NONEDUCATOR
BEST ON BOARD,
SAYS SPEAKER
Assistant School Head
Says Criticism Is
Essential.

1t would be worse than a calamity
to abolish the Board of Education
and put the direction of the public
schools in the hands exclusively Of
technical educators, according to
Stephen E. Kramer, assistant super
Intendent of public schools. who ad-
dressed the education group of the
City Club at a meeting Thursday
night at the clubhouse.
THE public schools belong to the
people" said Kramer. and be-
lieye the public should have very
| decided voice in determining the
kind of education that shall be fur
nished. 1 believe in educating the
children the way the public wants
them educated.
Noncxperts Needed.
THE Board of Education fur
nishes a contact between the gem
eral public and the trained technical
educators at the head of the school
system. In my thirty-one years
with the public schools of the Dis
trict l have found that the most
! valuable members of the Board of
Education usually were men who
could not qualify as educational eN-
perts. The most valuable members,
as a rule, are the men with business
experience, good, hard common
sense. broad vision, and a knowl-
edge of what the community wants"
Kramer said that the public
should take a greater interest in
school matters and should become
more insistent in it's demands.
LAS soon as the people really
want something" he said, they
will take steps to see why they
are not getting it. This demand
on the part of the community will
make it easier for the school au-
thorities to bring about many re-
forms that they long have cher
ished but have felt they could not
introduce without full public sup
port.
Better Days Ahead.
Sometimes 1 think that we don't
have enough constructive criticism
of the public school system. Bet
ter days are ahead for the school
system as soon as we have. a SYM
patheticalIy critical public"
He added that the most pressing
need of the schools now is addf-
tionalt housing. Although the city
d has ISL schools, most of them are
only of the .eight-foom type, and
the oyercrowding has reached Sc
rious stage. He said the need was
for larger schools. At present, he
said, the city really had too many
small-capacity schools.

Dawes to Visit.
Harding also stated tfat Charles

Hughes was among the first OF

then that he could have the job II
he wanted it.
Much pressure was Immediately
exerted on Harding in favor ol
Root, but Harding had, even before

Iclude Root in his Cabinet.
The statement issued by Hughes
Nafter his conference with Harding

KENYON TIRES ARE
MADE IN BROOKLYN
Big Home Industry for Auto
mobilists Developed by Well
Known Company.

Kenyon cord tires, made in Brook
lyn, have now been on the market for
nearly a year. Those who have used
them are enthusiastic about the pat
ented Kenyon tread and its non-skid
qualities. 1t sacrifices none of the
strength of the tire causes no unwel-
come sound or vibration and yet It's
buttressed, reinforced and rectangular
tread not only affords twice the ordinary
road service and possibly twice the wear,
but also guarantees perfect security.
For instance. Ira Van. the celebrated
speed king. won the Eastern dirt track
championship during 1920. getting twen-
ty-two out of twenty-six firsts on one
set OF Kenyon cord stock tires. When
he finished. the original Brooklyn air
was still in them. In other words, It
had not been necessary to take them off
the rims This contrasts sharply with
most racers. who use special tires and
generally put on a new set for every
race.
He repeated, when he won the worlds
dirt track championship on Dec. 28. 1920.

stop. and when he finished the tires
were mot worn at all": in fact. he
wired he would use them for the next
race.
match on a dirt track, Ira Vail again
defeated Eddie Hearne. driving q Stutz
car, and Tommie Milton, driving Due
senberg. No record time was set due to
cold weather, the actual running time
being 81 minutes
The remarkable thing Is that Ira Vail
used the same set Of Kenyons that he
used two weeks before when he broke
the 100 mile record at Bakersfield. Cal.
and he wound UP by saying In his tele-
gram, These tires still look good"
The c. Kenyon Company operates four
large factories; two at 754-774 Pacific

~ /tIiOOI question the autOmo-
w bile show has revived the mo-
tor car market" says u. w.
voorhis. manager of the Hudson Motor
Car Company Of New York, Inc. 1T
also proves that the period of readJust-
ment is one of building up. not tearing
down. Automobiles will still be de-
manded because time has proven them a
necessity and manufacturers realize the
need of continuous economic production
to take care OF public requirements
when spring buying starts.
The present situation is not viewed
with any alarm by builders of high
grade cars. There is and VIII continue
to be good steady demand for cars of
tho type of Hudson and Essex and for
the products of other builders who have
the same ideal in mind that Hudson and
Essex have always had.
To-day Hudson continues to be one
of the largest selling fine cars in the
world. The company is entering Its
twelfth year. Each milestone has been
distinct record of progress. The great
est achievement. of course. was the adj
vent OF the super six model in 1918
Since that year moro than 100000 have
been sold. There have been no radical
changes since then, but every model has
shown greater refinements, a steady
working toward the maximum of service
and reliability"

Kerosene and Carbon.

Kerosene will not dissolve carbon. tra-
dition to the contrary, but a little kero-
sene put into the cylinders may loosen
the carbon. II breaks up the caked
deposits, which may then partially be
blown out OF the exhaust. The method
Of using the kerosene Is as follows:
About a tablespoonful OF the Kerosene
Is poured into the combustion chamber
while the engine Is hot. The engine Is
then allowed to stand for about twelve
hours when an eighth glass Of kerosene
Is fed into the air valve OF the carbu-
rotor with the engine running and the
throttle well open. Feed tho Kerosene
slowly and the engine sucks II In.

AN UNUSUAL CUSHION TIRE.
Lambert Tire Chief Describes It's
Unique Construction.

PERSONALLY l cannot see anything but
a largo and satisfactory demand for
good tires in the immediate future. II
is my observation, and dealers and DIS
tributers everywhere have been noting
the same thing for a number OF weeks
now, that surprisingly large number
OF motorists are carrying no spares on
their machines. This means two things:
First, automobile and truck owners have
been holding off on account of falling
prices, and second, that they cannot hold
off much longer The stabilization of
prices from this angle will bring big
spring dating generally"
This Is the opinion of ]. G. Coyle OF
1172 Bedford avenue. Coyle is president
Of the Lambert Trublpruf Tire Company
and a close student of market conditions
in the rubber industry.
"This Is only one Of many signs which
point to an increased demand In 1921"
no adds. I'VE ourselves are expecting a
large volume OF business here, as are
officials at the factory in Akron. Pro-
duction is increasing there and the man
ufacture of additional sizes is being en-
tered upon. New distributors are send
ing In contracts almost daily.
"The Trublpruf tire Is somewhat
unique, but scientifically constructed and
in no sense a freak. The claim is made
that the uninitiated passenger cannot
tell the difference between its riding
qualities and those Of the air filled
product, yet our tire cannot puncture or
blow out.

holes running horizontally. One of the
chief advantages resulting from this ar

PAIGE "6-66" BREAKS RECORDS
Speed and Hill Climbing Ability
Are Proved.

Climbing Miller avenue hill has been
the topic of conversation between auto
mobile statesmen and their prospective
customers since the inception of the
automobile in Brooklyn, or rather since
the time that manufacturers and their
dealers have assured themselves that
their product would run Climbing this
hill in high gear has in latter years been
the Anal test in demonstrations. For
the benefit of those who are unfamiliar
with this playground OF automobile
demonstrators 1t may be stated that the
Miller avenue hill Is but ESQ feet long
and runs UP grade from Jamaica avenue
to Highland Boulevard and has a grade
of 1515 per cent. 1t IS impossible to get
n start at it's base. as Jamaica avenue
is the scene of very heavy street car
and vehciular traffic at most times OF
the day. With these facts In mind II
can be understood why this grade was
picked by c. ]. Maxson. president of the
Maxson-Richardson Corporation, to test
the hill climbing ability of the Paige
6-6s. This same model, It will be re-
membered, with Ralph Mulford at the
wheel had recently broken the worlds
record for speed at Daytona, Fla; that
a standard stock touring car OF this
model climbed the Pixies Peak Cog
Railroad, nine miles of almost impos-
sible grades over ties. cattle guards,
trestles and switches without mishap,
and that another car Of this model holds
the 1920 record--20 minutes 81 rs
seconds-for the fastest time to the
summit OF the Peak over the motor
highway.
So the local distributors wished to
test II out on hills here. They selected
Richardson Webster, former Register
of Kings county, and the automobile
editors OF the Brooklyn newspapers as
Observers and proceeded to establish
what would seem TO be record for
stock car hill climbing. The car.
seven passenger touring, with the OBJ
server and driver took the hill in high
gear, going over the top at thirty-four
miles an hour. To make the test COM
plete they then journeyed to Snake Hill.
which was so named because OF the two
very sharp turns encountered in nego-
tiating II, and reached its crest at fifty
miles an hour. Motorists who are in
doubt as to the hill climbing capabilities
OF their cars will find testing them over
this course a good standard by which to
measure their power before the opening
of tho heavy touring season.

GanLANp IS An OPrIsusr.

II was decidedly welcome the other after
noon in an interview with George w. Gar
land, who handles the Velie, to find him In
a distinctly optimistic mood. Everybody
along automobile row knows George w. Gar
land rs a conservative and accurate student
Of automobile business affairs. Ono incl
dent that he mentioned showed the firm
foundation on which HIS optimism Is founded.
Some weeks ago the Velie company announced
an increase in price within short time.
Garland took the opportunity to tell his
dealers and urge them to get as much Of
their allotment they could before the price
increase went into effect. They responded
with enthusiasm. with the result that the
demand could not be fully supplied. Some
Of the dealers did not get all the cars they
wanted at the old price. But without excep-
tion these disappointed tradeFmen continued
their orders at the new price. That Is a
crete form. The business OF the Garland
company IL running just under last year.
and George Garland affirms that 1921 is
going to be satisfactory year. even II It is
not q record breaker.

STANDS BEHIND THE CAR.
l.. A. ID. Organization Helps to
Maintain Nash Prestige.

There is no question but that good
product backed by a service policy that
is sincere will find its reward In the
permanency and steady growth of any
business" says George G. Lewis, presi-
dent of the l.. A d. Motor Corporation,
Brooklyn distributor for Nash products.
This Is true no matter what line Of
merchandise man may handle, for the
success of any business is measured by
the confidence the public reposes In It
'I do not believe there is man con-
nected with the L. A. d. organization
who is not keenly interested IN owners
Of Nash passenger cars and trucks. Be
cause OF this spirit service with our or
ganization rather than being on an i'm
personal basis is decidedly a matter OF
personal interest Courteous, prompt and
willing attention is accorded the Nash
owner. with the knowledge on our part
that he Is entitled as a matter OF friend
ship as well as of good business to our
full cooperation whenever 1t may be re-
quired.
Our organization is built UP of men
who have had the best kind Of training
in the automobile business their knowl-
edge OF the Nash product Is supple
mented by familiarity with the service
principles OF the Nash Motors Company
itself.
Looking at the matter OF service
from the standpoint of good business.
we know that a man whose require
ments are properly and promptly cared
for will be very much inclined to come
to US again when he is in the market
for another car and that he will
earnestly advise his friends to come to
US. This applies also to purchasers OF
used cars. for our service policy on these
is exactly in keeping with that on new
cars.
1T has been very gratifying indeed 70
see our business grow. and It is equally
gratifying to meet among our custom
ers those who have expressed their con-
fidence in the Nash product and In our
service facilities by coming to us again
and again with repeat orders. That. to
me. IS the most gratifying thing about
this business, which we have labored
so earnestly to build up on the basis OF
fair dealing. II is mute evidence Of the
fact that the public has confidence in a
good product backed by good service"

cess OF 1880 revolutions per minute.
Engines run smoother, due TO bet
ter balance OF rotating and reciprocal
ing parts; fuel economy has been bet
tered, owing to closer study of feed
ing the gaseous mixture: cooling Is i'm
proved: fabrication is better by a re-
marlxable degree. while ignition has
undergone little If any change.
There has been noticeable gain on
L-head engines and a comparative loss
In overhead-valve types; the disk and
plate clutches have again scored
gain: the unit power plant construc-
tion has lost ground. together with the
floating axle. Chassis and body detail
show many changes for the better.
surprise is in store for those who
have not closely watched the four
cylinder engine, for 1t has made gain
of about per cent. against compara-
tive loss for the 6-cylinder. Tho g.
cylinder has gained slightly and the
12 has lost ground. This has been
brought about by the Increased num-
Der of manufacturers. many OF whom
selected the 4-cylinder engine.
Engines this year are much better,
due especially TO two things-better
fabrication and better balance. Ma
terials have been improved and work
manship bettered. because these have
bearing on engine balance. Crank
shafts as whole are heavier and
sitter, because it has been found that
the sitter the shaft the less the tend
ency to distortion. 1t is this distortion
which upsets the shaft balance.
Something About the CranLshaft.
Many engines this year have crank
shafts OF better materials and slightly
greater in diameter, with the bearings
supporting the shaft larger, and in
many cases the number OF bearings
have been increased. because of recog-
milton OF the fact that the greater the
number OF supports for the shaft the
less the tendency for the shaft to get
out Of alignment.
In the 1921 cars there are fewer high
pressure oiling systems and more hav-
ing pressure combined with splash or
spray. Oil screens have been improved.
their removal made easier in many cases
though still lacking in others.
Little attention has been given to the
electrical equipment. 1t Is admitted the
battery system is simple and understood
by nearly every owner. but the starting
and lighting systems and the maze of
wires and connections are not. When
something goes wrong electrically the
average owner must find some one who
understands. Electrical education is
what is needed ii the present systems
are to be continued.
