WEEKS SENDS
FORD CONTRACT
ON SHOALS BID
Manufacturers Proposal Probably
Will Go Before Congress Earlier
Part Of February.

Washington, Jan. "a. Henry
Ford's proposal for purchase and
lease of the Muscle Shoals, Ala i,
nitrate and power properties en-
bodied in contract form was placed
in the mail Tuesday by Secretary
Weeks, addressed to Mr.. Ford at
Detroit.
The secretary announced that as
soon as it was signed by Mr.. Ford
and returned here he would submit
the contract Immediately to con-
gress for final decision.
The contract was delivered to the
secretary Tuesday by Col J. A.
Hull, acting acknowledgement
of the army, the final draft having
been completed Monday after it
had been examined by local repre-
sentati7es of Mr.. Ford, who said
they found it very satisfactory"
1t was not thought probable by
war department officials that Mr..
Ford would be able to complete his
study of the contract and return it
here before the end of the month.
In that event the document and
Secretary Weeks comments"
would not be submitted to congress
until the first week of February
Mr.. Weeks said. however, he pro.
posed to deliver the papers to con-
gress as soon as they were received
from Detroit and there would be no
delay in presenting congress with
all facts in his possession relating
to the case, News Scimitar.

MORE CAR OWNERS
NEXT CONGRESS
THAN IN Previous
Motorists Expect Proper Treat
ment at Washington From
Next Session. ~

A congress of motorists will take
office at Washington on March 4,
| next.
That this. broadly speaking, will be
| true is indicated by information as to
the partially for the automobile
| shown by those hold-overs and newly
elected members Of the national senat
and house of representatives who Will
make up the Sixty-eighth congress. A
big majority of the members are own
ers of motor cars. But few if any of
those who We're chosen in the recent
elections failed TO utilize the auto
mobile in conducting their campaigns.
says the National Motorists associ-
alton.
During the new congress many ques-
tons of import to motorists will come
up for attention. With the members
in large part familiar through personal
experience with the problems suggested
by automobile taxation, lack Of uni
formity in highway regulations, and
the inconteniences and dangers Of
poor roads. the sponsor of a square
deal for the notorist and of good roads
legislation should be assured therefore
Of cooperation at all times.
Many members Of congress. wen
those living at Il distance. use the auto
mobile i'll travelling between their homes
and the national capitol and in avail
ing themselves of opportunities for
weekend trips to points of interest.
During the life Of the late Senator
Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania. the
big red automobile owned by him was
a familiar sight to thousands of per-
sons throughout the eastern states.
The prevalence of automobile OWN
ers in the national congress is true
likewise doubtless Of the membership
Of the 43 state legislatures which meet
early in the New Year, and the same
fellow-feeling which should insure
motorists proper treatment at Wash
ington should guarantee it for them in
the different state legislative bodies.

ACCIDENTS ARE DUE
To JAY WALKERS
SAYS A. A. A. HEAD
Reports Show Most Injuries
Are Because of Needless
Persons on Street.

The automobile has always been q
subject for class legislation in the
opinion of M. O. Eldridge, executive
chairman of the American Automobile
association, with headquarters in Wash
ington, .. G.. In the weekly letter
from Mr.. Eldridge. sent out for pub
hcatlon, he urges a penalty for jay
walking and takes issue with the popu-
lar cry that the driver is at fault
whenever an accident occurs. He class
flies the jay-walker as a serious men
ace. He writes:
II have before me a chart containing
a summary of traffic accidents in New
York city, with the fault or incapacity
of the proper party listed, and while,
perhaps. the cause of 50 per cent OF
the accidents is listed as unknown, the
blame in the cases where the fault
Of the accident has been determined is
overwhelmingly placed on the persons
injured.
Over n certain period of time in
which 1897 accidents involving private
automobiles occurred, the police de-
partment Of New York city found by
thorough investigation that in 40 cases
the driver of the car was to blame;
in 3,16S cases the person injured was
to blame, and in 1858 cases the cause
of the accident was unknown. With
the heavy preponderance Of blame
placed on the persons injured IN the
known causes of accidents it is but
fair to assume that the injured person
was to blame in more than so per cent
of the remaining 1858 cases. basing
this on the most conservative esti-
mates. During the same period of
taxicabs occurred. the cause for 81 such
time in which 1909 accidents involving
cases was traced to the driver, while
437 cases were blamed on the person

NEW WORKERS MAKE
3,428 NILE TRIP
IN W|LLYS-KN|GHT
Encounter Snow While Going
Through Montana; Used
Is Driving Days

With a total monetary outlay of
S73.45. Mr.. and Mrs. F. r. Smith of
Bath, New York, arrived in Bucoda.
Wash. last week. The trip of 3,42S
miles was made by Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
in fifteen driving days in their WHY'S
knight car and q devoid of any
mishap of any sort.
The trip from Bucyrus, Ohio, TO
Columbus. Mont, was made through
snowstorms for almost the entire dis
lance, the worst storms being en-
countered in Montana, where the snow
was from six to eight inches deep.
The only time when the tourists
could not negotiate in high gear was
while coming through the Rocky noun
tain region, when intermediate gear
was used. In the Cascades, however,
Mr.. Smith said that they were I'M
aware of the fact that they were
climbing. Through the Rockies they
passed car after car which was stalled
on account of the stiff grades and
every little way a team could be seer
pulling cars up the mountain.
In the entire distance, 1853 gallons
of gas was used and % quarts Of oil.
In every five gallons of gas one pint
OF oil was used to make sure of proper
fabrication.
An interesting comparison is M-
fered in the expense of $73.45 in con
trast to S475 which would have been
the cost of two round trip tickets for
MIR. Smith and his wife. The tourists
carried their " camping equipment.
which allowed them to cut out hotel
bills and thereby reduce the cost of the
trip. Average milage each driving day
was 2oS miles, the maximum distance
covered IN n one day being Isl miles,
the minimum, 133.
On the entire trip. not even d pune
tlre was encountered.
The tourists plan to stay in the
northwest until next spring, when they
Will start for home via California and
the southern route. finally arriving at
their home il New York state next

"Weathered Bronze"
New Shade of Green
on Olds Sport Model

An entirely new shade Of green,
known as "weathered bronze" abs been
discovered by a paint expert of the
Olds Motor works, Of Lansing, Mich.
In addition to being of an entirely
new shade and used for the first time
ia finishing an automobile, the Odds
mobile experts assert, it is especially
durable and promises to last much
longer than some finishes which have
been used in the autom obile industry
during ME last few years.
It is said that the Oldsmobile execu-
tiyes decided, when it was determined
that a sport roadster should be a
keted. that the car had to be finished
in an entirely new shade of specially
designed paint to stand all weather
tests and it also must be of a smart
appearance.
An experimental car was turned over
to the paint shop and for weeks various
men in the department took turns de-
yising color schemes for its finish. The
result, after weeks of experiments, is
such that many compliments have been
paid the Odds factory OF the work
turned out.

Barney 0|dflae!d1 says:
CARBON FORMS !
AND HOW IT Is REMOVED

Carbon is an undesired by-product Of
.gasoline. 1t forms in the combustion
tchamber in a black sootlike formation
that gradually becomes hard until
eventually it becomes a flinty consist
ency that practically defies anything
but a cold chisel. The peculiar effect
of carbon is that it becomes heated
with the successive explosions and acts
as an i%nsulator and also decreases the
size of the combustion space. When
an engine has become thoroughly car
BOMBED its power and general perform
ance is cut down.
But carbon does not confine its at
%tentions to the combustion chamber
and the top Of the piston. 1t deposits
upon the valve seats and faces. IlNeed
its effect here is. if anything, even
more injurious than in the combustion
chamber. In the valve system the tiny
particles of flintlike carbon are forced
into the metal by the constant ham
mering of these parts. They prevent
the valve seating properly, which
means that Il certain amount OF open
space exists through which the fuel
leaks out. Technically this condition
results in loss Of compression and ms
firing frequently ensues.
Still another resting place that at
tracts carbon is the end Of the spark
itug, and it is not to find
short circuits resulting from this
cause. A bridge of carbon offers lit
lie resistance to a current of cleo
rririty

What Heavy Carbon Causes

Carbon deposits in the combustion
chambers, if they were examined IN
der the microscope, would be found
to embody almost i~nnumerable tiny pro-
iections. The carbon acting as IN in
sulator interferes with cooling and
raises the engine temperature causing
what is called a fuel knock. There IS
4, theory regarding pre-ignition due to
iacandescent particles. but this is not
.Ihe principal effect of CARBON.
1t must not be assumed, however,
that every engine knock is from car
bon deposit, although that is the com
honest cause Too great an advance
of the spark win cause knocking and
SO viii @ dozen other things. But
when knocking begins and is accom-
panied By overheating and loss Of pow
or the assumption is that there is a
heavy carbon deposit in the cylinders.
AS with most things. prevention Is
better than cure. The car owner
should observe certain rules that Will
tend to keep down the deposit Of car
bon in his engine. If the car IS ha-
bitIallv driven on too rich a mixture
carbon deposit will be rapid. as will be
the case where IN excess of oil. or too
heavy an oil is used. The reasons be
hind this are apparent after q l1tfie
thought. The gasoline mixture that is
too rich is slow burning; instead Of cx-
ploding snapp'ly it burns. and much
of the content is never exploded. but
burns incompletely. leaving a lot OF
carbon. When excessive oil is used the
excess forces its way past the piston
rings and burns with the gasoline,
leaving d heavy SCOT deposit To this
base canes dust drawn into the engine
with the air. which. bruning, helps
make ihesdcposit almost adamant in
it's hardness. The rar owner. there
fore. should be very careful TO give
his engine the proper gasoline mixture
and to sec that while enough oil Is
always present there is never appre-
cable excess.

YOU to tell me how Il change a touring

In the first place, the chassis will
not be satisfactory as a n ton We

around LOCO pounds and in all proba-
h:lity it would not be economical as

needed would cost more than 500, and
the car is not worth the changes.
