Work of removing trees, filling in
low places and generally grading and
smoothing off the Packard aviation
field, which borders on Lake st.
Clair, near Mount Clemens, Mich, Is
well under way. Practical tests of
the first big aircraft motor manufac.
tured by the Packard Motor Car Com
.pany will take place early in July.
These tests will be made with a
Sloane aeroplane of the tractor type.
The big motor will develop 800 horse
power.
At Sheephead Bay recently, J. G..
Vincent, vice-president of engineer
ing and. inventor of the twin-six
motor, and Ralph De Palma, racing
man, made tests of smaller motor
which the Packard Company has de-
veloped for use In the scout type Of
plane, in q specially designed speed
ster that Mr. Vincent calls the aero.

all of the previous findings made in
laboratory tests at the factory expert
mental shops.
Severe Test.
The purpose Of the speedway try.
out was to make sure Of the principles
OF twin-six design for aircraft motors.
The motor was run continuously for
long periods on the speedway at 1900
revolutions per minute. The neces-
sary horsepower and engine speed for
aeroplane usage are developed at BOO
revolutions per minute. Hence the
track work IL q much more severe
test Of the engine than actual flying.
The aeroplane car made to1 miles
ii 1856 minutes. Several laps were
taken at from 100 to ITO miles per
hour. On the straightaway q speed
Of 11S. miles-psE hour zlass reached.
The car viii not be entered In any
racing competitions, as 1t was not
designed for q racing car. Its only
purpose Is to make tests OF aircraft
motors. But Mr.. Vincent says It IL
probable that some public demonstra.
tons will be arranged. Such exhibit
tons of speed work will be carried
on under A. A. A supervision
Slight Difference.
The aircraft motor tried out on the

from the twin-six motor used In the

SAN DIEGO RUN

IS. ANAL YZED

The record made last week by R. C..
Durant In a Baby Grand" model
Chevrolet for the round trip between
Los Angeles and San Diego Of hours
and 55 minutes was not for the pur.
pose of showing any terrific amount
CT speed, but was staged so that those
interested in the light car OF that
price might be assured that the stock
placed in these machines will and
does stand the test of long, hard and
continuous road driving at a good
deal more than average speed. His
average was 35 7-19 miles per hour.
An official Of the company In dis
cussing the run said:
What Durant did with the little
stock baby grand can be done with
any baby grand model. Cars OF the
wheel base like that of the Chevrolet
are net built to hold the road at any
greater speed than so miles per hour.
II would be folly to attempt any more
than this as 1t would be too danger
Gus. bat 1t Is now definitely proved
fact that little car OF this type, when
constructed along standard lines and
of standard material, can do so and
SO miles per hour and keep 1t up.
"A great many think that trip to
San Diego is altogether over smooth
ly. paved roads, but such is not the
case. Owing to the floods which Wis
tied the southern portion of the coun.
try last winter, rough detours and
wash-outs have to be covered In or
der to make the trip between the two
cities. Also there are several very
severe grades on this road. Thus any
automobile sent over at its maximum
efficiency receives full test both for
speed and power.
"Durant could have made much
faster time had he wished to overtax
the little motor. but his idea was to
make a record with the stock car.
using the same at its points of great.

sary to complete the trip"

True enough. there Is a convenient
rule-ofthumb method by which the in.

with fair accuracy for any tire under
ordinary loads. This method is one
that is more widely known than OBJ

Pump the tires TO 20 pounds for each
inch OF cross-sectional diameter, That
Is, fourinch tire. so pounds, and SO on.
While this is good general rule, it

The pressure 10 which tire should
be inflated depends upon the maximum
allowable detection of the tire under
load-:hat is, the degree to which il
fiattens out at its point OF contact

ries directly as the load carried and
inversely as the pressure within the
tire-that is, the greater the load, the
greater the DETECTION with the same
pressure, and the greater the pressure,
the less the detection with the same
load.
Consequently, within limits, it is
possible to make up for increased load
by increasing the air pressure. This
is the basis upon which most of the
tire imitation tables are written. For
certain specified loads given tire,
must have certain specified pressure.
Instead of determining by tests the
proper tire imitation for given load,
and leaving to the owner to deter
mine the load on the tire for himself,
and then find from the table the
proper pressure to prevent detection,

ment, which it Calls a tire caliper, by

ALONG TOGETHER
Efficiency League States That
Auto Lessons Use of Drink;
Motor Age Agrees

The Fox River Valley Efficiency
League, of Illinois has made a new
claim for the automobile. A few weeks
ago a preacher said that the auto
mobile was having the effect of in
creasing church attendance in the
rural districts, extending the radius
of the attendance many miles. Now
the Fox River Association confers an.
other moral, or uplifting, attribute on
the automobile, asserting that the ef
feet of the motor car is to lessen the
drink habit, that its influence on the
operator is toward total abstinence
and that the rapid increase in the
use of automobiles is to play an i'm
portant part In decreasing the con.
sumption of alcoholic beverages.
Commenting on this assertion Motor

friends are correct in their arguments
