Why an automobile skids IS OF
interest to a motorist, but what
20 do to prevent skidding and
what to do when the car is skid
ding are equally important topics.
The main cause of skidding of
rear wheels of motor cars is due
TO the action of the brakes op-
Grating through the rear wheels.
Skidding, of course, occurs nor
mally only when the roads are
shppery.
An automobile wheel rotates
and progresses over the highway
in but one direction or plane.
This direction for the rear
wheels is determined by the
front wheels under control of
the driver. While the rear
wheels grip the ground and ro-
tate they control the direction
of the car. However, as soon as
the rear wheels are locked by the
brakes they begin TO slide and
as they slide sidewise practically
as easy ms forward, they lose the
power to direct the car.
1t takes comparatively little
brake friction to lock and slide
rear wheels on slippery roads be
cause there is little friction be-
tween the tire and the road sur
face. When once The driving
wheels begin 10 slip the car is
kept in motion by the force Of
inertia acting at the cars center
Of gravity or mass. This forward
motion is opposed by the resist
ance of all four wheels on the
ground a resistance that Is great
es in the rotating front wheels
than in the sliding rear wheels.
Unless the combined ground re-
sistance of all wheels, tending to
stop the car, acts on the same
point as the force of inertia,
tending to carry the car forward,
there results what is called q
''force couple" which causes the
car to skid or spin around.
After the wheels once start TO
SLIP q very small "force couple"
will produce skidding, and the
skid distance is dependent upon
the magnitude of the force
couple" which IN turn depends
on car speed and weight. Turn
ing the front wheels in the direc-
tion of the rear wheel skid,
helps to reduce skidding because
it, reduces the magnitude of the
''force couple" Also periodically
releasing and re-applying of the
brake so the rear wheels can get
a. grip, offsets forward slip and
side slip.
sTwo means are employed TO
prevent skidding in motor We
hices. the use of non-skid or
rdugh tread tires and of anti
skid chains. Non-skid tires are
designed to give forward traction
add to prevent side slip. AS long

GAS TRAIL
sslants From the Automotive
Field

"a weak clutch spring can be
repaired temporarily by placing
washers under it.
tAccording to Firestone statis-
tieians. there are about 12,500,000
automobiles registered in the
world.
1T is said that at least five
billion gallons of gasoline will be
produced in the United States
Tits year.
vshicle registration was 10,620,-
7x1. This is an increase OF 49,
196 over 1921.
sExperience has taught that one
OF the best ways to save gaso-
lipe on the road is to keep the
spark we'll advanced.
sIceland is reported as having
for-bidden the importation of au-
tornobiles. Lack of roads is said
to be the reason given.
Three years ago Alaska had
only 1900 automobiles, according
to Firestone statisticians. Now
there are more than 1000.
The automobile industry is the
fourth largest customer Of the
railroads, shipping $4,000 car
loads of freight during the past
year.
There is now little question
that 1922 will be another 2,000,-
900 car year This figure has
been exceeded only by the output
in 1920.
Don't be afraid to give your
tires enough air. Follow the di-
rections given on the side wall
Of each casing and you'll save
tire money.
In so large cities of the United
United States there are nearly
1876, ,000 suburbanites mainly de-
pendent on the automobile for
trAvel to town or office.
When stalled in a sandy or
slippery spot, wrap a piece of
burlap, or any kind Of rag, or
even coarse grass, around the
wheels TO prevent spinning.
1T is better TO ride on the rim,
when a tire goes bad, than on the
felloe band, If you have no tire
to replace 1t. I'elloe bands are
thin and expensive to repair.
South Africa's motorcycle bus
1ness continues good, according to
Vice Consul Cawston, Capetown.
High prices are reported as hold
ing back the automobile there.
Many French automobiles are
now equipped with four-wheel
disc brakes, according to a Fire
stone representative who attend
ed the recent Paris exposition.
Automobile fire insurance COM
pauies, last year, paid out nearly
$9.500,000 for motor cars de-
= stroyed by fire. most Of them
due to carelessness on the part of
tho owners.

CANTALOUPES COMING THRU
First Special Train Expected Over r.
l. Tonight or Sunday.

Sixteen carloads of cantaloupes
from the California Imperial valley
passed thru Topeka this morning over
the Rock Island bound for the east
ern markets. and the first special train
of the melons is expected to pass thru
tonight or Sunday over the same road
Beginning the first of the week, the
shipments are expected to increase
rapidly until it will require several
special trains daily to- handle them
The Rock Island is looking forward
10 the m ovemeut of about II, 600 cars
this season, which will be an increase
of 1000 cars over last year. The
yield is no better this year, but the
acreage is larger, it is said.
Every car of melons must be iced at
Topeka. For that reason, the Rock
Islands icing crew at this place has
been increased from two to about
twenty men, and force of one hun
dred men will be needed by the time
the catalogue movement reaches its
peak.
The Santa Fe is also moving con-
siderable cantaloupes from Arizona
and Texas. according to J. r. Koontz,
assistant freight traffic manager, but
the big cantaloupe movement over
that line will not occur until the
Rocky Ford crop is ready in August.

and value are practically the same
as that of the pure cider vinegar The
same elements are rendered from 1t.
And. the pomace which comes in from
the other factories is the source of the
five tank cars of vinegar which are

Then the other product-the pectin-

Used in Making Jelly.
After that is done, the patented
process commences, and the pectin is
mixed with fruit acids in powdered
form and with sugar. Then 1t be-
comes an agent for making quickly,
easily and cheaply, jelly from the juice
of any fruit. In that form it is shipped
to all parts of the United States. to
commercial manufacturers of jellies
and preserves.
One of the biggest customers of the
company is the Pennsylvania Sugar
company which puts up the pectin in
a compound known as Pen-Jel. Pen
Jel has just been placed on the local
market. Its function is to empower
the housewife, with the aid of a. small
package of it, to make her own jellies.
at a cost not exceeding six cents for a
ten-ounce glass, in fifteen or twenty
minutes. and from any fruit juice
which she has at hand.
The fine italian hand of the old
time expert cook, who was noted thru
all her neighborhood for her power to
make jelly when all the other house
wives We're in despair, producing gooey,
runny messes which tasted all right
but simply wouldn't jel," has been
topped. Pen-Jel will make jelly of
anything in the fruit line, or by itself.
One Car Load Worth $64,O 900.
1t was the Pennsylvania Sugar COM
pany, making Pe1-Jel by the Leo pro-
cess, which was the consignee of the
$4,000 carload of pectin last month.
So much Tor the vinegar and the
pectin, the two products of the pom
ace which was first a nuisance, then
a by-product, then raw material.
But its biography is not yet COM
plete. In the course of the process,
there is produced at the Leo-Green-
valid plant in Topeka enough carbonic
acid gas to impregnate all the soft
drinks from all the soda fountains,
and all the bottled, sparkling drinks,
which Topeka consumes. But the car
bonic acid gas is now permitted to es-
