he has hit upon the "toning" solution
Mr.. Hammond has frankly announced
that what may be accomplished in
Italy very easily may prove extreme
ly difficult in the United States. In
Italy the wireless audience has not
been feted and nurturned upon free pro-
grams and understands that it must
bear its share of the burden of radio
broadcasting.
American Fan Spoiled.
The United States has progressed
to the point of free entertainment
where it would be little short of
revolution TO try suddenly to install
in this country system of broadcast
ing which would be utterly mute to
every set except those manufactured
by a given concern and licensed for
taking material out of the ether.
John Hays Hammond Jr., has
reached such peak of eminence in
wireless achievement that his views

Europe is torn today with discus

Germans had achieved this result.
Then England claimed it. Whether
or not young Mr.. Hammond has been
working on this phase of his favOrite
field is not generally known, but in
any event the United States authori-
ties are not nearly so excited as those
of the rival groups of European coun-

BILLION BOOST
 FOR FARM CROP
Chevrolet Official Sees Staple Demand For
 Motor Cars

Recent advance in price of farm pro- ducts which will increase the agricul- tural incomes approximately one billion dollars is cited by R. H. Grant, vice president and general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor company, as one of the most optimistic signs of a steady demand for motor cars during the fall months.
 "The cotton producing sections are assured of large money return on this years crop" and while a consider able part of this money will be used by the farmer and cotton growers to liquidate past debts and restore their credit, they will gradually be in the market for motor cars. A gradual but nevertheless steady recovery in general industrial activity puts a rosier com plexion on the coming months for busi ness.
 Two other factors in the motor car industry will make for stability for both dealers and manufacturer. The manufacturers are watching carefully their production, after having reduced the surplus of cars produced last winter and early spring, and the prices of cars are on the upgrade
 During the last few months 29 manufacturers have raised the prices of one or all of their models.
 Despite the fact that total sales will

SALES REPORTED
 ON THE UPGRADE.
Hupmobile For September Shows 9 Per Cent
 Increase

Indicating the upward business trend throughout the country, the Hupp Mo tor Car corporation reports that sales and manufacturing operations for July August and September were nine per cent larger than for the corresponding months of 1925. September was the fourth consecutive month in which sales have exceeded those of the previous one. They were II per cent larger than for August.
 The cOmpanys manufacturing opera tions for October are on larger sched' ule than for October, 1923, says Charles Kidd, sales manager. To meet the de mlnd, manufacturing operations are be- ing conducted on an S5 per cent closed car basis. Fifty-six per cent of Sep tember production was in closed cars For the first nine months, enclosed models formd 49 per cent of the en- tire output, including Canadian and ex- port sales.
 Hupmobile dealers report the demand for cars as being surprisingly good both in the agricultural sections and in the industrial centers for this time of year. The Kansas City district, in par ticular. has come to the front in SIT prising fashion. They say the recently refined Hupmobile is the most widely popular car Hubp ever produced.
 Export sales are continuing at rapi'l rate. For the first nine months they were 16 per cent above the correspond ing period of 1923. September ship, ments more than doubled those of Sep. tember, 1923.

FORD SEDAN HAS
 NEW UPHOLSTERY
Company Markets Accessories Through Dealer Organization

r Change in the upholstery in the Ford Fordor sedan, which has been effected lately, has given the car most attrac- tive interior.
 This Ford type, which has been high ly popular, since it's introduction into the Ford line, is now upholstered in a soft, durable cloth of blue-slate back ground relieved by royal blue stripe. Head lining and floor rugs harmOnize nicely in color and blue silk curtains on the three rear windows give an added tone of richness to the interior, equally effective in the day time and under the soft glow of the dome light at night.
 Appointments are complete, the Ford dash light, windshield wiper and rear vision mirror now being part of the standard equipment of the FOrdor Se- dan.
 With the change in upholstery, the closed car buyer is given a little more variety in the selection of a car for family use-the Fordor with its blue interior or, the always attractive Tuder, upholstered in dark brown. ' Upholstery in the Ford coupe remains in brown cloth, affording the most practical and pleasing effect under the wide variety of uses to which this pop ular Ford closed type is adapted.
 New Accessories
 Windshield wiper, dash light and rear vision mirror are three new accessories now being offered by the Ford Motor company through its extensive dealer and service station organization. In presenting these accessories, the com pany has followed the policy prevailing in the marketing of all its products, that of giving the highest quality at the lowest possible cost.
 The Ford windshield wiper is so con- structed that the double ply rubber is always pressed firmly against the glass and all vibration is eliminated, yet the wiper is easily operated. The steel handle has polished white metal grip which will not rust.
 The rear vision mirror is made of polished plate glass manfuactured by the Ford Motor company. The mirror is held firmly by clamps and an in genius arrangement not only permits ,asy adjustment to any desired posi-

Starting Trouble BY BARNEY OLDFIELD

Except in extremely cold weather, the engine should start on the first two or three turns. Even with the engine in perfect condition, hard starting may be experienced if the controls are not manipulated correctly.
 Advance the spark half way, open the throttle one quarter, pull out the choke. turn on the ignition and step or the starter pedal. The engine should start immediately. If the engine is warm because it was shut off just few minutes previously, the use of the choke may often be dispensed with, and in some cases pulling out the choke with the engine warm may make start ing difficult or impossible. If the en- zine balks without apparent reason while using the choke, crank the engine with the choke off. The engine should start as soon as the cylinders are cleared of the excessive rich mixture supplied by the choke.
 Hard starting may also be due to various slight engine defects. If the mixture is too weak adjust the car buretor, especially the lowspeed adjust nent. See that the spark plugs points are not too far apart-1-32 inch, that the breaker points are smooth and truS and that the gap when separated is ap- proximately 1-64 inch. Similarly on the Ford, the timer should be clean and not worn, the vibrator points should be smooth and true and adjusted to 1-32 inch, and the magneto should be in good condition. Excessive valve leak age due to need for grinding, or too tight adjustment after grinding may ns l. la the intake manifold may cause hard starting. This trouble may also be pro- duced by a carburetor with an auxiliary air valve, which has tendency to stick open. Dirt in the carburetor may make starting difficult, especially if the low-speed pets are clogged. A de- feet in the vacuum system, permitting raw gasoline to be sucked directly into the intake manifold may give starting trouble by producing too rich a mixture.
 A leak in the intake manifold may usually be revealed by running the engine and squirting oil into the various suspected joints. If the oil is sucked ill it shows a leak. A new gasket at this point is the usual remedy.
 In very cold weather easy starting may be achieved by priming the engine by squirting a little gasoline into the cylinder pet cocks, and in ay-below- zero weather, the engine should be primed with denatured ether.
 If hard starting is due to slow crank ing, see that battery is in good condi- tion as indicated by bright lights, and normal horn tone and a still more ac- curnte check on battery condition is to examine the electrolyte in each cell with any hydrometer. Fully charged cells should read 1.27O or above, while q badly discharged battery will read 1200 or below. If the battery is in good condition the trouble may be in the starting motor or due to excessive engine friction but it is more likely that the trouble Is due to loose or dirty con nections in the starter circuit.

run behind those of last year, still 1924 will be the second greatest production year in the motor car industry. Pro duction statistics for the first eight months of this year make a much more favorable showing than is generally recognized. In thi period output amounted to 2,537 ,517 cars and trucks, only 6.5 per cent smaller than for the corresponding period of 1923-yet re- presenting an increase of 51.5 per cent over the same months of 1922 (the second previous best year in the history of the industry).
 On the basis of present production, there will probably be 3,250,000 motor vehicles produced this year. This would not only be second best to the 1923 record production but would exceed the average of the last three years by about 100000 motor vehicles"
