HAS ONE
 MAIN JOB, SEPARATION

"The purpose sof insulation is just the same everywhere" says J. G. Till man, of Tillman Bros., owners of the New White Garage. "Whether it is in a power plant or in a storage battery, it's main job is to keep the positive and negative sides of the circuit apart.
 But in battery there are in all three things that insulation has to do. First, it must keep the positive and negative plates apart; second, it must allow free passage of the battery solu- tion, and third, it must resist the cor rosive action of this strong acid solu- tion.
 Certain kinds of wood do all three things and do them well, but the wood must be selected with great care, and even then there is more or less varia- tion, as with any natural product. Wood insulators are also difficult to handle, as they must be chemically treated, must be worked wet, and must never be allowed to dry.
 "Threaded rubber insulation, which is now we'll known among car own CTS, has all the advantages of the best grade of selected wood, and in addition it gives the plates the advan- tage of the greater protective proper ties of rubber"

AUTO PRICES KEEP
 PACE WITH THE H. C. L.

Automobile prices are keeping pace with the general high cost of living. Several auto factories have given mo- tice in the last two weeks of advanced prices on current models.
 The Packard Motor Car Co. ad- vanced prices on all passenger cars and trucks. On line 325, including the open touring and closed models, the advances are from $500 to $400. On the trucks the advances range from $150 to $20O.
 The Peerless Motor Car O., of Cleveland, advanced all models $40, giving as a reason the increasing cost of labor and materials.
 The Cole Motor Car Co. of Indian apolis increased prices on it's entire line $200.
 The Haynes Automobile Co. has an- nounced an increase in price of $200 on 1920 models, to take effect at once. The line will consist of light six in four body styles and four styles of light twelves.
 The 1920 program of the Buick company calls for six models at prac- tically the present prices. The coupe and sedan were increased in price a few weeks ago.
 A number of other large manufac- turers are reported to be considering an advance of prices On their product and the day seems far off when prices on any line of automobiles will be re stored to the pre-war basis.

MUFFLER INTENDED TO LESSEN
 SOUND, NOT TO REDUCE POWER

opening the throttle fully makes a slight increase in power. Opening the cut-out, however, causes the en- zine to speed up. One time was riding in a car which could hardly make the slightest grade and second gear was a frequent necessity. A test showed that the cut-out was the proper accelerator to use and we used it about all the way home. Then the muffler was taken off and found all most wholly clogged with soot.
 Old Boat Doesn't Zip-Zip
 This was case where the cause and effect were readily apparent, but there is many driver wondering why the old boat doesn't zip-zip the way she used to who would find way out of his troubles if he would look in side the muffler. Inspection of the muffler ought to be as regular as packing the wheel hubs; yet doubt if single service station ever makes an examination. l have looked over a number of service station inspec- tion schedules and have yet to find one which called for any attention whatever to the muffler.
 Another practice which makes lot of trouble for the muifler is that of putting kerosene in the cylinders to cut the carbon. It will clean out the carbon, true, but that isn't all; the carbon is exhausted through the muf- fer and the small openings are soon cloTged by the greasy deposit. Some drivers have discovered this, and where there Is cut-out it is opened, allowing most of the carbon to escape in this way. It does not wholly obvi- ate the trouble, however, nor excuse the careless driver from the duty of giving the muffler the once-over occa- sionally, the same as he does other parts of the car.
 Average Driver Should Know How Probably one of the chief reasons for neglect is the fact that the muller is a non-moving member, and many persons can not see why thing that does no "work" should get out of whack. But it has to withstand 2 rush of heated gases and the heating of innumerable fine particles of car bon, and it's "work" is:
 "They also serve who only stand i and wait"
 Since the muffler is terra incognitt { to most drivers, it might be well te obtain from the manufacturer of tho car the proper pamphlet showing ths construction of the design used or i the car; but the average driver should be able to dissect it and reassemble | after cleaning.
 Neither garage man nor service sta ton representative will give the muf fer the slightest attention unless di
 rected to, or it makes its defect st apparent that it can not be overlooked and hence must be looked over.

MOTOR CAR coNoUERs DESERT

Conqueiing the deserts of Mongolia with American motor cars is one of the achievements of American engi- neers and pioneers, who have made the wide waste tracts resound to the exhaust of the motor.
 The Chinese government now has 8 motor line running across the wide desert between Kalgan and Urga," R. F. Thompson, the manager of . big motor distributing agency in San Francisco, said the other day.
 Porter Mickle, now a San Francis co motor car salesman, made the path finding trip across the desert at the request of General Tinge of the Chinese Republic" Mir. Thompson continued.
 "To cross the Gobi, between Kal- gan and Urga, before the motor line was established was considered fool hardy by the natives. The Gobi is a stretch of sandy desert between the two places, and it is infested with Mongol bandits, whose chief pleasure in life seems to be to hold up cara vans and take what they need and ride away into the shifting sands.
 "In the rainy season the skies liter ally open their tanks and let fly. It rains continuously for days and weeks and months, not gentle rains, but tor rents that flood the entire country and make the trails practically impass- able.
 Through this mud Miche fought for days. At times, with coolies dig ging the mud, the party made only 3 half mile day.
 Starting at Kalgaq, which may be reached by railroad from Pekin, the party traversed a rough, rocky stretch of country, through mountain passes. Rapid travel is impossible, for, in ad- dition to the poor condition of the narrow trails, the road leading to the Mongolian plains rises 11,000 feet in less than thirty miles.
 After reaching the top of the big plateau, about thirty miles from Kal- gan, the country develops into 8 vast table land These rolling plains give way, near Tahil, to chain of barren hills, three or four hundred feet high, and then cast stretches of rolling plain, devoid of wells and without a sign of life.
 "Between Pong -Kiong and Udde, Q distance of about 260 miles from Kalgan, a descent is made into an im- mense basin of sand, which is the desert of Gobi itself. Here travel is exceedingly difficult. The sand causes the wheels to chura and the tire wear out quickly.
 "The desert is left behind at Tuerin, distance of 681 miles from Kalgan. From Tuerin to the end of the run the roads are good, and the 155 miles be- tween this point and Urga offer little if any difficulty.
 "The Chinese government now has thirty-five cars in this desert run and has ordered sixty-fve more, which will be placed in service as soon as they are received.'

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
WATERS EFFECT
 ON CYLINDERS OF
 AUTOMOBILE ENGINES

The United States bureau of stand ards has completed tests of the effect of water injection into the cylinders of engines. The results arrived at have been summarized by the experts of the bureau of standards somewhat as follows:
 "No appreciable effect is produced upon the power, fuel economy and general operation of a gasoline en- zine by the injection of water into the cylinders at rates varying from 003 to 0.44 lb. per brake horsepower hour. When water is injected at a higher rate than 0.44 ID. per brake horsepower there is an appreciable decrease in the power output, fuel economy and smoothness of operation.
 ".It is quite probable that in badly carbonixed engine or an engine of de- fective design, in which there are hot spots that cause preignition, the in- lection of the water results in an in- crease of power. In an engine oper- ating at high water-jacket tempera- ture the injection of water in amounts between two and eight pounds per hour produces a softening and slight reduction, of carbon, this reduction not exceeding twenty-five per cent and be- ing most noticeable on the piston heads and valves. However, wate, injection at the maximum rate also causes considerable reduction of the power"

GOOD ROADS CUT
 THE COST OF LIVING

"Out of wars transportation chal- lenge has now come also a clear con- ception of why we need and value highways. Many have labored long and faithfully to build roads, not traf- fic, and to complete the road has been to accomplish the goal. But today, men labor for roads as one element only---as a means to an end, the new desire being to secure economical highways transport. The true test of a roads value is in it's power to stirn- ulate traffic over it, and having done so, to permit it's carriage at the low est possible cost"
 In these words Robert c. Hargraves sums up the new understanding of the road situation in his chapter, "Motor- ized Highways" in the volume Dem ocracy in Reconstruction" recently published.

lBv H. Clifford Brokaw.)

(By H. Clifford Brokaw.)
 If you do not have a muffler on your car the copper will get you as a nui- sance and a fine will be assessed next morning.
 But your muffler is intended to muffle the sound of the motor and not its power. Yet in many cases there is such back pressure from the muffler that large percentage Of the power is neutralized. It is no wonder that a lot of drivers of trucks and passenger cars want cut-out on the exhaust line. Some of them might use it for an accelerator. All because the muffler is clogged with soot and perhaps rust.
 The muffler never has been popular and it may be that is why it is so neglected-snubbed, so to speak. It was not a part of the early cars, which chugged and roared through the streets until patient folk began passing ordinances about 1t. Then 1t was considered necessary to have a cut-out to help start or relieve pres sure on the hills, Modern motors do not require this and the cut-out is not a part of the regular equipment any longer. Thousands are made and sold, however, to drivers who would rather use their heels than their heads-who would rather endure the noise than keep the .muffler clean, taking the chance of an occasional fine. Most of them do not even know that the muf- Aov rnedc cleaning ae5
 Now, the purpose of the muller Is this: The exhaust valve opens with the burned gas under 2 pressure of close to thirty pounds per square inch. Every one knows what . commotion is made when it is exhausted directly into the air. The muffler was design ed to quiet this, make motoring con versations possible and enable dwell- CTS along the highways to live peace ably. Imagine the roar of the thou sands of cars and trucks on Fifth avenue, New York City, any day, oI on a travelled highway on Sunday.
 Exhaust Gases May Cool
 The muffler provides chamber where the exhaust gases may expand and cool, while the pressure is broker by forcing the gas through many small holes slowly.
 When these small openings fill uI with soot, just exactly after the fash: ion of the stovepipe, the gas can no' pass of rapidly enough and the cylin ders are not fully emptied after eacf explosion stroke. That makes it i'm possible to draw in a full charge oi new mixture on the next suctior stroke, there is not a normal quantity to explode and there is less power il proportion
 It may naturally happen, and I havt had such cases reported to me, tha'

The following composition on "The Angelus" was written by New York schoolboy:
 "This picture was painted by Ma lay. It contains g man and woman, . pitchfork, wheelbarrow and church steeple. The man and the woman are very poor and they have been digging potatoes because they need them to live on. The potatoes look quite small. Just at sunset they hear a bell ring; it is the Angelus; it means they must pray. So they bow their heads and pray for bigger potatoes." l"

turn. The left.hand drive makes this easy. If the operator is going to the left, he should hold his arm out in a horizontal. This indicates to those back of him they should not come up behind him on that side. When mak- ing a right turn the car should be run close to the curb and the signal given by waving the hand in small circle with a forward swing, as if to say: "Come on up on this side; I'm going to turn the corner" The "come on" motion is not prescribed by law, but has become custom of the road.
 If a sudden stop is necessary, the hand should be held upward. This signal formerly was used by coachmen on the box and is well known to all users of the highway.
The Coconino sun., 1919-08-29

One of the things many motorists have great difficulty in learning to do properly is turning corners; not only with due regard for the safety of himself and his passengers, but for the safety of others as well.
 It is difficult to coast around cor ner at low speed, and if high speed is used the car goes too fast. The novice driver should practice going into second speed just before he reaches the corner he is about to turn, and then drive around at slow speed.
 Another detail every driver should learn and practice is the matter of signaling. The law states that the driver shall signal in some unmistak- able manner which way he is going to

CALCUTTA NOW USES
 AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES

There are more motor cars on the streets of Calcutta than any other kind of vehicle. The number of pri- vately owned cars is said to be about 4,OO0, and there are approximately 500 taxicabs. It is thought that the American cars will soon predominate the streets of India. All the motor cars imported into Calcutta since the signing of the armistice and the re- moval of the import embargo have been of American manufacture.
