BIG IMPROVEMENTS
IN NEW WEED CHAINS

Three notable improvements, which
more than double the mileage and
make the attaching and locking of
the chains very easy and absolutely
secure, establish the Weed de Luxe
as the greatest advance in tire
chains since the Weed was invented.
The reinforcing links superimposed
on the main cross chains prevent
breaking from excessive strains, in
crease traction and more than
double the mileage.
The twin lock side chain link Is
smooth on both sides, and with
stands excessive strains from any
angle.
The lever locking connecting hook

little effort, is securely locked with
the pressure of your thumb and re-

son for this precaution Is that in a
new engine all working parts have
been fitted closely and the friction
is high. High engine speed in
creases the amount of heat develop

may overtax the cooling capacity.
This may cause the bearings to
burn. the pistons to sieze, or some
other difficulty. This is the first

miles more-and the afternoon sun

Elmer Apperson climbs behind the
wheel, because, we hear one man
say, he has previously steered trac-

eyes glowing with a confident fire,
climbs up beside him.

life-yes, the very character OF

to be altered as a result. Yet they
hung on the picket fence, half queru-
lous that their placid hours should be
interrupted.
Apperson, behind, the wheel, plays
nervously with several levers. Then
Haynes mods to the men in the road
and they place their shoulders against
the crude body. The thing begins TO

New 122 Cubic Inch Power
Plant to Appear Next Year Is
Causing Much Comment.

LOS ANGELES. July 1.-two
and thirty.two-hundredt by three
and fifty.four-hundredth
That, the merest detail, standing
by itself, means nothing to the peo-
pie, but 1t speaks worlds to automo-
bile manufacturers, and particu-
larly those who are interested in the
building of racing cars. 1t is intro
ducing the latest in racing cars, the
122 cubic motor, the first one heard
Of in California racing circles. Those
are the cylinder dimensions, bore
and stroke of the newest-the Boil
land -Pillaine-of French design and
construction.
Imagine, IL you can, a power plant
that is as small, II not smaller, than
great number of motorcycle en-
gines, and then imagine that same
power plant pushing a racing car
over the speedway at upward of 100
miles an hour. And despite the fact
that southern California racing fans
who have seen the 1873 cubic inch
Jobs perform on the Los Angeles
racing plant at Beverly Hills and on
other California tracks may seem a
Bit dubious as to the possible result,
the manufacturers seem to know
their business.
They were met with the same
doubts not only from the motoring
public, but from racing enthusiasts
who were "in the know" when the
1S3-inch motors were first an
nounced and successfully tried out.
Every Detail Smaller.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
will probably be a long time before
racing fans are given the presenta-
ton bow of one of these small speed
monsters, the first news Of the first
car is interesting. The ROLAND.
Pillaine is basically the same as the
present type of race car save that
IL is much smaller in every detail.
As to exact weight and other de-
tails, nothing is known here. The
motor is of overhead camshaft and
valve construction and eight-in "a
row, and the fans are fairly ac-
quainted with this type of engine.
The cars will weigh, 1t is be.
lieved, in the neighborhood of 1900
pounds, or about 500 to, 900 pounds
less than the 1S3-inch jobs, which
can be taken as an average save
lOI TIC lpul -Sy
tenac jobs, which weigh approx
mately 1850 pounds. The seating
capacity. however, is for but one:
no mechanic will be carried or
needed, save in the pits.
None Made In U. s..
1t is interesting to note, also,
that no American manufactures is
known to have started work on
this type of car, and racing fans,
particularly in the East, have
passed sarcastic comments on the
fact that 1t seems that, as in the
past when a new type of race car
was developed, American manufac.
turers will be idle until few weeks
before the initial appearance OF the
first small cars. This introduction
to American racing fans is expected
to take place some time in 1923,
and presumably at the time of the
Indianapolis classic, for which the
date is unknown as yet.
1t was rumored for time during
1921 that Louis Chevrolet, the we'll
known race car builder, was at
work. on the design for these cars.

Mines, at the request of A. A. A. Of
flcials, The present stocks, on which
figures were compiled at the end OF
the first quarter Of 1922, were S64.-
232, 900 gallons, which was greater
by 20 per cent than for the first quar-
ter of 1921 and 36 per cent greater
than for the first quarter Of 1920.
While the consumption OF gasoline
has increased, 1t showed only per
cent more used in the first quarter

1921, and only 25 per cent more than
the first quarter of 1920. Thus, in

stocks of gasoline are increasing
still more rapidly.
With these figures at hand, II has
