Month Was a Busy One.

An average of better than a car

Olds Engineers Find
New Way of Testing
Transmission Gears

A new method of calculating the
strength of transmission and differen-
tial gears by mathematical equations
has been discovered by the engineers
of the Odds Motor Works, Lansing,
Mich.
1t is claimed that the practice now
in vogue i'll every automobile factory
in the country, of testing gears for
their strength by a bending and weight
process is not a fair test. This, it is
said. can be accomplished by the com
paratively simple process of hardening
the gears, but these tests will not give
the builders of motor cars'a really fair
conception of what wear and strain
they will stand when they are actually
in use in a car.
1t has now been found that 1t can
be accurately calculated just what the
effect on gears will be by the use of
equations.
This, it is said, will mean that it will
not be necessary for manufacturers to
60 to great trouble and expense, in the
future. of planning leng and exhaustive
road tests of cars and then tearing
them down in the engineering depart
ment to see what has happened to
them.
Experiments have proven that this
can now be one far more accurately by
mathematics than it could under a road
test of any description.

"As a matter of fact" continues
Mr.. Franklin, while we are at this

in the company's history and closed
cars constitute better than 30 per cent
of our scheduled production, we are
noting right at this time an increase IN

we consider that the touring car has
a definite place in motor transportation
and will continue to hold that place.

The Flivverboob

Are YOU a "flivverboob," Mr..
Motoristt Perhaps you do not realize
what a flivyerboob is. According to the
proclamation now posted in he street
cars, he is a 'jay-walker on Wheels
SAYS Minnesota Sparks. Now every man
who drives ii motor has scorn for the
jay-walker, the pedestrian who strolls
aimlessly or heedlessIy or absent
mindedIy through busy streets and
urns up the traffic or gets hit and
congests the hospitals. But a jay
walker on wheels is a different pro-
position. Usually he is most of all con-
temptuous of the jay-walker on foot
Just because he is on wheels he thinks
that he is superior to rules and has an
inalienable right of way against all
others afoot or awheel.
"Flivverboobs' are not confined to
that universal type of car that has given
rise to the now worldwide name. They
are to be found driving all sorts of
machines, high-powered, low-poWered,
cheap and expensive. 1t is not the type
Of car that makes the fl~ivverboob.
To be a complete flivyerboob M
must cut corners, break speed rules,
take the narrowest chances at inter
sections, ignore crossing signals, cut
around behind streetcars, jump sud
denly over tracks ahead or approaching
cars, stop suddenly without giving
warning, start on high" without being
sure Of proper distance ahead. Per-
haps the supreme proof of f~livver-
boobism is to cross a railroad track
without stopping to be sure of a clear
passage.
4 flivverboob can be cured. Some
| times it takes Il %coroner's inquest,
sometimes a lawsuit for damages. AS a
rule, mere arresting and the taking of
collateral will not work reform. Loss
Of license may do it. The best cure,
of course, is that effected through
r~alization of the folly of being a fliv-
verboob, the risk of it, the meanness
Of it and the cost of it
Perhaps it would be well if every
person who is convicted of ~rule-break-
ing twice were forced to carry a big
conspicuous tag on his machine mark,
ing him as a flivverboob, so that all the
world that drives, walks or lodges car
know who's who on the road.

Green Tail Light
For Autos Suggested

Motor car tail lights are the subject
of discussion by railroad engineers to
whom the red light stands by long ira
dition as an active danger signal rather
than n mere caution, says Scientific
American. 1t is suggested that aside
from the general principle involved
there is considerable actual confusion
when roads and railroads II parallel,
the tail lights under numerous condi-
tions behaving much like a waving Ian
tern. The motorist has his own ex-
perience of confusion between tail lights
and fixed lights marking excavations
and other distractions, and IT seems
to us that he might be willing to adopt
a green signal TO mark the location OF
his rear elevation in the DARK. ne
use of the recently popularized stop"
signals would not be attacked, since
these mean what they say-active dan
ger to the car behind.

HUPMOB|LE BRINGS
OUT SPORT MODEL
To MEET DEMAND
Both Roadster and Touring Car
Are Specially
Equipped.

In order to answer a steadily grow
ing demand among some of the Hup-
mobile enthusiasts for the specially
equipped type of car, so much in vogue
now, that concern has just announced
a new model of that description in both
touring car and roadster styles.
The radiator, radiator cap and bar,
the. cowl lamps and barrel head lamps
are all nickel plated and of the most
advanced Hupmobile design. Alumni
mum scuff plates are on the running
board. Disc wheels are standard equip
ment, and the top is a special Burbank
in brown.
The roadster and touring car are
alike in equipment except that the
roadster carries the additional equip
ment of nickel-plated bars on the rear
deck and a tilted tire carrier.
Except for the changes noted above,
both cars are the same as the stand
ard Hupmobile models.
