Here's Explanation
OF Some Mysteries
OF the Automobile

It's funny how people ride around
in cars and never know what makes
'em go. And just because they don't
know, they get into a lot of trouble
they would have avoided if they did
know.
The clutch is a mechanical hand
which holds the engine shaft and
the drive shaft together when the
car is going and lets go and sepa-
rates them when the car is not going
and the engine is.
The function of the gearset is to
provide a different ratio of engine
revolution to rear wheel revolution;
not, as some people fondly suppose.
to allow the driver to drive at differ
ent speeds, but to provide him with
more power when it is needed.
The differential is an arrangement
of gears which is an elastic trans
mitter of power to the rear wheels
it can deliver more power to one
wheel than the other, and, therefore,
can, allow one wheel to revolve
slower than the other.

explanation a friend gave her of

Ii is natural circulation, due to the
tact that the hot water from around
the cylinders rises and displaces the
cooler water above, thus inducing q
natural circulation.
Q. have been having a lot of
trouble from tire wear on the front
wheels. The rear tires seem to be all
right, but the tires I now have on
front are almost worn out, and yet
they have only travelled 1900 miles.
What is the trouble?
A. Almost certainly your trouble
is due to misalignment of the front
wheels. Have this checked up by
your garage If you are not able to
do it yourself. ....
Q. am having a lot of trouble
with my battery. | do lot OF run
ming at night and l also make a
number of stops. To save my life
cannot keep my battery UP to
charge. Can you suggest how to
remedy the trouble?
A. Take the battery to the, near
est service station and have them
adjust the charging rate. Do not
try to make the adjustment your
self. If this does not serve, it prob
ably means that you will have to get
larger generator or have the bat
terry charged from an outside source
at stated intervals.
Q. The brake pedal OF my car
keeps jumping up and down, even
when l am not touching it. The car
is new and | cannot understand
how such a trouble as this could
have developed so soon.
| A. The car evidently has what is
known as Hotchkiss drive and the
rear axle movement is transmitted
through the brake connections to
the pedal. Brake movement. may be
characteristic of any car using this
method of propulsion.
Q. Is it possible to obtain parts
Of the Stoddard-Dayton car? I have
chance to get one of these cars
cheap and / wonder if it would be
a good buy.
A. The Standard Motor Parts COM
pany, Newcastle, Ind, can supply
Standardization parts. If this car
is in reasonably good condition
there is no reason why it should not
be good buy. Condition is the de-
termining factor and you had better
have the car looked over by an ex-
pert unless you are qualified to pass

RUBBER TIRES IN
use IN STONE ACE.
lis LATEST DOPE
Goodyear Company Unearths
Evidence That Pneumatics
Were Employed Four
Million Years Ago.
They're all wrong.

They're all wrong.
Nobby-headed historians and
psychologists OF the Rube Goldberg
type who have written weighty
tones about the life, customs and
handicraft of the paleolithic and
neolithic ages must have been
takers.
Vehicles in the Chellean age
travelled on rubber tires produced by
our ancestors 100000 years ago.
Yep-that's the belief expressed
BY F. H. Daniels Of Mena, Ark, in
a letter to the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company, and he backs up
his belief by Photographic proof.
Here's the story.
The Story.
While occupied in his duties as
chairman Of an improvement district
of the Mena water works, Mr..
Daniels picked up on the outskirts
of the town 20-pound stone that
distinctly shows the imprint OF
what seems to be an all-weather
tread tire. The diamond-shaped
rubber buttons are cut into the
stone Enthusiastically.
What puzzles the westerner is
how the print got there--expert
mining engineers asserting that the
stone is of a formation of 4,OO0,0 DOC
years ago. Consequently he has
written the company asking just
when it.started the manufacture OF
these tires and requesting a solu-
ton of the puzzle.
The company has done consider
able pioneering in tire manufacture,
but is surprised at evidence tending
to show that its famous tread was
in existence on vehicles of the Stons
Age. 1t is skeptical, but there is
the Photographic proof.
Dobbin Afraid.
1t being within the memory of all
how Old Dobbin SHE'D in terror al
the first automobiles, Mr.. Dapiels is
almost afraid to reconstruct the
scene in early days 100000 years
ago. Think of the fright of the

brates at sight of a pneumatic equip.

new LINES TObE
SHOWN IN VELIE
CARSAT EXHIBIT
Models at Auto Show Present
a Distinct Departure From
Old Line of These
Cars.

This years Omaha motor Gar
show is to be a notable one for We
lie cars, distributed here by the Sc
curity Motor company, 22o4 Far
nam street.
New Vele models form distinct
departure from old lines. Curves
have given way to plane surfaces
wherever possible. From the radi-
ator Gu three planes back through
hood, high cowl and body, an IN
broken line of planes is presented,
making a unit of the creation to a
degree never accomplished before.
"This, however, is rather mat
ter of-fact statement of a remarkable
achievement in automobile art" says
Charles r. Gardner, manager of the
Security company. 1T is in the per-
feet proportion of the planes, their
symmetry, and the harmonious COM
bination of the mirror-like surfaces
that the spirit of the car is subtly
expressed. The plane-motif is even
carried into the new bevel border
tenders octagonal lamps, and other
details.
Five models OF this serial num-
Der 48 are to be notwithstanding
car; four-door sedan, speedster,
coupe and touring roadster.
Advances in comfort and luxury
and new ideas mark the car through
out. The body of the touring car
is longer. The utmost breadth is
given to the doors. There is more
room in the deep-tilted seats with
soft plated genuine leather uphol-
stery. A depressed footboard gives
increased leg room. The hand-tail-
ored top is fitted with gypsy cur
tins. Side curtains open with the
doors. There are ample storage
spaces in the seats and doors for
everything that is carried.
The Security company also is ex-
hibiting the new Skeleton" model
Premier. Other 1920 Premier offer
ings will arrive in Omaha within the
next few weeks, Mr.. Gardner an

O. How can I clean my spark

tie the plug and clean the parts sep
arately.
o. I have been told that an auto
mobile engine can be run on ordl'
nary gas. If this is so why do we
not use it instead of gasoline?
A. If you refer to illuminating
gas. it is quite true that an engine
c; 7, he operated on it, but gasoline
is far easier to handle. Illuminating
gas was used in England when gas,
dime was not obtainable, but it is
necessary to carry such big contain
ers of it that it is not practical for
ordinary use.
O. When I throw out the clutch
of my 1916 Dodge car, the engine
almost ivariably stops. This hap
pens when the throttle is about eight
inches up, when the car is running
about 10 or IS miles per hour on
an ordinary road. What is the
trouble?
A. The tf,rowout collar is worn
so that when the pedal is depressed
the clutch does not come entirely
clear, thus dragging and causing the
engine to stop.
Q. What is meant by the term
"camber?"
A. Gambler refers to the fitting OF
the front wheels outwardly, so that
they are closer together at the bot
tom than at the top. Similarly the
term gather" refers to the bringing
together of the front portion of each
wheel, so that the wheels are closer
in front than in the rear.

Something Wrong If Engine
Goes and the Car Doesn't

"If the engine goes and the car
won't, there must be a broken link
somewhere" says Old Timer in Mo-
tor Life. "The links are clutch,
transmission, shaft, universal joints,
differential, rear axles, rear wheels.
If any of them break the power
can't get to the wheels.
lacking up one rear wheel and
running the car with gears engaged
ought to spin that wheel. If the
axle is not busted the free wheel
will turn. When you can spin one
rear wheel while the other is sta
tionary and the engine engaged
through clutch and transmission,
obviously there is a break.
"A rear axle break is more CON-
mon than a broken shaft-also, a
broken shaft will perhaps trail and
show"
