SERVICE DEMANDS
OF The AUTOMOBILE
Test Shows That a Little At.
tention Each Week Will
Protect the Car.
PROBLEM FOR THE DEALER

Service a much abused word. Serv-
ice in the automobile business as it
has been generally understood is to
get as much for as little financial re-
Enumeration as possible or without pay
at all. In a good many respects the
manufacturers and dealers are respon-
sible for this condition. The manufac-
turer, because he has not educated the
public rightly on service, and the
dealer, because he has been too willing
to ignore the few suggestions that
have been made to him. Always eager
to please, to make service an asset"
to his business, he has gone so far that
he does not have the equilibrium to
recover and change his service poll
cies so that they will be not only
profitable to him, but satisfactory to
the customer and manufacturer.
Plan after plan has been given
trial-but the only solution to the
service problem is the rigid enforce
ment OF safe business methods.
Invariably, If the dealer will keep
check, he will find that he had his
greatest service troubles with the GUS
toners to whom he has given large
discount or long trade on used cars.
The sale OF one automobile does not
make any Inference in the aggregate
but ii can make lot Of mental and
financial trouble during its life with a
customer. There are automobile, deal
ers in the United States today who
would pay $500 or $500 more than
they received for their product if
they could take that automobile out
of the hands of certain customers.
The King Motor Car company, in
its determination to have a motor
car that gives maximum service, went
to a great deal Of expense to prove the
running efficiency OF its product. For
fourteen days and nights, with a stock
model under the sanction and super
vision of the American Automobile
association, an eight-cylinder King
was driven for l0850 miles on the
Sheepshead Bay Motor Speedway and
the highways Of Long Island. 1t was
not tuned up car, but a stock
model. The test was not conducted
because of its spectacular achieve
ment, but to prove to the King engi-
necrs just what to expect in two
weeks, which averaged two years of
running. 1t was found that by giving
nine minutes a week attention for
fuel, oil, water and grease, a King
car could be run for two years at
a very small service expense.

Crook Not Able to

Some nerve" was the consensus OF
opinion when number of excited on

man make "clean getaway" in

quiries were voiced as to what was
the matter with the little Overland

1t was quite evident from the nu-
merous Il saw him" expressions that
the golden crook" couldn't steer the
little Overland. The steering wheel
was loose and Just whirlcd around
without moving the wheels.
Just about the time the crowd

had reached the violent stage some
one laughed. That someone was the
owner Of the WHY'S Knight, which
proved conclusively that the System

Universal Tread Casing
Like MiCheIin Racers

The Michelin Tire company Of Mill
town, N, j., brought out a new tire a
little over a year ago, known as the
Universal Tread Casing. r. ]. Eisen-
hardt Of the Omaha Auto Supply COM
pany, local agent for Michelm tires,
says that this new tire, in general con-
struction and method of manufacture.
is similar in its full rounded shape and
extra thick tread to the Michelin, rae
ing type tire that won such high
repute in the days Of automobile road
racing.
The tread Of the Michelin Universal
Is made up Of series of letter MS"
the outer surfaces OF which are broad
and fat, thus presenting to the ground
avery long wearing tread surface. The
sides OF these letter ms" are not
rounded, but are square so that the
IN" tread remains clearly defined
until the tread itself is worn away.
The Michelin Universal is a casing
Of unusually sturdy construction as re-
CARDS the carcass. For example, these
tires are made up of from FIVE to eight
plies Of fabrics, depending on the size,
instead of from four to seven plies as
are generally considered sufficient.
Then there are two breaker strips in
stead OF one. which is said to add a
good deal to the durability of the tire,

Brake Problems
Confront Best
Auto Engineers

Many followers Of automobile con-
struction were somewhat disappointed
in the New York show this year be-
cause no real improvement in braking
equipment was shown in the great
majority Of cars. While it is true that
year after year other bctterments
have been incorporated, brakes have
received little attention.
The unequal braking effects are
completely eliminated by putting the
single service brake on the transmits
sion, the differential gears distribut-
ing all forces equally between the rear
wheels. At the same time the trans
mission brake is more powerful be-
cause Of the gearing. The gear ratio
OF the average car is about four to
one, so the brake drum revolves four
times faster than the rear wheels and
gives four times the leverage for the
braking effort. Thus only one quar-
ter as much force must be excited
to accomplish the same result. This
case Of operation appeals to the aver
age driver.
The larger allowable variation of
pressure, due. to the high speed OF the
drum. is also valuable feature. as it
practically eliminates the chance
locking of wheels with consequent
skidding dangers and excessive tire
wear. Lastly, the transmission brake
is not located in such an exposed
position as are rear wheel brakes and
is therefore less liable to pick up dirt
and grease. s.s ..
Two American manufacturers, one
Of whom is the Franklin Automobile
company, Syracuse, N. Y, use the
transmission service brake, with
marked success.

Omaha Automobile Club
Fosters Three New Bills

The club has submitted to the state
legislature a bill providing a peni-

aimed at curbing the market for
stolen cars.
A bill is prepared for the rcgistra-

Of Police Dunn recommended the bill
to Club Counsel Wells as measure
which will materially help in keeping
tab on transient cars stolen in other
states aud cities.
The club has another bill with peni-

ing an engine number OF an automo-
bile. AT present, Ohio and New Jer-
sey are the only states having this
measure.
