AUTOS ARE GREAT
TIME SAVERS FOR
MEN ON THEFARM

Time saving in travel back and
forth Is one Of the greatest Of the
many advantages Of the farmers car.
Recently farmer related an incident
which carried this point most impress
8ively.
This fellows hired man came to him
Just at noontIme, and reported that
the moving machine had been broken
on the last round before dinner. He
told what casting was broken and
remarked that its repair would neces-
state a trip to town that afternoon.
The farmer replied:
You get the number Of the casting
while I get out the automobile, and 1
will have the repairs here by the time
you are through with your dinner, IL
they are to be had in town" (Which
was eight miles away.)
The farmer got the new casting,
was back at home in less than an
hour from the time he started, and an
hour after dinner the machine was
back at work In the field.
As far back as January 1, 1918, there
were $50. $50 motor cars IN operation
in Minnesota, Iowa. Illinois, Wiscon-
sin. Nebraska, Missouri, North Da-
kota. South Dakota, and Oklahoma
all great farming States. OF this to-
tai one-hRlf OF the cars were owned
by farmers, and an even greater ratio
prevails today. In those nine States,
three years ago. the farmers were
spending over 100000 a day for new
cars.
They had begun to realize what the
motor car means TO civilization, and
how much more IL means to the far
mer than anyone else. How il means
material help. How IL means the end
OF rural monotony. How, in fact, an
entire change in the farmers outlook
on life, his environment. and HIS
health has been accomplished.

RANGERS
IN INDIANA DOING
THEIR BIT IN WAR

SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-"Gas-
olene Rangers" automobile owners
who form flying squadrons for en-
Urgency service in speeding the mo-
bilizing OF State troops for military
duty where needed. have been added
to the Liberty Guards" OF the State
OF Indiana, under the direction Of the
State Council Of Defense.
The Pacific Coast is to have its
own "Gasolene Rangers" on duty
when the Associated Advertising
Clubs OF the World hold their four
teenth annual convention July to IL
in this city. the Rangers" in this case
enlisting to take convention delegates
for observation trips along the IA
nous good roads OF the Pacific Coast
region.
It is found that the use Of "Gaso-
lene Rangers'-motor car flying
squadrons-in war service tends to
emphasize the value OF and the mill
tary need for better roads. The war
emergency advertises the utility OF
the automobile and the positive de-
mand for better roads.
When the Pacific coast "Gasolene
Rangers" advertise the good roads
and rich markets OF this section to
the advertising men Of the country
next July, 1t is reasonable to expect
that the whole good roads movement
throughout the country will receive
a decided impetus.

cry at the factory advises General
Sales Manager Mansfield. Many are
doing #, and with uniformly satisfac-
tory results. Incidentally they are
able to see the plant and meet the
men who build the car. This estab.
fishes a friendly relationship that
often counts in later years.
"A buyer taking delivery at the

TOD.C. AUTOCLUB

sIxty-two new members is the rec
ord OF the A A A District OF Col

balmy weather.
In these days Of restricted rail-

motor car owners rejoice at the
simultaneous arrival OF sprlngtime
and the opportunity to travel about
the country independent OF over
crowded trains, and in pure, health
building air.
With motor cars almost at a state
OF perfection, and good highways the
rule rather than the exception, the
car owner has to get only the run
ming directions. For these he de-

What factor Of safety is used in the

you give as the common cause?-A

The factor Of safety will vary be-
tween wide limits ranging from say
about nine to as high as fifty. A good
average Of all cars is about twenty

before II will not run as 1t did. II
don't always do that, but why should
1t change ?-ADAMS-
The first thing to do is lift the hood
and watch the interrupter housing or
distributor head (you do not say
whether battery or magnetic ignitiOn).
while some one moves the spark lever.
Usually excessive wear in the link
age causes this. but the trouble might

Ny motor runs fine at low speed and
up to about 80 miles an hour and
when it gets up that far it seems to
get so noisy and pull as II there
was sand in IL. It isn't so bad at
forty but then can't keep II at that
long enough and anyway I don't like
to drive so fast What makes 1t so
noisy at 35?-S. WOLF.
I do not know the make Of engine,
but usually in a case Of this kind we
say that the critical speed OF the
engine is reached. 1t often is called
a trough spot" You cannot elimin-
ate It, but you will find that going
slightly above or below that speed
eliminates the vibration. 1t Is caused
by shaft vibration.
A SAYS that it is possible to shift
gears even from high TO second with
out throwing out the clutch. B says
the clutch must be thrown out or
the gears will hit and maybe strip.
Who is right? Also is II possible to
have a hve-speed transmission?-
Amos 3.
It is possible to shift without dis.
engaging the clutch. II requires eX-
pert knowledge OF the particular car
being driven so that the gears can be
brought together when their speeds
are approximately correct.
1t is possible to have almost any
number of speeds il you want them,
II the transmission is made large
enough. Four speeds is the limit
right now.
Do they really use platinum for
breaker points and vibrators?
thought that this stuff was so dear
that il costs more than gold. Then
how can they sell the points so cheap?
Why would they use platinum any
way ?-DOUBTFUL.
They are not made Of platinum, but
often platinum tipped. Platinum is
ideal because Of all metals IL is least
affected by changes in temperature
and therefore will not feel the result
of continued arcing. Most points now
are Of an alloy steel.
