HARD-BOILED AUTO DRIVERS 4
ARE GOING OUT OF STYLE; NO
SYNTHETIC CHAUFFEURS NOW

Hard boiled auto drivers are go-'
ing out of style.
Most motorists now arc really
soft boiled.
Synthetic chauffeuring is has
been,
These deductions have been
reached from recent Investigations
conducted by the safety and tour
ing bureaus of the Automobile club
of Southern California.
There was a time, it is pointed
out, when to operate Il ear in a
hard boiled and defiant marner,
taking the right of way regardless
of the rights of others, breaking
through traffic at every opportun-
ity, and cutting in was considered
not only smart but very stylish.
New Driving Standard
Now automobile drivers are
learning that the smart driver
is one who drives courteously and
observes the general traffic rules
of his locality. 1t has been found
out, said an automobile club off
cial, that greater speed can be
made this way, fewer accidents re
suit, and a better appetite is had
for dinner.
Under the skin, the majority of
motorists are really becoming soft
Imperial Valley press., 1923-08-25

boiled. They are allowing their
kind hearts to be uppermost while
driving their cars and are becoming
more considerate of others.
Synthetic or Diluted driving
of motor ears is largely giving way
to experienced operation of auto
mobiles. There are fewer "bone-
head operators because the ma
jority of potential auto owners
have passed through the kiIfdergar-
ten stage of motoring and have set
tied down to businesslike diving.
New Driver Is Hardest
Weeks of investigation as to the
cause OF accidents on the part of
the Southern California club has
resulted in the knowledge that the
hardest driver is the newest
driver. In other words, the owners
of new automobiles are inclined to
be more aggressive in the operation
of their ears than are the seasoned
owners.
1t is not only ineXperience on the
part of the new ear owners which
accounts for the large number of
accidents with new ears, say the
authorities, but rather because of
the tendency toward reckless driv-
ing when they begin to feel their
oats.

Cross Town Bus
Service Started
In Los Angeles

Cross town bus service, long the
subject of much heated discussion
as one aid to the solution of Los
Angeles traffic problem, has at
last become reality.
Last Saturday regular crosstown
service was inaugurated by the
Los Angeles Motor Bus company on
Western avenue, between Los Feliz
boulevard and Siauson avenue.
Prior to the Inauguration of this
service, 1S of the buses took part
in a monster parade.
These Is buses, the first of a
large order placed for future deliv-
cry, included Morelands, Fageols
and Whites. all of the most ad-
vanced type of motor construction.
1t is interesting to note that the
Morelands and Fageols are west
ern product, both being manufac-
tured here in California.
Already so of the buses have
been ordered from the Moreland
Truck company, 10 of which have
been delivered.
These 10 are all Goodyear equip
ped with 36x6 pneumatics, and have
dual tires on the rear The combin-
alton of Moreland trucks, BEST
for the west' and Goodyear tires,
Los Angeles made for western
trade speaks well for the home
patriotism of the officials of the
Los Angeles Motor Bus company
who specified them.

FEDERAL BUREAU OFFERS BOOKS
ON HOW TO BOOST GAS MILEAGE

Substantial savings of gasoline,
by the periodical adjustment of car
buretors, based on the results of
analysis of exhaust gases from au-
tomobile engines, are declared to
be feasible by the federal depart
ment of the interior, following ex-
periments made by the bureau of
mines on the fleet of motor trucks
used by the government fuel yard
in Washington.
As the result of carburetor ad-
justments made by gas analysis in
the bureau s experiments, an actual

ENTIRE SOUTH
TO COOPERATE
In LAW DRIVE

First steps toward the establish
ment of uniform automobile law
enforcement throughout the south
ern counties of California have
been taken.
That vital necessity exists for
cooperation among the various
smaller towns, cities, and counties
of this part of the state. is the opin-
ion of traffic experts who are MAX
ing it their business to see that
motoring is conducted in a harmon
ious manner.
At a recent meeting in Los An
geles county, officials of the var
ious communities decided upon con
cerfed action in various "drives =
to be conducted in enforcing the
new motor vehicle act. With this
movement the Automobile club of
Southern California has signified
itself as being in sympathy.
Cities to Cooperate
As things now stand, it is point
ed out, one city may start drive
on illegal headlights and fail in its
efforts because the surrounding
communities are not making similar
endorsements of the law. Other
towns fail in their law enforcement
because they do not have the CO.
operation of the entire territory in
their work.
1t is proposed that under the new
new system all counties and com
munities will be able to function
on the same thing at the same time.
This will eliminate any hit-or-
miss attempts to bring law evaders
to time.
Concerted Movements. Planned
AS the plan now stands, every
county will operate with a conf
mitte9 representing the various
communities, so that the counties
and this general committee will
agree upon and indicate the con-
certed movement of the entire ter
ritory in enforcing various sections
of the motor vehicle law, such as
glaring headlights, obscured license
plates, and other infractions.
An inter locking system will
then be worked out between the
counties so that every county will
be functioning at the same time.
Thus, no isolated community
will be endeavoring to enforce one
section of the motor vehicle law at
one time and another at another
and SO on. Glaring headlights
which will be checked in one COM
munity will then be stopped in all
communities, and so the law evader
will have very little chance to
escape.

CURE sQUEAK1NG BREAKS

Squeaking is often due to dirt
and grit imbedded in the brake lin
ing. When the brake lining is fore
ed against the drum, squeaks and
chattering sounds develop This
condition may be temporarily climi-
mated by pouring water on the lin
ing; however, the best r,.medy is to
remove the band. A good stiff
brushing with wire brush and
kerosene will remove the grit. IF
the grit is deeply imbedded, mix
ture of powdered resin and castor
oil applied to the lining will remedy
the trouble. If the lining is worn
so that the rivet heads come in con
tact with the drum, squcaking will
result. The best remedy in this
case is to replace the lining, al
though the condition may be i'm
proved by sinking Che heads below
the surface Of the lining.

RATTLING TENDERS

Rear tenders on number of
light ears are poorly ironed and
usually after several months of SER
vice begin to rattle. A simple
means of overcoming this trouble
is to insert large screws through the
apron of the fender into the body
to pull the fender into position and
then tighten the sivets in the irons.

MAKING RIVET SET

In heading large rivetS, It is al
ways advisable to use a rivet set,
and in many cases this tool is alb
solutely essential to make a good
job. A rivet set can be made from
a bar Of steel, an old chisel or SINH
lar tool which is heated and formed
on the head of Il rivet held in the
jaws of n vice.

THE BEST OIL

Although an engine may consume
only a gallon of oil every thousand
miles or so, it is unwise to trust to
previous experience to this respect
when touring. Some time in the
course of each day-not first thing
in the morning when the oil will
be cold and difficult to pour-a
sufficient dose should be given to
the engine to bring the level up to
the maximum mark on the indica-
tor. And remember that the use of
cheap oil is not economy. Only the
best, no matter what the price,
should be used.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-08-25

So per cent. When the mileage is
compared truck for truck, and not
taking into consideration the dis
tanee each Travelled during thu
month. the increased mileage equal
ed 24.7, 21.2 and 1862 per cent, re-
speetively.
The adjustment of carburctors by
analysis of exhaust gas is based
upon the fact that the carbon diox-
ide in the exhaust is direct indi-
cation of the air-fuel ratio and
completeness of combustion. In
turn, the air-fuel ratio and com
pleteness of combustion tells
whether the earburetor is properly
adjusted for maximum power and
gasoline economy.
Other conditions being constant,
the mileage obtainable varies as
the percentage of carbon dioxide in
the exhaust gas and air-fuel ratio.
This has been little realized by
most garagemen in the past. The
other factors are carefully watched
and guarded against, while earbur-
etor adjustment is usually left to
the mechanic or driver who adjusts
according to his own notions. Us
ually the adjustment is far too rich
for maximum economy. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule. A
determination of the carbon diox-
ide content of the exhaust gas
while the vehicle is being operated
on the road gives a positive indica
tien of the earburetor adjustment,
and removes all guesswork.
The results of the bureau of
mines experiments show that ad-
Unstable carburetors tend to become
more richly adjusted with lapse of
time, and that the adjustments
should be checked at least every
two months to maintain the most
economical adjustments. If the
monthly mileage is recorded, it be-
comes only necessary to check the
adjustment of those that fall be
low the usual mileage which should
be obtained when properly adjust
ed. The carbon dioxide indicator
used for making the adjustments
while the trucks were operated was
found to be practical and easily
operated by lavmen inexperi-
enced in tn ling of chemical
