Industry Awaits With Keen In

Genius.

Following the reorganization Of
the Locomobile Company OF America
under the leadership OF w. C. Du.

of the new Locomobile, the Series 8.
Because Of Mr.. Durant's activities in
the Locomobile situation, the new
car is awaited with keen interest
among owners OF fine cars generally,
and especially In the potor-car in

The chassis exemplifies the re.

Perhaps the most striking OF these

as a step toward greater dependa

1888 CARS IN
YELLOWSTONE
IN PAST YEAR
Washington Tourists Brought
1O6 Autos to West
ern Park.

The autogoing public has certainly
adopted "See America First" with
good will this year, according to a
recent statement by Superintendent
Horace NJ. Albright, Of the Yellow.
stone National Park.
Mr.. Albright says that over 1879
automobiles entered the gates Of the
park during the season just closed.
This is an increase over last years
total of nearly three thousand.
In these automobiles were carried
64,S65 passengers. or more than
three persons to the car. Certainly
our American tourist is not selfish.
The entire number Of visitors to the
park was 9S,223, so 1t can be seen
that more than go per cent came in
over the rolling road.
The Westerners have dubbed the
auto-campers "sagebrushers." Every
camp comfort possible Is extended
to tourists.
OF course nearby States furnish
the bulk of visitors to Yellowstone.
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Cali.
fornia and Utah leading in the order
named.
A veritable auto show of cars
owned by visitors displayed more
than 120 makes, nearly every one
having some original idea developed
for more comfort. and special travel
ir~ convenience.
The public has responded so read
lily to road improvements recently
made, to make easy the trip to
Yellowstone, that extensive improve
ments, at the expenditure OF hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars, are
planned before the opening Of the
park next year. Five magnificent
feeder roads lead to the park. The
Yellowstone trail passes through
Livingstone, Mont.
The District of Columbia furnished
377 of the tourists visiting the park,
Maryland State 242, and Virginia
224.
OF the automobiles, 100 were from
Warrington, ID. c., 90 from Mary
land, and SO from Virginia.
It Is interesting to note that / 1851
Dodge Bros. ears carried tourist
visitors to the park In 1922.
With the many additions. and i'm

uled to be completed before May

WHEN WINTER
COMES

Benjamin Jerome. chief engineer
OF the Oakland Motor Car Com
pany. gives the following don't
forgets" to the motorist for win
ter driving:
Anti-freeze solution, preferably
half water and half denatured al
cohol, with a small amount OF
giycerine to prevent alcohol evap-
grafton.
Keep this anti-freeze solution
constant by adding more alcohol
than water.
Have carburetor cleaned and ad'
justed for winter driving.
Blow out heating chamber and
passages frequently to eliminate
carbon.
Clean out carbon and grind
valves.
Blow out carburetor and gasoline
lines to eliminate water and sedi
ment.
Drain and flush out transmits
sion and rear axle and refill with
lubricant suitable to temperature
range Of your locality.
Keep storage battery fully re-
charged. ,
Add distilled water to battery
twice a month.
Change oil every 500 miles OF
driving.

Nearly Every Driver Thinks
He Knows How, But Some
Make a Bad Mess Of 1t.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
Editor of MOTOR.

1T may seem rather bromide TO
ask a motor car driver whether
IL he knows how to shift gears.
Inevitably the answer would DE
"of course" but any student OF mo-
toring who will take his stand at
some strategic point where every
driver who passes has to shift gears
will very quickly be convinced that
only a very small percentage know
how to shift gears properly.
In making any shift there Is In
| evitably a small amount OF noise,
but the clashing and grinding that
are so commonly heard when this op-
Grafton is performed are certain
| indication that the driver does not
know how to handle his gear-shift
skillfully. Also such clashing and
grinding are a certain indication
that the gCarshift is going to de-
velop trouble. Clipped teeth, shafi
| thrown out Of alignment and ulti
mate failure. Until the driver learns
to shift gears quietly, he is causing
! excessive wear in his gearshift
Practically every car today has
what is known as the sliding seleC
| tive type of gearshift. The Ford
is. OF course, the great exception
with lis planetary system. In prac
| ticaily every car using the sliding
seiec,ive transmission. the shifting
