VERTICAL SPLIT new
MOTORS FEATURE
Design Greatly Simpli6es Oldsmo-
bile Eight Cylinder Engine.

Few. indeed. are the petentable fea-
lures Of any automobile motor. That
is why automobile engineering Is
largely a matter of picking and choos-
ing from among the scores Of ways
Of accomplishing the same results.
But a popularity in the design Of
the eight-cylinder motor is the Olds-
mobile. design known as the 'ver-
teal split" was found to be patent
able. As a consequence the oldsmo-
bile manufacturers are enabled to offer
motor car buyers an engine not open
to copying.
One of the main difiiculties barri-
cading the path to perfection In eight
cylinder engine design was q compli-
cation Of parts. The Oldsmobile en-
gineering department devoted months
to simplifying their engine, and It was
the vertical split which eventually
brought success.
Instead of dividing the cylinder
blocks horizontally, they discovered
that a vertical division could be made
in such a way that v-shaped eight
cylinder motor could be assembled
more quickly. more simply. and with
fewer parts than pair of fours.
The two blocks. containing four cyl
inders each. and the crankcases are
made in only two castings.
The right-hand block includes -four
cylinders. half the crankcase and SOL
idly supports the crankschaft and
camshaft. The left-hand block Ia
blank" that is, 1t includes four cyl
! inders and half the crankcase, but
1t bears none of the strains of chank-
shaft or camshaft.
Each half is assembled as a sep

TO USE MAcHINISTS HAMMER
Amateur Repair Man Should Learn
Care in Handling This Tool.

Care in the use of a machinist's
hammer. which forms a part Of the
tool equipment of every automobile,
Is one OF the first things the anna
teur repair man must learn when
working around the engine. With
this hammer he can do more dam
age In moment than a first-class
mechanic can repair in a week. His
hrst inclination is to use this form
OF persuasion on any and every re-
fractory part, and this is a desire
which should be overcome.
Not only should the hammer itself
not be used on any metal parts
without the Intervention of a block
OF wood to protect the surface, but
care must be exercised to avoid
hitting the other parts through the
Iinaccuracy of aim that distinguishes
the unskilled wielder of this tool.
A poorly aimed blow that misses its
target and lands on one of the valve
push rods or similarly vulnerable
parts with any degree of force is
apt to cause trouble of an expensive
nature. 1t is good thing for the
novice to be sparing in the use of
mis- hammer as a cure-all. Do not
resort to 1t unnecessarily, and do
not use sledge-hammer blow
where light tap will do the work.

MOTORISTS COURTESY RULES

There has been a movement start
ed among motorists for recognizing
the presence and desires of others,
no matter what your rights may be.
The observance Of some of the fol-
lowing rules might help: First, do
not hog the middle of the street.
Give the other fellow room to 60
by, and when he attempts to pass
you do not speed up, and perhaps
crowd him into safety zone. Keep
out OF the safety zones. They are
for the pedestrian. 1t Is up to you
to make them safe.
When a fellow comes In from a side
street give him room to turn the cor
ner; do not crowd. When you park
behind another car, remember he
may wish to\leave before you do.
Give him room to stop or turn; do
not keep your intentions secret, but
think of the fellow behind. DO not
dodge in and around cars In line in
traffic. Remember they were there
first, and have just as great a de-
sire to get through as you have.
Do not presume too much when
you have the right of way. Perhaps
the other fellow does not know 1t.
DO not cut in front of a street car.
Remember the motorman is human.
and most of them will learn all the
courtesy you will teach them. When
you get the go" signal from a traf-
fic officer, remember to give the
pedestrian time to get out of the
way. When you see people on the
curb trying to reach a car, or vice
versa, slow up, and stop IL neces-
sary, but let them cross without dan
ger. When you see a child on the
curb slow up, for the child can start
quicker than you can stop. Do not
open your cutout on the streets dur
ing the day. Remember there are
many sick people and people on their
deathbeds. Do not open your cutout
at night, for you probably can re-
call some evening when you were dis
| turbed by some fool whose greatest
claim to fame was the noise he could
make. Above all be courteous at all
times.

other old garment is the black silk
knitted doublet, sleeveless and collar
less, and finished with a wide black
suede belt, having a large steel
buckle This is intended to wear as
a vestee under a tweed suit coat.
Little Trimming Used.
Hats and wells must be chosen in
becoming models. for the hats de-
pend on their shape for beauty, as
there is very little trimming used.
and the veil must match and be of
just the right color and shape to
make and not mar the appearance of
the hat. One of the smartest models
is the bell-crowned beaver hat. the
brim faced with white beaver. 1t is
of the finest quality, and may be IRON
ed just like a mans hat. Only an
octagon mesh, chenille shadow-faced
veil is permitted with this hat.

KEEPING UP WITH THE TIMES

O,It in small city in Kansas there
was recently a hospital for animals,
principally horses, under the admin
istration of a veterinary surgeon of
wide repute in that part of the State.
If resident of that region were to
return home after an absence of a
month and were to lead his ailing
quadruped DIP to the door of the Oil
familiar hospital, he would find there
a sign informing him that the insti-
tuition is now a garage and repair
shop, and beneath he would find the
name of the late. veterinary as pro-
prietor. The village blacksmith of
other days has frequently turned his
establishment into a repair shop for
motor cars, and the livery stable oft
en- becomes a garage in the fullness
OF time, but this is probably the first
instance in which a curer of equine
ailments turned his attention to die
toring sick motors.

Motor Fads and Fancies.
Small Furs Popular.

Small furs are most fascinating this
season, and include the little capes
falling to the waist line and ripplinG
over the shoulders from their high
convertible collars. The capes are
in all OF the short-haired furs, and
are lined with self-toned brocaded
.flks. Some are trimmed with a mar
row edge OF contrasting fur. but most
of the smartest ones are plain.
Turbans in Vogue.
Little fur or velvet turbans, mill
tary in shape. have a single gold, sill
yer or colored ornament in front or
at the side. Muffs to match are car
ritd with the capes. For riding, the
capes. over one-piece heavy tweed or
velvet dresses. are warm enough we'll
into the winter. Wide fur stoles and
high separate collars also will be
features in small wear.
Wide Range of Coats.
Coats are such a strong fashion fac
tor at this season that the shoppers
choice Is unlimited, fact that speaks
well for American designers, for their
models form fully two-thirds of the
stock. Plain, sensible coats, in man.
nish tweed models are fianked by
those OF velour, Bolivia cloth, army
cloth and novelty goods in smart
models trimmed elaborately with fur.
Still handsomer coats are those in
