OAKLAND CAR IS
SUBJECTED To
NEW TEST
Lubricating System Works Eff
ficientIy With Front Wheels
off Ground.

When an automobiles front
wheels are elevated by a special
framework at a 80 degree angle
and run about a city, 1t demon
strates at least one thing-the
lubricating system works efficiently.
Recently in San Francisco, which
seems to be the home of motor
car stunts of a striking nature,
Oakland distributors ran an Oak
land touring car about with its
front wheels elevated on a specially
constructed standard frame to
demonstrate that the motor was not
starved for oil on steep grade.
It is seldom that a grade Of
more than 80 degrees is encoun-
tered consistently in any part of
the country. The Oakland full pres
sure lubricating system takes care
of the bearings and engine under
all working conditions either up or
down hills.
That the oil goes only where 1t
is needed is indicated by the 15,-
000-mile written guarantee given
with the car against what Is
commonly known as oil pumping.
This guarantee has cost the COM
pany approximately one cent a car
since 1t was inaugurated two years
ago.

DEAR BARNEY OLDFIELD:

had a ven-passenger car
which developed into an oil punper
totherwiJe satisfactory. could
only run thirty-five miles on a
quart of oil. I had BATTLE plates
put in, then I got $50 miles on a
quart. l would like to have bought
one Of the small Fights but was
afraid of having the same exper-
fence with an eight-cylinder car
Can you tell me the cause Of this
and the cure, or has the factory
| overcome this trouble? When I
wrote them about it they could
give me no help.
I bought a new six-cylinder car
which l like fairly we'll but 1
have had some trouble with it.
After I had run 200 miles it de-
| veloped a noise like a valve tap.
When I would step on it the noise
would stop, then when 1 would
slow UP. 1t would start again.
There was also a noise like the
time chain dragging, but upon ex-
! animation found it was not.
The MECHANIC here said it needed
new tappets. He put in several
different ones but the noise kept
| getting worse. BY this time I had
| 400 miles on the car all run at
20 miles an hour or under.
The service man ordered new
| pistons, new rings and new wrist
pins. When they took down the
motor they found a connecting rod
bent. I still have the valve tap but
| the other noise is gone. / have tried
different tappets strife he put in new
pistons but the tap is there just the
same. Can you tell me what Is
| causing it?
| When slowing up for a stop, as
| d1sengage the clutch without using
the brake there is a chattering noise
under the car. Sometimes it sounds
near the transmission and at other
| times near the rear end. / can also
feel the vibration in the car. Can
you tell me what does this?
l.. NJ. r.
The new small eight-cylinder car
you mention is a good car and I
know the oil pumping causes are
brought about by poor cylinder
finishing. poorly fitting rings or
pistons or both, bad assembly and
to uneven cylinder wall thickness.
Piston ring trouble is the general
cause
The tap you mention may be
nothing more than a valve slap.
rms Is caused by a poorly fitting
valve or else one that strikes It's
seat too hard. Valve grinding and
reimbursement of tappets stops this
noise. The chattering is probably
caused by uneven pressure on the
drlVe produced by engine misfiring,
or else a clutch chatter.

DEAR BARNEY OLDFIELD:
My touring car knocks in reverse,

you help me?
A. J.
1t seems clear to me that the

the noise in this speed.
DEAR BARNEY OLDFIELD:
How can you tell the horsepower
OF 4, s, and 12.cylinder cars?
H. w. X.
The actual maximum horsepower,
known as the brake horsepower can
not be determined except by actual
lest. The taxable horsepower known
AS the N. A. G. G. is derived from
the formula DIX DxN divided by
2h in which ID is the bore and N
the number of cylinders. This does
not give maximum horsepower, but
gives the power developed at 1000
feet per mInute-piston speed, which
usually Is far less than maximum.

BICYCLE RIDERS GET
LESSONS ON TRAFFIC
Responsibility in Prevention of
Accidents Explained-Peril in
Hitching on Autos.

BY sending special field men to
visit schools for the purpose Of in
structing bicycle riders as to their
own responsibility and to educate
them to proper understanding OF
tramc rules and signals, the Cycle
Trades Of America is playing an i'm
portant part In the campaign for
safety. according to officials OF the
American Automobile Association
These field men, it is pointed out,
are neither selling nor advertising
any product They are employed for
the sole purpose of teaching children
who ride bicycles the rudIments of
tranic rules and the proper precau-
ttons to prevent accidents These men
point out the danger of crossing the
street, making q right-hand turn or
a left-hand turn without giving the
proper signal. and they stress es-
pecially the Importance of not at
tempting to hitch on" to an auto
mobile. showing the danger of acci-
dent from this practice
The American Automobile Associa-
ton has for some time used it's in
fuence in an effort to prevent bicycle
riders from "hitching on" to automo-
bires. as the motorist does not know
the bicycle rider is there and Is
liable TO make q sudden turn or stop

PREDICTS ADVANCE
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
D. c. Packard Representative Says
Startling Developments in Manu-
facture to Come in Future.

Further startling developments in
the automobile industry and the use
of motors is predicted by .. Cooltcap,
president of P.-W. Motors, Incorpo-
rated, Washington representative of
the Packard car. Speaking before
the District bankers in their recent
convention, Mr.. Coolican said:
The development of the automo-
bile has been rapid, but it is by no
means complete. The futuiN holds
rs many new developments as the
past-perhaps more. There are lines
of progress which have as yet only
begun to be realized.
There are significent possibilities
in the CO. ordination of railroad and
automobile transportation. There
was time when railroad executives
feared the motor truck as compet-
itor. Now the more far sighted have
begun to see II as very valuable
auxiliary-some. in fact, see it as
the savior of the railroad.
Still Elementary.
Farm to market transportation is
still on very elementary level of
efficiency. The facilities are made
uuate and unco- ordinated and they
are burden both on the farmer and
on the consumer. 1t is more than
probable the truck transportation
companies on "a large scale will be
organized to feed the railroads, both
In industrial and agricultural serv-
ices.
In 1922 the total volume of prod
ucts in the automobile industry
amounted to over $4,000, 900. 600. This
figure places D. third in the indus
tries of the country its total business
being exceeded only by the packing
industry and the oil industry, and it
is estimated that so per cent of the
oil industry's products was sold for
the operation Of motor vehicles. The
steel industry ranks fifth.
THE capital invested in the auto
mobile industry is Sl.100. 100000 and
it's production in 1922 was 2,4O0,O 900
vehicles, and / am referring to pas
senger cars only. And with the great
possibilities for future development
The automobile industry may yet be-
come Americas biggest industry in
