O|L|NG- IS PROBLEM
FOR RACING DRIVER
Faulty Lubrication Cause Of
Many Disappointments In
Contests, Records Show.

Performance and endurance Of a rae
Ing car depend upon the fabrication Of
It's driving parts. The fabrication of
the motor especially is a most import
ant point for the driver or his mechanic
clan to watch. Statistics show that lu-
brication troubles have been responsible
for the withdrawal of a great number
of cars that had to quit the track when
their drivers were travelling along with
the speed and consistency that put the
big prize almost within their grasp.
when suddenly they were reduced to
also rams because the fabrication went
bad" says Louis Schwitzer. chief en-
gineer and production manager Of the
Empire Automobile Company and win
ner Of the first race on the speedway.
with modern. small, high efficiency
motors, turning over from $500 to 5000
and more revolutions per minute, a
speed which would have been impossible
years ago. 1t will be clear that the
lubrication. especially Of the bearings
and metal contained therein. must be
absolutely perfect to allow such tret
mendous speed to be maintained for b
great period of time.
The racing car has developed the
automobile. and the racing car is re-
sponsible for the development Of metals,
while the Importance OF fabrication sys-
TENS has been instrumental I'm produc-
Ing the reliable automobile of the pres
ent day. If fabrication is 20 important

more worthy of all possible attention in

Postal Department Trucks Be-

Collections.

A six months test by the Washing
ton postoffice of the Wagenthals three
wheel automobile service. tried by the
postal service in several cities. will be
completed in the near future. These
trucks have attracted much attention
In the Washington streets, where they
are a novelty. The first Wagenhals
machines in Washington were tried
exper1mentally in collection service for
a few days several years ago.
The two machines now In Washing
ton are being used in the parcel post
delivery service, however. Their work
is being compared to that of other
machines on Washington streets. The
machines are the property of the Post
office Department, and after operating
tests In other cities were placed ir
operation here on February !.
The three-wheelers are Of the light
delivery type. The drivers seat is ir

Much Interest Shown Here
In Smith Motor Wheel

Washington motorists have shown
much interest in the possibilities of the
Smith motor wheel as a means of con-
verting the bicycle itno real pleasure
vehicle The motor wheel weighs only
fifty pounds, and consists of A pneu-
matte tired wheel placed beside the rear
bicycle wheel, and contains motor, mag
neto carburetor, driving gear and
gasolene tank.
The claim is made by it's producers.
that the ingenious manner in which the
motor wheel is attached to the bicycle,
strengthens rather than weakens the BIZ
cycle, and that the life Of the latter is
greatly prolonged. The motor wheel It
is claimed, runs 100 miles on one gallon
of gasolene. Cleanliness and absence OF
vibration are marked features of the
motor wheel.
The Haverford Motorcycle Company.
Of which c. H. Cross Is manager, has
secured the Washington agency of the
motor wheel.

SIGNALS FROM AIR CRAFT.
Boot Clouds, Mirror Flashes and Torch
Bombs Are Used.

Boot Clouds, Mirror Flashes and Torch
Bombs Are Used.
To an army commander the value OF
q military aeroplane is it's power TO 10
cate hostile artillery and direct gunfire
rather than its bomb dropping posi-
bilities. Thus II is very necessary that
q pilot several thousand feet In the air
should be able 20 communicate with
the headquarters staff on earth so that
he may convey the necessary informa-
ton for the guidance Of gunners hurl-
ing shells at targets miles ahead which
they cannot see.
A very ingenious method of signal
ing from an aeroplane is by means OF
SCOT clouds. An apparatus filed with
lampblack rests near the hand OF the
aviator, and when he presses a lever
some Of this SCOT passes down a pipe
and is discharged In black cloud. The
pipe is so delicately arranged that the
clouds may be small or large. The
operator can spell out the Morse tele-
graphic code in little clouds, and they
can be read from the earth when the
aviator is 1000 feet high.
Another clever means Of signaling
from air craft Is that carried out by
means Of lamps and mirrors. A lamp
which has n fash Of 10000 candle pow
er sends piercing rays Of light through
a tube fitted with powerful magnifying
glasses. When message is sent the
operator directs his flasher In the re-
quired direction. presses Il button, and
a brilliant light flashes out, long or
short, according TO the pressure. The
officers on earth receive the message
and may send a reply In the same way,
being provided with similar mirrors
and lamps. The rays OF light sent out
are almost as bright as sunlight, SO
that they can be seen with the naked
eye for distance OF four miles In the
daytime and at night for a distance 6
eight miles.
When military aviators wish to drop
n written communication TO the earth
without descending they utilize an IN
genlous bomb. This contains the docu-
ment, and the projectile is weighted
so that IL falls sharp end first. AS the
end strikes the ground trigger Is re-
leased, which sets fire TO a torch on
top, and thus the location Of the bomb
Is indicated day or night-Pearson's

Landing the Lure That CoaNes the Sat

The bait caster! What memories OF
Hlypadded lakes, shimmering in the
FURNISHED gold of the setting sun, of
roseate twilight peace, when the lake
IS one vast mirror; OF furious battles
with that bulldog Of the sweet waters,
the black bass, are his!
A most difficult art, one that requires
more than a modicum of practice to
acquire-to place that lure precisely
In given spot, forty or fifty feet away,
where n bass may lurk-not near the
spot but right in it, mind you-to land
that lure SO as TO simulate a frog or
minnow naturally leaplng or jumping
to escape possible attack by n bass;
10 do all this with short rod and
high speed reel-casting the lure as a
small boy throws an apple from the
end Of a stick-to do this with accuracy
and defness is no unworthy ambition.
And after the strike comes battle

pound man, equalized by fair tackle,
that viii put the exhilaration of eter.
nal youth into any man-especially II
he proves himself worthy TO beat the
fish at his own game-to take him with
all the handicaps imposed by the nee.
essary tackle and win out against all

rushes and feints employed by the bat
