found in it. and note written it said it contained
story article by Mark Twain and not to be opened

That is all that is known about it, The package is in

In order to simplify the operation

numerous printing devices operated

Some of these are simply small
measuring pumps mounted on the
dash, which force the fuel into the
cylinders or intake manifold in the
form of a spray. This naturally as,

these primers draw the fuel directly

as benZol and gasoline mixed.
Ether is an excellen printing
fluid for gasoline engines, since it
evaporates very quickly, even in
cold weather. Some motorists add
it to the contents Of the main
gasoline tank in the cold weather.

rifle hangs at it's side. A six-cyI-
Under shooting iron is holstered be-
meath its steering wheel. And it
is entered in a race around the
world.
This is a fairly accurate de-
scription of the car now being pl-
loted around the world by Neil
Wanderwell, entered in a race with
second car, piloted by Miss Wan
derwelrs brother, the welI-kncwn
automobile globe trotter, Captain
Walter Wanderwell.
The car is a Jordan Blue Boy,
with a special body specially adapt
ed to its peculiar program. On
the occasion of Edward s. .Jortlar's
visit to Los, Angeles last week,
the automobile magnate added his
6ASnctluLO " ILC d1ICt4Oy
on the car. Parked along the
curb, the car attracted no end IF
attention il the downtown district.
The race started in 1919 at At
1anta, Ga. It is to continue until
September %. 1924, and itsiwinner
will be the car which succeeds in
making the greatest mileage and
visits the largest number of coun-
tries. At the present time, unit
No. / of the race, which is the
Jordan Blue Boy, now in Los An
geles, is two countries and 5000
miles ahead Of the second unit,
now in Belgium.
The requirements of the Trip re-
Quire that each party must earn
every penny of the cost of the trip.
There are four in the party, and
their expenses are earned by selling
post cards Of the car.
From Los Angeles the itinerary
OF the car includes a trip to India
and to South Africa. 1t has al
ready been in North Africa, and
the schedule has been arranged
that September of next year will
see both cars as near back to their
original starting point as possible.

motorists fear to use ether, consid-

There are other printing devices
which not only spray the fuel into

well. Others dispense with the
printing action entirely, simply in.
trodScing a heating coil into the
manifold, so that the raw spray

Star Has Standard
Parts And Is
Attractive

when we tell people in our sales
rooms that the Star has Timken
axles and Timken bearings they
think that we are. actually kidding
Them" says Sales Manager Davis,
Of the Harper Motor Company.
TT seems incredulous to many
that such standard parts as Thinker
makes can be obtained in a car sell
ing at the low price of the Star.
Their wonder grows greater as each
subsequent unit is named. Red Seal
Continental motor and Parish &
Bingham frames are known to
almost every man, woman and child
as representing real quality. The
Star has both. Likewise Spicer uni
versals and Gemmer steering gears
are recognized as quality products.
When we show them the disc
clutch and the vacuum system they
grow suspicious and they hesitatingly
ask how much the car costs. Think
ing that they have heard incorrectly,
they ask again, and we often have a
hard time convincing prospect that
there is no added charge for any of
these features. That they all repre-
sent regular production and are in
cluded at the initial price of the
Star.
II think that almost everybody
knows about Feeders radiators. and
the Star has one, as well as Warner
gears and transmission, and a real
three-speed gear set it is. I don't
know Of another car that is any
easier to drive than a Star. The
gear shift is almost automatic and
so easy to operate. A mere child
can shift the gears"
The Washington times., 1923-10-27
SPEEDISFACTOR
IN MOTOR
TROUBLE
Rate at Which 1t Develops Is
Important Item to Be
Known,

When trouble develops in an en-
CINE, one point which is frequently
overlooked, but which is of prime
importance. is the engine speed at
which the trouble develops, says the
Automobile Digest.
In some cases the trouble develops
at high speeds only, in other cases,
at low speeds only, or at all speeds.
Considering the engine speed will
usually simplify the matter of To-
eating the trouble.
The length of time after the engine
is started which elapses before the
trouble develops should also be con-
sidered. A case which comes to mind
will illustrate this point. An engine,
after being started, operated salts
factorily at low speeds for a consider
able length of time.
The acceleration was good, but
after running at high speed for a
short time, misfiring and splitting in
the carburetor was noticed, The
latter symptom pointed to a too lean
mixture, but enriching it did not
remedy the trouble On slowing
down, the engine again operated sat
isfactorily, but speeding up again
developed the same trouble after q
short time.
The symptoms showed a carbu-
rotor trouble at high speeds only,
and the splitting in the carburetor
indicated too lean mixture, indi-
eating that the engine did not receive
sufficient fuel to keep 1t running at
high speeds for any length of time.
The trouble proved to be q partly
clogged fuel line which furnished
sufficient fuel at low speeds, but
which permitted the fuel level in the
carburetor to drop when the fuel con-
sumption was high. Though the
symptoms are not always the same,
even under the same conditions, 1t
nevertheless simplifies matters to
| quickly eliminate the causes which
do not apply
