J. F. Bowman, vice president and gen eral manager of the Acason Motor Truck company of Detroit, an organization which is entering the national field on large scale, after three years of sue cessful manufacturing for Detroit and Michigan territory, believes that the sue cess of the local exhibit of motor trucks made throughout America is the strong est possible indication of demand for national motor truck exhibit at some central point. MT. Bowman has always been a strong contender for such an ex- hibit, and several years ago came out strongly in favor of such an event. Strong indorsement of this show plan is being given now on every side.

The increasing importance of the mo- tor truck as an agent in transportation has been shown strikingly at the auto mobile shows throughout the country this winter in the large number of truck ex- hibits. To date 22 of the important shows have allotted space to commercial vehicles. The great interest shown by the public in the motor truck exhibits in- dicates that the motor industry has en- tered utilitarian era, and that it has come to be looked upon as one of the cornerstones of present-day industry.

tuo Valuable Tips
In Case of Fire

By knowing in advance what you
should do in case your car catches
fire you are less likely to get in a
panic and lose valuable time in an
emergency. 1t is the part of wisdom
to have small extinguisher about
your car. 1t is invaluable in a gas
olene fire. Water is useless when gas
olene is blazing and merely tends to
spread the fire. In the absence of an
extinguisher dirt or sand may be used,
but great damage often results by get
ting grit in the mechanism. If you
have had to put out a fire with sand,
clean the working parts thoroughly
before you attempt to run again.
When fire has started from a back
fire cose the throttle and use the
starter to turn the motor over. This
tends to draw the flames into the
manifold, If fire has caught in the
drip pan put that out frfist and then
attend to the carburetor. Know
where the stopcock is located in your
gasolene line SO that you can turn
it off in case of emergency. The drip
pan should be kept free from accumu-
lations Of oil and grease to lessen the
danger from fire.

Making Tread Filters Stick.

A motorist told US recently that he
had lost faith in cut filters because
they did not stick. Going further
with him we found that he had simply
smeared a little cement in the cut,
pushed in a chunk of tread filler and
gone on his way.
You must first trim the edges of the
cut smooth with a sharp knife, rough
en- the rubber with emery paper, and
clean out thoroughly with gasolene
Apply heavy coat Of patching ce-
ment and while it is drying take what
you judge is little more than
enough cure cut to fill the hole and
knead it until soft. When the cement
is dry, press the cure cut firmly into
the hole and trim off with a moistened
knife until the repair is level with
the tread. If possible, let the repair
stand a few hours before using.
When cut in the tread gets the
weight of the car on it in contact with
the road it expands and grit and peb-
bles are forced into the cut. With each
revolution of the wheel this foreign
matter acts as wedge, forcing itself
between tread and fabric. Often this
causes complete tread separation and
the loss of an expensive casing. Open
cuts also let water through to rot the
fabric. So taking the trouble to fol-
low directions and cure tread cuts
properly will pay big diviends.--

Spark Lever Is
Little Understood
Economy of Operation Is Es-
pecially Dependent on This
Device, Which Few Driv-
ers Know Anything About
By Vim. II. Stewart, Tr.

One of the least understood levers
on the car is the spark control lever
Yet economy of operation, safety and
a number of other things depend upon
its proper use. The beginner retards
it as directed when starting, and moves
it to the advanced position after the
engine has started merely because he
has been told to do so. Such a thing
as control on the road, or even the rea-
sons for moving it at all, are completely
beyond his knowledge
Of course, he knows that this lever
controls, the spark which fires the
explosive mixture in the cylinders
But the matter Of advancing and re-
tarding the spark is so hazy in the
minds of most motorists that what fol-
lows will hardly be understood unless
preceded by few words of explana-
ton.
In order to have the engine run in
the right direction the spark must oc-
cur on the power stroke just as the
piston is starting down. If the spark
should occur while the piston is going
up it might stop the engine or start it
running backward. Evidently it is i'm
portant when starting the engine to
have the spark occur on the downward
stroke Of the piston. This is done by
retarding. If the spark lever is adj
vanced too far the explosion will occur
on the up stroke of the piston, forcing
the fly wheel backward and possibly
injuring the operator, if he is crankine
by hand, or breaking the starting mech
anism. With present systems using
self-starters there is no danger of q
broken wrist. but something must give
usually either the starter gears OF
sprocket, necessitatinc an extensive re-
pair.
1t is easy to retard the spark on a
strange car if you understand the pro
cedure. Remove the cover of the dis.
