Cadillac Firms Head Says
AppeaI Lies in Labor Saw
ing and Pleasure.

Because the automobile has been the
chief invention Of individual transpor-
tation in Notwithstanding its own
power plant-and can go wherever the
roadway leads, the point Of saturation
will never be reached until man ceases
to consider time valuable and wishes to
forego the recreational pleasures Of the
great outdoors which the automobile
brings to his very doors.
This is the opinion Of H. II. Rice.
president and general manager Of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company. who
points out that while considerable
stress has been laid upon the probable
saturation point in the United States.
little thought has been given to the
large number Of automobiles the entire
world will some day absorb.
Auto to Every Eleven Persons.
There are approximately 10.6OO. 900
motor vehicles In the United States"
explains Mr.. Rice. while in the re-
mainder Of the world, there are fewer
than 1000. 900 motor vehicles. In other
words. there is a motor car for every
eleven persons in the United States, but
in the remainder Of the world there is a
motor car for but every sS5 persons.
1.-The possibilities Of the United States
alone to absorb automobiles may be
gauged from the fact that if every
state had the per capita ownership of
cars that Iowa has. the United States
would have 20.000.000 motor vehicles.

ening India and China and other

Talk for Cool Weather.

Summer heat and speeding are a
combination which robs tires of their
legitimate mileage. The average race
drivers tire will run about 500 miles
when with ordinary care it would
run 10000 miles. This is due to the
extreme heat generated by speeding.
All speeding Is hard on tires, the
damage being proportional to the
amount of heat generated.
With the coming Of fall and winter
overheating of tires is somewhat OBJ
Waited. But very soon the other ex-
treme in temperature will have it's
effects on the tire. The country
roads still have ruts-miles Of them
which. when frozen. are very hard on
the sidewalks of tires; running in
ruts should therefore be avoided
Under imitation of tires is harder on
tire walls in winter than in summer
because the bending Of tires which
are frozen stiff is far more destruc-
tive than the same action in summer.
Many Of US will soon be using
chains. which is necessary occasion
ally. but they should be used only
when really needed because chains
are harmful to tires and they are
harder on tires when running on
paved streets than under any other
circumstances. The man who needs
chains for his city driving is driving

Americans Fear Ne,u

opening night Mr.. Schildkraut did the
only bit of acting in 'Liliom' that
was out Of character. AS he entered
the flames Of hell he dropped his Gig
arctic and bowed his head.
But when the public and the press
approved OF ''Liliom," he was allowed
to change his Interpretation and now
he walks into the cleansing fire, Gig

Serious Fun-Mak;nq.

OBSERVERS of the theater have

of Willie Howard. who has given i'm
presentations Of various well known ac-
tors in some Of their best characterize
tions Observers have noted that In the

them are lively and funny. Willie

been made in harnessing the inanimate

THE OWNER-DRIVER'S
COLUMN

The average garage Is no larger
than is necessary to accommodate the
car it houses. They usually are well
built and afford little ventilation
when the doors are closed. To run an
engine for any length OF time in a
closed garage such as described above
Is courting danger.
The exhaust gases from gas en-
Glne contain carbon monoxfde, which
Is colorless. odorless and tasteless
gas resulting from incomplete com
buStion of motor fuels. Under the
best of conditions Of motor operation
complete combustion is never secured
The average motor is always giving
off more than two cubic feet of poi
sonous gas per minute. but under GER
tain conditions, such as the following.
the yield of these fumes Will be mucl
heavier:

porization is incomplete and there Is
insufficient air in the mixture it may
yield more than ten feet per minute.
co Heavy" or low grade gasoline
causes a higher carbon monoxide con-
tent in the exhaust.
Ventilation Lack Dangerous.
When car is running in the open
air the exhaust becomes mixed with
pure air and no bad effects result.
though one may smell exhaust all day
long. When, however, the fumes are
shut In garage 1t does not take long
to raise the percentage OF carbon
lnonoxide past the danger point.
According to Prof. Haldane. oxford
University, and other authorities. L
per cent of this gas in pure air Is
enough to cause headaches and palpi-
tation of the heart, 2 per cent is posi-
lively dangerous and is per cent or
lla cubic feet in 100 of air will cause
death
From the above it is easy to make
our deductions as to no" to guard
against this poisoning. The smaller
the garage and the tighter the walls
the greater the danger. Provide for
plenty Of fresh air at all times. Do
not run the motor In closed garage
unless it has first been backed UP to
an open door. or attach hose to the
exhaust pipe and lead the gases out
side.
Symptoms Of Poisoning.
The symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning may be dizziness. head
ache or palpitation of the heart. or a
combination of two or more Of these.
Insensibility follows fast and the first
sign Of any of these should be sufh-
cient to wake any one to the danger

Engine Sound Meanings.

The owner-driver should first OF ali
know how TO interpret engine SOUNDS
sufficiently well to recognize miss
ing cylinder the moment 1t occurs
though there are many whose ears
are unable to detect anything wrong
when one cylinder in a four-cylinder
engine is dead). Where( however an
engine, whether 1t has four or more
cylinders. changes the rhythm or its
exhaust look for missing cylinder
or cylinders. The next thing Is 70
locate the trouble maker. To do this,
different methods are applicable TO
the different cars. When a motor is
equipped with pet-cocks in the GYM
der heads opening these while the en-
gine Is running tells the tale. The
live cylinders will send part OF eaSh
explosion. squirting flame. out OF the
pet-cock, while the dead or weak
cylinder will lack punch" and flame
when 1t is forced over the compress
sion stroke.
When an engine has no pet-cocks
the best method is to short-circuit all
the spark plugs but one. and mak
that cylinder drive the whole engine.
Two screwdrivers with wooden ham
dies are best for this purpose. The
test should be applied with the motor
running at speed equivalent to
road speed OF twenty miles per nour.
The spark lever should be in the re-
tarded position. The dead or weak
cylinder will. OF couse. refuse to drive
the engine.
On a Ford car the missing cylinder
can be located by the preceding meth
Cd or by holding down the vibrator
blades in the coil box on the dash.
By this method all but one cylinder
can be prevented from firing and the
missing one located thereby. Once
the missing cylinder has been found
the trouble can readily be traced to
its source.
Intermittent or irregular missing is
usually due to commutator or breaker
box trouble. or to faulty carburation.
and in such cases trying to find the
missing cylinder will prove to be very
battling. because no one cylinder is
responsible.
