EXTERIOR OF ENGINE
MUST BE KEPT CLEAN

Too frequent motorists are satisfied
to keep their engines free from car
bon. but do not attempt to keep the
exterior Of their power plants clean.
They should take a lesson from the
steam engineers who keep their ma
chinery bright and shiny in addition to
removing all dirt. A motor car engine
is exposed to more severe operating
conditions than steam engine. Dirt,
road dust and mud mix with oil, form
Ing gummy mass. When the mix
ture of oil and dirt reaches working
parts 1t has the effect of emery. 1t Is
detrimental to magnetic, distributor and
carburetor operation and also impairs
the efficiency of the cooling system of
the engine eventually.

MOTOR TRANSPORT fills NICHE THAT IS

the consignor and delivering them t,
the door of the consignee.
NETWORK OF MOTOR LINES.

These motor truck lines soon will
form vast network throughout the
United States, and they will live, not
because they are well financed. not be-
cause they are run by an enthusiast.
but because, on a competitive basis,
they will prove that they can carry
that traffic more quickly, more ex-
peditiously and more safely than any
other means of transportation. That
is the future of the inter-city truck
line in our transportation plans.
The Connecticut council of defense
adopted the English plan and estab-
lished throughout the entire state
fourteen return loads bureaus" The
business of the bureau in any city in
that state Is to know what the mer-
chants and manufacturers have in the
way Of loads that will radiate from
that city. That does not sound very
big when applied to one state, but
the same idea is rapidly coming into
use elsewhere.
1T is not only by inter-city service
that the motor truck can lessen the
pressure on the railroads. They can
do it as well by helping when freight
has reached its destination, in getting
it moved more rapidly from the sta
ton to the consignee.
In the state of Maryland a wonder
full system of rural express wagons Is
in operation. These rural wagons
start from the farms and run into
Baltimore or Washington. some of
them distance of 80 miles. In
the main they reach farms that are
not on the railroads or upon any in
terurban lines. In Washington or
Baltimore the truck picks up COM
modities, of the merchants of the city
and drops them at the gate of the
farmer. That is real round trip SER
vice.
Again, traffic over the waterways
very frequently must go to the boat
over the highway. Eventually we
will match up the waterways
system with the highway transporta-
ton system. Trucks will Take freight
from the station and carry it to the
boat. Other trucks will take it from
the boat and carry 1t to its destina-
ton.
A new type of transportation, car
rying every year millions of tons OF
freight, is coming into being, and il
has perhaps, the greatest possibilities
of any form of transportation.

Il Takes Goods From the Door
Of the Shipper to the Door Of
the Consignee Without Any
Change or Rehandling.
BY ROY D. CHAPLIN.

Chairman of the highway transport
tation committee Of the council of ma
ttonal defense.)
IN the last year there has come
to our view an entirely new picture
OF transportation in America. We are
standing at the threshold Of wonder
full new developments.
We have seen the railroads taken
over by the United States govern
sment. and simultaneously we have
seen the highways of the country
taken over by the people for the pur-
pose Of hauling goods which could
not be hauled during the period of
railroad congestion by the railroads
themselves. &E
In the whole history of transporta
stion, that of the highways has been
the patient drugde. Suddenly the
motor truck has come forward and
supplied for the highways what the
steam engine supplies for the rail-
roads, and the electric car supplies
for the Sinterurban systems-rapid
transit And this has brought about
many new conditions
These pertain not only to the road
bed itself, but also to the develop
ment of types of traffic which we have
not yet seen or pictured in our i'm
agination.
The motor transport fills a niche
that is not filled by any other means
Of haulage. 1t takes goods" from the
door of the shipper to the door of the
consignee without change or re-
handling.
SHORT HAUL r. r. TROUBLE.
Sometimes 1T takes a freight car
moving out of "a big terminal as much
time to arrive at it's destination,
which may be at distance Of only
80 or 40 miles, as it would take that
same car to travel hundreds of miles
If it were directed along the main
line of the railroad. This means that
the short haul movement is cluttering
that terminal and any railroad man
will say that today it is the terminal
that is the crux of our railroad con-
gestion. The getting of freight cars
through the terminal and back into
the main line solves that problem.
Daniel Willard recently said that
there was no serious problem moving
freight on the main line, and that the
terminal was always the neck Of the
bottle.
He said also, 81 see a new idea in
transportation which / could not see
before l came to Washington. I see
transportation in the future, that is,
traffic. given to that means of trans
portation which can best and most
economically and most quickly carry
1t. I recognize the utility of the
motor truck and it's particular field.
1t can carry a portion of that traffic.
Go ahead and see what you can do to
put that traffic on the highways
which legitimately belongs on the
highways"
Today most of our large cities, es-
pecially in the Eastern zone, where
traffic congestion is the worst have
established inter-city truck lines,
plying back and forth on a regular
schedule, carrying goods at a more
rapid rate than either the railroads or
express lines, and in many instances
taking them right from the door of

AVOIDING A SKID,

When experienced motorists feel the
rear wheels of their cars skidding side
ways, they don't apply the brakes or
open the throttle. They throw off the
clutch and turn the front wheels the
way the car is skidding, letting the
driving kheels turn as slowly as pos
sible when driving on wet road with
out nom skin chains, it is advisable to
keep one pair Of wheels on rough pave
ment or dirt wherever possible.

require drop Of oil occasionally. and
this oil must be OF the very finest
grade, which Will not gum. The error
often made IL in using too much OIL,
SO that q great deal of 1t gets between
the breaker points. The points them
selves do not require lubricant; 1t Is
the other wearing parts of the breaker
mechanism which need It. If the driver
could only realize the Importance OF
using good oil for the magnetic great
deal of money would be saved. Tne
magnetic bearings usually are Of the
ball type, and very rapid deterioration
occurs IL poor grade of oil is used.
This deterioration is both mechanical
and electrical.
A magnetic does not require inspec-
ton more than once a month. provid-
ing 1t Is giving service. At this In
spection the oiling should be gone over
and the magnetic holding down means
should be inspected to make sure that
the magnetic does not rock on its base.
INSPECT SYSTEM REGULARLY.
II the car owner could be made to
realize the Importance of keeping the
magnetic in fit condition he would
readily understand the saving in money
which could be made by having the
magnetic gone over periodically. This
inspection should include a thorough
cleaning of the distributor and the dis
tributor parts, the checking up of in
terrupter point adjustment and clean
ing them with kerosene. The points
should separate between .015 and ~
inch. II these points are uneven. that
is, not parallel. or II they appear to be
worn unduly, they should be filed flat
with a special magnetic file or jew
eler's file. All cables and wires should
be gone over very carefully for insula-
ton breaks and to see that terminal
fastenings are right. Cheap cables are
likely to develop small cracks, and
these permit leakage Of current to
parts which the wires touch.
If on the road the engine suddenly
goes dead and 1t Is traced to ignition
trouble, the first thing to do is to check
up all wiring to see that no wires have
broken from their terminals. The best
method of tracing is to start at the
plugs and work toward the switch. The
distributor should be the first point OF
attack, and II this is found to be clean
and the arm making good contact the
interrupter points should be suspected
A FEW TROUBLE SOURCES.
1t is so rare that magnetic actuall!
fails to give spark even to mention
any further possible causes of the in
strument going dead. Misfiring, how
ever. may be caused by dirty sparl
plugs, plugs with wide or narrow gaps
poor contacts at the plugs, loose
| ground wire, loose distributor cable
broken cable, insulation, breaker points
poorly adjusted, dirty or uneven. /
the misfiring is especially noticeable a
low speeds and all these things are In
spected, one might suspect that thu
magnets were weak. If the breaker
points wear down very rapidly, due tt
arcing, the trouble is probably caused
by the condenser. 1t Is hardly the worl
of the car owner to go so deeply int
this type of ignition trouble, for wher
anything goes wrong in the condenser
the matter should be investigated b!
magnetic expert. The same applies
to coil trouble especially IL an outside
coil is used.-Salt Lake Tribune.
