THE MILD WINTER
WEATHER HAS KEPT
MOTOR CARS MOVING

As a result of unusually mild
weather throughout the country
this winter, approximately 3,000,-
900 more passenger cars and
trucks are in service than were be-
ing used year ago, according to
reports sent in to the Travel and
Transport Bureau of the b, Il.
Goodrich Rubber company.
Many northern states which are
usually snowbound during several
months of the year have had only
a few light snow falls so far this
winter and auto traffic has never
been impeded. The result has been
that thousands Of motorists who
formerly stored their machines at
the first sign of King Winter have
kept them continuously in use.
The best indication of the in
creased use of autos is given by re
ports obtained by the Goodrich
bureau from gasoline distributing
companies in widely separated sec
tons. The reports show that gas
| oline' consumption this winter in
northern states it at least $50 per
! cent greater than last year many
cities showing Increases ranging
as high as 400 or 500 per cent.
The largest gains in gasoline
consumption were shown by cities
in northern Michigan and in states
along the Canadian border which
usually are snowbound from fall
TO spring. No section of the cOun-
try reported an increase Of less
than 80 ner cent.
Reliable estimates placed the
number of cars in use last winter
which was unusually severe--at
100000 This year it can be con-
serVatively estimated that at least
100000 are in service. Part of
the increase can be attributed to
the larger number Of cars owned, |
but the favorable motoring wealth |
er is Of course the greatest factor !
Tire manufacturers predict that !
this increased use of cars will have |
an appreciate effect upon the de- |
mand for tires next spring, and |
that an actual shortage may occur
as a result.

GALLONS OF GASOLINE
ARE WASTED THROUGH
FAULTY ADJUSTMENTS

That of every gallon Of gasoline
used in motor car nearly 80 per
cent is wasted through faulty car
buretor adjustment resulting in i'm
perfect combustion, is one of the
startling conclusions derived from
exhaustive tests of the compost
ton of automobile exhaust gases
by three of the prominent chemists
of the United States Bureau of
Mines, working in cooperation
with the New York and New Jer-
sey State Bridge and Tunnel COM
missions for the purpose of deter
mining engineering facts in con-
nection with the ventilation of We
hicular tunnels. ..,.
A. c. F'ieldner, A. A. Straub and
G. w. Jones, members of the Pitts
burgh experiment station, United
States Bureau of Mines, who con-
Quoted these experiments, stated
that careful carburetor adjust
ments should result in saving half
this amount. They asserted that
the great majority of motor cars
and trucks are operated on rich
ou1tiDiC Ibi
power but very wasteful from the
standpoint of gasoline economy.
They said that the average motor
car carburetor is set for winter
operation and is not changed in
summer.
They urged that the public
should be impressed with the saw
ing in gasoline resulting from the
use Of lean mixtures, and suggest
ed the general installation of a
small gas sampling tube in the ex-
haust pipe of motors, especially
trucks and vehicles used by taxi
cab and trucking companies for
the purpose of securing carbon
dioXide determinations, thereby
making proper carburetor adjust
ment possible. They pointed out
that such companies could we'll af-
ford to employ a chemist to make
regular control tests, and that the
results of such practice would
be great economy in operation and
saving of gasoline. ....

OVERLAND is USED
IN JAPAN'S FIRST
NONSTOP CAR RUN

An overland Touring car has the
distinction of being selected for the
first nonstop motor car run ever
held in Japan.
This car, furnished by the Shima
Automobile company, Limited. re-
Gently left Shimonoseki at the
western end of the main island and
was driven to Aomori at the north
eastern end, a total distance OF
1873 miles. ......
The run was made in 1876 hours
and 40 minutes. This time inelud-
ed so hours and As minutes in stop
overs for entertainments along the
route, so that the acplal driving
time was 1913 hours and SO MIN
utes.
No attempts were made for
speed. 1t was intended to demon
strate the remarkable durability
and reliability of the Overland
touring car with TripleX Spring
suspension. The run was support
ed by the Osaka Mainichi Shinbun
and ito sister newspaper, the foxy
on Nichi-Nichi Shinbun, the largest
and most Influential newspapers
of Japan.
OF greater significance, however
was the deep interest in the run OF
officers of Japan's army motor
corps. Officers accompanied the
car throughout the journey This
interest in the run was at such a
high pitch that to quote from the
report of the trip: From Tokyo,
headquarters of the Army Motor
corps, Major Mizutani accompanied
Us. BY his personal ride in the
Overland, Major Mizutani scrutt-
nized the car and highly recon-
mended it's riding qualities"
The report says, This unprece-
denied Overland journey aroused
considerable excitement through
out Japan and we were welcomed
at many cities and towns"
The trip was heralded as nom
stop run, but the hospitality of the
people along the way was too
much for the drivers, as the re-
port says: I'VE were served with

DEM 0UNTABLE RIM
IS OF GREAT VALUE
TO FORD OWNERS

AT some time or other most Ford
owners have had the unpleasant
experience of having a tire blow
out when they were either in a
hurry or had a crowd with Them
and it was necessary to make a
tire change which took from Is
minutes to half an hour. Natural
~ the owner felt peeVed if he was
IN hurry, or embarrassed if there
was a party with him. There is
one sure remedy for such a pre-
dicamcnt in demountable rims ac-
cording to Cortez Quickel, of the
Quickel Auto and Supply company.
The point of economy also plays
an important part when demount-
able rims are used. 1t is a well
known fact that the tires on the
rear wheels wear out first, because
of skidding and more weight being
thrown upon them. Most motor
lists realize this, but simply will
not take the trouble to change the
front tires to the rear whenever
the rear tires show signs of wear,
thus putting the best tires where
they belong and the weaker ones
in front, so they will receive the
lesser wear. This, of course, gives
greater increased mileage out of
every tire, q feature which should
not be overlooked.
When a Ford is equipped with
demountable rims changing is a
very simple matter, for all that is
necessary is to loosen the bolts and
then change the rims from wheel
to wheel, q task of only few min
utes. Also, if puncture or blow
out occurs when a spare tire is car
ried behind on a demountable rim.
one can always change the tire in
fast time and thus eliminate I'M
pleasant ande tedious delay of
changing the tube, taking the
casing off, inserting new tube
and pumping the tire up again"
