Many engineers are working on
this problem Of finding compounds
that Will eliminate knocking. Num-
erous substances have been found
TO DO more or less satisfactory Job.
We subjoin a list of those discov-
cred, so far, beginning with ben
zone, which we shall denominate
as 100, giving the others a ranking
on the basis Of this 100. Our read
ers will note that the tetra-ethyl-
lead, which we spoke of early in
this article, gets a rating of 625,
meaning that it is more than six
times as efficient as the benzone.
Benzone, 100; teluene, $50: kyleno,
128; alcohol, $50; acetone, ia; ethly
iodine, 1855; xylindine, 1875; tetra-
ethyl-tin, 210, and tetra-ethyl-lead,
625. $1,000
There is another method OF re-
ducing engine knocking, which con-
sists in feeding into the engine con-
siderable quantities of water or
steam. No especial equipment is
needed, merely a tank to hold about
five gallons OF water and a lead
to carry the water into the intake
above the throttle. There must be
a control for shutting off the water
when the engine is not running or
you will flood the power plant.

"You can't make the Pixies Peak

made by c. H. Warrington, whose
1928 line of Chandler cars are
equipped with the new power plant,
which created such a sensation at
the national automobile shows.

acceleration, even in the highest
priced cars-they produced more
efficient motor, developing more
power without increasing the size or
gasoline consumption; a vibration
less motor, at all operating speeds;
and a motor free from oVerheating.
The victories over noise, vibra-
ton and heating all depend upon
each other. 1t was the achievement
of perfect combustion that brought
about in the Pixies Peak motor,
these ideal results
Every motorist knows that boil
ing indicates a loss lin efficiency,
with the attending danger of scored
cylinders, sized pistons, pitted
valves, and other troubles.
Motorists who have made the
Pixies Peak climb expect their wa
ter to boil away and filling Stations
are provided along the route. 1t
is the normal thing there, espe-
cially as the higher attitudes are
gained, where water boils at a low
temperature.

street speedster, who ic5 plling< up
frfghIful national toll. He said:
Much recklessness lis the sheer
deadly vanity of the man who steps
on the gas because he, wants the
world or his passenger to see what
virile end masterful fellow he is.
Nine cases out OF ten he's NUT
on-headed rather than masterful. =
This thoughtful, self-controlled
genial little Irish-Ameriean cut mis-
eye-teeth on racing tires and his
wisdom molars on track accidents.
No one would accuse him of being
falnt-nsarted, but he attributes his
Iaurels to a degree of caution which
the average driver would be
ashamed.
''The fellow who has an impulse
toward brayado,' said Jimmy, had
better overhaul his mental ma
Ihinery, especially IT hes sitting
at q steering wheel.
tOf course, every race driver
knows the seductions of the speed
siren melting him to careleSsneSS.
That's one of the temptations we
have constantly to fight, especially
during the early laps and brushes
when you're almost drunk with
exhilfaration.
There is such a thing as ex-
cessive speed even in places dedi-
Gated to speed.
But there's no place to teach
you the value of rigid self-discipline
like the speed bowl, where even
with the utmost precaution your
chances of life and death are al
most even.
i've seen many crashes and have
figured in several, and I have come
to have a high respect for danger.

see the chances taken by your
staggering driver of the boule.

Murphy, holder of the French

Jimmy's Irish heart yearns for
a green car, but he doesn't drive
in that color because too many OF
his friends have come to grief in

It's just one more way Of EN-

MORE GOOD ROADS
HELD NECESSARY
Automobile Club Roadman
Says Better Highways
Would Be Asset.

More roads-many more and much
better-is emphasized as a 81 eat
need of the nation in a yearly high
way survey made by o. M. Wells,
chief roadman of the Automobile
Club of America. Calling foe the
realization that the whole country
is highly motorized now and that
IS per cent of the people plan to
take their vacations by motor, he
says that the cities on good, hard
surfaced through trunk lines would
attract the most visitors.
AS soon as a man is elected a.
delegate to convention, Wells de-
clares, providing it is in the tour
ing season and the convention city
not too remote, the delegate de-
cides to kill two birds with one
stone and spend his vacation. mo-
toring to the convention with his
family. First, he wants to know
what the distance is; but the most
important question is. what are the
road conditions. Only cities approach
able by good highways, Wells in
sisted, could hope to entertain con-
ventions.
After discussing in considerable
detail road conditions throughout
the country, Wells brings a stern
indictment against automobile tour
lists and campers who, though law
abiding citizens at home think
nothing of disfiguring by their
carelessness the places where they
lunch or camp, and even have no
compunction about committing petty
thefts. He also scored the mis-
guided local enterprise that ruins
the attractiveness of it's own coun-
tryside by putting up petty trade
stands and hideous sign boards to
lure transient custom
In part Mr.. Wells reports:
want to say that we must
have good roads. and it costs
money to build them. When a
bond issue is proposed for good
roads, get behind your represen-
tives in the legislature and see
that the bill goes through with
a bang, because we must have
good roads.
Eighteen years ago the auto
mobile Club of America held an
endurance run from New York to
Waterbury,, a distance Of ninety
four miles. Seventeen cars started
from New York and only six ar
rived at their destination. Today
all Of New England is honey
combed with good roads and the
running time between New York
and Waterbury is about four
hours.
These are three prominent trunk
lines to Boston, all in excellent
condition, as well as the roads
around Cape Cod and the shore
road from Boston all the way to
Calais, Me-, through Portsmouth
and Portland
All the roads running north fol-
lowing the beautiful valleys Of
New England are in excellent con-
dition with improved hard sur

Last summer at the annual meet
ing of the Society of Automobile
Engineers, a startling announce
ment was made to the effect that
General Motors engineers had
found out a method of doping"
motor fuel so as TO make it yield
much greater power than it had
ever done before. There is another
angle of this question that is ex-
tremely interesting, from the pos
sibilities it discloses for future
engine efficiency and economy.
Our readers may remember that
tetra-ethyl-lead, the substance dis
covered by the General Motors
away with knocking in the engine.
Now we have always known that
we could increase the power of the
engine by giving it a higher COM
preston ratio and that in addition
to the greater power, fuel con-
sumption would decrease. But it
never has been possible to increase
the compression because this con-
dition in the combustion chamber.
induced frightful knocking. Now
with tetra-ethyl to eliminate the
knocking, compressions can be
raised and an infinitely more pow
erful and economical power plant
can be produced. All this for the
future.
There are other methods OF elimi-
mating or reducing knocking, seven
in the engines of today, of course
this doesn't incllde higher COM
preston and greater power output,
but it does mitigate an extremely
unpleasant condition. Alcohol and
benzol are pretty nearly anti-knock
fuels. 1t is possible to use alcohol
in our present engines, but there
are certain disadvantages, which will
prevent the pre-Volstead liquid
from becoming a popular fuel. 1t
