Against the advice of friends and
contrary to the past performances
of any motor car, c. L. Butler, Of
Berkeley, CAL, in a Peerless "s,'
manufactured by the Peerless Motor
Car Company, of Cleveland, has
made a record run in the Yosemite
Valley which is the envy of all au-
tomobile men. In spite Of danger.
Gus turns, tricky roads and rigid
driving laws, Butler, with a com.
panion, made the round trip from
Oakland, CAL, to the Yosemite Val
lev and return, a trip which crd-
narily takes two days each way IA
10 hours and 10 minutes.
In order to determine the strength
and stretching ability of United
States red inner tubes, the United
States Tire Company has instituted
what they are pleased to call an ex'
plosion test.
A tube which ordinarily under
road conditions withstands total in.
ternal pressure Of from 80 to 100
pounds. as recorded by the tire gauge,
was inflated practically to the burst
ing point. During the initiation. a
pressure recording chart was at
tached to the tube. The tube was
subjected TO a total internal pressure
of 10000 pounds.
On August II the Ford Motor
I Company opened its four story
branch factory in Oklahoma CITY,
and the city was virtually turned
over to Fords and Ford owners. by

than 5000 persons had registered
at the factory and passed in &c see
Ford cars being made. AT noon
the Ford Motor Company served
luncheon to over 5000 agents anc
visitors. During the course OF the
day S11,000,000 worth Of Ford cars
were contracted for, as much bust
ness as most motor companies are
proud of doing in a year.

passenger inclosed bodies, the fold
ing seats are of the forward disap-
pearing type.
Probably the most noteworthy
change from the mechanical point of
view is the unique water circulation
system. In the place of the water
being expelled from the forward
ends of the cylinder blocks, as is
customary with V-type motors, the
gas intake manifold has been cored
out to permit all water from the
cylinder jackets to be circulated
through this manifold and thence to
the radiator through a single tube
at the centre.

L. B. D.-The generator on my D.
cylinder Oldsmobile seems to have
only one oil hole. All the other mos
tors | have seen are oiled at both
ends of the armature. Kindly let me
know why no oil hole is provided at
the other end of the generator.
The reason that only one end OF
the generator has an oil hole is that
the other end is taken care of by the
driving chain, which throws up
enough oil to properly lubricate it.
The 4-cylinder models, however,
are taken care of differently. They
have two oil holes on the generator.

A. X. MI recently examined the
clutch compartment of my Chandler
Six and found that the oil plug had
been removed from the bottom of
the case. Kindly let me know if this
is all right.
1t is correct for the plug to be out
of the hole, because the thrust bear
ing in the clutch is oiled from the
transmission through a hole in the
centre of the shaft. The dry disk
clutch must not be touched by oil,
and in order to keep any oil from
getting in, a hole is put there to
drain off the surplus oil that comes
from off the thrust bearing.
The reason that the hole is thread
ed is because a clutch was formerly
used that required one pint of oil.
Now that a dry disk is used, how
ever, no oil is required, but the same
case is being used.
Will you also tell me whether
lubricating my Hartford shock alb
sorbers that are stiff will make the

No, do not Intricate them. Ease

how our driver could make the
time he did over these winding roads,
but when he told of driving in the
old Briarcliff races it was all ex-
planned.
All the country we were going
through was of exceptional beauty,
but here we found the most beautiful
spots of all. a new macadam road,
almost unknown to motorists,
brought us to Pines Bridge, and by
following the valley road we were at
Briarcliff. Just a few minutes
stop, then on the road again.
Coming back, the sun was getting low
and the shady roads were more love
ly than even in the morning. We
followed the Albany Post Road all
the way in. Arriving in New York
at 7 o'clock, we found that the car
had averaged 1876 miles to the gallon
