time by the Gasmobile achieved dis tinction by having small, high seat in the rear for a footman, such as was common on some of the carriages. Whenever this car struck bump in the road it generally lost the foot man.
 Traffic laws of that day were as weird as the automobile compared with those of the present. l was ar rested in New York for failing to have a man stationed 300 yards in front of my car with red flag. This was the requirement in the case of traction engines and the authorities insisted that the 'horseless carriage was a traction engine. I was also arrested for driving in Central Park" " | Carburetors on the early cars were as big as buckets, according to More land. The oiling system consisted of a metal container for oil from which long pieces of yarn led dsto the bear ings. The oil was drawn up through these yarns by capillary attraction and dripped down onto the bearings. l The first engines were made of ', bronze, as it was impossible to get good castings with gray iron. But these crude engines and the cars they powered ran we'll enough to give the designers courage to go on until the modern motor car resulted.

IGNITION REQUIRES FREQUENT
 ATTENTION 10 PLUjS

Perfect ignition in an internal combustion engine is dependent on the spark plugs. A dirty or defective plug can neutralize the best efforts of the most efficient ignition system, and the plugs should be carefully in spected and cared for from time to time if the engine is to deliver satis- factory service. ".r
 Spark plugs may be divided into two distinct classes-the type which may be readily taken apart and the, type which does not come apart. In the case of the two-piece plug, the porcelain core should be removed and carbon deposit scraped off. The metal shells and points should be cleaned in similar manner.
 Care should be taken in assembling this type of plug that the points be adjusted to the proper gap, and the porcelain core undamaged.
 Contrary to popular opinion, emery cloth should never be used for clean ing spark plugs. There is danger of the emery dust being carried into the cylinders. Furthermore, emery re- moves the glaze from the porcelain core, greatly increasing carbon ad- hesion, thereby causing short-circuits. The one-piece type of plug can best ] be cleaned by scraping the carbon with a disappointed knife.
 Where the carbon is excessively hard the plug may be reconditioned by boiling in lye and water.
 If time permits, either type of plug may be cleaned by soaking overnight in kerosene-the carbon residue may then be quickly removed with sharp knife.
 From time to time it is a wise plan to test spark plug for leakage. Squirt oil around the base and into the shell-the leaks will immediately show up by bubbles.
 A simple remedy for removing car bon from an oily plug is to fill the plug with gasoline, invert and light the fuel. The heat will dry the oil and permit you to remove all carboh by scraping or brushing with wire | hr,ISh

First H0rseless Carridge Reliability Run

next day two or three of us bribed the livery stable keeper to let us get at the Dedion-Bouton. We lost no time in opening up the crankcase and taking the transmission to pieces to see how it worked.
 eve did not find out how it worked and, worst of all, we could not put it together again. We toiled away at it until the livery stable man got wor- ried for fear the Frenchman would return and catch us all red-handed. All desperate and unavailing attempts to get the thing into running order we gave it up, dumped all the pieces into the crankcase and fastened the cover down.
 Later, when we were ready to start back to New York, the driver climbed in and tried to throw in his, clutch. The result was grinding and pound- ing that set him to tearing open the crankcase as rapidly as we had put it together.
 Neither he nor anyone else could repair the damage and it was neces- sary to ship the car back to France. In those days only the man who built an automobile knew what made it run and he wasn't quite sure."
 The Winton driven by Moreland shook it's water tank to pieces on the way to Bridgeport. Every other car in the run arrived in partially wrecked condition, but the completion of that 56-mile trip was hailed as a wonderful achievement.
 "It was a wonderful achievement too," asserted Moreland. "Automo. mile manufacturing had advanced. ''The Winton that I drove was re- markable as having the first jump. spark ignition system. The current was furnished by wet battery anc the sparkling mechanism was a sort o1 walking-beam arrangement on the outside of the car.
 'The popular ignition system at the time was the hot tube.' The gaso line was ignited by hot iron tube in serted into the cylinder instead of { spark plug. This was kept at tht proper temperature by an adaptation of the ordinary gasoline blow-torch. "The only tires were solid or single tube pneumatic. They were of thu type that had done duty on rubber | tired buggies.

FREQUENT WASHINGS SAVE,MUCH EXPENSE

The cost of refinishing or repafht- ing car is considerably higher than it was a year ago or even six months ago. It is necessary for the owner in order to save additional expense to take more pains in keeping the body finish in good order. This can be done by frequent washings, espec- ially keeping the body free from mud spots. Dust should be removed as soon as possible. The body should be polished at least once each two weeks. Attention to smaller fittings will save much money, as the cost of re-enamel- ling and nickeling is extremely high nowadays. It ought to be the duty of every owner to do as many things ,] as possible to keep his car looking Watch the pedestrian who tries to save time by rushing across the street in the middle of the block.

One hot summer afternoon 23 years ago a horse tied to hitching rack on the outskirts of Bridgeport, Conn.,, pricked up his ears nervously at strange and unusual sound down the road decided that the worst was go- ing to happen and went away from that place. As he whipped the buggy against telegraph pole and dashed around the corner the first car in y Americas first automobile reliability run hove into sight.
 The participants in this run includ ed the very latest models in touring cars of that date. They had started from New York and made the 56-mile trip to Bridgeport in three hours. Watt Moreland, now vice president of the Moreland Motor Truck Company, and then doing his best to keep the first Wintons running long enough to be delivered to purchasers, is respon- sible for the statement that it took them four days to get in shape to go back. Watt drove the Winton in the run and his story of it makes a page of automobile history.
 DediOn- BOutOn
 Strictly speaking, there were no automobiles. They were horseless carriages and known as such to the public and to the men who were grop- ingly seeking to improve their mech anism. In the New York to Bridge port run were William K. Wander bilt's original White Ghost" two Panhards, the first Packard, single cylinder car that cranked from the side; three-cylinder Oldsmobile, one of the first three-cylinder cars made, and the Winton. Last, but most sen- sational of all, was the Dedion-B -Bouton French creation that was the very last work in motor cars.
 "This was driven by French chauffeur with beautifully waxed rnustache," said Moreland. "He was garbed in the latest style motoring togs of that day, the principal feature of which was a long linen duster. And he sure guarded that automobile from the prying eyes of the other drivers. t"Everyone of us was laying for g chance to get at the Dedion and set how the wheels went around. It hac an individual clutch transmission, al ~ unheard-of mechanical feature il those times. This was housed in l; highly polished aluminium crankcase also something new in motor car re finement.

Proper imitation is as important as proper loads. Underinflation results in flexing of the layers of fabric which cause early deterioration of the tire.
