RUMOR SAYS FORD
 WILL EXTEND HIS
 RAILROAD HOLDINGS

DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 18.-Is Henry Ford buying more railroads? No affirmation or denial comes fro mthe automobile manufacturers office here. Yet persistent rumors de- clare that Ford not only contemplates buying the Virginian Railroad but the abash system as well.
 Railroad gossip has it that nego- tiationsW for the purchases have been in progress for several weeks. Mean time, the favorite topic of discussion in affected territory is "What's it all ! about?"
 Henry Ford's methods of operation have been full of surprises since the days he began quantity production of autos. His raising Of workers pay to then unprecedented figures,-hs ill- fated Ford peace expedition of 1915-16 the purchase and reorganization of methods on the Detroit, Toledo & Iron ton Railway, his gigantic Muscle Shoals development plan all give grounds for speculation now as to what startling new plan Ford may be preparing.
 Control of the Wabash System would give Ford clear access from Opaha and Kansas City to Toledo. From there to Buffalo, the road has trackage arrangements with another road.
 Acquisition of the Virginian would make possible extension of Ford's De- troit, Toledo & Ironton line from To- ledo to tidewater in Virginia. The road extends from Norfolk to Deep water, w. Va. Ironton terminus of Ford's line is 100 miles away, so a connection of these two would not be a difficult task.
 Such rail system would permit the Ford plants here to bring their coal from the mining districts on their own trains, it is said. This, some claim, is Ford's latest move in his fight against coal concerns. Charg- ing that the price of coal had been raised too high for economical opera tion of his plant Ford gave notice that he would suspend all operations. He closed part of his plants for time but later resumed operations.
 What acquisition of lines to Kan sas City and Omaha might mean is a matter of conjecture entirely. There may be some truth to one theory that Ford may be planning for further competition from low-priced automo- piles, and as means of reducing this cost plans to ship as far as possible and as fast as possible on his own lines before it becomes necessary to use other roads to more distant distri- button centers. Similarly ,the line to Buffalo, it is contended, would put Ford cars nearer New York in Ford's cars, while the line to Norfolk would furnish an all-Ford owned outlet for automobiles in export.

overjoyed at the improved appearance of the car, started a series of power tests and number of records have been established as a demonstration of the ability of Maxwell engineers.
 "The most recent test, and one that has excited the interest of the whole motoring fraternity of California, was the hill-climbing feat arranged by C. A. Doyle, sales manager of Union Motors, Inc, Maxwell dealers for southern California in which a Max well stock touring car, with only the top down to accomodate a record breaking passenger list numbering 25, climbed the sharp grade up Quintero street from the corner of Sunset boule- yard without once faltering or hesi-

LOS ANGELES DEALERS : ENACT UNBELIEVABLE
 HILL-CL|Nb|NC FEAT

The entire motoring publir of Cali fornia was stirred recently by the al- most unbelievable hill-climbing feat arranged and carried out by Union oMtors, good Maxwell dealers for southern California.
 From the writeup following, some idea of the significance of this demon stration can be gained:
 The oLs Angeles Express, in re- porting the performance, stated:
 There is but little doubt that the iall upon the automobile manufactur- CTS for more power in the motors of the vehicles they produce is better answered in this years cars than it ever has been before. This fact has been vividly brought before the motor ing public in the short space of less than a year since the introduction of the first model of the new Maxwell.

STARTER COMES IN FOR MUCH GRIEF

The next place to suspect Is the ca bles that connect the battery with the starter by way of the switch. While trouble here is not so frequent, never theless insulation may wear through setting up shorts that drain the bat tery and prevent the starter from do- ing its work. Occasionally also the switch goes out of business, but if the battery is proved to have adequate current and the cables are all right, examine the switch.
 Sometimes the starting motor itself goes out of business through mechani- cal failure or lack of fabrication. The starting motor is generally fabricated from the engine on one end and by a small hole on the other. The engine fabrication is automatic, but the oil hole requires drop of oil every 500 miles of running. In some cases both ends of the starting motor depend on oil holes for lubricant.
 The brushes and commutator of the starting motor do not need oil; in fact, if oil gets on these parts it is likely to stop the motor from operat- ing. In this case the oil may be clean ed off by holding small piece of fine sand paper against the commutator while the motor is running.
 From all this the car owner will get the obvious lesson that troubles in the starting system are best cured by reasonable care before hand. Keep the battery up to it's work; watch the cables for broken insulation. Give the starting motor the drop of oil 1t needs and the starter will continue to whir obediently under your foot pressure while the crank rusts in idleness under the back seat.

BIG INCREASE IN
 0|L REFINING IS SHOWN IN l6 YEARS
Capacity Jumbs 813 P. c. In That Time Through Ad- vent Of Automobiles ?

The oil refining capacity of the United States has increased SIS pei cent in 16 years, according to the American Petroleum institute. The increase has been brought about by the demand created by the internal combustion engine.
 In 1906, the refineries of the United States, running to capacity, could handle about 219,OOO barrels of crude petroleum a day. The principal de- mand was for kerosene. Gasoline was a by-product and only about S,000,000 barrels of it were produced during the entire year.
 On Jan. of this year, the refinery capacity was over 2,000,00O barrels a day. The principal demand is for gas- ,oline which, according to the latest official figures, was produced during July at the rate of about 160,O00,00O barrels a year.
 The present refineries in Mexico alone have capacity nearly as great as the refineries in this country had 16 years ago.

To every motorist sooner or later there comes the unpleasant experience of stepping on a starter button and instead of the merry whir of the turning gears being greeted by stony silence. It is scarcely remarkable that this occurs, indeed the wonder is that the starter holds up as well as it does under the abuse that it re- ,ceives at the hands of the average car owner.
 The starter is not a delicate unit, but it does perform a most strenuous service and the various somponents must receive a limited but regular amount of attention ii they are to continue performing regularly.
 The starter system embodies the following units: A storage battery the cables that connect the battery with the rest of the system, a switch for bringing the starter into action and as a general thing the frame of the car, which is used to return the current to the battery after it has turned over the engine.
 In cases of starter failure the first thing to suspect is the battery which supplies the current that operates the starter. Once a week during the ac- tive running season the battery must be filled to level with distilled water. The acid solution should be tested at these times with hydrometer, show ing specific gravity Of the solution. If this has fallen below 1900 the bat tery is away below charge and must be recharged without delay. If the battery is permitted to become dry or to fall so low in charge that it can not turn over the starter, the cause of the failure is at once revealed.

CASUALTIES DUE
 TO INCOMPETENT
 DRIVERS PILE UP
Official Statistics Show Many Causes for High
 Accident Rate

Proving exclusively that incompe- tent handling of vehicles is the cause of the greater number of traffic ac- cidents an official bulletin issued by the Auto Club of Southern California shows that out of "A separate causes bad driving holds a record of 23 per cent of casualties in Los Angeles City.
 In the clubs bulletin, which involv- es mass of official statistics com piled by the safety bureau and which covers the eight months period ended August S1, a total of 5674 accidents are attributed to this cause. The total number of accidents recorded since ,J January is 24,557.
 Of the sum total accidents from all causes the bulletin figures reflect personal injuries sustained numbering 3425, the other 21,132 accidents re- sulting in property damage only.
 Right-Of-Way Dsrespect
 While accidents due to incompetent handling of machines stand first in the entire list, those coming out of right -of-way violations run a close second, indicating too great a pre- valence of disrespect, for safety rules and lack of consideration for other drivers on the road. The total acci- dents from this violation was 451O, of which 355 resulted in personal in- juries.
 The bureaus recapitulation proves the existence of a lamentable lack of care by pedestrians for their personal safety, there being ITS accidents in eight months from this carelessness. Drivers not looking where they were going caused 1043 accidents; speeders were responsible for 9O3 casualties. Failure to signal and cutting in ahead

are heavy accident producing agencies the bulletin reflects, while traffic con- fusion, jaywalking, cutting corners defective brakes, drive to left side of street, intoxication, passing to right, skidding vehicles and turning in mid ,dle of block are notable contributing agencies to the accident roll. Lights at Fault
 In addition, glaring headlights are charged with complicity in bringing the total of accidents to the present lamentable size, there having been Al accidents through this circumstance, while no headlights caused 123, and no taillights 165.
 Collisions in the period mentioned numbered 24,557, personal injuries numbering 3425 growing out of these accidents. Autos and trucks number ing 1037 collided with street cars, and autos struck 1900 pedestrians. Either persons of the masculine gen. der are more careless than the female of the species, or they are more num- ,erous on the streets, for the traffic bulletin presents figures showing that in the period involved 46,432 males were involved in accidents, as against 2358 females.
 Analysed by districts, accidents oc- cured as follows:
 Congested sections, 3O73; business sections, 2552; residence sections, 1S,- 932. In the latter districts 15O chil- dren were injured while playing in streets.
 More definitely fixing the place of accident in districts, the statistical statement announces that 1S,323 acci- dents occurred on street intersections and 6234 in places other than inter- sections.
 In the month of August there were S65O accidents of one sort or another, the last week of the honth producing ST7 such disasters.

.PREST-O-L|TE BATTERY
 PRICES, HIT BOTTOM

If your old battery shows signs of giving up the ghost you will welcome the news just announced by Mark Pearson's Old Trails Garage Service Station and Distributor of the old and well-known REST-O-LITE products.
 Why shouldn't we be enthusiastic" says Mir. Pearson, "when we have just received word from Prest-O-Lite Headquarters of another substantial reduction in the price of batteries the second one this year"
 Tn spite of the low prices at which we have been selling, there are still some car owners who have been mak- ing their old, woln-out batteries do until prices had reached rock bottom. We'll, these people won't have to wait any longer because our prices today are the lowest at which high grade batteries have been sold in the last seven years. We also make full value allowances for old batteries"
 Yes, automobile owners (and who doesn't own one nowadays) are keen on price but they have also learned that quality is a big factor and that the plates are the life of a battery. The combination of perfected Prest- O-Plates with their rugged wearing quality and our new rock bottom prices will certainly satisfy every car owner"

 "This load, an aggregate of 6,636 pounds, is almost unheard of. The passengers were everywhere-on the running boards, lenders, radiator, standing, sitting or somehow hanging on. The doubts of approximately 2,000 interested motorists as to the ability of the car were dispelled with the finish of the first test, in which a successful attempt to top the grade with 20 passengers was made. The second test was even more conclusive as demonstration of power. .-.

VALVE CLEARANCE

In many of the older car models no means of adjusting valve clearance IS provided. By slipping one or more fiber or metal disks of sufficient thickness to take up the excessive play between the bottom of the valve stem and the push rod this trouble may be obvlated. A metal retainer cut from sheet metal will keep the disks in place.

NOVEL TOOL RACK

A very ingenious tool rack for flat tools may be made by boring a num- Der of holes in board, each hole be- ing just large enough to take the head Of clothespin. Clothespins are then driven into the holes and the cleft end are used to receive the tools. The pins may be made secure by a small wire nail driven through their heads and into the board.
 At least 100000 automobiles have been scrapped in the last 25 years.
