LONG AND WIDE STRINGS.


 Automobile owners all over the country are coming to a, keener real ization. than ever before, of the value of proper spring equipment on their cars,'s says c. B. Rose, engineer of the Moline Motor Vehicle Company Moline, Ills.
 "Long wide springs so designed that they have a wide throw is the only equipment that is being accepted by careful buy
 s.The reason is easy to find. Shock absorbers have failed to give the re- suits they were supposed to give. Short springs have already proved their in efficiency.
 ss<s Full elliptic springs have afforded certain objections to proper body sus- pension and the long wide spring has been found to be the only one which is satisfactory from every point of view.
 With the long wide spring with q long throw the actual road shocks are taken up in the hexure of the spring leaves, and because of the wide nv and the resultant distance which the blows have to travel before they reach the chassis, the force of shocks from travelling over the road is great- ly reduced. This is the only solution of hard riding.
 "At present the spring equipment .of the Moline car is longer and wider than that of any other car of it's size that we know Of, and all Moline own CTS ara loud in their praise of the easy riding they obtain

THE REAL DIFFERENCE
 BETWEEsN LEF,T AND
 RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

J. w. Bate, general factory manager and chief engineer of the Mitchell- Lewis Motor Co., may write 70 E.. D. upon his discussion Of the rela- tive merits of the left and right hand < drive without fear of having any en- gineer of his world wide reputation successful dispute him The Mitchell Lewis company makes motor cars with both types of drive, because it annual ly disposes of number of cars in tsIeft-drive1 countries where the ma chine with the right hand drive is demanded by the laws. he comes out unequivocally with his expert advice to the American purchaser in favor of the left hand drive. A bout the only place where the matter of the position of the steering wheer becomes factor for little consideration. in the opinion of MT. Bate, is out on country roads. and there the driver encountered nearly always is as eager to pass you as you are to pilot your car past his
 machine, the result being the same whether left or right hand drive be used
 By applying the rules of the road to the operation of the car. in turninE corners. to the right, you. have the benefit of the rule against any car passing you to the right betwe you and the curb. In turning to sthe left however. the car coming from the rear must pass to the left. When the driver of the car following sits at the left side he is aided in making a quicker decision as to your probable direc-i ton. Should his car have it's top up and load of passengers, he unques- tionabIy is Handicapped if he be seated on the right-hand side, thinks Mr. Bate
 Besides it is palpabIe to any ear- nest critic, says the Mitchell engi-5 neer, that with the 1eft-hand drive your right hand s available for the operation of the gear shift lever and the emergency. Center control is very desirable in an up-to- date car, as it does away with lot of link age. The latter means lost motion and consequent limp gear mesh ing.

design must be well balanced and the workmanship accurate. Performance is the best evidence by which to be guided.
 sThe intake manifold must be de- signed to give an equal distribution of gas to every cylinder, and must be constructed in such a manner that the gas will have no chance to con- dense before reaching the combustion chamber. The fact that gasoline is of a poorer quality now than formerly makes carburation a very important factor in design, The gasoline tank should be located where it will not be subjected to any heat, as vaporiz "a ton takes off the very best part of the gas and leaves liquid which is only a little better than kerosene. A. strainer should be provided in the pipe line just before the gasoline reaches the carburetor to remove all foreign matter and to Insure clean pure gas. H As
 The ideal motor is the motor that has been refined to such an extent that it develops more than its rated horsepower. The ideal car is the car whose weight is consistent with the horespower Of the motor That is to say, the ratio of horsepower to weight must be great enough to meet any contingency. ssssss
 Finish and equipment are very inn proper consideration, but the Haynes company frankly etaxes that such qualities are incoInparabIe with de-s sign workmanship and efHciency The motor car buyer should investigate it is his right to know every detail Of Haynes comp any gladly furnishes him. ankness on the part Of the manufactures is undoubtedly evidence sof sincerity. quality, dependability.v 7

CHANGING THE TTREs.

A very srnan percentage of drivers change the tires around at frequent. intervals. It is we'll known fact that consideraibly greater mileage is obtained from the tires when this is done The driving wheels are. harder on tires and thes tires should not be allowed to wear too much If changed to the front before too much wear takes place they will serve a long pe- riod on the front wheels.

der steering wheels. Hinged steering wheels are not new--they were ex- plotted and generally discarded long ago. Designers and builders realized that the one place where rigidity and strength were important factors was in the steering gear. The American lady is se1f-re1iant and has cast her ballot In general public sentiment in favor of the plan which permits her to leave the car on the right-hand side without encountering the steering lgWheeI.
 .sIf may be permitted, there is Q great mechanical reason in favor ] Of the left drive. Tn this country automobile engines revolve in the same direction as the hands Of a clock The power Of the engine be- ing resisted by the final drive gears develops tendency to throw the frame or the car heavily on the springs Of the right hand side of the machine If the driver sits on the right hand side when alone. as he frequently is, his weight. added to the thrust of the motor, causes the

a4 MILHs PER GALLoN oN A sTx

24 MILES EEiH GALLON ON "A SIX The ever present fuel question among motorists has probably never received a better answer than in the showing made by the new Rayhe1d carburetor on Chandler 6ixes in ldiffer- ent Darts of the country.
 The first test was made by the Chandler people where the car not only showed speed, power on hills and remarkable record of 24.4 miles to one gallon Of gasoline. The test was. of course officiaI.
 Now comes the news that in test supervised by Herbert Chase of the Automobile Club of America a Chand- Ter car on Long Island roads. New York, has just run 2A 8 miles to a ga1- Ion Of gasoline. It was equipped with the new RayfeId carburetor.
 Here also the car performed with out adjustment. of the carburetor for speed, hill climbing and throttIins down
 And just to show that these per foTTnances were no hukes another test made on the Chandler car with the new Rayhe1d carburetor in Phi1a- ord of 24.z miles to a gallon of gas oIine
 It is remarkable that three cars in such widely separate localities, with varied weather conditions. shouI6 have shown such unIforn results.
 < To the znotorist whose fuel bills are a constant irritation. the news df such results from a six cylinder car will come as very welcome promise of relIef from et1le excessive cost of the past.
