducts and
to eliminate the possibility of abrasive
action due to foreign substances, but
also to prevent foreign matter from
getting into the pump. Such matter
may cause the pump to stick and some
part to become broken.
One of the causes of excessive cur
rent consumption in ignition systems
employing vibrator coils is too much
tension on the vibrator springs. The
spring adjustment should be slackened
until the motor commences to miss ex-
plosions and then frightened down grad
ually until the firing again becomes
regular Further tightening results
only in useless consumption OF current.
When a motor is turned over slowly
with the crank it may appear that all
the valves are working properly and
seating as they should; but il some
times happens that the stems are gum
med, dry, or fouled with dust and dirt,
so that they cannot move fast enough
to keep pace with the motor when it is
running. This is good point 10 watch

MOTOR DRIVERS
SHOW Great CARE
Too Powerful Headlights
Cause Glare for the APP
preaching Cars.

with the announcement that the
street traffic committee of New York
city intends to frame certain regula-
tons restricting the use of headlights,
the attention of the motoring world
has been called to the whole question
of night driving says Mitchell May,
secretary of state of New York. TT
is a remarkable fact that few of the
serious accidents due to motor vehicles
happen after nightfall, and such as do
occur are generally in cities and we'll
lighted places. This fact bears testi-
mony to the care exercised by the
majority of motor car drivers when on
the road at night.
THE average motorist long ago rec
ognized the desirability of having good
and adequate lamps as part of his
equipment and some have gone too
far, perhaps, in the matter of carry
ing dazzling lights, which constitutes
danger to other vehicles on the road.
since the sudden appearance of a head
light with a powerful glare not prop
erly diffused does, without doubt tenn
porarily blind the driver of an oncom-
ing vehicle.
Care in Night Travel.
Travelling by night in a motor car
involves more care and attention than
would be thought necessary by the
casual observer. Even on a well-known
road the attention must always be on
the alert, for numerous dangers lurk
in the darkness.
"One of the chief causes of acct
dents is the unlighted vehicle On a
dark night if the lamps are not ade-
quate the dark back of a carriage or
wagon does not emerge from the sur
rounding gloom until the motorist is
almost upon it: even with lamps of
medium power the usual color of the
vehicle is scarcely distinguishable from
the color of the road. Corners. espe-
c;ally right-hand ones. peed careful
manipulation and a watchful eye and
ear must always be ready for anything
that may be approaching al cross di-
rections
''In windy weather where several
trees have been blown across the road
these might be easily mistaken for
shadow by the driver of rapidly
moving vehicle. Though all sensible
motorists realize that the use of too
dazzling headlight is unnecessary in
the well-lighted streets of cities. never
theless. good lamps with properly
diffused non binding rays are essen
tial for night driving upon the country
roads; now that it is no longer an I'M
common practice to use a motor car
after dark, the question of safety re-

to use a light spring under the valve
head, acting to raise the valve from
