Out in California they hit upon a
great many clever motor car ideas,
so 1t twill not be surprising to learn
that this new way of identifying

flowers and movies. You put your
initials on the plate glass or celluloid
rear window OF the top. and when
your. car is parked with a number
of others you will have no trouble
finding 1t. Or, should you wish to
direct someone else to your car. all
you have TO do is to tell him your in.

DUPLEX TRUCK MAKES
RECORD ON TEX. HIGHWAY
Carries Load Of 1900 Pounds and s
Men 53 Miles in 2 Hours
4 Minutes.


The inter-city truck hauling sgita-
tion. recently introduced in Texas.
was given impetus by the record
made by a Duplex Limited in a test
run from Fort Worth TO Dallas and
return.
Driven by C. M. Maxwell OF the
Stapleton-Brewn Motor Company.
and carrying a load OF 1900 pounds
OF Nissley butter and six men. the
Itruck made the run 10 Dallas, a dis
tance OF nfty-three miles, in two
hours and four minutes. The route
was via Grapevine. carrolton ana
Farmers Branch, which had many
stretches OF rough road. The speed
averaged better than twenty-five
miles an hour.
When the load OF butter was de-
livered to the Dallas Nissley branch,
the truck was loaded with Ill pneu-
matte automobile tires, the property
OF the Sayles Rapid Transit Company,
and the return trip TO Fort Worth
started. The Dsllas7Fort Worth
pike, with the necessary detours
through the river bottoms. was
chosen for the return trip IL COW
cred thirty-nve miles over unusually
rough roads between Dallas and
Arlington. but was made in one hour
and forty minutes.
The trip was made under the au-
spices of the Ship-by-Truck Bureau.
and c. A. Snyder. manager OF the
Bureau. rode on the truck. He kept
record OF speedometer and gas
readings and other details. and re-
ports an average of eleven miles per
gallon OF gas. d,

a tire pressure gauge; some extra
spark plugs and rim lugs; a box OF
talcum powder: a few feet OF high
and low tension cable; a roll Of tape:
an extra valve and spring: a grease
gun and an extra spring clip and
bolts.
Begin the journey with tires in
good condition and with two extras
with covers), preferably inflated on
rims; three extra tubes, carefully roll
ed and packed in burlap to keep from
chafing; a box OF tube patching outfit
for punctures and a blowout patch or
inner boot. Carry tire pump in good
order and good jack, also small
piece of plank 2xSxIS inches. to use
as a base for the jack in soft ground.
Weed chains. preferably two sets. are
necessary equipment. half dozen
extra cross chains should re in the
tool box. Carry "A steel rope for tow
ing a collapsible canvas bucket and
a fve-gallon canvas water bag, also
one upper and one lower rubber hose
connection for radiator, with clamps.
Bring a two-pound box OF cup grease
and a gallon can OF extra Iubricating
oil.
GIVE GOOD INSPECTION.
To carry duffle bags. tent. commits
sary boxes and other camp equip pine I
securely on the running board equip
the car with a folding parcel carrier
or use footman loops, through which
run webbing straps for fastening the
equipment snugly. Similar loops may
also be screwed to the tonneau floor
to be used for strapping down suit
cases or other baggage to keep them
from shifting and annoying the pas
sengers.
See that the car is in good working
order and all parts we'll lutricated
before starting on the tour and that
the battery is fully charged. Have
the top in good shape and the curtains
with no broken lights. Number the
side curtains to facilitate quick at
tachment in a sudden storm.
Now a few words of final advice
which read over every day or two to
see that none of it is forgotten:
Do not overload the car. Distribute
the weight to equalize the strain on
springs. Use soft water for radiator;
rain water is best; continuous use Of
hard water is bad. Watch the brakes,
making prompt adjustments to take
up wear and renew brake lining when
worn. Shift gear when motor begins
to labor on a grade, do not strain it
unnecessarily. Watch the alignment
of the wheels. When driving watch
the instrument board to see that the
ammeter indicates charging the bat
terry by the generator. If there is no
generator on the car have the battery
tested often.
Remember that proper fabrication
Is absolutely essential to the best per-
formance of the car and to it's econom-

WESTERN HORSES NOW
RIDE IN MOTOR TRUCKS

RENO, New, Aug. 7.-Where once
means Of rapid transportation over
the plains and mountains OF the far
West, the motor truck has come to
reverse conditions with the stamp OF
modern development. A half dozen
saddle horses have just been taken
from Stockton, California to Reno,
Nevada in a big motor truck cross
ing the high Sierras on the Lincoln
Highway. The horses comfortably
riding in the trucks presented a weird
contrast to the oldtimers OF this sec
ton who remember the pony express
riders of frontier days following the
trail of what is now the Lincoln
Highway.

MOTOR CAMPING
POPULAR PAST|ME
Doesn't Require Experience to
Enjoy Sport in Open With
Aid OF Auto.

Inexperienoe should not deter one
from going motor car camping. or
the increasingly great number who
are yearly enjoying this heslthful
outdoor life even the "old-timers"
were beginners once. Breathing the
pure ozone day and night, eating the
meals with an appetite epd increasing
relish, coupled With the exercise
necessarily associated with camp life,
will soon bring tho glow of health
back to pale cheeks.
Then motor car camping is, OF
course, relatively inexpensive when
compared with hotel bills. coupled
with garage storage bills. In fact, a
party can make quite an extensive
camping tour very economically as to
some extent the commissary supplies
can be procured direct from the
farmers and generally near the chosen
camp site from day to day.
REAL AID TO HEALTH.
Do not hesitate on account OF poor
health, unless a positive invalid. The
continual change. healthful rest. and.
above all. the pure AIR Is a panacea
for fIazzled nerves and rundown sys-
TENS, the tired mind and body.
Finally. do not fail to realize that
motor car camping is as beneficial to
the children as to grown folks, so
take the kiddies along and let them
enjoy, themselves to the full, in the
meantime learning many things that
will beneht them in later years.
II camp life seems complicated for
the first night or two. one soon learns
the quickest and most practical way
of handling the outfit. When prof.
cheney is attained, the labor part Of
camp life dwindles into insignihcance
and the enjoyment and benefit in
crease many fold.
EQUIPPING THE CAR.
Before starting out on a motor car
camping tour look over the tool box
and see that II contains the necessary
Hvrenches, such as open end wrenchey.
an adjustable (or monkey wrench. a
Stillson wrench, and a spark plug
socket wrench a pair OF pliers; also
chain-repair pliers: mechanics ham
mer; a large and small screw driver:

ical use. When touring turn down
grease cups and fill oil cups and oil
holes every day: lubricate spring
leaves often; replenish oil in crank
case every day and rensw at least
every thousand miles; replenish
grease in universal joints every five
hundred miles even though they are
hard to reach underneath the car;
do not pour heavy oil into differential
above the level OF overflow hole or IL
will escape at the brakedrum and
spoil the efficiency of the brakes
besides causing injury to the tires.
Remember that abrupt stops. quick
starts and side skids are very bad
for tires. Repair small tire cuts
promptly. Have sand biisters or mud
boils repaired as soon as they appear;
they are due to under initiation. Use
talcum powder when inserting tubes
in castings but do not use too much.
Do not drive in ruts, II wears out
the side walls of the casings. Do not
allow oil or grease to remain on the
castings. wipe off with a rag moist
ened with gasoline. When using
Weed chains do not adjust them too
tightly. allow them to creep. Always
drive with proper regard for the
tires, avoid boulders, sharp stones and
severe joIts. Remember that wet
rubber cuts. 1t is tough only when
dry. Finally, keep the tires we'll in
flated, this is excellent economy.
using for fabric tires a pressure OF
twenty pounds for each inch of diane
ter and for cord tires sixteen pounds.
Use guage to determine pressue ac-
curately and make tests every morn
ing.
When stuck in a mudhole or on a
sandy stretch do not speed up the
engine and Jump" the clutch. This
will only cause the wheels to spin and
the car to sink deeper. Open the
throttle only far enogh to keep the
engine from stalling and engage the
clutch slowly. The chances are that
this method will procure traction.-A.
