GERS on board a steamship which

on the trip across the Atlantic in
which the undersea boat was sunk.
The fight took place near the Irish

The lookout man notified the cap
tain that a small sailing vessel was
acting suspiciously. 1t was watched
carefully and soon a submarine was
seen to emerge from behind it. The
gunner on the steamship had his
weapon ready and directly the SUBJ
marine showed itself he fired. He
hit the undersea boat with his first
shell.
A second shot struck the coming

and waved white handkerchiefs. The
steamship wasted no time in the vi
cinity but left the saving of the Ger

RUsTPRooFING so SIMPLE
Facts About Process That FortIfies
Automobile Parts.

Although wide publicity has been given
the process of rustproofng. through
the adoption OF this process by
more than thirty prominent automobile
and accessory manufacturers in and
around Detroit. many people still have
no clear conception Of this latest inno-
walton in the motor car industry.
In reality 1t Is simple and economical
Iron or steel treated. by the process is
placed in chemicals which have an "af-
fnity" for the metals. The chemicals pene-
trate the metal in such a way that ex-
posure to the elements will not
cause corrosion. At the same time the
chemical change does not alter the quail
tiles of strength or toughness which the
metal possesses.
Unlike many other things which are
used to treat steel to fortify II against
corrosion. the Parker process does not
add what would be considered a coating
to the metal. Some interesting expert
ments have been made with steel arti-
cles rust-prOofed. One disk OF steel has
been exposed to the weather on the
window ledge OF Clark Parker's office
Tor two years. and is still immune from
deterioration.

C0MMENDs WOODEN WHEEL
Automobile Topics Discusses Con-
seryatIon Of Materials.

Kind words for the wooden wheel in
automobiles have brought to light the
enormous demand for lumber that
comes from the automobile industry.
There is a national organization of
lumber buyers in the automobile field,
which has established a standardized
series of lumber grades for this use,
recognized by the automobile trade,
though not specifically in the grad
ing rules of manufacturers associa-
tions.
OF the wooden wheel, Automobile
Topics says:
Timber is being used at a tremen-
dous rate in the millions OF wheels
annually built, and wheel makers
not only are using wood economically,
but they are making provision for the
future.
"On the other hand, the metal wheel
has also come forward with steady
strides, and the faot that progress
has been slow has had too much to
do with 1t making it very sure. How
ever good the metal wheel may be
and IL is certainly very good-it will
have difficulty. in displacing the
wood wheel, because the latter is SO
firmly established"

Bayles is at it again.

Bayles is at it again.
Every few months the progressive
head of the Record Auto. Company in
augurates one more drastic change in
the scheme of the company. But al
ways, these changes have one DOM
inant motive-the better to serve the
motorist.
Since the Record Company gave up
its big accessory and supply business
to confine its efforts to the sale of
Smith Form-a-Trucks and Saxon Cars,
Bayles has been cudgling his brain
fora newer, bigger service plan.
He has 1t.
CompeIs Regular Inspections.
Under the novel plan he has just
inaugurated, each Saxon owner re-
ceiyes a service book containing sixty
four half-hour coupons for service not
only from the Record Company, but
from any one of its subdealers in
Maryland and Virginia.
The only condition made in the con-
tract is that the owner use the cou-
pons on the basis of four hours per
month during its eight months OF
service life.
Each coupon is stamped with the
name of the month and the year in
which it must be used, and coupons
are not good IL presented in any 9TH
er month. The object of this plan is
to virtually compel the purchaser to
drive his car to the service station
nearest his home-or any Saxon serv-
ice station-for regular inspection
during its important early months OF
breaking in"
Examines All Parts.
Essentially the service inspection
includes examination of grease cups,
Tightening of spring bolts and clips,
draining crank case every 1000 miles,
oiling transmission, greasing univer-
sal joints, adjusting clutch, examine
tion of differential and steering gear,
alignment OF front wheels. Tightening
motor belts, adjusting valve tappetts,
adjusting carburetor, cleaning car
bureton screen, testing battery and
refilling with distilled water, draining
buretor screen, testing battery and
adjusting spark plugs, inspecting dis

orator, testing brakes, and taking

OPENINGS HOOD
OF CAR IMPORTANT
EouTes Keep Motor Tempera-
ture at Point Which Permits
Greatest Efficiency.

In the mind OF more than one man
who owns and drives his own motor
car. the slits cut in the sides of the
metal hood are purely a fad of the
automobile designer, and excuse their
existence by making a rakish looking
bonnet. Judging from externals, 1t
might seem that this is the case,
since in a number OF automobiles, the
hood openings, or louvres. either have
lost caste completely, or have been so
reduced in number as to lose any
hint OF Significance.
The louvre, nevertheless, is rather
an important factor in keeping the
permits the car to operate at its
greatest efficiency. The air that has
warmed in passing over the engine
finds its exit to the outer atmos-
phere through these openings, and in
this way opens a path for a constant
stream OF fresh, cool air above the
working parts.
The absence of louvres. or the pres
ence of only a limited number, means
a back pressure OF warm air on the
radiator fan. On the contrary, It fol-
lows that the greater the number
OF louvres the greater will be the vc-
locity of the unwarmed air flowing
under the bonnet. In the Haynes, for
instance, there are seventeen hood
openings which help keep the motor
In top-notch working condition.
In many parts OF the country,
where temperature conditions do not
require the utmost OF cooling sys-
TENS, attention to this detail OF COOL
ing system construction is a matter
OF little consequence. However, In
hot, dry regions, motor cars must
travel on their cooling systems as
well as on their fuel tanks, and every
Item that points the way to a better
radiator system deserves at least a
passing notice from the motorist.

Aircraft by Government.

The 20O-horsepower aircraft motor
which the Packard company has been
developing in the past two years is
about ready to take flight. The proc
ess OF installing the engine in spe-
cialIy constructed planes Is now 60
ing on rapidly, and the 1rst ascension
probably will be witnessed within a

Final work on the motor has been
hastened by developments in the in

The flying tests of the new engine
will be made at the Joy aviation field.
near Mt Clemens, Mich, where there
are unusual facilities for trials over
both land and water.

Packard aircraft division, says that
the machine will not he capable of

DISBROW TO RACE;
HIS WIFE RELENTS
"King of Dirt Track Drivers
Will Re-enter Speed Game
in Summer.

Louis Disbrow, "king of the dirt
track drivers" is to re-enter the rae
ing game. This announcement comes
after Disbrow had declared. he was
through with the sport, chiefly in def
erence to his bride.
Now Disbrow has succeeded in get
ting his wife to reverse her dictum,
and he will appear in various parts OF
the country for ten weeks next sum
mer. He will enter into competition
with teams t be put out by Alec
sloan and r. A. Hankinson. and will
defend his title as worlds dirt track
champion against all comers. At
each race Disbrow will post forfeit
of $1,000.
At all the races in which he enters
Disbrow will drive the Disbrow "spe-
cial," manufactured, by the CleVeiano
company, of which he is president.
This creation has attracted much at-
tention during the New York, BOSTON,
and Chicago automobile shows oy rea-
son Of its unique lines and special tea-
lures. Now. Disbrow is determined
that it shall attract even more atten-
ton because of its speed. Disbrow
claims for this car that it is the fast
est stock automobile in the world.
He himself has got ninety-fve miles
an hour out of IL, and he says eighty
five miles an hour is ''loafing" for this
speed product.
Disbrow's re-entry into the racing
game recalls the fact that in all
races he ever entered he invariably
redesigned and rebuilt his mounts. He
has been as noted an engineer as he
has been a driver. In this case the
car happens to be one that bears his
own name, and is of a type of which
close to $500 will be produced this
