DEl[ERN|1I 1lA- ElR -0lDCUSTOMER
EVIDENTLY QUALITIES SPRESs AGENT

The Gordon Motor Company, Boise
distributors of Briscoe cars, say they
have a colleague down in California
who is some press agent, and the evil
dence is a story about customer of
the latter who Is an enthusiastic Bris-
coe driver at the tough old age of 104.
Here is the story in full as the CAL
ifornia dealer eased it into print in a
San Francisco paper:
In the opinion of Daniel McClane.
104-year-old youth of Burlingame,
the automobile has been of more ben
eft to many than any other single
agency. McClane attributes his lon
geyity to the fact that he has always
kept out in the open air. Leaving
Scotland In his early youth, he sailed
the seven seas for more than twenty
years In windjammer, visiting every
quarter OF the globe. The almost per-
feet climate OF the peninsula induced
McClane to make California his home.
The air Is so mild that 1t is possible
for him to stay out in the open air all
the year round. During a part of the
year McClane still works in his gold
mine In Lassen county. For the rest
of the year he takes his ease in Bur-
lingame. and relies on his Briscoe to
hccp fiIiIi out III THO IT0Sn air.
McClane typifies progress; he keeps
abreast of the times. When past GO
years Of age, he married a compare
lively young woman, and was the
father of eleven children. His one
hundredth birthday was the occasion
OF a plunge in the cold waters OF San
Francisco bay. He celebrated his one
hundredth and fourth birthday by
learning to drive an automobile A
Briscoe touring car was used for the
occasion because of it's ease of hand :
ling, and McClane experienced no diff
ficulty in mastering the engineering
principles involved. Although an en-
thusiastic motorist, McClane had new
er attempted to drive car himself
He Is enthusiastic over the perform
ance of the car and says that 1t is the
most comfortable light car he has ev-
er ridden,in
The airplane was mentioned to him
as possible means of transporting
him back to Scotland for visit. Nc
Clane admits that while the automobile
fills his present day needs, he is anx-
ious to keep abreast of the times and
says that within the next thirty OF
forty years he will be able. to make
the trip to Scotland by air. In his dry
| way, he stated that it is about eighty
years since he last visited his native
home

LAWS TO PROMOTE
INSTEAD OF HINDER
TRUCK TRANSPORTS
New York Commissioner Writes
War Department Urging Uni
form Legislation for High
way Express Development.

Fear that ill-considered motor truck
legislation of the different states will
interfere with the development Of ec-
onomical highway transportation and
OF motor truck express service in in
ter-state commerce has led the New
York State Commissioner of High,
ways, Frederick s. Greene, to write to
Colonel Sheriff. of the United States
War Department, calling attention to
the necessity of having the states of
the union enact uniform traffic legis-
lation.
PREPARES FOR NEW ERA.
The commissioner points out that
New York state is preparing for the
motor express era and is building con-
crete roads as part of it's program
in promoting motor truck lines. The
state division of roads and markets is
much interested in the developments
of such truck operation as an impor-
tart factor in promoting agricultural
production and reducing prices of farm
products in the cities. ut will he the
duty Of the next legislature" says
Greene, to enact laws that will promote
transportation development"
In his letter to the war department
the commissioner says:
Il have noticed that great many
states are now beginning to enact mo-
tor truck legislation, and, as usual, the
laws are not uniform. This, of course
is going to hamper not only the man
ufacture of trucks, but will tend to-
ward confusion generally in motor
truck traffic. I believe the law should

TO TIGHTEN TERMINAL.

Much battery trouble is caused by
the terminals not fitting into the bat
terry bus bar snugly. This causes the
sulphate deposits to collect in the bat
terry terminal bearing area and make
a very poor connection, offering con-
siderable resistance to charging. In
fact, a corroded battery terminal will
cut down the charging rate about a
third.
Usually this trouble is brought about
by the terminal lock screw bottoming
in it's thread socket, making it impos-
sible to pull the terminal UP into the
bus bar tight.

for gasoline and tires are the two big
items In the outlay for keeping the car
running. There are then the obvious
first points Of attack in any attempt
70 cut down expenses. Further. 1t Is
che duty Of all car owners to make
their fuel 90 as far as possible. because
our supply Of petroleum IL barely
enough for our demands now, with still
heavier consumption in prospect.
The first place to begin the cam
paign to cut down fuel consumption Is
1T the carbuertor. Here occur most of
tho leaks that increase fuel consump-
ton. The average American car own
or drives with q mixture nearly twice
rs rich as necessary.
LEAN MIXTURE BEST
The modern engine will run on a
mixture ranging from about fourteen
parts air to one of gasoline to one con-
taining only eight parts Of air to one
Of gas. But the engine will do Its best
work when the mixture Is made as
han a. possible. While 1t burns the
heavier mixture it does. not operate
with the snap and vim that is displayed
On the leaner fuel.
Practically all modern carburetors
have an attachment for increasing and
decreasing the amount of air injected
into the mixture. 1t Is very simple
matter to experiment with this adj
5ustment, first making the mixture as
lean as possible and gradually turning
back until exactly the right proper
lions Of gas to air have been found for
satisfactory operation. In addition to
the benefits Of greater economy with
outs down carbon deposits.

lownor that II Is a very small matter

wastage that counts. The individuals

fuel were turned into actual service, in

would have a handsome surplus to take

COLOR IN JUDGING OIL.

Many truck owners Judge lubricating
oil entirely by the color, assuming that
a dark oil is heavy in carbon, while a
light oil is the better product. A light
colored oil is usually bleached with

frequently remains, which is injurious,
as 1t attacks metal surfaces. The dark
color is the lesser evil. The only safe
