FEW RECOGNIZE
AUTO ON SIGHT
Most Machines Are Nearly Alike
and Only Experts Can Distin-
quish Different Makes.
TURN attention TO DESIGN
One Good Way Is to Observe Name
Plate on Front of Car-Hub Caps
Offer Means of Identification,
as They Are Marked.

"How can tell the different makes
of automobilesT' is question often
asked by the man who walks, observed
New York Sun writer.
The best answer to the question it
seems is, you can't"
There was a time, some years ago,
when there were comparatively few au-
tomobiles, and these were readily dis
tingulshable.
Those were the days when the au-
tomobile manufacturers were concen-
trating their efforts on the improve
ment of the engine. 1t would make no
difference how beautiful cars We're
made If they refused to go. Their eff
forts were successful; the automobile
engine today Is as near perfection as
human products can get. So the manu-
facturers, the last year or so, have
turned their attention more and more
to design.
1t was natural that there should be
extensive adoption of some of the fea
lures of foreign made automobiles, for
design to American-made cars, great
deal Of hard work being involved in
their manufacture. 1t was also natural
that American manufacturers should
take the opportunity to carry out their
own ideas of design. The one result
has been to make all cars more alike.
Tell by Name Plate.
The one best way to tell one car
from another is by the name plate on
the radiator front of nearly every car
This is nearly always small and incon-
spicuous, and when car is passing at
a speed of 20 or 80 milessan hour it is
almost impossible to identity all cars
In this manner. Hub caps offer anoth-
er means of identification, as the huh
caps of virtually all cars are not only
distinctive, but are also usually
marked with some simple mark of
Identification.
There are cars that are distinctive
enough in design to be identified in a
glance. There are cars of the sport
ing" type, low and "rakish" and sug
geStlVe or speed; the sight OF Such a
car suggests only two or three posi-
bilities.
Cars of HomeIy Type.
There are cars of the "homely'
type, Of squat and serviceable appear
ance when such a design is caught
| sight of only two or three names come
to mind. There are the obviously ex-
pensive cars, cars which suggest lux.

ings. A. car of that description might
be any one of a half-dozen cars, the
aristocrats of the automobile world.
But outside Of these distinctive
types there are many cars, mostly OF
the middle price range, that are ex
tremely difficult to identify.

What measure can an owner take
to protect his automobile from thieves2
Not great deal, unfortunately, for
many things which would help reduce
thievery are things about which he as
an individual has nothing to say. The
things that he can and should do
are SO simple that they are self-evi-
dent. First, in buying a car inquire
whether or not 1t is equipped with a
locking device approved by the insur-
ance people. If you are installing a
new lock on an old car make the same
inquiry when buying the lock. There
are locks and locks; some of them
can be broken and manipulated by an
expert thief in minute or two.
Many Standard Locks.
Others really protect the car, and
there are about fifteen standard de-
vices. OF these, three lock the trans
mission, three the steering wheel and

You Auto Know

That the slightest lack of
alignment in the steering wheels
will cause tires to wear out long
before their allotted mileage
has been secured. This trouble
is usually due to slight collisions
or even failure to avoid holes
i'm the road. The strain bends
the equalizing rod and the
wheels are thrown out of true
possibly not enough to be seen
with the unaided eye but ap-
parent when measurements are
taken. AS a result of this, one
or both tires grind" with every
revolution of the wheel and the
wear comes on the portion of
the tire which Is not protected
by the heavy tread.
The remedy and also the pre-
vention of this Is to have the
front wheels inspected regularly
and to keep constant watch
upon the tires to see that they
are wearing evenly and that
this wear is being taken up by
the tread. Reputable tire manu-
facturerS guarantee their prod
uct for the minimum and not
the maximum number Of miles
which they ought to deliver and
the vast majority of failures to
secure this mileage are, due to
the carelessness of drivers, rath-
er than to faults in the tires
themselves.

BEST ALIGNMENT OF WHEELS
Tires on Front Of Many Cars Worr
Out Before Driver Finds Out
Real Cause.

Many motorists completely wear ou'
the front tires on their cars before
they find that the wheels do not run
parallel. In the ordinary car front
wheels are toed in 3-16 to 3-8 of an
inch to take care of their spread un-
der power. In the opinion of tire
men failure to properly align the
wheels is responsible for the prema-
ture scrapping of tens of thousands of
tires. Wheels of new cars require less
toeing in than the wheels of cars al
ready limbered up.
