Club
OF New York Is
Now Under Way
Organization Chartere d
Some Time Ago Is Affilia-
led With New York State
Automobile Association

The formation of the Automobile
Club of New York. affiliated with the
New York State Automobile Associa-
ton, is now announced. The state
body now has 11S regular clubs in all
of the principal cities of the state,
numbering about two thousand mem
bers.
In this city. of more than $4,000
passenger car owners. hardly more than
5 per cent are members of clubs, and
of course doing nothing to help the
cause of favorable legislation and good
results. With the greater city helping
in the work which the state organiza-
,tion has been doing at the Capitol au-
tomobile owners would be assured of
fair legislation, just treatment by
courts and officials, cheaper insurance
and an improved system of touring in
formation.
The Automobile Club of New York
was duly chartered several months ago,
but the active work of organization
was deferred until the end of the war
and the consequent resumption of auto
mobile activities. In the interim, how
ever, a union was made with the
Safety First Society, and the activities
of that organization will be carried out
from the headquarters of the Automo-
bile Club of New York, at 81 East For
tieth Street, telephone Murray Hill
5549- The delay has also enabled the
promoters of the club to work out a
plan of mutual fire, collision and acct
dent insurance to cars, designed to save
members many thousands Of dollars
annually.
The state association, of which the
Automobile Club Of New York is part,
it is claimed has blocked many pieces
Of hostile and discriminatory legisla-
ton Chief among these claims is the
fight against an indemnity bond being
required of all owners which would
cost each owner from SIS to $50 a
year Then there was the effort to get
through bill for the compulsory use
of patented device for rear lights
and signalling, which was also defeat
ed by the action Of the state body
A bill was introduced to double the
present registration fees ON passenger
automobiles which was defeated through
the same source The menace has not
been killed however, 9or with the con-
SANITY growing registration and the
increasing desire for more revenue
there is an added movement toward
IKE leglsl alton The only way to fight
these things is through q strong or
ganization in the city, as well as N the
state at large
=, One of the features Of the new club,
1t is stated, will be the mutual in
surance plan, which aims to offer the
car owner substantial reduction In
rates and a chance to participate in
the dividends of the ganization. This
insurance is effected through a regu-
arly organized company, the first mu-
Uual automobile insurance company Ii
censed by the Insurance Department Of
the State of New York.
The Automobile Club of New York
OF which Fl. L. Reed is secretary, will
oe represented at the Hotel Mems Show
at the Grand Central Palace next week
ana those who attend will find much to
interest them in the literature which

Mitchell Announcement
OF Interest TO Many

The Mitchell Company's announce
mcnt, Back to Pre- War Prices which
appeared in last weeks papers, created
a sensation in motor car circles. and
as a result the Mitchell Motor Car Com
pany of New York has been over run
with orders from owners and agents.
says George H. Stowe, President of the
local company, in discussing the
announcement. "The advertisement
means just what it said, a reduction of
$3.50 on one model and 1910 on the
other, bringing the price down to what
IL was IN June, 1917. The Mitchell cars
at that time, power, size, finish and
value considered, were listed at verv
low prices.
The move was made possible by the
TACT that the steel and most of the ma
teflal we are using were bought at pre-
war prices. The company desires ia
go INTO big production again in order
TO utilize its enlarged factory facilities
NOW that 1t has dropped war work. /,
was decided that this was the best way
10 Keep the big factory going at fuj,
speed. For big production means lowe,
manufacturing costs and greater value
to the public.
"How long the company will be able
to maintain the low prices I don't know
III the prices Of material and labo,
remain as they are the price Of the car
Will have to go up, and when it goes ur

to get into their full swing to put the
show together. Every indication points
to a most highly successful show. The
coordinated work of the dealers in the
CITY,, plus the support of the majority
OF the car and accessory makers, in
clud'ng members Of the motor and &C.
cessory manufactures, makes it certain
that the show will go over in big style.
1t was in Madison Square Garden
that the first of all the automobile
shows in this city was held, in 1900,
They were run there until 1919, when
a switch was made to the Grand Cen
trail Palace. That building is now
temporarily an army base hospital.
The first week of the show, February
to 8, will be devoted to the display
of passenger cars. The week from
February 10 to Is is for commercial
vehicles. This will be the first com
mercial vehicle show in Manhattan in
seven years.

Four Points That
Control Prices
OF Automobiles
harmon Man Analyses Them
to Show Why Reduction
Cannot Well Come i'm His
Line Now or Even LaterO On

In discussing price change and motor
car manufacturing conditions r. B.
Van Alstyne, president Of the Marmon
Automobile Company, Inc, of New
York, says, There are four main
causes for reduction in the price of
motor cars at any time. These are {:
First, lowered price of materials and
labor; second, an oversupply Of cars
that must be sold at sacrifice; third
price set unduly high to be slashed
later for effect, and, fourth, a reduction
OF quality and materials entering the
construction of cars
when we analyze the position of the
Marmon 81 in relation to these laws
OF price reduction, we find that in the
hrst place materials and labor have
not been reduced in cost; that they arc
higher than ever, and materials fol
cars for our next series now begin
nlng manufacture must be bought al
top prices. Therefore, there can be NJ
price reduction of the Marmon 81 or
this account
SECONDLY, the Nordyke & Marmor
Company for the last eighteen months
has concentrated on the production OF
war material for the government, ant
consequently has no oversupply O.
motor cars, and, therefore, its price
cannot be reduced on this account.
"Third, if you figure the percentage
of price advance of the Marmon 81 anf
OF cars in its general class since wa,
times you find that we have advanced
less than any car in our field. We die
not advance when the War industries

Prophylaxis for
The Heart of the
Cooling System
How to Treat the Water
Pump, Which Must Keep
on Working to Reduce
the Engine Temperature
BY VIM. H. STEWART, JR.

President Stewart Automobile School
The water pump is the heart of the
cooling system. Hard at work, but
unseen and often unappreciated, it
labors increasingly. Sometimes it
fails, but more often it is blamed for
faults it does not possess. If the
system overheats the pump is blamed,
whereas the radiator may be clogged
CINE properly,
determine if it is working properly.
This may be done by one of two meth
DDS, although it is we'll to try both.
Remove the filler cap on top of radia-
tor while the engine is running and
see if the water is moving. 1t should
be seen returning via the pipe at the
top of the radiator ON most cars.
Other radiators do not show this
movement if they are filled too full.
Another method, preferred by some
drivers is to hold the back of the
hand against the bottom of the radia-
tor. If it is noticeably cold, the water
is not circulating. The top, on the
contrary, will be hotter than ever
The bottom of the radiator should be
distinctly warm because the pump
draws the water down faster than it
can ) be cooled. This may contradict
the impression many people have that
the radiator actually cools the water
1t merely radiates the surplus heat
that would do harm to the engine if
it were not carried away.
This may readily be demonstrated
the next time you drive. Get the en-

Here's More About
The Great KokOno

We published last week an item

tor and water jackets will be dis

fabrication is the next detail Of
care. Most pumps have o grease cup
which lubricates the bearing at the
shaft. On a car that runs all day this
should get one complete turn every
morning. Use a medium cup grease
that will squeeze, out readily. Where
the stuffing box leaks and is difficult
to pack you must rely on the grease
to prevent leakage until you have time
to install new packing. The pump shaft
connects with the interior of the pump
so the water can follow along it and
leak out. BY keeping this space filled
with grease the water is held back.
Some manufacturers provide no grease
pump, relying on the water as lubri-
cant. This may do very well for
light engine, but it is impossible with
a heavy one.
The stufing box will leak before
long, and this must be packed. It's
function is to keep the water from
leaking along the pump shaft. When
ever it wears enough the water drips
out. This may be stopped by tighten
ing the packing slightly-only enough
to stop the leak. After several months
IuSH PoChiuS Will di1 Oo uSSo u5 anu
so it must be replaced.
If you have no regular packing use
piece of sole cloth with cup grease
worked into it. Roll this up to the
size Of the opening. Poke 1t in with q
small screwdriver and tighten the nut
enough to stop leakage. Avoid too
great pressure, as 1t wears the pump
shaft, making it rough. The rough
shaft will wear the packing so fast
that it will be impossible to keep the
pump from leaking all the time.
If the cover Of the pump is removed
for any purpose the gasket will prob
ably be ruined and another one must
be cut. Lay piece of heavy wrapping
paper over the opening of the pump
and mark the outline with the fingers.
Dirty fingers are the best for this
purpose. The gasket may then be cut
out by hamme ring along this outline
or pair of scissors may be used. Both
sides Of the gasket should receive a
coating of shellac. and a similar coat
should be applied to the metal surfaces
Of the purap and cover where they come
together. The paper and the shellac
effectually prevent leakage from the
body Of the pump.

car. In his homo town the consensus
OF opinion Is that to Haynes belongs
the credit. A quarter Of a century
ago, Haynes, even then recognized
engineer, was manager of the Natural
Gas Company in Kokomo.
He worked out his ideas on paper,
had blue prints made and contracted
with the Riverside Machine Works,
owned and operated by the Apperson
boys, to build the machine. 1t is gem
orally understood in Kokomo that
Haynes would pay for materials and
the labor at 40 cents an hour. The
Riverside plant made saw gummers
and swedges at the time, and J. D.
Maxwell, who afterwards fathered the
Maxwell-Briscoe, the parent of the
present Maxwell car, was employed by
the Appersons.
"In the construction of the machine
the Appersons, being practical mechan-
les, made slight changes in Haynes's
plans, with his approval.
"The alteration over the first car
has a life lasting score of years. II
has been discussed in Indiana more
often than in any other section of the
country and has furnished publicity
material for both parties to the argu
ment. Who's Who in America the
National Cyclopadia of American Biog
raphy,' and other authorities, give full
credit to Haynes, but make only Incl
dental mention of the Appersons as
connected with Haynes, also detailing
the other engineering successes o.
Haynes, who has an international repu
tation as a metallurgist.
Following their success with The
first car, Haynes and Elmer Appersor
formed an association in 1895 to con
tinue the experiments. The bushes!
was incorporated as the Haynes-Ap
person Company. In 1902 Appersol
withdrew from the concern, but all thu
patents and devices remained tn,

Plainly Under the
Spell of sSCunga DIM

SpelI OF Cunga Din"
You may talk of roads so poor,
When you come back from tour
That the constant humping made
your back teeth rattle;
When it comes, though, to abusing,
You should see the roads we're using,
All that you have said is merely
childish prattle
It's no use complaining, swearing
AT the way they do repairing,
Or the lack of it's what I ought to
say,
All that's done to help the travel
Is to throw on sand and gravel
Which-it's ten to one-the rain will
wash away.
It's bump, bump, bump!
There's nothing to the road but one
big lump!
If you think you've seen the bad ones,
Come up here-we've got the sad ones,
For miles and miles it's rattle, slam
and thump!
Oft ponder in my heart
Why the cars don't fall apart,
It's fact that is not easy 10 explain;
They wear out in time, .'tis true,
But you'd think, as I now do,
That they'd give way in week be-
meath the strain.
Some day. though, the time will come
When our roads-yes, every one,
Will have to be rebuilt, they are so
poor;
Touring then, you will allow,
Will be ten times worse than now.
1t will be-. from first to last, one
grand detour.
Twill be thump. thump, thump!
Mud hole, ditch and rut we'll have to
jump!

Well give up and start abjuring,
No one wants week detouring in q
lump! H. S. OSBORNE.
