Has Advantage Over Plane.
The advantage that the Blimp has
over the seaplane is that it can stand
still in the air. If U-boat dives down
and lies out of sight on the bottom,
the Blimp sits over it until it decides
to move on or come to the surface.
If the submarin does not move, the
Blimp is just as well content, for in
the meantime the wireless has been at
work, and trawlers are coming up in
the course of an hour or two with the
necessary equipment to smoke Mister
Submarine out of his hole.
If the submarine rises before naval
help arrives. the Blimp tackles 1t
alone with bombs. If the submarine
tries to move Gy along the bottom
of the sea, the B1inp follows its
shadow until it comes sooner or later
to a shallow spot where it can be eff
fectively dealt with.
Hard for U-Boat to Escape.
Subject to the Blimp's fuel supply
and its duration power" in the air,
there is little chance of escape for i
U-boat once it has been sighted by one
of these handy little dirigibles. The

the great difficulty, for the seas
around England are large places and
the range of the individual Blimp is
comparatively small.
A larger type of Blimp is now being
used, known technically as the c. p.

crew and a greater supply of fuel and
is used for detecting mine fields as

Gears Must Run in
Good Lubricant

"A nerve-racking noise of shifting
gears is one of the worst faults an
automobile can have" says a local
garage man. 1T just spoils a car for
a woman.
"one of the first things a woman
likes about car is its easy-riding
qualities and one of the first things
she hates about it is the noise. She
wants to have a feeling of luxury
when she is riding and she gets this
in quiet, smooth-running car.
Gear shifts have a bad habit of
developing rasping. rafting noises. 1t
is one of the most troublesome
parts of the car in this respect. Gears
must run in good lubricant made
especially for the purpose. Ordinary
grease will not do. 1t must be some
thing that is tough and durable as
well as smooth. Graphite forms a
coating over the metal and not only
prevents metal-to- metal contact, but
serves as a cushion for the enmeshing
gears, deadening the noise. The Jo-
seph Dixon Company gets out
graphite lubricant for this very pur-
pose and it works like a charm in
eliminating the noise of shifting
gears"

PEERLESS SHOWS
ADVANCED IDEAS
Is Combination of Reserved
Power and Economy in
Gas Consumption

Now that public opinion has set
its seal on the motor car as an es-
sential factor in the development of
more man power by its ability to
save time and energy. the next step
to be considered by the manufactur-
ers is to build for combined power and
conservative gasoline USE" This was
the recent comment of C. F. Barner,
of the Keystone Motor Car Co.. dis
tributor of the Peerless Eight.
ITO further explain how this can
be done successfully" continued Mr..
Barner. "the Peerless two power
ranger furnishes the best example.
Here we have the ideal combination
in extreme economy at ordinary
speeds with a reserve force and
power when the occasion demands.
For 1t is car of contrasts. putting
to shame the performance of many
a lesser six; even many a four-cylin-
der car in the frugality of it's use of
fuel in its ''Loafng Range" -"
Here, for the ordinary every day
driving, the Peerless performs on half
rations. thrifty with fuel and withaI
so soft and agile that it adds new
delights to motoring.
Then let the emergency arise. the
call to swift, unhesitating action be
required. Then quick and true as
the shaft from the bow. it is away
like fash The vibrant response
is instant, like the warrior, scenting
the call to arms your car is trans
formed in a twinkling. 1t will gorge
itself on rapidly vanishing miles, and
easily scale the steepest grade with
out a falter.
This dual-personRlity fits aptly
into the spirit of the times. The
Peerless driver may be patriotic in
the conservation of gasoline without
having to sacrifice any efficiency when
occasion demands instant and quick
action. Considering the admirabl
performance at the present price. the
Peerless affords a striking example
of the motor car ideally adapted for
present day demands.
The workmanship throughout
make it unnecessary to have a car
each season. There is this fact to be
borne we'll in mind. many people are
purchasing cars now and driving them
through so they will be assured of
having their motor needs taken care

One-cylinder Cadillac
Helps Out Stalled Cars

Although the Cadillac Motor Car
Company has. not built one-cylinder
automobiles since the early days
1903 and 1904-it is not at all unusual
for it to hear from owners who are
still running these old cars.
One of the most interesting of such
letters lately received comes from a
man in Washington, who says he
uses his single-cylinder Cadillac in
his sales work among the grocery
jobbers in Washington and AleXan-
dria. Va. The car is a 1908 Model A
one of the first Cadillacs built. The
owner writes:
It am not mechanic. but I am a
jack k-of-all-trades' and I keep the
old box so IL will run up hill and
down hill and drag anybody out of a
rut that I meet in one, and there have
been some of them.
Some time ago I met a party on
Capitol Hill with an automobile car
rying four men, and they had broken
their crankshaft. I weigh 220 pounds
and I had my brother with me, who
weighs 265 pounds. I pulled this au-
tomobile with four men in it, while
my brother and I were in my old sin
gle-cylinder machine, and pulled the
whole business over to Anacostia
with no trouble whatever.
Il took these people out over Penn
sylvania avenue, and while people
cheered the old Cadillac. they joshed
the fellows sitting in the big ma
chine.

low who may be broken down on the
road"

Iition with motortrucks. Carefully
, prepared statistics. including the dis
tance to be covered, the cubic yards
OF road to be paved and the quantity
OF bricks necessary to- complete the
work. and the length of time allow
ed for the completion of their con-
tract, suggested the use of two-ton
trucks. with trailers, as likely to be
most efficient.
Among the motortrucks tested in
competition for this work was a Re-
public model "A two-ton truck, with
internal gear drive. The other trucks,
as mentioned above, represented va
rious forms of drives. All of the
trucks pulled three tons of brick UP
hill chosen as a part of the testing
ground, but all used low gear except
the internal gear driven Republic.
The Republic made its way easily up
the grade in second gear, in much
less time and with a very marked
reduction in the consumption of gas
oline.
But the really remarkable fea-
ture of the demonstration, as Mr..
Pannell of the Corapolis concern
himself points out. is the fact that
three of the trucks present had iden-
tically the same powered motor. and
the same gear reduction, as the Re-
public. To even the casual observer
this would plainly indicate the high
efficiency of the internal gear drive.
The internal gear drive used on all
Repub blic trucks, transmits 80 per
cent. of the motor power to the
wheels, which is from IL to .26. per
cent more than any other form of
drive

INTERNAL GEAR
DRIVE TESTS
Big Demonstration of Seven
Different Makes of Motor
Trucks; Various Drives

I. w. Dill, of the Pen Mar Auto
Company, local distributor of Re-
public Trucks, says: Ever since the
motortruck received its well-earned
recognition as one of the worlds
most efficient methods of transpor-
tation, there has been more or less
discussion as to which form of drive
has really proved itself superior. The
various methods of propulsion have
their enthusiastic hackers, among
the truck owners as well as manu-
facturers. and there are features of
each which, of course, commend
their use."
Advocates of the internal gear
drive, and there are legions of them,
have recently had their judgment
splendidly vindicated in a test that
included the leading makes of
trucks employing other forms of
drives.
Seven trucks were demonstrated
recently for the benefit of the Cor
apolis Livery and Transfer Com
pany, who were the favored bidders
on a contract to haul paving bricks
for new stretch of road running
out of Corapolis Heights, near Pitts
burgh. From previous experience
with work of a similar nature it was
decided to handle the whole propo-

WHERE BATTERY
"SHERLOCKS"
FALL SHORT
1t Is Impossible to Tell Condi-
ton of Battery by Looking
at 1t on the Outside

IF anybody looks at the outside
of your battery and tries to tell you
what's gong on inside you're safe
in setting him down as a faker." says
Mr. Wildermuth. president of the
Front Market Motor Supply Com
pany.
Not long ago a patron of one
of these battery fortune-tellers drove
up and told me that his plates were
all gone and that he needed a new
battery. I could have sold him one.
too-he was that certain.
1T seems that the son of one of
his neighbors had looked at the bat
terry and made a wild guess.
After I inspected the battery I
found that it wasa clear case of un-
dercharging caused by a loose con-
nection. I added distilled water,
charged the battery and had it
ready couple of days later in good
condition for service.
Another man who thought he
was a Sherick Holmes on batteries
fell down because he formed his
conclusion from performance instead
OF facts inside the battery. This
follow thought his plates were short
circuited-that the insulation had
called. The real trouble was that he
had let his machine lie idle, and
had failed to keep the charge up,
SO that the plates were so hard that
long charge was necessary.
The only way to be safe from
these diagnosis sharps is to disre-
gard their opinions entirely. If you
suspect there is any trouble the best
thing to do is to go straight to an
expert who knows how to make the
few simple. necessary battery tests.

"A Car Is as Good as
the Care Given Ii"

Much has been said. written and
con1ectured about the length of life
or the average car, but l doubt even
at this day whether there is anybody
that can tell just how long a car Will
last before it outlives its usefulness"
says Ephraim Brenner, general
manager of the NJ. Brenner & Sons
Motor Company. local distributors of
the Kissel Kar.

VINO does not give 1t the proper care

no reason why it can be abused and

And likewise because 1t is so solidly
and durably built-is no reason why
1t can be driven at a breakneck
rate of speed over rough roads, up

he states it: I cannot tell you about
the early life of this car but it has
the reputation of being the best car
