BARNEY LIKED
THAT MARMON
Speed King Would Never
Be Sold" But He Just
Knew a Good Car.
REBUILD SHOW COT HIM
Demonstration by Bert
Gingley Convinced Him
Of Its Merits.
REBUILD SHOW COT HIM

Barney oldheld. the premier speed
king Of America, now president Of
the oldneld Tire Company. cieve-
land. Ohio, has no peer as q Judge
Of tires or motor cars. The other
day he bought q new series Mar
mon-34, and he claims that no one
sold him the car. but that he bought
1t. on HIS own Judgment and i'm
pulse. The story must be told in
its logical order. ..
At the San Francisco automobile
show Barney Oldfield. the speed king
who came out of the West, met Bert
Dingiey. another former racing king
Of the East. 1t was at the Marmon
booth. where Barney was q specta =
tor and Dingley in charge OF the
Marnion motor tear down and re-
build. which has been a feature of
the shows. As a result Of the meet
ing and Dingley's demonstration
Barney Is now looking forward to
the possession of a new series car
as soon as delivery can be obtained.
for in these days even a king must
needs wait in line.
Barney has frequently declared
that he would never, never be sold
by duLOfuOUilc
ager or by any other factory ofiicial.
no matter how great. He might buy
a car he liked, he might, in fact, buy
several at various times, depending
upon how much he needed them. but
he would never. never be sold.
And he lived up to his word. But
after watching Bert Dingley direct
his crew. of mechanics in the tear
down and rebuild demonstration,
Barney stepped up to Dingley and
said:
Bert. I'm going to have one of
those new series Marmons. Your
demonstration sold me. ! sure want
one as soon as you can get delivery
for me, and / want to buy IL from
the man who has proved this car to
me by actual demonstration"
A compliment to Dingley, but also
in fitting tribute to a car that could
win in such a revelation OF its in
ner secrets. Barney knows how
many races have been lost through
time wasted in making adjustments
and repairs on inaccessible motors.

PLANS MOTOR
TRUCK DEPICTS
President Of Company
Favors Organization of
Haulage Interests.
TOLEDO LEADS OFF
Has Established Station
Solely for Automobile
I Freight.

Further evidence Of the proved
practicability of the motor truck
express is disclosed In the estab-
hshment in Toledo, Ohio, of a union
depot solely for motor truck freight.
An organization of independent
trucking concerns. founded q year
ago for the development of inter-
city motor transportation, Is respon-
sfble for this innovation. Business
has grown so rapidly within the
course of the year that the building
of a station In the heart of the city
was made necessary to facilitate
shipping. This building is a modern
structure of two floors and base
ment. The equipment will include
electric elevators and other machln-
cry which will aid in the speedy
handling of freight.
Sees Growth of Idea.
According to E. A. Williams, jr.,
president of the Garford Motor
Truck Company, who some time ago
urged the systematic organization
of motor truck interests. such
depots soon will be established IN
all trade centers.
The rapid development of the
motor truck express in various COM
munities will result shortly in a
network of routes extending over
the country" says Mr.. Williams.
with the amalgamation of truck
ing interests and the improvement
Of the highways. this system will
become q great factor in the na-
Son's transportation.

In a certain waste in transportation
IA loss OF tonnage hauled. Natur-
lily this results in increased costs.
The creation of highway transpor-
tation commissions in various States
Ind the organization of transporta-
don bureaus in cities has resulted
IN the elimination of much of this
capacity waste.
All Cargoes Insured.
'"All cargoes are insured by the
association from the time they are
placed aboard the truck at the ship
per's place of business until they
are delivered at their destination.
with the organization of these
associations in several more of the
large centers as now contemplated.
the motor truck express system In
the Central States will be practi-
cally complete. There seems little
doubt that il will then spread rapid
lly to other sections and eventually
throughout the country"

To Eteh Initials on Car.

II you want to have your initials
on the doors of your car. etch them
yourself. Mix half an ounce Of nj
trio with an ounce of muriatic acid.
Shake well just before using. Cover
the place to be etched with melted
beeswax and when this is cold cut
initials as desired clear down to the
metal. Apply the acid mixture with
4 feather carefully filling each let
ter. After 10 minutes pour water
on II. This stops the etching and
the wax may be removed.

A. In the first place spark plugs

rated according to horsepower, and
though some plugs are better than
others, I think you will find little
difference in power by changing

the spark gaps properly set.

Oily Brake Bands.

Very often oil leaks through the
axle tubes from the dinerential
housing and gets on the brake
bands, making il impossible for the
friction surface to grip the metal
drums when the brake pedal Is de-
pressed. To remedy the trouble tenn
porarily. pour little kerosene on
the bands, as this cuts the grease.
To. cure the trouble install new felt
washers to prevent the oil getting
through the axle tubes.

Detroit, April lo.-Inereases in the

Gently, is the forerunner of gen

quent.
First came the coal strike. Then
the shortage of freight cars, which
not only retarded the arrival Of
|much-needed material and parts, but
precluded the shipment Of the fin
ished product, so that thousands OF
cars were stocked In all available
places throughout the city. At the
Michigan State fair grounds, on the
outskirts of the city, there are some
10, 900 automobiles partially protect
ed with canvas covering awaiting
shipment or driveaway.
Although hundreds Of cars are be-
ing driven from Detroit every day
despite the bad weather and almost
impossible roads, the accumulation
grows. This condition Is not strange
WREN the tremendous daily produc-
tion of Detroit's auto factories Is
considered. The Ford plant at pres
ent Is turning out more than $500
cars daily in accordance with a
production schedule OF 100000 for
the current fiscal year. The pro-
duction Of Dodge cars Is better than
SIC daily, with the Maxwell, Chal-
mcrs, Hudson. Essex and all others
Istraining their utmost to meet the
demand for their products.

SIDE CARS TO CARRY
AUTOISTS' FIRST AID

London. April 1o.-Tne Aptomo-
bile Association and Motor Union of
Great Britain has learned Q lesson
from the war which is expected to
be of unlimited value to the English
motorists. 1t Is the use Of motor
cycles with side cars to aid auto
mobiles In Distress
The side car contains all appli-
ances that might be needed for first
aid In case of automobile accidents.
The auto association has several OF
these first aid cyclists on the high
ways of England and in large cities
and towns. All that 10 needed 10 to
call UP the nearest first aid station
and a cyelist win reach the scene
with the needed gallon OF gasoline
or tools to fit up the car enough to
bring 1t to the nearest garage for
complete repairs.

Popping Back.

a backfire or slight popping back
through the carbureter may USUALLY
be accepted as a sign Of insufficient
intake valve tappet clearance. When
the intake does not close the burn
ing charge escapes through the
valve and ignites the incoming
charge OF the manifold. Loss OF
compression causes loss. of power
and the gas blown back deranges
the carburetion momentarily.

Rain Vision Windshield.

1t is a simple matter to give an,
touring car q clear vision wind
shield, which is not generally in
cluded in the equipment of the oper
car. The upper section of the wind
shield is simply mounted on the toI
by means OF brackets that hold tn,
part out at the desired angle. II
this way the upper half OF the shielc
keeps of the rain. while the lower
half protects the driver from tn,

Limits of Compression.

One of the favorite winter sport:
Of the speed bug is to tinker with
his engine, trying to increase its
compression. 1t will be well fol
the enthusiast to remember that
when the compression is placed toe
high the mixture will be ignited
before the proper part of the cycle
due to the heat engendered by COM
preston added to the heat absorbed
from the metal parts.
