!, A GROWING FIELD

iThe July l. 1921, automobile reg
issration figures show that there
ware in use at that time. s,257,575
cars and trucks. The 1921 figures
show a substantial gain over the
corresponding period of last year,
The actual gain is 1,354,4s7. an in
crease OF 1880 per cent One out
%. every lila persons in the United
states owns, drives or uses an auto
Mobile or truck.
~These figures prove conclusively
that most concerted cooperation Is
NECESSARY between the distributor
and the banker. il the banker is
vitality interested in the prosperity
Of, the country as a whole. and es-
pecially interested in the locality
IN, which he does business. There
fore, when the banker and distribu-
tor coordinate their efforts, and
work in common toward the inter-
ests of their own personal welfare
and that OF their community. bene-
fetal results are sure to accrue.
The use of the automobile has
benefited business generally and
statistics verify the statement that
the busiest communities are well
motorized. 1t was E. c. Stokes
the former governor of New Jersey
who is now president of the Me-
chanics National Bank. of Trenton,
who said that 1t might be we'll to
call the attention of the banking fra
ternity to the Importance of the au-
tomobile, not only as a factor in the
NECESSARY transportation facilities
Of the country. but as a contributor
to one of the largest of our indus
tries and promoter to the happi-
ness and morals of the people.
All bankers should have the same
belief in the automobile as is ex-
pressed by Mr.. Stokes, and every
banker should consider the automo-
tive industry as one Of the biggest

MOTOR COMPANY
BUILDS TRACTORS

One Of the interesting developments
of the past month in the automotive
field is, the entrance of the Haynes
interests into the tractor field. The
industry became aware of this de-
velopment through the formation OF
the Haynes Tractor Company with
Elwood Haynes as president. The new
tractor company has acquired by pur-
chase the patents, designs and
equipment of the Holton Tractor
Company of Indianapolis, which will
be removed to Kokomo to the hon"
plant of the Haynes organization.

Q. Is there a great advantage in
the modern automobile air-cooied
engine?
A. Modern practice in design in
dicates what We think best Of.
There seems to be no particular ad-
vantage In air-cooied engines. The
great majority Of aeropIane. tractor
and automobile engines are water
cooled.
n on inspecting the Interior OF
your engine water jacket you find
IA white deposit formed there, here
Is how to remedy the trouble. First
estimate the capacity Of your water
system by measuring the drained
volume OF water. You viii have To
make up a solution of the same
number Of gallons in order 10 COM
pletely NIL the system. The pro-
half pounds OF caustic soda to the
gallon Of water. Pour this mixture
into the water system. and MI IL TO
the top. Allow TO stand for four
hours, Drain IL of, and flush out
sySfem for at least twenty minutes
with clear water from a hose You
will md that the soda has dissolved
the white deposit, leaving the in
terror fresh and clean. Try not to
use hard water. for this forms the
white lime deposit.
Did you ever have an engine
which was hard to start when hot ?
This Is due to a poor fitting Of pis-
tons and piston rings. When the
engine heats up and the oil thins
out, there is excessive blow by" II
the cylinders. Warped valves and
uneven heating and cooling OF the
water Jacket will cause the same
trouble. Usually heavy prImins
will start such an engine.
II you want to give the old bus
some more pep. having a prospec-
tive buyer. II is not unethicaI to
put on two cylinderhead baskets
increasing in this manner the COM
bustion chamber space. You will
find that such will give a great deal
OF added power and also use more
fuel
II you have a strong affection for
your old car. and think enough OF
IT to keep il of the scrap heap. n
good job of cylinder reboring will
lengthen its life by several years
The average reboring job COST
about $I2 per cylinder. and with the
addition of new pistons and rings
fitted oversize in a shop where the
job will be done right. you can ex-
pect as good performance out Of
your car as it gave the first year
or so of its existence. A second
reboring in most cars is precarious.
because of the thinning of the cyl
inder walls beyond their power Of
resistance to pressure from within;
however. some such jobs include the
fitting OF an inner cylinder sleeve,
where the first cost of the car war
rants the expenditure.

Stowe Ciyics Club

Thirty one men were present at the ban
quet and annual meeting of the Stowe
Civics club at the Green Mountain Inn on
Thursday evening. An oyster supper was
served.
The meeting was called to order by the
vice president, H. E Pike. The club re-
organized by electing officers as follows:-
President, Harold c. Mcmahon; vice pres
ident, Elton B Forbes; treasurer. C. O.
Burt; secretary, W. A. Knight; directors,
H. E. Shaw, J. c. Morgan, C. E. Hay.

measures toward Introducing into the Leg
islature bill prohibiting the taking away
for commercial purposes of therare plants
Of Mt. Mansfield and vicinity.
The QUESTIONABLE on the State highway
policy sent out by the Greater Vermont
association was discussed and it was voted
that tho club go on record as favoring the
expenditures of federal aid on trunk high
ways, and using the town highway funds
on the back roads; and that the club fav-
ors having one State highway commission
er instead of State highway board. In
answer to letter from Representative
Mckinley asking if the town would favor
improving Harlow Hill on the road to
Mt. Mansfield and Smugglers Notch or
would favor changing the road to the
Bingham falls route. the club voted in
favor of improving Harlow Hill on the
grounds that while the Bingham Falls
route is more scenic and Of easier grade
the cost Of building road there would be
almost prohibitory.
The president was authorized to adver-
tise Stowe. A meeting will be held on the
evening Of the Goth when the subject of
advertising the town will be taken up.
