Engineers Devise
Anti Method
OF Numbering Cars
Plan Proposed by Commit
lee of S. A. c. Involves
Stamping Process Said To
Be Most Practical Yet

The Society Of Automotive Engi-
neers, through its engine manufac-
turers' standards committee. have de-
vised a new method of numbering au-
tomobiIc engines to guard against
thefts. 1t Is believed to be the sim
plest, most effective and most practical
system for numbering engines which
has been devised. The new method is
as follows:
The engine Identification number
shall be placed near the top of the
righthand side of the crankcase proper
in position in which it can be read
easily. 1t shall be between two verti-
cal ribs CT beads \. inch wide, 3 inch
high, 3 inches long and 3 inches apart
The surface of the casting between
the ribs shall be left rough as cast
and unpainted even on the finished car
The numbers shall be evenly stamped
in the casting 1-32 inch deep and shall
be Il inch high and of script form
The first digit shall be stamped close
to the lefthand rib and the last digit
shall be followed by large star or
other character 10 prevent adding
digits. A star or other character shall
be stamped mmediately above and
below each number 30 prevent adding
another number. The numbers shall
be stamped twice on each casting to
prevent correcting and errors made
in stamping either number.
May Lower Risk Rates
tx per cent reduction in theft
insurance premiums will result if this
method of mum hering engines is ap-
proved for future passenger-car
models, according to the engineer who
devised it.
Among several suggestions which
were received as means for prevent
ing engine numbers from being
changed were:
Casting a pad of special alloy steel
in the engine crankcase on which the
engine numbers might be stamped.
Casting numbers of an Opaque mate
rial in q cylinder block in such d way
that X-ray photographs would show
the numbers
Casting on a small, thin, brass plate
with edges crimped down one-elght
inch and knurled so as to anchor the
edges securely in the crankcase, the
number being stamped on the brass
plate in the usual way.
The recommendation will be voted
on by the engineers Of practically all
the engine and automobile manufac-
turers at the annual standards meeting

James ]. Hunt Named
Rickenbacker Dealer
Former REQ Distributor Allot-
ted Metropolitan Territory for
Car Which Will Make Dehut

One Of the most important automo-
bile deals closed in months was con-
summsted last week, when the Hunt
Motor Car Company was formed The
new organization is headed by James
j. hunt, formerly general manager and
president Of the REQ Motor Car
Company. of New York, who will dis
tribute the new Rickenbacker car in
the metropolitan territory.
The new product is manufacture d
under the supervision of CAPTAIN Ed
ward Y. RickenbacAer, the American
Ace OF Aces" The car will make its
public debut at the New York Auto,
mobile Show, Grand Central Palace,
January : to Il. 1t is especially at
tractlve III appearance and possesses
some novel features.
Prior 20 his entry into the autonoo-
PIE business, nearly twenty years ago,
Mr.. Hunt was prominent in the bicycle
industry. and to-day he is one Of the
best known figures in the autom otive
word. He resigned from the REQ or
ganlzatlon last summer with the nten-
rlon OF forming new company of his
own After considerable investigation
he reached the conclusion that the
Rickenbacker appeared be the best
proposition available in the medium
priced class, and he entered into nego-
tiations with the manufacturers. Be-
fore allorting the metropolitan terri
tory the Rickenbacker company sought
an organization which would be per
mament III order to afford Ricken-
backer owners good representation and
service.

part OF the 100000 or 100000 own

the part of the 1000 900 who buv new
cars annually, and just bit more
Snougntiulness on the part of the

The Need of Proper Training
This situation places a responsibility
on automobile schools to train students
not only TO repair skillfully and drive
correctly but also to give the other
CHOW on the road fair chance. This
state OF affairs should prompt automo-
phe manutacturers and dealers to do
everything possible toward Safety
FIRST IN the driving of autos. 1t should
encourage garage repair shop and serv-
zee station men to add their influence
IN Dehaif OF reducing accidents. The
pulpit and press can also do much
towards creating the proper sort of
pubic opinion and action.
1t is splendid idea to have enough
gas IN the tank of your machine and
enough oil and water 1t is important
that the tires be inflated, that the en-
glne run and the wheels go round
But 1t is Infinitely more important +ha :
the driver know the speed laws and
rules OF the road, and that he has an
honest desire in his heart to observe
then--ln other words, that he has in
mind the proper valuation of human
life. '''''' {" q

New Oakland Guaranty

The Oakland Motor Car Company an
nounces an unusual guaranty on the
new Oakland Bad models. These cars
are guaranteed against what is known
as "oil pumping" for $4,000 miles, or
not over period of two years The
guaranty is for every original car
purchaser and is given by all Oak
land dealers. The guaranty is re-
markable because it protects the
motorists against any annoyance met
by drivers of cars and because it is
one of the very few performance
guarantees" ever given by an, auto
mobile company. 1t was made possible
by the new and original features of
the Oakland Six motor.

Ne,c Workers Buy Cars
As Christmas Presents

Automobiles are rather expensive
az Christmas gifts, but local deal
ers report many Yuietide sales
based on the age-old incentive to
make some ono glad. The "some
one" is universally conceded to be-
the wife. although there are exccp-
tlons, rs the dealers themselves are
careful TO Doint out. One dealer
says that nine out of ten sales made
at his showrooms during the last
week were Christmas presents.
The success which has come to
attend the Christmas time sales of
motor cars and useful accessories Is
attributed in no small degree to tho
effectiveness of the displays at the
various showrooms. These are quite
in keeping with the most elaborate
holiday exhibitions staged in the
windows and in the interiors of
stores selling other kinds OF mer,
ehandise
Utilities thus arc made as attrsc-
tive as the So-called luxuries, and
there IS not one dealer in a hundred
who will admit to-day that the gas

Haynes Eolatizer

Haynes engineers have recently
achieved notable improvement in the
gasolene engine through development
of the Haynes volatilizer, which has
proved that it can give greater motive
power with less fuel consumption.
Through it's operation the liquid fuel
is broken up into atoms which thor
oughly mix with the air charge, thus
making a gas which is highly volatile
and which gives maximum explosive
force when ignited. An automatic con-
troll. operated by the accclerator or the
throttle, diverts the hot exhaust gas
from its passage around the intake
manifold as the speed Of the motor is
increased and the necessity for arti-
fetal heating of the gasoline and air
charge is decreaSed
