SAYS BEST POINT
OF AUTO IS start"
j. Edward sehipper Gives some Timely
Advice About Cars, Upkeer
and Care.

In a recent address before the Cleve-
land section. Society of Automotive
Engineers. j. Edward schipper gave
some interesting facts concerning
what Is being required of an automo-
bile today.
One of the most pertinent points"
said Mr.. Schipper, lis the cars abil-
ity to start quickly and operate
smoothly under all sorts of weather
conditions. In cold weather motorists
too often distribute a half pint or
more of gasoline into the cylinders
before ignition starts. much of which
leaks past the pistons into the crank
case and destroys the iubricating
qualities Of the oil Raw gasoline in
the cylinders also tends to cause spark
plug fouling and the uneven running
that results
That the requirements of complete
carburetion under all weather condi-
lions are being met is shown by a
statement of Ralph Murphy. chief en-
gineer of the Franklin Automobile
company. which calls attention to the
way this point is cared for in the
Franklin car Of today. Inability to
start in cold weather" says Mr. Muir
ply, "is due primarily to the low VIOLA
tility of the gasoline at such times.
To increase the volatility heat must
be applied so that tho gasoline will
be more completely broken UP into
explosive units.

means of an electric primer which

shows altogether to much favoritism
to the horse, in this mans opinion.
Having practically yanquished the
horse in the field of passenger trans
portation. the automobile is now TAX
ing new line of attack by making a
strong bid for supremacy in the held
of truck transportation.
A statistician Of the United States
Tire company estimates that nearly a
million and a half truck tires are
now in use on commercial vehicles in
this country The trucks in use have
already supplanted more than mill
lion horses, and 1t is safe to cay that
when the war is over and there Is a
surplusage of motive power, the auto
trucks will stay and the horses will
go. The same may be said of the
farm tractors which appear to be de-
stined for an important place on the
farm at the expense of the horse.
The motor truck easily demon
strates it's superiority over the horse
drawn truck in the present national
emergency in which the autom obile
has been called on to help out the
railroads. While motor truck trans
portation has owed its very existence
TO the solid rubber tire, the truck
has shown it's best result in the pres
ent emergency when equipped with

Tire experts are OF the opinion that
the solid tire will play an important
| part in motor truck transportation
for years TO come. but the develop
ments in the pneumatic tire for this
class 81 work make it appear that
the air tire will steadily displace the
solid tire. except for use on trucks
of four tons and larger.
In the foregoing, nothing has been
said about the automobiles struggle
for supremacy with the mule. With
his usal obstinacy the mule refuses
to get to one side. and continues
to show an Increase each year in this
country of from 5000 to 100000.

LATEST SPORT IS
HUNTING SUBS OF
ENEMY BY PLANES

London.-A sea sport which has
arisen out of the war-hunting Ger
man submarines by airship-is de-
scribed in the Times. The writer's
story concludes with telling how
the crew of the U-boat apparently
preferred death to being captured
One of the crew of an airship
spotted a submarine lying on the
bed of the ocean in fairly shallow
water
The wireless spanked" reads
the account in a local newspaper
and soon away on the horizon
there appeared a little destroyer,
followed far astern by four squat
trawlers, all racing toward the
spot above which the airship
cruised around.
THE destroyer came up first, of
course, and it was not long before,
guided by wireless instructions,
her guns were trained in readiness
to greet the unsuspecting U-boat
should it bob to the surface. 1t
seemed ages to the impatient crew
before the trawlers arrived, but
things moved rapidly once they
were at the scene of action, for they
knew their job of old.
Working in pairs they approach
ed their victim from opposite direc
lions, steaming toward each other.
Between each pair a strong sweep
was stretched and allowed to hang
in a huge loop that it might ira
verse the scaled. The vessels met
and crossed each others tracks i'm
above the doomed craft.
The sweeps of either pair engaged
the U-boat fore and aft simultane-
ously and held her in a gigantic
cradle.
Thus far the German boat had
shown no sign of alarm although
those with her must have heard the
churning of the trawlerS' screws.
Now she suddenly seemed to awake
to the menace that threatened her"
The article goes on to describe the
fate of the submarine. "She wrig-
