temporary repair, and often a perm

the water from the system and with

Few motorists understand or real
lie the work that is ordinarily re-
quired of a starting motor. Because
they are informed that an electric
motor viii start an engine they be-
lieve that they are justified in using
1t as they please, and that the motor
will endure all manner of abuse, when
as a matter of fact they ought to be
exceedingly careful and not unnec-
essarily burden 1t.
The starting motor is in service but
a very brief part of the time that the
car Is driven, and the cranking of the
engine requires but very few sec
onds. But there are innumerable pos
sibilities for overlooking a machine
and doing damage that may be seri-
Gus. Motorists who have cranked an
cuB1n6 ny mana OuBnL 10 KNOW that
the conditions that cause starting to
be difficult when done manually OBJ
tain in the same ratio when the en-
CINE Is started mechanically.
For a better understanding of this
subject a review of the conditions that
may obtain is desirable. The as
sumption is that an engine is per-
fectly balanced and that comparative
ly little effort Is necessary to turn 1t,
which is correct enough in theory pro-
vided there is no resistance to turn
ing. But first of all there Is the fric-
ton Of the moving and contracting
parts, the piston rings and the pis-
tons against the cylinder walls, the
connecting rods, the crankshaft bear
ings, the timing gears. the camshafts,
the valve tappets, the valves Gone or
more against spring tension), the
water pump, the magnetic, the genera
tor, the lubricating pump, the fan,
as well as the weight of these parts
and the f1ywheel (the inertia) to- be
moved; there is the resistance Of the
lubricant between all moving and con-
tacting surfaces, and in addition there
is the necessity Of COMPRISING the gas
or atmosphere in at least one cylinder
to a pressure from 40 to 80 pounds.
The power required to turn the en-
CINE depends also upon the dimensions
of the parts and the leverage that is
obtained with the starting crank.
Normally the most efficient applica-
ton of manual power is a quick ef-
fort, but this is necessary from the
fact that only a very strong man
could do this slowly, and that an en-
CINE must have as much momentum
as is possible to give IL, especially
with magnetic ignition, for the electric
spark can only be created by the ac-
ton of the machine.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-01-25

This is the time of the year that
difficulty is liable to be encountered in
starting the engine. When the car Is
equipped with an electric starter, con-
tinuous spinning of the motor will
soon run down the storage battery. A
sure method Of preventing extra tax
alton of the battery is to provide some
reliable printing arrangement.
The chief duty of the motorist Is
to determine that the battery is fully
charged and that the electrolyte fully
covers the battery plates. There Is no
danger of a fully charged battery
freezing. The specific gravity should
be tested by hydrometer at least
once every two weeks. The reading
should range between 1880 and 1900
at all times. If this condition does
not exist the motor should be run at
generating speed for a considerable
period or the battery should be
charged by an expert. When proper
care is accorded the battery the only
work necessary should be the adding
of distilled water. This water evapo-
rates and must be replaced.

HOW DODGE MOTOR
CARS ARE PACKED

The enormous demands made on
the railroads by motor car companies
is little realized by the public. The
average man reads of the thousands
Of automobiles being produced eaca
year. but he gives no thought to the
complicated task of distributing
these cars about the country.
But it is a subject to which the
traffic departments of the motor car
plants have given considerable
thought and attention and many ways
have been worked ont to utilize the
last bit of space in the freight cars.
The method used by Dodge Broth
ers is typical From this big plant
at Detroit, completed motor cars
are shipped five to the freight car.
This is accomplished by virtually
arranging for upper and lower berths
for the cars.
In loading. complete car is run
into one end of the freight car.
Chain tackles are. attached to the
roof of the car at either end Of the
automobile and it is lifted to the top
of the car. A staunch frame work is
built under it after the wheels have
been detached. 1t is carefully block
ed and braced and another car run
underneath. The wheels remain on
this car AMI they are carefully block
ed. The cars are packed in the end
OF the freight car in the same fash
ion, and the fifth motor car is placed
in the center OF the car. All the cars
are carefully covered with heavy
wrapping paper

A true boattype stream line body
blends into the tapering hood and
curved radiator in the very newest
and most handsome variation of the
prevailing 1916 model. A clean, low

solid characteristics of the many hea.

more supple qualities expected in a
car of the present day. Furthermore,
it adds another link in the growing

tor, as is we'll known, cOnserves and
uses a higher percentage of the ener-
gy contained in fuel than any other
type of gasoline motor. The absence
of valve pockets in this motor means
that there is less heat to escape into
the Water-jacketed area surrounding
the cylinders, and as heat and power
are one and the same thing in motor
carS0peration it can very readily be
seen that, the Valve.lnlHead motor
bears a very direct relation to the
pocket book of the automobile user.
And as the price Of gasoline goes up
this advantage of the Valve4In-Head
typo of motor becomes increasingly
apparent.
I'm all types Of motors except the
Valye-ln,Head there is an absolute
waste Of power, which means a waste

of fuel, and this waste has been care
fully computed by Buick engineers
to be in the neighbOrhoOd Of fifteen
to twenty per cent of the entire ener-
gy contained in gasoline. NJ
'Hundreds of users of the five-pas-
senger Buick touring car have report
ed gasoline mileage averaging all the
way from seventeen to tWenty-three
miles per gallon. This is exceptional
ly high. 1t is plain, therefore, that
while little can be done toward keep
ing the price of gasoline down. these
high prices can be offset. in a very
large measure, by using the type OF
car which makes the utmost. use Of,
the fuel supplied. The higher gasO.,,
line is in price, the more important it
is that as much power be derived
from it rs possible.

The Buick Motor Company, almost

ACTION IMPERATIVE FOR KAUAI
HoMESTEADERS.

Governor Pinkham and Land Commissioner
Rivenburgh will find plenty to do on Kauai
when they go to straighten out the tangled
Kapaa- Waipouli homestead and the Lihue-
Makee railroad and water-rghts agreements.
The situation to which the Advertiser draws
attention today in more than page of news,
interviews and comment is the situation to
which the Star Bulletin directed public atten-
tion more than two weeks ago. And it is a
situation that well deserves the emphasis which
the Advertiser now gives it. For more than a
year the Kauai homestead agreements have
been cup in the air. and the water-rights and
railroad agreements DELAYED. The license
which Col. Spalding submitted to the governor,
for land and water rights, railroad rights, etc,
has not been approved, and with public atten-
tion turned on it, is less likely to be considered
as at all approaching proposition in the
public interest. Certainly many of the Kauai
homesteaders feel that they have a just
grievance and that this grievance is likely to
be more bitter in the future if the Spalding IL
cense goes through
The approaching visit of the governor may
clear the atmosphere. The point made that
the hemesteaders are afraid to speak out is
probably correct to degree But in private
conversation they have not hesitated to express
their opinion, and so far as the Star Bulletin
has been informed, that opinion is that most
of the homesteaders would rather enter into
agreements with Lihue Plantation than with
Makee Sugar Company. Until the railroad to
Lihue is constructed, such agreements are i'm
possible, which is the imperative reason why
there should. not have been this continued de-
lay in'settling the vexed questions
The Star Bulletin believes that if the terri
torial administration would take a definite
stand and stick to it. making the interests of
the hemesteaders the first consideration and
guaranteeing the future of the man with the
small holding, the rival plantation interests
would simply have to settle their differences
That stand has so far been lacking.

AN EDITORIAL By A VISITOR.

This little editorial We give in the words OF
Mr.. William Sexton of San Francisco. Mr..
Sexton is here with the visiting Shriners:
II have been to HilO, to your Volcano. l
want to say that the road from Hilo to this
wonder of nature is the best auto road in the
hills | was ever on. Don't smile. | do not
mean that it is the smoothest road I've ever
been on or the.easiest But it 5 the safest for a
night road There's not skid in the whole
length, because of the formation of the sur
face Not a side-hill where the car might
plunge off and into an abyss.
1.-THE scenery is grand; many places have
grand scenery. But when we read on the coast
of your Volcano, we think of some perilOus
ride along the edges of gorges and upon roads
where wrong turn of the wheel, or a misstep
of the horse will send the traveller into space.
That IS not the case here.
Advertise that road for safety! You don t
say half enough about this feature. Let all
America know that your Volcano is at the end
of perfectly safe ride. And-excuse me for
butting in!'' .@ 49,"
You're certainly excused, Mr.. Sexton!

THE LATEST RECRUIT,

1t is interesting to note how rapidly the
movement for military training in the public
schools is spreading over the country. The
latest recruit to the ranks is the city Of Hobo
ken, New Jersey. The city commissioners have
just voted $4,000 to inaugurate training. New
York state is among the leaders in this move
ment. The preparatory schools of various cit
les are the media for training youths from y
to Is.
Already it has been published locally that a
vote among the parents of a number of New
York schools showed an overwhelming ma
iority in favor of such training. 1t is probable
that the next session of the territorial legisa-
ture will see revived the plan which was killed
last year after some public hearings which
brought out in force the ant" militarists"

WHAT DO THE TAXPAYERS SAY?

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. 49,
Sir: in this mornings Advertiser, in
a signed letter, my friend Charles R.
Forbes states as follows:
q was under instructions to nro-
coed to Washington in the.interest of
certain legislation desireds by the gov
ernor of the territory. one of the bills
Tor which | was to work providing
that the adjutant general of the Ha-
wall National Guard should be an ap-
polntee of the president, in order that
there might be continuity in the pol
Icy OF the guard administration and
that the National Guard might be
placed wholly outside of any POSSIBLE
ity of partisan politics. The national
government desired this: the various
ranking officers of the regular army
In Hawaii had expressed t1eir APPROX
al of it, and the governor desired it.
AS matter OF fact, am quite pre-
pared TO state that nine-tenths Of the
citizens of Hawaii desire it,
If Charley, as he says. Represents
nine-tenths of the citizens of Hawaii,
and will concede he represents
$4,000 of our resident Brown Broth
ers, who are not citizens of Hawaii,
/, as one of the remaining one-tenth
of Hawaii's citizens, would like to
point out that the bill referred to by
Charley was one simply and solely for
the purpose OF landing Sam Johnson,
Republican, in this position at a
higher salary then even that of the
governor himself ":..
h. ii A. =,
the governor, was for the purpose Of
placing the National Guard ont side of
any possibility of partisan politics is
not very convincing to the average
man, when the same governor, con-
trary to the Organic Act, commissions
three of the most prominent Republi-
can senator's, one-fifth of the total
number OF senators, besides the
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, as National Guard officers.
It is very refreshing to know that
this bill to land Sam Johnson at $4,000
per" was one of the bills which
Forbes was sent to Washington to
work Cor at the joint expense, mind
you, of the harbor board and the pub
lie utilities board. Maybe the COVER
nor can justify to himself an order
to the harbor board and the public
utilities board to pay Charley's ex-
penses to Washington in an endeavor
to lift the National Guard out of parti-
san politics, but how can he to the
taxpayers? What difference is it to
those boards whether the National
Guard is injected with partisan poll
tics or not, CT whether it is necessary
to pay Sam Johnson $4,000 a year to
rescue the National Guard from the
political mire which Pinkham says he
found it in and let it stay in for over
a year and half before the uplift
movement was started?
This whole thing of taking the Ma
tiCnal Guard out of politics is just
bunk pure and simple

A BUILDING FOR THE SOLDIERS

SchGfield Barracks, March 81, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. r.
Sir: Reference to the numerous
questions and answers thereto, What
Can Honolulu do For the Soldiers" or
What Can the Chamber of Commerce
Of Honolulu do For the Soldiers? ?"
(The question is what are they will
ing to do?)
The writer is of the firm belief that
the suggestion made by Chaplain Fea-
ly, Schofield Barracks, comes nearer
to the point of solving the question
What Can We Do for the Soldiers
than any suggestion which has as yet
been made, viz:
Give the boys of Schofield
Barracks nice, large gymna-
stun building with such cOnstruc-
ton as VIII afford a nice riding
hall in the center of the building,
with seating facilities on all four
sides and a bandstand in one end
of the building; place set aside
for bowling alleys, etc. Nearly all
posts in the United States have
such a building as the writer re-
fers to, and some are deliberately
equipped with swimming pools,
bowling alleys, and ali sorts of
athletic equipment The War
Department makes an annual al
lotment for the maintenance of
building and athletic goods re-
r quired therein
/. No doubt if the good citizens and
the Chamber, of Commerce would
start movement with the object in
view of erecting a hall such as refer
red to, they would receive a good fin
ancial support from the boys of Scho-
field Barracks.
