Ancient Auto
Still Going
Strong in Paris

What is believed to b CO. 81 Ike
oldest autos in existence made its
appearance recently on the Doulc-
| original and only owner, Able Ga
| vols, clergyman from a neighbor-
ing town. The horseless carriage is
about 80 years old and was one OF
,the first successful machines made.
It has been in constant use to enable
tie rector to make his pastoral calls.
Able Gavois was perhaps the fist
professional man to recognize the
value of the auto for getting around
the country. He has refused many
offers of collectors to buy the his
toric vehicle but now, since the war.
his little flock is hard hit and to
relieve their suffering he has decided
to sell it and use the proceeds for
charitable purposes. 1t was with
able clergyman drove the strange
car to Paris and announced his in
tention of auctioning it to the high
est bidder.
When he sped down the Champs
Elysees the amused crowds gave him
a big ovation; horns footed from the
newer generation of cars and peo-
pie cheered. The ancient contrap-
ton has not been completely over
hauled since it was bought and, ex-
cept for a slight trace of asthma, it
is giving as good service AZ some OF
the newer models.
There is one particular thing
about this old machine that gives
complete satisfaction. and that is the
absence of pneumatic tires. thus do
ing away with punctu-es. The
speed of course is slow.

Offer Prizes for
New Motor Fuels

Much interest is being shown in
Europe in the contest for the best
fuels to be composed of mixtures OF
alcohol and gasoline which can be
used in explosion motors. The COM
petition will close on January J.,
1922. The first prize amounts to
100000 francs.
1.-THE trend Of opinion" comments
the Paris correspondent of the Jour
nal of Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry in the current number of
that publication. seems to demand
that this competition give to alcohol
intended. If this competition has. as
an end, to favor French agriculture
considered as a producer of alcohol.
it seems that it would be necessary
to lower the quantity of hydrocarbon
in the mixture since we are still OBJ
liged to import the hydrocarbon.
There is even the possibility OF
studying not the alcohol hydrocarbon
mixture burned in a gasoline engine.
but motor which would use alcohol
exclusively. This latter solution will
in all probability be the subject of
competition next year, but the pres
ent competition is limited to the alco-
hol- asoline mixture.
Although from the industrial point
Of view this seems premature 1T is
necessary to announce the discovery
by Mr.. Mailhe Of process which
makes possible the production OF
hydrocarbon which may be used in
motors. by the combustion OF vege-
table oil vapors. especially linseed.
in the presence Of catalysts. These
vapors are first directed over copper
mixed with magnesia heated to 45o
degrees. Under these conditions
liquid is collected whose vapors are
passed over reduced nickel. A mix
ture Of hydrocarbons Is finally OBJ
tanned.

bricants Should be

Four Points About fabrication That

tribution, Carbon Residue and
Sealing" Qualities Should All Be
Considered
Everyone. naturally. knows that
automobiles gequire oil. What the
Oil does, however, how 1t acts on the
engine. is something with which
very few people are familiar. That
Is why the following facts on the
characteristics Of lubricants are sure
to be of more than ordinary inter-
est and value to Journal readers:
All oils lose body under heat.
Some lose body quickly: others at
a comparatively slow rate.
The character Of the oil deter
mines whether the loss of body, as
the oil is heated, will be fast or slow.
An oil which Is apparently of
heavy body at room temperature
may In reality be quite light in body
when heated to the degree met with
in service. The body or f1uidity of
the oil in the engine under operat-
ing conditions depends on three
things:
/. Its initial body at normal tenn
peratures: in other words. the grade
OF oil used.
.. The rapidity OF loss of body;
In other words. the character" of
the Oil.
3. The degree to which the oil
Is heated in other words. the nor
NAL engine operating temperature.
The engine operating temperature
Is. therefore. the first basic lubrica-
ton factor. Its value must be deter
mined within fairly close limits pc
fore the correct oil can be recon-
mended for any engine.
Body and Oil Distribution
All oils are not equally free flow
ing. Oils of light body are readily
distributed through small passages
and fine orifices. Heavier bodied oils
are less fluid and demand larger
passages.
Oils OF light body are readily
etomized or broken up into very fine
particles. Heavier bodied lubricants
resist this process of atomizaticn,
which is essential to even distr:hu-
ton with certain lubricating systems.
1t would be foolhardv to put into
any engine an oil not adapted to flew
freely through the passages provided
TO conduct it to the various friction
surfaces.
1t would be equally short sighted
20 use an oil lacking those qualities
necessary to insure it's even distri-
button with some particular lubricat-
ing system.
Oil distribution is therefore. the
