GLAONESS IN THEIR HEARTS

went into the mud above their shoe

Marx rwaln,. INFLAMMATION.

Mark Twain had such a vivid i'm
aginatlon, such a brain for embroid-
cry, that 1t was a difficult task for him
to tell a straight story just as it hap
pened-he could make up one that
was so much better. We all know
that Albert Bigelow Paine, working on
the Mark Twain Life" found 1t
necessary to discard much of the au-
Photographic material that Mark
Twain had written. Investigation,
talks with men still living who knew
the facts, simply proved that the tales
were not SO. And Mark Twain was
no liar. He had a glorious, an almost
superhumsn, imagination. AS he APP

as quoted In the Life" when l was
younger I could remember anything,
whether 1t happened or not; but /

season. These cisterns are in many
cases twenty feet in height and eight

Real Storm Vision
Windshield Is Created
Cole All-Season Cars Have This
Sort, as Described by
Russell L. Engs

Something in the way of novelty Is
q new type of windshield for Cole all
season ears, to which attention is di-
rected by Russell L. Engs, the New
York dealer for this car.
"This windshield in a driving gale
will keep all rain and snow out Of the
interior of the car, and at the same
time yield the driver clear view of
the road through q section unobstruct-
ed even by any portion of the glass;"
says Mr.. Engs.
"The windshield consists of two dis
tinct sections, forming w at the roof
Of the car and a separation of about
ten inches at the cowl. The outer sec
ton is composed of two panes of glass
and the inner section of one.
adjusted for a storm, the lower
pane of the outer section is turned out
until its upper edge is on level with
the upper edge of the inner section
and the top pane is adjusted out until
an open space of about two inches is
left between the bottom edge of it and
the upper edge of the lower section.
When the car is in motion vacuum is
created between the two sections of the
shield and current of air is drawn
from within the car, instead of into it.
Snow and rain are thus forced out in a
steady stream at either side between
the two sections of the windshield, and
the open space of two inches on a level
with the drivers eyes is kept free of
snow or rain by the suction created"

Magnetic Needs Oil;
Not Often or Much
But just Because of That Fact
1t Shouldn't Be Neglected
nv MOfOrisf

Nothing could be SIMPLER than the
proper fabrication of magnetic.
That very simplicity may be respon-
sible for the frequency with which
the magnetic is neglected. Yet if lub-
rication Of the rest of the chassis were
as simple motoring would be pleas
ure unalloyed.
Most magnetos require just drop
or two at two or three points once in
fortnight to keep the ball bearings
moist, the oil being retained by felt
pad which doles it out in homeopathic
doses. The magnetic which requires
the most oil is no more difficult to
care for than others, and several inn
portant electrical advantages which it
contains more than offset this.
There are two oil cups on the Dixie
over the bearings, which require oil
every 1000 miles of passenger car
travel or every 500 miles BY a truck
One is just back of the distributor and
requires four drops-no more and
no less-and the other at the extreme
rear, requiring just two. Every other
time the bearings are oiled, the
breaker box should be removed and
drop of oil on a toothpick dropped in
the little hole in the breaker frame,
just above the breaker arm bearing.
This requires ordinary care not to get
any of the oil onto the platinum
points.
Some makers recommend sewing ma
chine oil, but any light oil, such as is
used in the crank case in winter, will
do.

loaded into the trailer. Accordingly,
four wheel trailer must be loaded
with the surplus and picked up by one
OF the other trucks.
In the busiest season-May, June

Accordingly, the creamery company has
established condensory at Goodrich,

milk comes in. A Federal truck has been
IN operation here, hauling from Mil
ford, for some time. This is a fifty
mile haul, and as a round trip must
be made daily, two drivers are used.
1he average daily haul is 1878 cans,
or 1878 gallons Of milk. Stations
will be opened at any place where
farmers will bring in the milk.
1t can be seen, incidentally, that
haulage costs with motor trucks can
be further reduced by the intelligent
use OF trailers. The hauling capacity

tripled, in many cases, by towing one
or two loaded trailers behind the truck.

reduced, which enables them to make

trailers will be forced to meet the
rates of the operator who does use
them and in self-protection will have
to adopt trailers also. c. E. T. S.

Amateur Tire Repair

Temporary Patching Should Be
Followed by Quick Visit
to Repairman

Amateur tire patching ruins thou
sands of automobile tires each year.
1t is a common practice among auto
mobile owners in treating a cut or
puncture in a tire to insert patch
on the inside of the casing at the point
of injury, thinking that the damage is
permanently repaired. Such a repair
Will in time ruin any tire.
1t is good practice to apply patches
IN such cases, but tire sleeve should
always be placed at the same time on
the outside Of the tire opposite the
patched portion. The sleeve serves to
bind the tire, hold the torn and in
jured parts of the fabric in place and
to present further chatting and rupture.

Two Good Reports
OF Owen Magnetics
Cars i'm Western States Return
Good Performances in
Owners Hands

+. S. Partridge, president of the com
pany which sells Owen Magnetics, is
enthusiastic over the new manufact-
uring plans for these cars, which call
for their exclusive production on q
large scale by the Industrial Fabri
eating Company, ofWilkes- Barre. Penn.
Mr.. Partridge, by the way, is in re-
celpt of reports from the West of two
noteworthy performances by these
cars. One is telegram from Harry
c. James, a Denver business man. as
follows:
New York to Denver, $3.50 miles, in
Lightweight hours. No tire trouble
Car worked to perfection
The other interesting report came in
letter from R. H. Cobban, a Mon
tana dealer, who recently sold w. A
Clark an Owen Magnetic, and made a
trip with him in the car. An extract
from the letter is as follows:
During our trip through Yellow
stone Park the car ran beautifully
never showing any signs of heating on
the long mountain climbs. We passed
cars of all makes. While in tbs park
we were always at an altitude of 7O0C
feet or more, in some places $500
feet, and at the summit of Mount
Washburn the altitude was 10000 feet
From the Canyon House, 5000 feet I'D
we climbed with ease 1900 feet in
seven miles. Ours was the first Owen
Magnetic that had ever been in the
park, and the officials there certainly
were interested in its appearance and
performance"

Shortage of Closed
Cars, Says De Bear
Makers of Bodies Are Not Keep.
ing Up to the Demand,
His Report

I'm their rush to take care of buy
ers Of open cars" says Harry J. De
Bear, manager of the Maxwell Chal-
mers New York branch, many New
York distributors failed to grasp the
situation as to closed cars in time to
protect their trade during the fall and
early winter
when l began to face shortage
of open Maxwell and Chalmers mod
els last spring | realized that all the
factories were bound to face a greater
shortage in closed cars this coming
winter than they had ever experienced
before and l at once opened negoti-
atoms with Dclosed body builders in
the metropolitan district. I also took
steps to obtain from our factories a
supply of Maxwell and Chalmers chas-
ses upon which to mount such closed
bodies as | could contract for at that
time.
1T is going to be nearly impossible
for any New York distributor to cope
with the situation unless he has had
the foresight to prepare for his Gus
toners. More than a month ago the
body builders who supply our man
ufacturers threw up their hands and
said, we not only cannot take any
more orders, but we cannot build half
of the bodies already ordered Since
then the body builders have reported
that as the time for delivery draws
nearer they find their production
forces slowing down rather than speed
ing up.
within a very short time I hope to
get a definite report from several body
concerns specifying actual delivery
dates. So far they have merely in
formed me that they are doing their
best"

At r. X. CROSSINGS
10 Be Really Safe
And if Engine Stalls Use
the Self-Starter (if You
Have ANY, To Pull the
Car Out of Harms Wav
By William HI. Stewart, Jr.

BY William II. Stewart, Tr.
President Stetoart Automobile School
1T Is we'll to give the motorist a few
words of advice on a subject usually
disregarded - that of crossing rail
roads. Many people are killed on the
tracks through their own carelessness
Some are so eager to get across that
they even drive through closed gates.
The all too usual method of crossing
tracks is to drive on high gear
throttled down. This REQUIRES Ger,
tain amount Of gas and if the amount
Is reduced too much the engine will
stall. By shifting into second speed
all such danger Is overcome. Then the
engine is turning faster and it is not
SO easy to stall. Furthermore, the car
may be driven across the tracks at
approximately the same speed. The
impression prevails that the car NAV
ne speeded up more readily on high
gear in the event of train approach
ing, but the distance is short and a
fuil throttle opening on second speed
Will send the car forward with greater
certainty.
rms brings up a matter Of impor-
lance, that Of opening the throttle too
suddenly If the accelerator pedal is
pressed too quickly the engine some
times stalls. This is because the air
valve yields readily to the increased
suction, giving sudden rush of air
before the spray nozzle can respond
with enough gasolene Whether the
throttle is opened by hand or foot the
driver should open it gradually enough
to give the engine time to respond. No
matter how great the danger may be,
the throttle must be opened gradually
This does not mean to hesitate, but at
speed which will not cause the en-
CINE to choke before accelerating.
Sailing the engine with train ap-
preaching at high speed is a danger
Gus experience, to say the least There
is no time to start the engine, but the
operator who keeps his presence of
mind will use the starter to pull out
of danger. BY shifting into low speed
and pressing the starter pedal the car
is made to move forward slowly. Keep
ing this fact in mind, a driver may
save his own life and the lives of those
with him.

The Engine as a Brake

When starting down very steep
grade it is advisable to place the
gears in low speed. The rear wheels
will then turn the engine, a move
nent requiring considerable effort.
This produces a very good braking
effect. A light car on a moder-
ately steep hill will stop, and
heavy car will move slowly, but al
ways under control. This is called
"using the engine as a brake"
1t should be practised from time
to time so that the driver may be-
come familiar with the method. II
all the other brakes fail, this is the
best and only thing to do. Practise
the trick frequently so that it be-
comes as easy as any other opera
ton and you will! have cause to be
thankful il ever the need arises to
use it.

To the industrial world that has found
in the commercial motor vehicle one of
the greatest factors in meeting COM
petition and in broadening the field of
of car is Of particular interest at this
time. Trailers, for some unknown rea-
son, have gone backward in their num-
bers.
AS the numbers of cars and chauf-
feurs have increased in the six-month
period, the receipts to Mr.. Hugo's Of
flee show corresponding upward
trend, running into the hundreds Of
thousands. The first six months of
1913 the State Automobile Bureau took
in $4,621 ,Ol5, or a matter of SCOT, 1860
less than thus far this year, the de-
crease in motorcycles serving to les
sen the receipts by over $4,000.
The part which the last six months
have played in the autom oble records
OF New York State, as compared With
all Of last year, furnishing base in
computing this years total registra-
ton, can be seen in the fact that as
compared to a twelve months regis
tration of 1918, the first six months
this year show an increase Of 50, 6S6
in passenger cars; 951 in omnibuses;
OF $50 III trailers and an increase of
1874 in dealers. These figures, it
should be borne in mind, are for six
months Of this year as impaired with
twelve months last year.
Above $500 more chauffeurs have
already been licensed by Secretary
Hugo than for all Of last year, and the
total receipts Of the motor vehicle
bureau on August l, this year, amount
ing to $5,22S, $3.50, are already $780,
854 in excess of all last year, when the
receipts were s4,945,297.5 SO

Nichols Reports Big
Demand for the Zenith

James c. Nichols, who for manv
years had the agency for the Schebler
carburetor, has discontinued that
agency, and is now the factory dis
tributer for the Zenith carburetor.
The prestige the Zenith has received
during the war, having been the equip
ment on nearly all the aviation motors
inc. udlng the Liberty motor, to-
gether with its special designs to take
care OF the present low grade of gas,
mas caused a big demand for this car
buretor.
Mr. Nichols has experts TO advise
automobile owners as to the tvna ana
style that they require and reports a
big interest and a considerable number
OF motorists who are changing over to
the present type of Zenith.
