"One Trick aDay"
THE DIVINC ROTTLF

The action of this experiment de- bends on one of the most important factors in the study of physics. i. e., the transmission of pressure by liquids. Take a wide -mouthed bottle and fill it with water, and into this, mouth downward. place small corked vial of water having just enough air in it to keep it afloat
 Stretch a piece of sheet rubber such as a fragment of a toy balloon, over the mouth of the large bottle and tie it with a piece of string around the neck. When a finger is pressed on the rubber the small bot tie will slowly descend until the pressure is released, when the vial will ascend again.
 The experiment can also be per formed with narrow -necked bottle. provided the bottle is wide but not very thick. If the cork in the big bottle is properly adjusted, the small vial can be made to rise and fall by merely pressing the sides of the large bottle

 The new transcontinental motor cycle record, from Portland, Ore, to New York, is five days, 17 hours and 10 minutes. The run was made by Paul Remaley, and during the entire trip, he had only eight hours sleep.
 The city of New York is building a garage and motor repair shop, cost ing $3500.000. There are more than 5000 automobiles and trucks in the street cleaning, police, fire, plant and structures and other city de- partments.
 "Dynalkol" is sued as a substitute for gasoline in Czecho-S -Slovakia for the operation of automobiles, trucks and other motor-driven vehicles. The mixture is of 60 parts benzol and 40 parts alcohol. The fuel sells for <con- siderably less than the cost of gaso- line.
 Automobiling in China has become popular and thousands of natives take joy-rides for pleasure. It is not uncommon for a poor coolie to spend his last cent on motor ride that leaves him miles from home. He is later found walking back, satisfied in his own mind that his money has been well spent.
 The first carriage to be self-pro- pelled by means of an engine was constructed by Oliver Evans. in Philadelphia. Pa, in 1904. He called it the "Orukter Ampbiboles." It used steam power, and looked something like an animated prairie schooner with the canvas cover off and

COLE FEATURES BALLOON TIRES

To Indianapolis goes the honor of introducing a new motor car im- provement of real epoch making im- portance.
 J. J. Cole. president of the Cole Motor Car company, announces that balloon tires, with necessary wheel equipment, are now Cbtainable on all Cole current master models This is the first time that any factory has adopted balloon tires.
 The tires used by Cole are pro- duced by the Firestone Tire and Rub- Der company.
 Balloon tires are standard equip ment on the new Cole Aero-Volante and optional equipment on all other Cole models.
 "The perfected balloon tire" says J. J. Cole. "is really an outgrowth of the war and an aviation develop ment. Pliers found that it was im- possible to make a safe landing on rough ground a thigh speed on the ordinary type Of tire. By greatly charging the tire diameter, and con- strueting it so that 1t would have great strength under low, soft infla- ton, which of course, Is the whole theory of the balloon tire. they found that the heaviest bomb dropping planes, weighing tons, could be safely dropped out of the sky on rough ground and landed safely at 60 miles an hour. This is, of course the most terrific strain to which a tire can possibly be subjected and nothing but a balloon tire will stand it. That is a matter of history.

NASH LOOKS FOR
 BETTER BUSINESS
Continued Prosperity For The Coming Year Is Seen By
 Automobile Man

There is nothing on the business horizon that bespeaks anything but continued prosperity for the balance of this year, and every indication points to even better business for 1924" said c. W. Nash in 8 talk to dealers representing tho Nash Motors company al Milwaukee last week. T cannot account for the fact that peo- pie have been buying as many cars in August, usually a low month, as they did in June and July. According to all traditions of the automobile in dustry there should have been a marked falling off in August pur- chases. But our company sold more cars in August than in July, and ac- cording to all indications we will sell more in September than in August.
 This applies in general to all standard cars throughout the auto mobile industry. Only once before, in 1920, was there any similar volume of sales during the late summer months.
 "A remarkable fact is that farmers who are supposed to have been hit hard by poor crops or low prices are buying our cars. This is only one more proof that the motor car has be- come & necessity instead of a luxury in modern life"
 MT. Nash declared that the present day trend in motor car manufacture should be toward standardizatio "A man who buys car today should be in less danger than formerly of hav- ing his automobile made RntiQuated in appearance by radical departures in new body design" he said, and as to prices, I have always maintained that it is wrong to raise prices just because business conditions are good and the traffic will bear 1t and to decrease again when selling condi- tions are less favorable"

 Automobile manufacturers in Eng land propose to build serials in tho tops of their new model cars for the benefit of users who wish to carry a radio set on outing trips.

 The first International Motor Trans port Congress ever held in the United States. which will be attended by au- tomotive representatives from all cor ners of the earth, is to be convened in Detroit in May. 1924.
