OLDSMOB|LE MAKES
RECORD RUM; CLIMBS
SLIPPERY FORD HILL
Pacific Coast Dealers Skeptical
of Achievement at
First.

An Oldsmobile ~four-cylinder semi
sport model, with its gear shift locked
in high, has broken all records in a
run from Sacramento, Cal, to Reno,
Nevada, by negotiating the slippery
Ford Hill, a feat always considered
impossible by leading automobile deal
ers on the Pacific coast.
The car was a stock chassis and not
doctored in any way, 1t is said, n
was taken directly from the showrooms
Of J.. w. Leavitt & Co, San Fran
cisco distributors, the gear shifting
handle removed and the TRANSMISSION
sealed in the presence Of witnesses.
The feat was considered so remark
able that San Francisco automoone
dealers refused to believe the test I'M
til documentary evidence was produc-
ed that it had really been accomplished.
In Leavitt company, Bill Cooper, an
automobile race driver, who old an
A. A. A. license, George Jones, a Sac
ramento artist and r. f. Becker, press
representative.
The Slippery Ford Hill is noted along
the Pacific coast for its extremely
sharp pitch and it is nor than a mile
in length. Added to the ordinary
grade difficulties the hill has two hair
min turns at which most drivers have
to shift into second.
The motor of the Oldsmobile was not
stopped at the end of the run, but was

NEW 5 PASSENGER
SEDAN ADDED TO
NASH'S SIX LINE
Will Be Distributed to Dealers
as Rapidly as Production
Permits.

simultaneously with the opening Of
the fall closed car season, the Nasn
Motors company announces a five-pas-
senger six cylinder sedan. The new
model is being shipped to distributors
and dealers as rapidly as production
will permit.
The new five-passenger six cylinder
sedan was produced in response to a
widespread demand on the part OF
Nash dealers and the buying public
for a car of this type" said c. B.. .Voor-
his, vice president and director of sales
of the Nash Motors company. with
this addition, the Nash line now in
cludes thirteen models each meeting
separate and distinct requirements. In
the ~six-cylinder car line are now three
enclosed cars--the new five-passenger
sedan, the seven-passenger sedan, and
the four-passenger coupe, while the
~four-cylinder line includes four en-
closed body types-the five-passenger
sedan, the five-passenger carriole,
three-passenger coupe, and two-pas-
senger cab"
On Enduring Chassis
The new six sedan for five passen-
gers is built on the Nash 121 inch
wheelbase chassis; its design and ap-
pearance are in keeping with that good
taste which distinguishes all models Of

the hole. Then rest the rim on its
side on the floor. You now are ready
TO force one side of the tire over the
rim. This is done with the ordinary
tire iron, or better still, a piece of
spring leaf. assisted by a hammer. The
head is pried over the rim. Where the
bead is very stiff, the longer the tire

Be Careful With Iron
When one head is over on q split
rim, the other can be started with the
other and then finished by striking the
bead with a hammer. If the bead does
not go over readily, don't pound away
and possibly injure the bead. If 1t gets
stuck, assist with the iron.

In mounting a soft bead clincher

pinches are common unless the ope-
rator remembers to keep the iron close

easier in mounting a soft bead clincher

MOUNTING A r

In these days of the well made cord
tirs, tire troubles on the road are
rare, except where the castings are
badly worn and are expected to give
trouble. Recently a good driver had
two tires mounted in a garage. One
tire went flat in five miles and the
other was put on the wheel. 1t, too,
went flat Both flats were caused by
two pinches. The garage man was not
careful enough in using the irons.
Then there was a slow leak. which
may be caused by a worn valve plunger,
dirt on the plunger seat, a pin hole IN
the tube, a valve stem That leaks
around the seat of the tube.
If the driver wishes to avoid tire
troubles, he must properly mount the
tires, initiate them to the desired pres
sure, see that the valve holds air, and,
in order to get good, continuous serv-
Ice, he must also see that the rims are
not allowed to rust, that a little talc
II used to Intricate the tubes, that the
rim ia properly mounted on the wheel
and that the wheel does not wobole.
Watch for Rust on Rim
Let us 20 over the method used by
one of the best tire mounters we nave
met and, incidentally, one OF the fast-
est. Before any work is done, spread
open the casing to make sure 1t is
free from anything that might inJure
the tubes. Run the back of your hand
against the inside OF the tire all
around. Also examine the connection
where the two ends Of the fabric meet
to be sure there is not the slightest
break that might cause a tube pinch.
Look over the rim and If it appears
~a~aDn 1ff what r1tQt vnu nnn
and then coat the rim lightly with rim
paint to prevent further rusting. Then
initiate the tube sufficiently so it will
have some definite shape. The inside
of the casing is then lightly ~sprinkled
with tale. Too much tale is not good,
because the excess will form Jumps.
The tube then is inserted In the
easing. The expert does not allow the
tube to rest on the ground at any
time. This is done to prevent any
particle of dirt from sticking to the
tube. A few grains of sand will soon
imbed themselves in the tube.
Forcing Tire Over Rim
Next the flap is inserted. Do not
try to insert the flap without spread
ing the bead as this often results IN
he flap doubling over. 1t is usually an
easy matter for most owners to get
the tire on the rim, whether of the
split type or any other, SO that one
side is In place, but when it m to
getting the other bead in position,
trouble sets in. I have seen drivers
pound away for minutes trying to get
a stiff beaded tire on a rim without
even thinking if the pounding is doing
any good. Sometimes they pound the
rim all out of shape and multiply their
troubles.
With the rim standing up in Its
usual position, slip the tire in place
so that the valve stem goes through

RULES

The driver of an automobile sould
never park with the left side of the
car to the curb, except on a zone way
traffic" street. The right side should
be next to the curb, and never the
rear end, unless in regular parking
spaces, where the regulations permit
cars to park at right angles to the
road. On the regular highway such
parking tends to block traffic and is
dangerous to the welfare of the stand
ing machines.

STOP THEFT

Whenever a car Is parked 1t should
be carefully locked and the key re-
moved by the driver, as thieves not
only rob the automobiles of their con-
tents, but they also quite readily steal
the machine as well. A safe lock
should be a part of every cars equip
ment, and especially If it is to be
parked very much. Spare tires should
also be securely locked.

Such trouble in starting is due to a
combination of conditions but the

that despite the apparent talent in the works

"A LITTLE more than a year ago a
IA wealthy New York society woman
- conceived a plan to aid and encour-
age American artists in her own way.
Being herself both an artist and collector of
art, she understood pretty we'll what were the
advantages and disadvantages that confront
ed most artists in their attempts to gain rec
ognition She felt there were ways of provid-
ing a more real benefit to young and as yet
unknown members of the profession than
money gifts prizes or even the purchase Of
their pictures afforded. One way appealed to
her most and, feeling impelled to lend help
ing hand, she enlisted the aid of a woman ia

put her idea into immediate operation 1t

Mrs. Donald c. Macom, widely known in
art circles as Thalia Millett, inauguarated her
idea by sending out cards of invitation to pa
irons of art to view a collection of paintings.
They were to be shown in gallery built for
that purpose in her residence. To her
friends Mrs. Malcom was known to have a
deep interest in native art development The
thought that she might wish to show the work
of some artist in whom she was particularly
interested therefore not extraordinary.
To some a social idea would have suggested
itself in the procedure had not the invitations
been inscribed "Mrs Malcom's Gallery, ia
East Sixty-siXth Street" and announced that
an exhibition would continue from such date
to such date.
Her invitation was puzzling. Was this well
known patron Of art actually going into bus-
ness in her own name-the business of selling
art in the spirit of commercial enterprise?
Had Thalia Mllett who had just exhibited
her own paintings, made throughout the bat
tefelds Of France, come to the point where
art for the love Of creating or possessing was
to be superseded by art as an instrument of
business?

other artists were and are, unable to pay for
an opportunity to put her work before the
