centre. the spark lever being fully
retarded.
How can one tell whether it is
too far in advance or retarded?
If too far retarded the motor will
labor and heat with spark advanced;
if too far advanced the motor will
knock with spark fully advanced.
In meshing a drive pinion against
a bevel ring on this car, just how
deep should the gear be meshed?
The gears should be meshed at
such a point that there will be a
minimum noise when the car is pull
ing and when it is coasting. When
the motor is pulling the gears are
driven out by the thrust; when coast
ing they climb in by reverse thrust,
being applied from the action of the
wheels. A mean adjustment be-
tween the two extremes gives the
most quiet gears.
The motor has been completely
overhauled and worked quietly for
the first 100 miles; then it COM
menced to assume a grinding or
humming sound, which increased in
volume as | accelerated the motor.
This sound is much more in evidence
when the motor is idling than when
it is pulling. When pulling it vi
brates through the frame. 1t is not
harsh grind, but an annoying one.
What would you suggest was the
matter?
Your description gives little idea
Of where the noise comes from. Pos
sibly the trouble is incorrectly
meshed timing gears.-W. F. Russell,

in AeronauhcS
S. A. E. Committee Meets
at Bureau of Stand
ardS--WOrk I'm
der Way.

1t developed recently that the en-
tire visible supply in this country of
certain kinds of suitably seasoned
woods for aeroplanes has been con-
tracted for by foreign governments
since 1914. This is one of the many
indications of the necessity for ac-
ton on the part of engineers and
manufacturers engaged in the design
and production of aircraft.
The National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics recently held a meet
ing with view to bringing about CO.
operation between the United States
government and designers and manu-
facturers of engines in the develop
ment of motive power for aircraft,
and members of this board attended
a meeting of the Aeronautic Engine
Division of the Standards Committee
of the Society of Automobile Engi-
neers, held at the Bureau of Stand
ards, in Washington, last week.
The purpose of the S. A. +. Com
mittee meeting is practically identi-
cally the same as that of the stand
ardizing activity which the society
has maintained for many wears in
the motor car field. All the work
under way is for the purpose of lay
ing properly and efficiently now in
time of peace. the whole foundation
upon which the art of aeronautics
will be based.
The development in this country
should proceed more efficiently than
has been the case in Europe under
stress OF unprecedented warfare. 1t
must be appreciated, of course. that
tins development will take time. Con-
siderable mechanical difficulty is be-
ing experienced with aeroplanes
throughout the world.

The roads were in excellent condi-
ton, and the country around there
lust the sort you feel like riding
in all day. There were plenty Of
trees and neat little farms nestled
in among the abrupt, choppy hills.
Westfeld is pretty little town
with broad streets. and busy, I'M
portant air.
They told us there that the best
way back to New York was
through Crawford, Elizabeth and
Newark. So we followed North
Avenue out of Westfeld and found
it splendid. All the time it was
raining steadily, but the air was
cool and the country restful and
quiet. so we did not mind.
Out of Crawford we took East
Westfeld Avenue, finding it good,
too. and running through pleasant
country. We came to Elizabeth
and here found our old friend. the
Lincoln Highway again. From
Elizabeth we were soon in Newark,
then back in Jersey City and across
the ferry. At ten minutes past six
we were back at the Packard
building.
Just for fun we filled up the gas
tank to see how much gas we had
used-we had filled the tank to the
brim before we had started. The
speedometer showed that we had
gone just 60 miles and we had used
exactly 6 gallons-that meant lO.o
miles to the gallon.
We felt real proud of our car,
for all the return trip had been
made over wet roads; we had struck
the stretch of bad road going over,
and we had done considerable hill
climbing at the club. We thanked
each other for a mighty pleasant
day, and the trip was over.

Cadillac Eight Makes

Another road record has just been

lists with a Car Like the Packard and
Club Like BatusrOl.
By NJ. l.. ELSASSER.

As we neared Newark we began
race with storm that added zest
to the rest of our trip to the club.
There is one especially nice thing
about Newark-it has the incest
cops. At least, the one we talked
to was especially nice. Of course,
suppose he was favorably i'm
pressed by our car; at any rate,
he said it was a beauty, for when
we stopped to ask him the wav
he had us drive over TO the side of
the street and stop. Not content
with telling us the way and the
best roads, he hauled out paper and
pencil and drew us map. I be-
leve he was a map drawer by pro-
fession at some time or other. At
ter exchanging life histories, so to
speak, we went on our way again.
We followed Clinton Avenue till
we came to Springfield Avenue,
turning to the left. This road took
US direct to Maplewood through
some of the prettiest country. The
roads were smooth and shady from
the overhanging trees. Quaint
farm houses and well kept farms
were on either side of the road.
All we had to do was to slip, eff
FORTRESS, through sun and shadow,
till it seemed more like flying than
driving.
We Got the Ducking.
Good roads continued through
Milburn to Short Hills. We knew
the club was near Short Hills, but
we did not know just where it
was. And by this time our race
with the storm was getting desper-
ate. We had the top down and
didn't want to stop to raise it. The
clouds were piling up, blacker and
blacker. There was distant NUT
tering of thunder and an occasional
flame of lightning by way of en-
phasis. Of course, as luck would
have it, we had TO stop to ask our
way, and that delay, little as it
was. gave us a good ducking. For
we were only at the little Baltusrol
railroad station-about three city
blocks. | should say, from the club
when the storm broke. 1t was no
mild shower, either. 1t simply
poured. We scurried to the shell
ter of the station house, and then
finally made a dash for the club
house.
The minute you were there you
were at home. We had lunch out
on the veranda, overlooking the
links, and we were shown all the
pets of the club, including the al
igators.
Looking Over the Grounds.
After lunch it stopped raining
for a while, so we took the car up
into the hills back of the golf
course, incidentally making some
pretty steep grades on high. The
links themselves are beautiful.
Smooth, rolling lawn, with just the
right relief of trees and stream,
you can understand how, despite
the rain, there were many enthusi-
asts who could not be daunted.
We did not want to leave at all,
we were having such a good time,
but it was 4 o'clock, and had begun
to pour again. So we put up the
top and struck out for Westfield.

picked out this club as
we could not think of any other more
appropriate, for the ride there is
pretty, and then, the Packard just
seems TO fit in that sort of a setting.
We left the Packard Motor Car
Building, 61st and Broadway, at
11:15 Wednesday morning. The
weather man had promised US show
ers for the day, but it looked as If
it might clear. Besides. anticipation
was keen. A handsome, smart-look-
ing car-one of the kind that every
one turns TO look at twice-can make
you long to get out on the road on
even the worst kind of day. SO
there was no thought Of hesitation
about going.
How II Acts in Traffic.
We went direct to the AID Street
ferry. On the way there we had a
good chance to notice the great sensi-
tiveness of the twin six motor, for
traffic was pretty congested. But
with the Packard there was no
sense of discomfort, no matter how
tight the place. The motor was al
ways smooth, and you were i'm
pressed with the feeling that the car
and the motor would respond to any
test you wanted to give them.
Over in West New York we struck
the Lincoln Highway, then followed
the Hudson Boulevard through Jer-
sey City Heights All motorists
know this boulevard, but it always
has new joys. This day the expanse
of valley stretching away to our
right was dotted with shadows and
brilliant patches of sunlight. The
sun was trying its best TO break
through the clouds.
Find Some Thank You Ma'ams."
When we came to Newark Ave
nue. we turned to the right, fol-
lowing it. We thought we had
struck a good road, but we were
sadly mistaken. The road was so
pitted with chuck holes that there
was no use trying to dodge them.
But, after all, it was a good thing
that we got off the main road. 1t
is nice to think that your car will
do the things you want it to, but
it is better to know that it will.
We had been sure that the car was
easy riding and luxurious, but
after going over this bumpy road
we knew that it was all that.
There were only two of us in the
car, but we felt no shock from
even the worst thank you
ma ans" If you have been over
this road lately, you will know
that this is saying great deal.

EVANGELIST w. C. REEVES
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Thinking our readers might like to
know something of the man who is to
hold the meeting at the Baptist church
we give the following:
Rev. w. c. Reeves is S2 years of age.
was born and reared in Texas. He is a
fun graduate of Simmons college and
Rochester Theological Seminary. At
ter graduating from Rochester he was
called to the pastorate of the Emman-
uel Baptist church, Buffalo, N. Y. Dur
ing the eighteen months of this pastor
ate he baptized more people than all
the other twenty-six Baptist pastors in
the city. In September, 1914, he re-
signed his pastorate to become one of
the general evangelsts of his denomi-
nation. On account of sickness in his
family he again entered the pastorate,
becoming the pastor of the First Bap-
tist church OF Ashland. Ky. His work
began there February, 1915, and the
membership of that church has nearly
trebled since his connection with the
church.
Rev. Reeves is an earnest, eloquent,
attractive preacher. The Baptist church
and people of Louisa are fortunate is
securing the services of such an able
man.
