Auto EmblemS

Tags Are Not Considered
as Accessories.

Emblems designed to be attached
to automobiles TO show member
shin in automobile clubs and asso-
Citations are no longer subject TO
a Federal excise tax. according TO
a ruling by the Internal Revenue
Bureau. The question of The F.
tice of this tax was raised by Ia.
Legislative board of the Nation&
Motorists Association.
Under regulations "'""'''
the purpose of Interpreting section
900 of the Revenue Acts of 1918
and 1921, the radiator emblem was
held 10 fall within the category
of an automobile accessory or part
The request which brought about
the amendment TO the regulations
was submitted several weeks ago
to Deputy Commissioner A. C.
Holden in charge of sales tax. IT
was supplemented by a brief which
emphasized the points brought out
in the oral argument as TO why
the emblem was improperly class
flied.
These arguments We're fully sus-
tained in a communication from
Deputy Commissioner Holden, in
which he says:
"You are advised that this Of
flee now holds that emblcms. de-
signed TO be attached to automo-
biles TO show membership in auto

AUTOMOBILE TICKS
FASTER THAN WATCH
Debate on Mechanical Merits
Brings Out New Way
of Comparison.

Which il more marvellous from
~ chanical standpoint, watch or
an automobile? This question was
The subject of an interesting discus
sion the other day in the office OF
'Obert X. Jack, chief engineer or
the Olds Motor Works, Lansing,
Mich. The debates. all attached to
the engineering staff. naturally
brought acts and figures 20
prove their pspective contentious.
Those VIII champiOned the cause
Of the watch got out their pencils
and figured that a watch ticks sixty
times a minute. 5000 times in one
hour. &c. times in one day, 81
536. 900 times a year and $50, ,72O 900
times in twenty years.
Those who We're for the motor car
admitted that a watch did a won
derful job of work and were bit
skeptical about proving their point
until they began to figure what the
Oldsmobile Eight has just done on
a $4,000 mile tour for the Frint
Motor Car Company. of Milwaukee,
in ticking" a record.
They too got busy with pencils
with this result: While the car is
travelling one mile. the engine turns
over 3,213 times. There are 1882
separate explosions taking place
while the car il travelling this dis
tance. Carrying out this line OF
thought "A = little farther it was
proved that one explosion takes
place for each five inches of car
travel and by the time the car has
completed its $4,000 mile journey
there will have been 642 100000 eX-
plosions in the engine.
In other word says Mr.. Jack.
since this car was driven the en-
tire $4,000 miles in seven months,
there were more explosions in III"
engine in that time than a watch
ticks in twenty years. This may h"
a crude way of putting the case OF
the automobile for endurance, but
it is comparable at least with a
mechanism familiar to almost every
one. The comparison is all the more
startling when one considers that
every explosion in the Dldsmobile
engine represents an instantaneous
explosive pressure of approximately
800 pounds per square inch.

HEADLIGHT LAWS
!. CAUSE CONFUSION
Variety of Statutes Makes
Trouble for Interstate
Auto Traveller.

The United States Bureau OF
Public Roads is authority for the
statement that recently motorist,
in passing through four States, was
compelled to buy four different sets
OF headlight lense for his car.
This was necessary to comply
with The laws of four individual
States.
The N. M. A. is making an in
vestigation of this problem for the
purpose Of recommending solution
for adoption by the respective States
that will be uniform in all OF its
operating features.
In a statement on this subject,
Secretary Galley, of the N. M. A,
says that what Is fish in one State
should not be fowl in another State. "
Many of the State statutes
throughout the country carry pro
visions that were promoted by the
lens and electric corporations on
which they have "waxed fat" and
all at the expense of the motoring
public.
gullible motorist was by MasSa,
chusetts in the form Of a tail light

ing car to flash by. II you cannot
read the number on fast moving
vehicle during the day time, then
all the special lights in, under, or
around registration plate will not
show up the number unless the num-
Der itself is of "A distinctive and
legible character.
We all know that there is need
for regulation of headlights and
spotlights and that they will not
present any unnecessary glare when
passing other vehicles. However,
this Is not the last solution of anti.
glare as street and highway grades
change the focus or alignment Of the
light, and there is not a State that
does not have highway grades of
one degree or another.
The engineers of the country will
be asked to go into more intensive
study of this problem so that the
headlight nuisance can be regulated
by "fool-prOof measures.

Factory in Toledo
Produces 100000
Spark Plugs Daily
On Present Schedule I'll Every
Minute Are Turned Out by
Champion Plant.

The factory of the Champion
Spark Plug Company, at Toledo, Is
,aid to be the largest In the world
devoted to making this important ar
ticle OF motor-car equipment.
On it's present schedule, the Cham
pion Company Is making 10000
spark plugs each working day, which
means that they are being produced
at the rate of 271 per minute.
1t doesn't mean that Champion
plugs are really turned out in frac-
tiors of second, Of course. Act
ually each plug is several days in
process of manufacture. But il does
mean that in 1922 the Champion
company made more than $4,000, 900
complete spark plugs.

EXTRA TANK is GOOD
PLAN FOR LONG TOUR

A tourist who was anxious to make
good time over county not too
plcntifully supplied with filling sta
tions installed a second fuel tank in
the rear of his car. This second
tank, salvaged from wrecked car,
was OF standard type and was
mounted on two stout brackets,
screwed to the rear seat frame.
Strap irons were placed about the
tank and also secured, and TN" vent
on the undcrside was provided with
an extension pipe and valve which
could be padlOcked.
Under ordinary driving conditions
the second tank was kept empty. but
AT certain times this. too. was filled

To Ride Easier, Hit
Bumps with Clutch Out

Throw out the clutch when about
to 20 over a bump in the road. 1t
is surprising how much easier the
car rides when this is done. The
car merely coasts over instead of
being driven. and so the shock is
reduced. II there is room. il is
well TO approach such ohstructions
at an angle: then only one wheel
strikes il at time, and the shock
is still further reduced.
