Power That Is Wasted"

t(OmuAa40o hkO~1 S8t WI owners will do we'll to take to heart the repeated warnings that they have had to keep their tires inflated to the pressure suggested by the manufacture CT for that size. By so doing they not only minimize power losses. but con- serve the tires as well.
 WIND RESISTANCE
 Tho final factor of wind resistance. which accounts for the consumption of approximately Il per cent of the total power generated, whom tho car Is trav- cling at 30 miles DOT hour. Is not cas- fly controilnbic by the individual car owner unless ho makes up his mind to drive always with tho top down. Reduc- ton of this factor rests in the main with designer and manufactures. How important factor is this one of over coming wind resistance. may be judged from tho design of racing cars. The cigar shaped bodies of the modern speed creations arc not mere ornamen- tation they are designed with tho defl- nite Idea of giving the wind as little contact area as possible As . matter of fadt at tho extremely high speed now achieved on the track, most of the power of the engine is consumed in overcoming the enormous wind resis- tanos, If we seuid find way of eiim- mating this factor, there Is almost nc limit to the speed that might be got ten,
 From the suggestions have offered, I trust that the average car owner will carry away an understanding that to keep power losses at the lowest pos- sibie point, 1t Is necessary to keep the entire mechanism tuned up te maxi mum efficiency, Every time any part # the mechanism does not get proper ubricatioH, it wastes power. When the engine is run on too rich a mixture. wastes power. When the ignition ystem gets out of order, 1t wastes over.

 The 'Fordson'' tractor is the result of extensive trials and experiments con ducted by MT. Henry Ford, covering a period of many years. Before placing the tractor on the market, every detail has been thoroughly tried out under actual farming conditions in various parts of this country and abroad
 Experience has pointed to the small light tractor as being the one machine which will fill all varying conditions satisfactorily.
 In developing the Fordson' tractor the aim has been to produce small
