utomobilists-that of using kerosene
for fuel. The problem of exploding
kerosene instead of gasoline in an in
ternal-combustion automobile is as old
as the automobile. But 1t has been so
that it has never had Sc.
ricus consideration by first-class en-
gineers, and now has been utterly
abandoned by all except few cranks.
And this even in the face of the con.
stantly increasing price of gasoline.
The Stanley burner, however, burns
kerosene, which usually sells for about
one-third to one-half the price of gaso-
line. At twelve miles to the gallon,
the fuel expense would be
equal to twenty-four to thirty.six
miles per gallon. Kerosene fuel helps
to make the Stanley the safest car in
the world.
The time necessary to get up steam
used to amount to about ten minutes.
Now, with separate fuel spstem to
feed it, the pilot light will hold for
three or four days without refilitng.
This keeps up steam over night, and
will keep the water hot for three or
four days, so that the car is always

more and more the steam car is
coming to the 'front.'" said George
Wells, proprietor of the Royal Hawaii
an Garage, today in discussing the au'
tomobile situation. The Stanley mas
made good. There is no longer any
question about that fact, and before
long l expect to see large number OF
these cars in Honolulu
Mr.. Wells is confident that business
will continue to improve in the auto
mobile line, and was very much
pleased to receive new shipment OF
cars on one of the steamers this
week. He said today that plans were
going along in excellent shape for the
new building and expected to be III
the new quarters by Dec. Is.
Returning to his talk on the Stanley
car, which has made an impression To-
cally, he said:
Steam has been the prime motive
power for over hundred years. 1t is
a simply problem to adapt and arrange
it for automobile use. Our present car
is composed of but thirty-two moving
parts, which number includes front
and rear wheels, steering gear and ev.
erything moving on the car, as we'll
as the power plant. This is about the
number of parts contained in a first
class self-starter We use no clutches,
nor gear-shifts, nor fly wheels, nor
carbureters, nor magnetos, nor spark
plugs, nor timers, nor distributors, nor
self-starters, nor any Of the marvel
ously ingenious complications which
inventors have added in order to
overcome the difficulties inherent in
the internal-explosive engine and
adapt it to a use for which it is not
normally fitted. "
ITO put this into conventional gas
car language, there is no gear-shift
lever and no clutch-pedal. A slight
range of movement, not exceeding
four inches, of the throttle lever sub
imposed on the steering wheel, con-
trolls the admission of steam to the
cylinders. The volume of steam thus
admitted is the sole governing factor
in the speed and power Of the car. A
light touch, and the car starts silently
and gently like a yacht leaving it's
mornings This minimum speed may
be maintained all day if desired, with
no shaking or rafting, no overheating
or stalling, and above all without the
slightest mental anxiety or attention.

GUS SCHUMAN ON
WAY TO CENTERS
OF AUTO TRADE

Gus Schuman, head of the Schuman
Carriage Company left for the main
land on Wednesday. Just before he
left Mr.. Schuman said that he was
going to make every effort to arrange
for more cars. He felt confident that
the conditions would be favorable, and
predicted that the Schuman Carriage
Company would have more cars to
show their customers upon his return.
Mr. Schuman has made a number OF
trips to the mainland, and has been
keeping in close touch with the trans
portation situation. His company has
been fortunate in securing a number OF
cars recently, and with added efforts
upon the part of the president of the
company, the heads of departments are
viewing at the outlook favorably.

Or it may be increased to maximum,
by nothing more than another light
touch of the throttle. s-
This is what makes the Stanley the
safest car in the world. In crowded
city traffic, in treacherous defiles, or
in unknown country travel, the driver
needs every bit of his mentality to
master the road conditions. With the
Stanley car he can concentrate solely
in this, for he knows that the car will
do precisely what he wants, precisely
when he wants it. #-...-.

have enjoyed a unique privilege among

THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT

valve filters are out of adjustment,
power is being lost without its being
noticed. Wait until motor cools and
adjust them to one-sixty fourth of an
inch. If they are too wide open they
become noisy; if too far closed the
motor loses compression. In both
cases there is a serious loss of power.
Disconnect battery and magnetic
wires and take them with you II these
are too long cut pieces out of them,
making them too short to reach the
proper terminals. Run them to
separate binding posts on the dash
and runshort lengths of wire from
these bindings posts to the regular
posts. These short lengths may be
taken with you. but inc th1el can
connect across by using one of the
timer wires, causing one cylinder to
miss explosion-a matter Of no great
moment to him.
Some drivers favor a switch in the
tool box. one controlling both battery
and magnetic circuit-a "double-poie'
switch as it is called. But If the thief
has time to investigate he will see
these wires leading to the tool box
and put other wires in place of them.
A similar idea is embodied in a lock
switch which carries the primary
wires to switch on the dash which
can be locked with a Yale key. This
lis good enough if the hood is kept
locked. But as it rarely is. the thief
simply removes the wires from the
back and twists them together and
the car goes with him.

1t is impossible to keep the hands
clean when making repairs on the ma
chine.
A simple economical way in which
to cleanse them is as follows: Mix a
small quantity of sawdust and lubri.
eating oil together and rub thoroughly
into the pores of the skin.
The oil should then be removed by
wiping the hands with a cloth which
has been saturated with little gaso-
line or kerosene.
This should be followed by the ordi-
nary wash with soap and water.
It is poor practise to attempt to re-
move the dirt from the hands by bath.
ing them in gasoline, as this will
cause some of the matter to become
deeply imbedded in the skin.
When clutch starts slipping badly
il is needless to race the engine in the
hope that the car will move faster.
Rather operate the engine slowly with
a slight change of speed. so as to at
tempt to cause the flywheel to carry
the clutch around. When the engine
is. raced it makes matters worse all
around, for the clutch does not hold
and there is possibility of burning 1t
lp altogether.
