THOROUGHLY TRAINEDINDEIAILS

to put the teamster on the truck. Ii
the man has served you faithfully,
and has fair amount of intelligence,
by all means give him trial, and nine
times out of 10 he will prove a great
success.
He has the great advantage of know
ing nothing about trucks, but is will
ing to be taught This last phase is
very important. This kind of man
will follow instructions more carefully
than will the hired chauffeur and will
take more pride in his machine. A
chauffeur cannot be taught anything.
for he feels experienced-although he
actually is in few cases.
The Lesson for Transfers
To break in a teamster on a truck,
take him to the outer edge of the city.
and as soon as you get away from the
traffic let him drive awhile, to get &C.
customed to the manipulating of the
wheel. Then stop and carefully explain
the clutch action and why there are
several gear shifts, using plain, simple
words. Among the first thing Is to i'm
press strongly on his mind how to
stop quickly. Then the man sits be-
hind the wheel and tries starting and
stopping. Do this at least a dozen
times. By night he has become pretty
fsmiliar with the actual driving. The
next day show him how to crank the
engine; see that the oil in the crank
case is up to level, turn up all grease
cups. look in the radiator and gasoline
tank Then get the instruction book
and read over every word aloud, ex-
planning each diagram or picture. EX-
anime the tool box and show him what
use each tool has. The rest of the
day he drives but now the truck Is in
service.
The third day read the instruction
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-03-17

book and also each day that an in
structor is along. Do this many times.
The third morning the man turns UP
the grease cups, gives each one a
couple of turns, and repeats to the
instructor the principal instruction OF
the first few days.
The fourth day is a repetition Of
the third, with a few new points add
ed, such as cleaning the spark plugs
and carburetor, washing out the
clutch, taking up chains, detecting
explosion misses, tightening the steer.
ing post, flushing out the water sys-
tenn, taking up brakes, Tightening all
nuts, spring clips, etc. OF course, care
must be taken not to crowd the man
too fast, but at the same time teach
him all you possibly can that may
be useful to him. "..a<[. -"
The fifth day everything previously
studied is gone over; in this way, and
only this way, can so much be i'm.

not quick at grasping things, they
must be drilled in. This day we must

explains their proper oil levels.
The sixth day is again review Of
the other five. He asks for informa.
ton on any point not previously Gov
cred, or one he may not have under
stood. .....@. e.. -,. s.. ....
TIE Last Day OF instruction
On the seventh and last day have
him change oil throughout the car
and refill to make sure he under
stands the amount and kinds. He re-
packs all grease cups, tightens and
greases chains, and in fact, actually
performs every operation touched on
during the week Then test him by
slyly disconnecting spark plug ter
minal and let him detect and find the
miss, or change the carburetor adj
iustment to see if he will notice it.
In fact, this day he gives it the same
rcundhouse attention that he should
give it every 1000 miles. This round.

BODY CONSTRUCTION NEXT
BIG PROBLEM OF BUILDERS

The next big step in the automobile
industry, and one that is being taken
now, is not a question of mechanism,
but of body construction, according to
George S. White, sales manager Of the
Grant Motor Car Corporation. The
advent of the convertible enclosed car
at low cost is the most interesting
DEVELOPMENT of the motor business in
1916-1917," said Mr.. White ''The most
interesting development Of the year to
many persons Is the advent of low.
priced, but high quality convertible
sedan" .... - .....:
How complex is the. problem con-
fronting the automobile designer in
building the modern car can be better
appreciated when it is known that
economy of operation is very largely
dependent on such an apparently in
significant point as the location of the
valves in the cylinders. The location
of valves determines the shape OF the
combustion chamber, an important
factor in efficient operation in view Of
the part it plays in determining the
rate of combustion, the heat loss
through the cylinder walls, the thor.
oughness with which the cylinder is
cleared of burned gases and the
amount of fuel condensation. The
franklin is stated to have always been
a leading exponent of scientific design
and efficiency in motor car construc'
ton, and the use of the valve in the
head type of cylinder in the Franklin
engine has been standard practise
since 1902. Incidentally, the Franklin
was the first car in the American field
with a valve in. the head engine.

Time Spent on Training Opera
tor is Well Spent; Means ;
Economical Service
Compiled by Milo Blake


1t has been said that fully 80 per
cent of motor truck troubles are due
to the carelessness of the drivers.
Whether this is true or not is difficult
to say, but 1t Is certain that many
troubles arise, due either to lack of
attention on the part of the operator
or because they are not sufficiently
familiar with the mechanical details
Of operation to realize when immedi-
ate attention is required, to avoid
trouble.
Economical service from any motor
car depends upon systematic care,
PROPER handling, capacity loads and
minimum loading time
The breaking IN" of a new driver
on a motor truck is a very important
feature.
On this man depends to a great ex-
tent the success of the truck. Through
him 1t can be run one year or five
years, granting, of course, that the
machine Is first-class one 1t might
be said here for the benefit of buyers
Of motor cars or trucks that when q
heavy commercial car is offered at a
low figure, beware. To get the goods
one must pay the price and in the
long run it will pay to do it. So if you
have a cheap. big car. don't expect
your driver to keen it running like a
'"h-"rieed one. He cannot do it,
Give TIE Teamster a Chance
Most motor truck buyers are at
present using horses and disposing OF
them as the trucks are bought. The
first question one thinks of is whether
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-03-17

must the truck receive a certain
amount every day and good looking
over every 1000 miles.
We now have, the beginning Of a
good driver who thoroughly under
stands the care Of his truck. II Is now
up TO the owner to see that he does
it. Or course, he will not have every
thing clearly In mind, but when
trouble comes. he viii recall these
things and this drill win then be very
useful to him. II is most important to
impress on him the value OF little
work every day. a good job every two
weeks or 1000 miles.
To the owner this means reduced
expenses and two years added to the
life of the truck. To the driver 1t
usually means an increase in wages,
for the average owner appreciates
this care Of his equipment

tain chain of cigar stores selected
their store sites by stationing investi-
gators on various corners in city.
These men, from early until late.
kept an actual count Of the number OF
people who passed each particular cor
ner during hours. BY this means they
determined what corners were best for
their stores and then got those loca-
tons, no matter what the cost.
In no less careful manner the
National car builders determined the
question Of their touring sedan. They
kept actual count on various street
corners in many metropolitan cities,
in rural communities and in, small
towns of the percentage OF ahtomO-
biles now In use that are driven with
the tops up.
1T was universally discovered that
far more than 50 per cent OF all tour.
ing cars now in service are driven
with their tops up ....-,
In other words. there Is no guess
work about whether the majority OF
motorists prefer TO have their tops up
and appreciate the many advantages in
this.

The only question left for National
was to determine the exact style,
type or design Of top that would be
most adequate. a-..-.. Il.
ITO determine thi1, National had its
expert body engineers make exhaus-

upon National dealers to make inquir-

many National car owners
Linz says: 1T is interesting to
note how National has been leader
in the past and has pioneered center
improvements and advances. This, OF
course, has been necessary and has
gained for National the authority Of
