without doubt, the greatest
source of rattle and rumbles in the
modern motor car is sheet metal
parts. Whether your car cost $34S
or So, ,34S, a certain amount OF sheet
metal is used in splash aprons. and
mud pans. tenders. etc. Ordinarily,
these parts are attached TO cars
with stove bolts and lock washers.
Often, one of these little bolts Will
loosen up causing very annoying
rattle or rumble, which is very hard
to locate. BY following closely the
method OF attaching the parts ano
by pounding on the sheet metal, the
rattle that you hear on the road can
be reproduced while inspecting your
car in the garage. See that all
screws are pulled vp tight, also
fender bracket bolts.
Sometimes, rattles are apparent in
cars even with bolts tight. This
usually results from padding strips
working out or not being properly
placed when first assembled. or
screws placed too far apart. Rattles
OF this nature can be eliminated by
adding padding strips Of felt, or by
forcing very small loosely wound
rolls Of tape at points midway be-
tween screws or at the point Of
rattle.
When making an inspection on the
above parts, include the body bolts.
See that these are all pulled down
tight. Loose body bolts will permit
the body shifting on frame and will
result in peculiar squeaks. rattles
and lot OF other damage.
There is nothing quite so re-
pulsive looking as the motor car
seen in the Sunday boulevard crowd
or at any other time for that matter.
with badly dented tenders. tenders
rusting through with portions gone
or flapping like a birds wings. This
is exactly what happens to tenders
that have been neglected and 1t can
be avoided by proper caro-.
In the first place, the damage
starts through tenders being bumped
or kinked. The strain and vibration
usually localiZes at the kink and If
car is run very long in this COndi-
tion, the sheet metal cracks and rust
will start to work under the enamel
and destroy the rest Of the fendC. in
short time.
Dented tenders can be easily
Strengthened. Take a heavy wood
block or piece OF blunt metal padded
with cloth on the under side, then
by hammering on top with a rubber
mallet or metal hammer heavily
padded with cloth IL surprisingly
good job can be made OF smoothen-
ing out the dents. after which
enamel should be applied over the
portions that have the enamel
knocked off.

q UNDAY, July g, in The Washington Times,
- Ray Mcnamara, whose articles More Miles
~ Per Car" have been read by millions during
the spring months will commence his annual tour
ing series, which he calls "Tips for Summer Trips"
There are many experts in the automotive industry
perhaps as experienced as Mcnamara, but it is con-
ceded by the leaders that Mcnamara, by reason of
his simple style, is widely read by owners than
any automotive authority in America. While he
has spent lifetime in all the mechanical and tech
nical secrets of the industry, Mcnamara discusses
owners problems in what is called "sdeWalk" Ian
guage.
Touring more than any other branch has been his
chosen work in the automotive world. He has
driven over every known highway well as many
trails in the desert and mountains unfrequented by
gasoline users.
To the motorist contemplating vacation trip by
automobile, especially the so-called "tender-foot,
McNamara's series on trips will be invau-
able Even the owner who has motored many years
can economic and profit by the precautions and
common-sense suggestions contained in McNamara's
articles
The first installment will discuss preliminary con-
siderations Subsequent articles will cover all the
important phases of motoring, outside of city traf
fic, especially vacation expeditions. The entire
series will be printed in twelve instalments.

Big Reduction Made On
WHY'S Overland Car S

a deep reduction in prices of Ov-
erland and WHY'S knight cars, was
announced last Tuesday by officials
of the WHY'S Overland company.
The new prices are effective inn
mediately.
The new price of the powerful,
easy riding Overland touring car,
which by sheer merit of economy,
quality and comfort has attained a
dominant place in the light car field,
is $3.50 One year ago. this car sold
for $1035.
This is an additional reduction
since the reduction of AZ per cent re-
corded from September 1920 to Sep
tember 1921, a total reduction of a
per cent in a year and half, the
most radical reduction in motor car
prices in the history of the automo-
bile industry.
In 1916. the Overland sold for
$615. a price that was thought could
never be bettered. Today it is $115
lower.
The WHY'S knight touring car is
now listed at s1371 a further reduc
ton of $3.50 since the startling reduc-
ton of "a per cent made last Septem-
Der, a total reduction Of 40 per cent
in year and q half.

Arizona republican., 1922-03-12

George Moriarity, manager Of the
Harold L. Arnold Arizona branch,
declares that in various ways auto
motive engineers have for some time
struggled with the problem of keep
ing the engine of a car at a tenn
perature causing the low grade fuels
which have to be reckoned with now
adays TO vaporize properly. Various
devices, more or less effective in
practice, have ben installed in the
effort to solve the problem. Upon the
degree of success with which they
have met has in large measure de-
pended the pride of ownership" felt
by the owner Of any make Of auto
mobile.
If this is not accomplished by some
means or other the motor does not
function properly, raw gasoline is
constantly working past the pistons
into the oil reservoir, carbonizing
goes on at a merry gait, spark plugs
foul frequently and a wheelman with
the disposition of an angel is trans
formed into an automotive Bolshe-
visit, according to Moriarity.
Experience has made plain that one
OF the most effective mechanical
schemes so far applied TO get past"
the evils resultant upon the use Of
low grade fuel is the radiator shutter.
Used in connection with a moto-
meter, which keeps a driver informed
at all times as TO the heat OF his
engine, this device enables him at all
times TO control engine heat.
BY closing the shutter completely
n car is put in condition for running
much more quickly than would other
wise be the case. When the motor is
heated to the efficiency point the
shutters may be opened just wide
enough to maintain that temperature.
The width of the shutter opening de-
pends, of course, on whether the en-
gine is laboring under a hard pull, is
going against or away from the wind,
on atmospheric temperature and va
rious other features. But always at
control of the driver is the instru-
ment which allows him to maintain
proper temperature.
The radiator shutter In combina-
ton with the motomster has for some
time been one of the strongest SELL
ing points swung on prospects by
dealers in Hudson and Essex cars.
1t has recently been supplemented by
a "hot spot" device on the Essex and
a. fuel heating mechanism on the
Hudson. one of the leading argu-
rnents in favor of the radiator shut
ter has been the fact that when
car is driven to the curb the shutter
may be closed and the heat of the
engine conserved for some time.

LANTERN THIEVES
CAUSING TROUBLE
IN CALF FORNIA A

Advices from California indicats
that the stealing or misplacing Of red
lanterns along highways and streets
is causing an epidemic of accidents
which has attracted the attention of
various motoring organizations in the
Golden state.
Red lanterns used to indicate places
where roads are under construction,
or to mark piles of refuse, have been
taken in dozens of instances lately,
states the information.
Action is to be taken in the matter,
Just as fast as the lanterns are taken.
The engineering department OF the
state highway offices already has Sc
cured convictions on this score in san
Diego county.
Most trouble recently has been re-
ported between Los Angeles and Ba-
kersfield. where very dangerous spots
have been left unprotected at night
by the theft or destruction Of the red
lanterns left at these points to warn
motorists of the danger.
The lanterns themselves are not OF
any particular value, and for that
reason officials are puzzled as 70
the reason for the recent wholesale
thefts. In some cases the lanterns
have been destroyed by careless
drivers.
Efforts are now being made by the
Automobile Club of Southern Cali
fornia to run down the miscreants
who are perpetrating the dangerous
work.

NEW S348 CAR
CREATES REAL
EXC|TE EMEN Mt

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March IL
(Special)-The three hundred and
forty eight dollar car which w. c..
Durant promised three weeks ago
that he woud unveil in Washington
is now on exhibition in the Connecti-
cut avenue showrooms OF Harper
Brothers. Mr.. Durant and a party Of
friends and associates, including his
son, r. c. Durant, president Of the
Durant Motor Company Of Califor
MIA, were here at the first showing.
'gThe new product is to be known
as the Starr Car. and is TO be man.
ufactured by the Durant Motors,
Inc. under contract with the Starr
Motor company. which control the
distribution of the car in the United
states and its possessions said Mr..
Durant,
"The Starr Car has created great
deal of interest among those who
have seen it. They did not think that
it was possible to build a car which
embodies so many features of the
high price classes TO sell in CONS
petition with the lowest priced cars
four cylinder Continental Red Seal
motor, and the touring car is built
to carry five passengers in comfort.
Mechanical features include a disc
clutch, selective sliding transmission
with three forward speeds and re-
verse, Timken bearings in front and
rear wheels. together with a Tim
ken axle. and HotchlSiss type drive
shaft The Tubular backbone" an
exclusive Durant feature, is incor-
porated in the frame, giving strength
and rigidity to the body.
"The body OF the Starr Car is Of
full streamline design, with a high
hood and slanting windshield. It will
be produced In all popular models. 1t
has semi elliptic springs, vacuum
feed gasoline tank, and is electrically
equipped"
Since the announcement was first
made, three weeks ago, many con-
lectures concerning the new car have
been current throughout the coun-
try. The Starr Car. as was expected,
is something of a sensation. because
1t contains so many features that
are not possessed by any other low
priced car.
Mr.. Durant has promised quantity
delivery by June /. but declined to
state which. if any. of his five plants
would be used in its manufacture.

cations for high priced materials. the
operation of new, more progressive
and more economical marketing plan,
and lastly, the hearty cooperation in
the plan to build more cars per man
each day. by. every employe in the
four plants the company operates.
These new prices place Overland
and WHY'S Knight cars in the front
rice rank in their classes. For the
past year and a half. the records of
these cars have proved their economy,
quality performance and comfort.
