Hotel Parking Facilities.

One of the new problems for the
modern wide-awage hotelman is that
of providing ample parking space for
the accommodation of his guests
cars. Some hotel managers are at
tacking the problem and are meet
ing with success: others allow the
city to put through ordinances re-
stricting parking around the hotel
and seek no way to make 1t easier
for the motorist to stop on Where
the latter is the case the motorist Is
justified in driving on to some other
hotel that can offer him the sort OF
service the tourist of today expects.
When a hotelman sets aside some
of the land adjoining his building
for the exclusive use of guests as
parking space he deserves to be
patronized. This is also true OF the
hotel that offers free storage of cars
in its own garage. There are a num-
ber of cases where such services are
comparatively speaking. they are
rare. Most hotelmen are trying to
make it as easy as possible for the
motorist by employing doormen. who
keep the street in front of the hotel,
or to the side, reserved for guests.
They have a way Of doing it very
skilfully.
In this connection it would seem
that the least any resident motorfst
can do is to discourage parking In
front of hotels by other than tour
lists. The driver who leaves his car
in front of his home town hotel, when
he could just as we'll park it else
where, will live to witness the day
when he'll want to stop in front of a
hotel. only to find a lot of resident
cars in the way

observer this means that noon IS at

One would have to. be totally blind
not to be able to read l pm. from the
motor sundial. Discarded paper bags
gives it away. 1t is time to be on

just as easy to know what time IT IS

The Old Mechanic Says:

Ever notice how some Of these cars
with semi floating rear axles give a
peculiar creaking sound when they
start off? The noise seems to come
from one Of the rear wheels, and
sounds like something in need Of
grease. When I spoke to one party
about the noise his left hind wheel
made each time he left in the clutch he
explained that the trouble was due to
the left brake band. He said it need
ed cleaning and readjusting. I asked
him where he got the fool idea, know
ing darn well that some service sta
tion mechanic who used to wash cars
before he decided there was more
money in pretending to be mechanic
gave him this line of talk.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with
the brake bands on these cars and
never was. It's simply a loose wheel
on the axle. A lot Of drivers don't be-
lieve this when I tell 'em. because
thew unscrew the hub cap, take out
the cotter pin and find that the nut on
the axle seems tight enough. But
that's Just the point. The nut is tight
enough to furnish plenty Of pressure
between the wheel and the axle. put
not tight enough to keep the wheel
rieidly attached to the axle. The
shaft turns slightly in the wheel hub
when the clutch is let in. making the
same sort Of noise you would get py
screwing a tapered glass stopper into

Did You Know That

There is such a thing as a happy
medium in the matter of tire infla-
tiono Since soft tires make easier
riding for both passenger and car
and since tires are lesser expense
than car depreciation and repairs. it
follows that there is no particular
economy in adhering rigidly to the
pressures recommended by those who
are interested in tire economy to the
exclusion of the car and riding COM
fort However. il the tires are kept
too low the damage caused by crack
ing the castings and overheatins
them may be a source Of many pune
lures and much annoyance. Fifty
fifty is the answer.
Tire imitation ought to be done in
installments rather than all at once?
Most drivers will admit that the
usual procedure is to let the matter
slide until the tires look low and
then run them way up to 55 for
cords and 20 for fabrics. or perhaps
higher. This makes an abrupt change
in the cars riding qualities: rattles
and suueakS suddenly appear. and

Ferry Boat Precautions.

Merely setting the emergency
brake when taking the car across
a river by ferry Is not suficient as
surance that the car will stay in
place when the boat docks abruptly.
Even when the car is placed in gear
the shock may be enough to move it
the distance necessary to cause a
slight collision with the car ahead.
The safest plan is to apply the serv-
ice brake. in addition to the other
precautions. just as the boat DOCKS.
At this point ii is wise to remem-
Der to keep your eyes on the floor
of the boat rather than on the back
of the car ahead. Unless you fix
the eyes on some very near object
slight movement of the machine
will not be discernible. Cars have
been known to roll of the ends of
boats because the drivers did not
notice that they were moving until
1t was too late.

Curiosity and Safety.

The psychology Of New York
states highway warning signs is in
teresting. Instead of saying
danger" sharp curve ahead"
bridge" etc. these signs simply
read 'Caution." This isn't 4 very
exciting warning either on paper or
on the Sign post. but it exercises the
curiosity. The driver doesn't know
whether he is coming to washout
or q steam roller. And because he
doesn't now he is interested. Be
ing interested he is In doubt. The
road may develop nothing in paTticu-
lar; yet, on the other hand. he may
get fooled il he tries to defy the
warning. Consequently he treads
iightly-upon the ascelerator. He
obeys the sign without meaning to.

Parking Pointers.

Consideration of the other driver
is not always q matter Of altruism;
more often it is question OF ones
own interests. Thus the man who
tries to leave ample space for
another car when he has parked
isn't an easy mark who is too con-
siderate OF others. but a wise driver
who knows what a mess most driv-
ers make of parking and how often
they rip tenders off cars that are
too near the battle ground.
Turning the wheels straight ahead
or in toward the curb when parking
or when starting away from the
curb can always be simplified by al
lowing the engine to move the car
slightly forward or backward while
steering A lot of unnecessary wear
is inflicted on the steering assembly
by trying to manipulate the front
wheels while the car is not in
motion.
