The Washington Automotve Trade Association de-
eded at recent meeting not to let Washington be con-
pcuous by its absence from the list of cities holding auto
mobile exhibitions
Temporarily checked by the lack of suitable hall or
building for centralized display Of cars they neverthe
less smiled at the handicap and decided on "Open-
house Week., and rest assured it will be "sOme
show"
The Automotive Trade Association is composed of
dealers in passenger and commercial cars accessories and
all allied trades including garages repair shops ETC.
With commendabe and determined spirit they have
started a drive for new members
Every person in any way connected with this, the
most important industry in the country today should join
the association It bettement of their own bust
ness, coordination of interests and vast influence in
creating better, greater Washington
All such movements looking to the correlation of bust
ness interests bring Washington just much nearer her
ongdesred and long gdenied goal-freedor and equal
rights with other more favored cities
The power for good vested in strong automotive as
socatlon is unlimited It much that is beneficial to
every resident of the National Capital Herein lies at
least betermen of the traffic situation There must of
necessity result better Standardization and regulation of
trade dealings of inestmabe benefit to buyer and seller
alike, be it cars accessories, repairs
Boost and boost hard to make the Automotive Asso-
citation power in Washington; it will repay every effort
ten-fold

SEEK NEW PROCESS
TO EXTRACT GAS

NEW YORK, Feb. 15-Since the
automotive industries depend for ex-
istence upon an adequate supply of
volatile liquid fuek the prospect of
demand much greater than the supply
is engaging the attention Of en-
gineers and Others who realize that
upon the conservation Of liquid fuel
depends in large part the future well
fare OF the American nation. At the
instigation Of DR.. Joseph z. Pogue,
Of the Bureau OF Oil Conservation,
U. s. Fuel Administration, the Society
OF Automotive Engineers in conven-
tion here today, devoted its Keynote
session to discussions OF the fuel
problem.
DR.. David White, chief geoloEist
OF the, U. S. Geological Survey, pre-
sented an authoritative statement Of
American petroleum resources, the re-
suit Of elaborate Investigations into
the quantities Of oil used and still
available in the various producing
districts Of this country.
DR.. White declared the rate OF oil
consumption, which already exceeds
one-third billion barrels Of forty-two
gallons each yearly, is Increasing at
a rapid rate, while the quantity avail
able under ground is continually de-
creasing. The need for practicing
greater economy in the use Of liquid
fuel is daily becoming more apparent
To satisfy public interest, the Gov
ernment has had four estimates made
OF the oil resources Of the United
States. The latest Of these places
the oil available in the ground at the
end Of 1918 at 6,T4O,000, 900 barrels.
The total output Of oil in the United
States in 1917 was 335,3l5. .601 barrels.
and in 1918 probably 345,5OO, 900 bar
Iels. The total production from 1858
10 date is estimated at 4,59S, ,144,00O
barrels. The present average Gaso-
lene extraction is at the rate Of about
20 per cent.
To supply our demand in 1918, 2T,-
COG. 900 barrels had to be taken from
storage, and in addition 81 100000 bar
rels were imported from Mexico. The
deficiency in current production dur
ing 1918 was therefore $4,000, 900 bar
rels. A continuation Of the consump-
ton curve indicates for 1919 a con-
sumption beyond the 400 million mark
that processes may be developed

AUTOMOBILE
SECTION
OVER USE OF HORN
PROVES THE NOVICE

II is a feet that more accidents
are produced by vehicles crossing in
front Of others than in any other
manner, says the American Motorist-
In many OF the larger cities all south
and north bound traffic is given the
right Of way over traffic moving
east and west This rule does lot
exist in smaller communities and DOT
outside Of city limits.
Excessive sounding OF the horn IS
usually proof that the motorist Is a
novice. Not infrequently. IS IA the
presence OF q frightened horse, II
may be better not to sound 'hs horn
at all. While no accepted rules exist
as to the meaning or horn blasts il
is well to assume that prolonged
honking indicates that the ear he
hind is going to pass ahead anl de-
sires a clear road.
Any indication that il might rot
be absolutely safe to proceed SHOULD
be occasion for an immediate g:Gp.
Likewise, IL there should he any
doubt in the operators mind as to
which way an approaching vehicle IS
about to turn, the car should be
brought to q standstill.
There are road hogs amoug horse
users and motorists. The former are
particularly apt to abuse the legal
provision still existing in some To-
calities according to which a motor
vehicle must come to a stop rs soon
as the driver OF a horse-drawn We
hicle holds up his hand. Still il T.
not wise to disobey this regulation or
law, and the fact that timid drivers
Of horses derive some assurance from
this rule may be considered very
good reason for the motorist to al
here TO IL as much as possible.

BAD ROADS COSTLY.

The Congressional report OF 1914
placed the economic loss to the Uni
ted States through poor roads at an
annual figure Of S504, 600 900 for
transportation costs alone. The heavy
increase in tonnage since that time
probably makes the loss today close
TO 81, ,OO0, 600, 900 a year.

An auto salesman at the New York
show had a prospect in hand brought
to him by a person who assured him
she was a sure buyer. He tried AL
the regular well-known tactics, and
described the car fully, from tail
light to nameplate, without seeming
to make much headway. He eX.
hausted all the technical terms within
his knowledge without avail, until at
last, in desperation, he said:
Nov, madam, you know that ii iF
a big advantage to have, as this car
has, the carburetor under the hood
and right close to the engine; then
besides that, you will notice that the
rims OF the wheels revolve around
the hub"
This seemed to be the convincing
argument, and she said she would
take the car.

Are you familiar with the different

can tell one from the other? En-
gine knocks fall naturally into four
classes-spark, overheating, carbon,
and loose or worn parts.
Spark knock is due to spark being
advanced too far, particularly when
going up a hill. The engine slows
down and the explosion comes before
dead center, causing a knock. II spark
Is retarded the knock disappears.
Overheating causes a knock by mr.
ing the gas before the piston reaches
upper dead center on the compression
stroke. The exploding gas expanding
meets the piston going up and makes
a knock. Overheating may be noted
by steam at radiator.
Carbon knock is caused by red-hot
carbon In cylinder head setting fire to
the mixture when the gas has been
compressed to a certain point. Re-
move a spark plug and look in cylin-
ders for presence OF carbon.

Q. What causes the same connecting rod
bearing to burn out twice in succession? e?
G. F. w.
A-The trouble is lack of nil for
that particular connecting rod DeAr-
ing. An oiling system consists of
pump supply pipes and sight feed
instrument. The crank case has two
parts-the lower, known as the res
eryoir; the upper. the crank y CON
Meeting rod troughs. The oil is lifs-
ed from the reservoir by the pump,
and forced through the supply pipe,
which is located in the engine base,
having holes in the pipe to repre- sent
the number OF cylinders. The oil
flows from these holes into eacn con-
Meeting rod trough. The connecting
rod bearing dips into this OIL ihus
oiling itself and splashing oil On pis-
ton, wrist pins, and other rGIts.
When one or more OF the holes in
the. supply pipe become plugged
from any cause, the flow is stopped,
resulting in a loose or burned out
bearing.
Caution-Whenever the crank case
is removed, see to it that the sup
ply pipes are also taken out and
cleaned and the holes cleared .)f any
sediment.
The Washington times., 1919-02-15

Q. What is the cause of gasoline getting
into the crank case. GASOLINE
A.-One or more cylinders missing
is the cause. There are many causes
for missing cylinders; the most COM
mon is a faulty. spark plug. The
causes can be chronicled about as
follows: Plug points not adjusted
properly. loose electrodes, cracked
porcelain or insulator, loose or
broken terminals or wires, spark
plug cables shorting before reaching
plugs, especially where wires are
carried through a metal conduit; seq
ments in distributors, dirty or short
circuiting, breaker points in bah con-
dition, breaker can worn, weak
spark, crossed wires to plug and ig-
milton. not properly timed mixture
too rich or two lean. water IN gas
local OLD, air leaks, lack OF oil, slot
in rings lined up, rings in need Of
replacing, valves not sealing proper
ly, misfit piston and rings. scored
cylinders, no gasket under spark
plug, pet cock leaks, cylinder head
gasket bad, and valves net timed
properly, You see the causes are
many and varied.
The theory. as we'll as the pratt
cal side, is this: Fuel is constantly
being taken into the cylinder on the
suction stroke of the piston, then
compressed; and If IT is not fixed, It
passes the piston rings and drops
into the crank case. This AN be
caused by one days running 2 ono
cylinder is missing regularly, and IL
changes what was once lUbIlcatins
oil TO gasoiene.
II possible. never run a motor that
misses firing, but find the cause and
remedy IL at once, or serious trunbIe
will result from lack OF proper and
clean lubrcating oil

Q. have q new car and have had 70
be toWed IN twice In a week on account
OF not being able to use the starter or
crank, as the engine would not turn over.
Can you tell me the trouble?
TOwED IN.
A-There are several reasons for
such trouble The starter is not
lined up properly or the starter gear
does not mesh with the teeth On fly
wheel as It should, causing starter
gear to stick and lock the lily wheel.
other causes are heavy oil on start
er shaft, twisted starter spring, or
flange on starter gear loose or
broken.
Temporary relief can be obtained
by placing the speed change lever in
third, ignition off. Then rock the
car back and forth. and very rften
the starter gear can be forced loose.

on waybills and other papers; cars or
boat compartments in which they are
moved must be cleaned and disinfect-
ed under bureau regulations; and the
cattle must not be transported in cars
or boat compartments containing
healthy cattle or hogs unless the latter
are for immediate slaughter.
Pure-bred cattle which have been
shipped interstate for breeding or feed
ing purposes, and which have reacted
to the tuberculin test subsequent to
such shipment, may be reshipped in
terstate upon proper certificate for
purposes other than slaughter, pro
vided they are consigned to the orig
inal owner at the same point Of
origin; the reshipment must be made
within four months of the original
shipment; they shall not be shipped TO
any state or territory that does not
provide for quarantine of tubercular
cattle; they cannot again be shipped
Interstate except for immediate
slaughter under government inspec-
ton; requirements of Identification
and disinfection must be observed.
Briefly, heifers may be moved inter
state for feeding or grazing on certi-
fication that they will not be used for
other purposes, and cows may be
shipped interstate from public stock
yards on affidavit to the same effect.
Bulls may be shipped from public
stock yards for feeding provided the
owner or shipper makes affidavit that
they are for feeding only, and the state
to which they are shipped provides for
quarantine.
Certificate With Accredited Cattle.
Cattle from a herd officially ac-
credited as free from tuberculosis may
be shipped interstate If accompanied
by official certificates showing they are
from such herd.
Tuberculin tests for the detection of
tuberculosis may be made by veteri-
nary inspectors of the bureau of ami
NAL industry at public stock yards or
regular bureau stations or by vet
erinarian of the state of origin, au-
thorized by the state and approved by
the bureau of animal industry.

MANURE IN CROP ROTATIONS
Increased Yields Secured In Expert.
ments at West Virginia and Ohio
Experiment Stations.

The agricultural value Of manure
usually is greater than the plant-food
value. For example, the application
of 121h tons of manure year for 10
years at the West Virginia expert.
ment station gave increased crop
yields valued at $40 an acre year, or
$3.12 ton for the manure used. Dur
ing period of ten years the Ohio ex-
pertinent station has obtained an in
crease of crops valued at $469 ton
for the manure used. The application
was made at the rate Of eight tons of
manure an acre during fiye-year ro-
tation of corn, wheat, oats, clover and
timothy. Two applications Of four tons
each were made, one for corn and one
for clover. Manure used in connection
with continuous grain cropping did not
maintain the yields, but when used in
connection with crop rotation the
yields of all crops were increased.
