CLAIM FAME AS
AUTO PIONEERS

You remember the stories told of
Fulton and the steamboat, Edison and
the electric lamp, Pullman and the
sleeping car, Morse and the tele-
graph, Marconi and the wireless, and
the Wright brothers and the aero
plane.
And 50 IL was with the birth Of the
first American motor car. Now comes
the claim that the Apperson brothers

KolSomo. Ind.-did, in cooperation
with others, build with their own
hands Americas first mechanically
successful automobile.

the average layman in this regard, 1t

one Of those hot, sultry, sticky days
for which the Hoosier State is justly
famous and 50 we had a car meet US

Delphi to take US the thirty-stx miles

me they try to give the honor for

one else, but I've always had my own
opinion about that. guess when IT
comes right down to who actually
built that horseless buggy, the Ap-
persons did the work with their own

It takes some men about twice as
long to pump up a tire with a hand
pump as 1t does the man who knows
how. Short, jerky strokes that only
bring the plunger part way up the
barrel Of the pump are the kind that

much longer time to fill the tire.

Very often old piston rings can be
rejuvenated and the wear they have
suffered may be compensated for by
the use Of sections of an old clock

rings and cleaned them thoroughly.
cut off pieces OF the clock spring OF
about the same length as the inner
circumference Of the rings allowing
enough space at the joint to take
care Of the eXpension. Then slip the
piece of spring inside the ring with
the joint at the opposite side from
that of the ring, and put the assembly
back on the piston. This expedient
in many instances has proven a good
remedy for compression loss and

In order to prevent tires from
sticking to the rusting. This is most
satisfactorily accomplished by the
use Of fake graphite, mixed into q
creamy paste by adding a small per-
centage of gasoline and applied to
the rims just like ordinary paint. The
gasoline evaporates and leaves the
graphic, which prevents rusting and
holds the tire bead away from the
rim.
