Old Wheeled

Who remembers the giant 40 and
42-inch wheels of the Oldsmobile
Limited and the American Under

These wheels were considered to
give unsurpassed riding comfort in
their day, yet the finest cars OF
the present, embodying luxury ana

No less an authority than {. L
Carlton. secretary of the corpora

says that there is NOT necessarily
any close relation between rae size
of wheels and their riding quality.
"It does not follow any longer
that the larger the wheel the more
comfortable the car" says Carlton.
Large wheels were supposed TO roll
over rutS with less jar than smaller
wheels, effecting in a measure the
filling in OF road dcpressions. AS
matter of fact, large wheels, due
to their greater inspiring weight,
magnifed the jOlts upon frame and
aXlcs caused by the rebound OF the
springs, tending to neutraliZe wha
advantage their greater size might
have provided.
To-day smaller wheels with tires
of no greater cross-section than
were formerly employed. are provid-
ing maximum comfort for cars Of
all types. from luxurious custom
built models to machines of lightest
weight.

Carbon in the automobile engine

forces its way past the piston rings
leaves heavy carbon deposit. The
carbon from this latter agent is
usually soft, is easily blown out

Edison IS Years Old.

Thomas A. Edison, famous inyento,
and scientist, was rs years old last Sat
urday, Referring to this event ire
Philadelphia Electric Company issued
a list OF achievements that are credited
to him.
lney include the first electrical vote
recorder in 1868; the acquisition of a
Job paying $500 month within wear
OF arriving penniless in New York
IN 1869; the invention of the stock
ticker, for which he received S4oOOo
IN 1870; assistance 10 Scholes, inventor
OF the typewriter, in 1871, and from
1872 to 1876 the inventor OF the moto.
graph, the autoquadruplex, sextuplex
and multipiex telegraph systems.
In 1876 he invented the carbon tel.
ephone transmitter that made COM
mercial possibility of telephony, and in
1877 invented the phonograph. In
1879 ne perfected the invention of the
Incandescent electric lamp, and in the
same year made radical Improvements
in the constructor of dynamo-e electric
machines, making them suitable for
generators for systems of distributing
light, heat and power. In 1881 he es-
taolished the first commercial incande-
scent lamp factory at Harrison, N. +.
From 1880 to 1882 he invented and in
stalled an electric railway for freight
and passengers.
He commenced the operation in 1882
at New York of the first commercial
central station for distributing light,
neat and power. In 1891 he invented
the continuous tape-like film that
makes possible the manufacture and
reproduction Of motion pictures. In
the years between 1900 and 1914 he
invented and perfected the alkaline
storage battery.
In 1914 he devised a plan for syn
thetically making carbolic acid, doing
away with the difficulty caused by an
chief source Of supply, England and
Germany.
In 1915 he aided the textile and rub.
Der industries by making mybrane,
aniline oil and aniline salt, formerly
imported from Germany.
The last two achievements men-
toned by the electric company are the
creation of the Edison questionable,
and the fact that he continues to work
from twelve to sixteen hours a day.
