FAHY MAKES TEST
OF new MOTOR OIL
Gains 25 More r. P. M. With
Lubricant, Asserts
Flyer.

Successful Official" tests of a
new lubricant which. mixed with
gasoline. is said to give 2s per cent
more mileage in automobiles. and
correspondingly greater power in
aeroplanes, were made yesterday by
Herbert ]. Fahy, aviator. In his sea-
plane.
In two trial flights against a stiff
wind, Fahy obtained up to 20 more
revolutions per minute from his mo-
tor while using the oil than with
out he said. He declared that this
was a remarkable showing. His
tachometer, which measures the
r. p. m. is an unusually delicate ma
val instrument. and he stated that
it registered up to 1850 r. p. m.
while it ordinarily makes about
1900.
The test was arranged by P. 7.

which is known as Desmond $
Miracle Oil" 1t was first produced
in November. 1921. but has not been
widely advertised. The oil is said
TO mix perfectly with gasoline. but
to remain unburned in the cylinder.
This lubricates the pistons and
valves and results in increased
power.
The test was made off the White
House View beach, At the Virginia
end Of the Highway Bridge.

RIGHT OF WAY SHOULD

Auto Associations Chairman Believes Rigid
Law Enforcement Necessary.

rule of the road. both in the city
and in the open country. is thai
the driver on the right has the
right-of-way. and there should be
a severe punishment for any person
who violates that rule.
The increasing number of auto
mobiles that congest traffic in the
cities brings more and more to the
front the question OF right -of-way.
Most cities provide in their ordi-
nances that the A. A. A. system of
giving the road to the man on the
right. except on through boulevards
shall be effective. but unfortunately
1t Is not always observed. There is
always the fellow who is willing to
take a chance in order to display
his driving skill. or to show OF
before some fair companion. and
this type Of driver should be the
target for every policeman's atten-
ton.
Automobile driving should be a
pleasure. There is seldom an oc-
casion where extreme haste is nee
essary. and the motorist loses
mighty few seconds in observing
the rights of the man on the right.
After you reach the hospital o-
morgue it doesn't matter much who
had the right-of-way. but a little
patience would avoid many a RUS

Hints to Autoists
By Local Dealer
Salient Features of Motor
Stressed by Durant
Distributor.

"A most important investment Is
the purchase of a motor car. If the
prospective buyer Is to get the most
out of his Investment" states R. H.
Harper, president Harper Motor
Company, local Durant dealer. cit
Is necessary that he is grounded in
the essentials of motor car knowl-
edge before hand.
There are ten important points
that THE purchaser should consider
carefully before making his selec-
tion. They are: O economy. (2)
power and flcxibility. (3) durabil-
ity. O comfort. t5) safety. (6)
convenience. ca ease and care, (s)
easy riding. t9 beauty. (1o) style.
ut would be a safe plan IL these
points were studied in the order
named.
Economy heads the list because
1t is the important question of the
times.
But a car having an economical
record, one which will give you a
maximum amount of mileage for
each gallon of gas. This is gov
erned by the type of motor.
the bearings. fabrication, and the
weight.
Power Is next important essen
tial to be considered. You do not
want to be bounded by any limita-
tion in this respect. You desire to
be able to go anywhere and at any
time. and for this reason. you want
power in your automobile.
"An asset which we all seek in
buying a motor car Is durability.
When one considers the amount in
volved In the investment, this Is
very important. This feature Of
car depends upon the character of
Its maker: his honesty. his whole
some ideals. his standards, his long
experience. and his success in the
automobile industry. His car Is
usually as durable as his record.
"Convenience and comforts must
not be passed by lightly. Purchase
q car which affords those little con-
veniences which make motoring
really enjoyable and free from care.
Follow these rules Of selection,
and the car you eventually pur-
chase will be Just q real good one
for your purposea."

MOTOR MANUFACTURERS
CALLED CONSERVATIVES
Novelties and Freak Ideas No Longer Make
Hit, Declares Executive

That the modern automobile
manufacturer has a definite demand
to meet. and that this demand calls
for conservative ideas in design and
construction. Is pointed out by A.
p. Kemp. president and general
manager of the Auburn Automobile
Company. He recalls the early
days of the industry when the mo-
tor car was a novelty and the pub
lie welcomed new ideas.
To-day the motorist knows the
mechanics of an automobile" he
said. HE knows what it must do
and what kind of mechan nism will
best give such service. He wants
quality first. durability. reliability.
He wants a car that will travel AT
reasonable rate of speed over the
normal kind of roads and keep at 1t
OF course. there are car owners
The Washington herald., 1922-08-20

who want something different from
the standard designs, and for these
the higher class of sport cars such
as the Auburn Sport are sat!sfac-
tory. But these better sport cars
are not in any way freakish. They
are simply different and distinctive.
The standard touring cars, road
sters and the closed models. nearly
all follow definite ideas that have
been approved by the motoring pub
lie. The big feature of successful
cars today. however. is the length
of time they have been successful.
the number of years of progress
and development back of the models
being offered today. We find that
most of our buyers are more i'm
