Racing Motor Unsafe
As Well as Expensive
Practice Should Particularly
Be Stunned by Motor
Truck Drivers
By F. G. Homer

A truck driver should never allow
the engine to race. This is Il rule that
should be strictly obeyed if an eff
cient, long-lived power plant is desired
Running an engine at top speed has q
much greater pounding effect at the
different bearing points than the
smooth rubbing effect when running at
AN idling speed, say of 800 +. p. m
Consequently racing motor wears
out bearing surfaces very rapidly, re-
ducing the efficiency and shortening the
life.
Racing an engine is certain to put
excessive strain on all its parts and
will result in many high repair bills
To race the engine when it is very
cold is very likely to result in scored
pistons and cylinders. 1t may result
in breaking certain parts, as metal
when very cold, is very brittle Run
the engine slowly. so that the metal
will warm up gradually The cold oil
in the crank case will at the same
time gradually warm up and can be
forced to all the engine parts needing
fabrication. When the oil is cold it is
thick and heavy and does not give
proper fabrication at once, as it will
not flow until warm.
Racing motor or keeping it throt-
tied up to a HIGH speed while driving
causes greater consumption of gas,
and also deprivcs the driver of per-
feet control of bis truck. A truck
whose engine is continually speeded up
is hard to handle.
Racing motor is dangerous as we'll
as unccOnOmical

Cape Cod Offers Objective
For New England Tourists
Picturesque Places and In
teresting People Out on
the 'sCape''; How to
Make the Trip

Motorists making the. run from the
metropolitan district to New London,
Providence, Newport, Boston or inter
mediate points, using the Shore Line
in whole or in part, will find it advan
tageous to extend their trips to include
something of Cape Cod. This may be
done with comparatively small addi-
tonal mileage, and an entire circuit
Of the Cape need not add more than
single day to- through schedule.
Quaint places, interesting people,
plenty of sea -food and the chance to
turn fisherman or sailor are among the
attractions of this section. Here also
the cranberry may be seen in probably
growing in the bogs which comprise a
great part of these ocean bound town
ships. Good roads will be found lead
ing to all the principal resorts and
points of interest, and the motorist is
wise who confines his trips largely to
these highways, for once off of them
one is likely to run onto sand trails.
The shortest and most trayeled route
from New York City to Cape Cod is.
according to the Touring Bureau of
the American Automobile Association,
along the Shore Line through Siam
ford, Bridgeport, New Haven, Westerly
and Narragansctt Pier to Saunders
town, r. |.
There ferry is taken across the
western arm of Narragansett Bay to
Jamestown, and a second ferry con-
meets from that point to Newport
across the eastern arm of the bay
From Newport one continues to Fall
River, turning east from thence to
New Bedford and running along the
north shore of Buzzards Bay through
Wareham to Buzzards Bay Station,
where Cape Cod is first reached.
From here the real circuit begins
Running south from Buzzards Bay
station, one passes through several
interesting small places to Falmouth
(from which Woods Hole is reached
by short side trip); thence east along
the south shore /of the Cape through
Centerville, Hyannis and the several
Harwiches to Chatham. Turning north
at Chatham, one soon comes to Or
leans and may continue up the mar

The road from Portland to Bridgeville
is reported under repair. The road
over Schooley's Mountain is reported
freshly oiled and in terrible condition.
Good roads are found to Bangor, Pa,
then splendid new cement road for
seven miles south to Martins Greek
and fine road to Easton. Continuin 9
on west side of river, the road is fair
to good to Kintnersville, then fair dirt
road is found to the bridge at Milford.
Crossing to the east side, the road
south to Frenchtown is in good con-
diton, followed by an average of fine
roads east to Pennington. A mixture
of good and very badly worn macadam
is found going south on the main route
from FlemingtoF to Pennington. Turn
ing east to Princeton, the roads as a
whole are good. The road from Free
hold to Hightstown is reported very
bad.
On Washington Avenue, crossing the
lake, turning left and then right
through Plainsboro to Cranbury, the
read is in very bad condition-one mass

straight ahead on Washington Avenue

''EcOnOmizers" Are
Sometimes Moth Balls

Motorists are warned against so
called "gasolinc economi7ers' IN a re-
port just issued by the National Vigi-
lance Committee of the Associated Ad-
vertising Clubs of the World, which
declares such ''economizers" have nc
effect upon gasoline efficiency. but are
in reality, nothing more than colored
moth balls.
The report quotes the United States
Bureau OF Standards at " aehinetnu
with the statement that these moth
ball economizers have no appreciate
effect in giving gasoline more "pep,
and explains that testimonial letters
used by many manufacturers of such
tablets result from the fact that along
with the tablets the maker sends in
structions concerning the adjustment
of the gasoline supply for the motor
1t is we'll known fact, says the report
that most motorists use richer mix
ture of gasoline than is really neces-
sary for the proper operation Of the
engine, using such mixture because

Hapny Family Reunion

Frank W. Guild was one of the hap
piest men in the city last Sunday
when a family reunion occurred at
the Guild home on Millard street.
Frank says it was the first time he
and his family of boys and their
wives were ever together in a happy
reunion Guy Warne, a son. from
Saginaw, was present and the getting
together was in his honor. He was
in the recent war and the family had
not seen him since returning from
service. A big dinner was served, in
charge of Mrs. Guild, who is an ex-
pert in cooking. The other sons were
Alva Guild and Roy Guild and their
families. Friends of the family
dropped in during the day and made
the day doubly pleasant by their
visit.
