.Sl3,5OO PRIZES
TO STAR DRIVERS
Goodrich Company Offers
$4,000 for Champion
ship Selections.

IL means something this year TO be
declared the champion driver Of 1916
by the contest board Of the American
Automobile Association, for the daring
pilot so selected will not only get the
title, but in addition his bank account
will be materially added to.
Thanks TO the craftsmanship OF sew
eral Of the big concerns in the indus
try, Chairman Kennerdell Of the A. A.
A. contest board is able to announce
that. in addition to the title. there will
be a sum of S1S,50O distributed among
the first three to finish in the cham
pionship award table. In addition
thereto there will be a $1,000 cup.
This purse received most notable
addition last week. when Chairman
Kennerdell received letter from II.
f. Raymond, vice-president Of the Is.
F. Goodrich Company. stating that the
Goodrich company had decided TO give
the sum of $4,000 to the A. A. A., TO
be distributed as follows:
To the driver awarded the champion
oud position. $4,000; 20 the driver
scoring third position, $4,000.
I'VE have been informed that, under
suitable rules and regulations, your as
ISOLATION will determine the champion
ship driver for the racing season OF
1916" writes the Goodrich company:
1--WE welcome this, not only because OF
its value to the sport, but Of the op-
portunity afforded us TO offer, through
YOUR board, an appreciation tesu-
monial TO drivers for their personal
selection of Sivertown Cord tires by
outright purchase. absolutely without
any restrictions whatsoever as TO the
use of same as any condition OF our
gift.
"The fact that Silvertown construc-
ton invites automatically the selection,
without free donation Of tires for rae
ing use, might be taken 10 relieve US
of reason for participation IN cham-
pionship awards. 1t is our pleasure to
feel differently"
In addition 10 the $4,000 Goodrlch
purse. Chairman Kennerdell also has
accepted the offer made by the Bosch
Magnetic Company of $500 in cash and
a 81 900 Bosch cup. o. this sum, S2,COo
and the cup go TO the champion
driver. 81 600 to the second and $500 TO
the third. Like the Goodrich purse,
there is no string TO the Bosch offer,
it being an out-and-out gift.

Six hours before leaving Los Angeles a
letter was mailed to Mr.. Baker at

arrived two hours before the letter.
The distance covered was 1900 miles:
II seems that at this rate we should
soon begin TO use automobiles as
transcontinental mail carriers instead
of railroads.
Very little time was wasted on this
trip. The car was given gas and oil
and then driven TO the limit. To make

AUTO INSPECTORS
ACTIVITIES
Cause of Many Arrests for
InfractiOns of the Motor
Vehicle Laws.

Six automobile inspectors in the em-
ploy of New York State will begin their
duties within the next few days. The
entire number have been selected from
a list submitted by the Civil Service
Commission following an examination
of some months ago. On a lookout for
violations Of the motor vehicle law the
duties of the inspectors will take them
over the entire state. From now on
motorists will do well TO bear in mind
these few don'ts that may save them
time and trouble:
Don't run an automobile with last
years license plates.
Don't think that one plate IS just as
good as two, or that you can get along
without any. The idea may cost you a
few dollars.
If you are chauffeur, don't forget
that the state requires a badge and q
card, and, what is more, these are not
20 be left at home or at the garage.
If you are a dealer, don't take ?
chance with the inspector by using
extra plates intended solely for demon
stration purposes on commercial or
pleasure cars.
Don't operate a car while intoxicated.
There is possible Imprisonment for a
wear or a fine of $500, or both, staring
you in the face.
Don't forget the lights at night.
Incidentally, it's not bad plan TO
wash the mud from the license plates.
While the state inspectors do not
have the power TO make arrests, they
can. however. report violations TO the
local authorities which are generally
productive of results. Some idea of
The importance of the work done by
the INSPECTORS is shown in the fact
that nearly ten times the amount paid
in salaries TO the six last year was
taken in by the authorities IN fines
resulting from reported violations.

The great point is. of course, TO have
the gears you intend TO engage running

This means allowing the gear shaft TO

first two changes up and the last two

am having trouble with a cone
clutch. 1t slips badly, and yet the
leather seems TO be in good condition.
Can you suggest the cause?-E. NJ.
If the condition Of the clutch facing
is as you say, It is probable that
either the clutch spring tension is in
sufficient TO keep the parts closely in
driving engagement or else there is a
coating Of lubricating oil on the
leather facing. 1t is simple matter
to adjust the clutch spring TO the re-
quired tension, unless it has been
weakened by long service and needs
replacement with a new one. If the
trouble is caused by oil the spplica-
ton of fullers' earth to the leather
will absorb the oil and put matters
right. On your car the action of ap-
plying the emergency brake and latch
ing it will hold the clutch out of en-
gagcment sufficiently to allow you to
apply the fullers' earth.
