Upon the representation that the

creditors as well as stockholders
of the Locomobile Company can be

eral creditors Joined in application
to the United States District Court
Wednesday for the appointment of
a receiver. The APPLICATION was filed
by McAdoo. Cotton and Franklin
of New York, and Pullman and
Comley of Bridgeport. with Edwin
8. Thomas. judge of the Connecti-
cut District Court.
The application sets forth that
the company is doing a consider
able volume Of business and has
something over ;5oO,000 in cash on
deposit Officers of the company
stated that several plans for re-
Organization were considered. but
that in any event the policy of the
company of a limited number of
high priced cars would be con-
tinued. Elmer H. Havens. presi-
dent Of the Locomobile Company.
authorized the following statement
in competition with the receivership
proceedings:
The banking and merchandise
interests and the present officers
of the Locomobile Company are in
agreement that a receivership is
the best solution to the problems
OF the company. II is a natural
step toward a proper reorganiza-
ton that should mako possible the
operation of the Locomobile plant
upon a sound financial basis.
Last fall when the Docomobile
Company terminated contract
with Hare's Motors. inc, under
which the latter had operated the
Locomobile Company's business. the
plant was heavily obligated in bank
loans and merchandise bills. While
plans were then under way for q
receivership it was. hoped that this
step might be averted and a re-
organization effected
The New York banking interests
and other creditors asked me to
assume the administration of the
plant Ny personal interest In the
Locomobf1e as q Bridgeport institu-
tion fmpelled me at a considerable
personal sacrifice to accept this re-
sponsibility.
Since then We have been able To
line up many of the old Looomo-
bile organization in our renewed
activities We have lowered the
price OF our various models on an
average of $1,000, and have been
able to get more than our share of
business in the quality motor car
field Although. owing to the
heavy burdens we have assumed,
our progress has been slow, II has
been steady. We have decided,
however. that the best means of
preserving the Locomobile as an
institution L. the receiyership.
This will enable US to carry out
one Of several plans through which
complete reorganization will be
effected. I am justifed in stating
very definitely that whichever pro-
posed alternative Is followed the
familiar policies of the Locomobile .
Company will ebe preserved.

These appropriations, forestry Of
acials state, will give a new impe-
tus to the work of opening up vast
tracts Of valuable timber and areas
of scenic beauty for the use and en-
joyment Of the American people
The development of roads and
trails throughout the forests will
aid materially in IRE protection. At
present there are large areas of
trackless wilderness within the Ma
tional Forests that can not be
reached by trails. When lightning
storms sweep over these inaccessible
areas, heavy fire losss of public tim
ber often occur.
Speed In reaching a forest ire,
foresters say. Is just as important
In protecting the country's forests

But high speed within the forests
means four or five miles an hour
over q mountain trail. 1t no trail
exists IL Is often impossible for the
fire fighters to average more than
-one-fourth of a mile an hour.
IN the past, construction of many
urgently needed forest roads has
been deferred for lack of sufficient
funds. Much Of this work can now
go forward. The Forest Service cs-
Inmates that eventually over $780,
ooo. 1000 will be required to supply a
thoroughly adequate transportation

Q. what is the Interpretation OF
the 1890" Titan tractor?
A. The 10 represents the horse
power at the drawbar and the 20
the pulley horsepower
Q. Recently I have found 1t dim
cult to shift gears upon starting
out in the morning; in fact. one
morning I could not shift at all
Everything seems to be alright af-
ter getting under way. What is
the trouble and remedy?
A. Undoubtedly the trouble sis
due to cold weather which tends to
harden the grease in transmission
case. When cold weather sets 1,
one can clean case of old grease
and use new of>a lighter quality.
II care is taken and gears care
fully creased during cold weather
suggest you continue as now.
Q. What causes secured cylinders
and can same be repaired.
A. Secured cylinders are the re-
suit of running without oil, with
too tight a piston or with a broken
paired by what is known as the
q
of soldering the scours with a sill
tory and guaranteed for the life OF
the cylinders.
Q. When I stop my engine unless
battery is completely run down In
the morning. What is the trouble
A. There is an automatic relay In
- 81 hAA 80
and battery which is supposed to
disconnect the battery from the
generator when the engine is not
running and thereby prevent the
battery force dischargfng. In the
case you mention the points are
evidently stuck close.
Q. What happens to a battery
when it is overcharged-a and how
high a charging is 1t safe to use.
A. Short circuited plates due to
brickling is a result of overcharg-
ing. 1t is safe to charge a battery
at any rate so long as the temper
ature does not exceed los degrees
Fahrenheit. The usual charging
rate however Is 10 to Is amperes.
Q. have an Oldsmobile model -
1916. The other day when I stepped
on the starting lever it would not
descend / kicked it rather rough
ly and still it would not 60 down.
A passerby, seeing my predicament
told me to shift to high gear and
then push the car forward when
the starting lever worked o. K.
What was the trouble, please, and
what shall / do about It?
A. When the starting lever on
this type of car rdecends it con-
meets the starter pinion and fly,
thereby moving an intermediate
gear into mesh with both. With
both fly wheel and motor pinion
stationary it is easy to understand
that it is possible to have two teeth
come opposite each other instead
OF meshing. To prevent this con-
dition the motor generator is so
wired that when the ignition
switch is in the On position the
armature, which carries the starter
pinion, revolves slowly until the
geaIs are meshed when the start
ing circuit is completed and the
regular starting action follows.

Q.swhat is meant by single and
two-wire system? - =
A.sA single wire system uses but
one wire in. the circuit, the return
being through the frame Of the
car, therefore all, apparatus used
on this system must havesone side
grounded. and extra care should be
used to prevent the one wire from
touching tho frame Of the car, as
this would cause a short circuit A
two-wire system uses a wire re-
turn instead OF the frame or the
car.

importance of Wheels.

Although the wheels need very
little attention. they should be
watched carefully because. Of their
constant work, sometimes under
very severe strains. Any mark
that exposes the grain of the wood
should be vanished over to pre-
serve it. The hange bolts of the
hub should also be cared for.
