Abbott Corporation Cites
Tests to Show Success
Of Auto Part.

Three years ago Dan Abbott, Of
this city, knocked bah Of carbon
from between the two electrOde
points OF an old-style spark plug
and thereby conceived the idea that
a movable center electrode would
eliminate the spark plug trouble.
The results Of this discovery lead to
the invention Of the movie spark
plug and the organization Of the Alb.
bott Spark Plug Corporation Of this
city as manufacturers and dis.
tributors.
The plug has proved it's worth
by tests. Recent tests add three
features to the plug besides the OIL
burning claim. 1t Is impossible to
foul the plug, due to the fact that
the plunger or spiral goes UP ana

The spark occurs while the plunger

COUNTRY CLUB
GROWTH DUE
TO AUTO
Offers Most Striking Example
Of influence Of Easy
Transportation.
BY ICY" HAWKINS,
Sales Manager Hurley Motor Car Co.,
Nash Distributors

The country club, as it exists
today, is one of the most striking
examples of the influence that the
automobile has had over American
life and habits.
What would the country club
be without the auto?
The answer. is, 1T wouldntu'
Or course, country clubs came
before automobiles, but they were
different from the clubs of today.
The old-time club was limited in
its activities by the very fact that
It was situated in the country.
Sites were chosen not for their
beauty and suitability, but because
OF their accessibility to residents Of
the city, and that meant that the
club must be located near a rail
road line or an electric railway.
Naturally, the clubs development
was slow. Railroad schedules were
not designed for the benefit Of
those who might suddenly wish to
dash out to the links, and they
were much worse for those who
might wish to spend a social eve.
ming at the clubhouse.
The automobile has made visit
to the country club so simple and
convenient, as compared with the
olden days, that it is entitled to
all the credit for the remarkable
development of this phase of Ameri.
can life.
The clubs of today, instead Of
being limited in their location to
regions served by rail, are pur-
posely laid out in secluded and pic.
turesque sites, yet are more quickly
accessible than the so-called coun-
try clubs that used to lie alongside
the main line of the railroad, with
town lots encroaching on both
sides.
However, it is in the extension
OF their field of activities that the
: clubs have been so greatly changed
by the automobile.
The country club is no longer
mere rendezvous for golfers and
recreation ground for the young
people. 1t has, instead, become a
true club, transferring to it's ex-
elusive and invigorating natural
surroundings the social atmosphere
anq comfort of the best city clubs,
Moreover, its activities and ad.
yantages are enjoyed by women as
well as men, and it, is a social
center by night as we'll as by day.
There are hundreds of clubs and
thousands of members today, as
against a few score clubs and hun.
dreds OF members two decades ago.
The beneficial effects of this great
development, of course, are obvious,
and it is the automobile alone that
has made it possible.

UNUSUAL TESTS
BY DISABLED
FLINT SIX
Travels $40 Miles in Chicago
Traffic Minus Wheel and
With High Gear Locked.

A twenty-four-hour endurance test
has been completed by a stock
Flint Six" touring car minus the
| right front wheel and with the
transmission locked in high gear,
states III. ]. Rosenberg, president of
the Chicago-Flint Company, in a
special dispatch to the Washington
Flint Company, local distributors of
the Flint car.
1.-THE car started on this remark
able test at l o'clock on Saturday
/ afternoon, just when the Chicago
/ traffic was heaviest" says an Off
cial of the Washington Flint Co.
"Just prior to the start Mr.. Patrick
j. Carr, Treasurer Of Cook County,
ILL.,, in the presence of city and
county officials, locked the trans
mission in high gear and sealed the
lock, and the seal was not broken
until the run had been completed
twenty-four hours later.

The car Travelled north on Michi.

of the Flint dealers. The car then
called on each Of the twenty-one
other Flint dealers in Chicago.
On the trip through the loop
there were certain times, while the
car was held up in traffic, when
the curious crowds surrounded the
car SO that it was almost impossible
to start even after the traffic sig
nal had been given, and this meant
| travelling along at a snail's pace.
After the scheduled number OF
dealers had been called on Saturday

mated in driving until their schedule
of calling on dealers started at 8
o'clock Sunday. morning, -
At 1 o'clock the schedule had been
completed and the car returned to
the Chicago-Flint Company, not a
hit OF trouble having been expert
enced on the entire "trip.
-, Travels S46 Miles.
During the night the car only
averaged approximately seventeen
miles, per, hour and during the day
due to the traffic, much slower
progress was; made. The Flint
| travelled a total distance of 346
miles during the twenty-four hours
Following this gruelling test the
clutch was carefully examined, and
after all the strain to which it had
been subjected. was found to. be
in perfect condition and it, was
unnecessary to make any adjust
ment to any unit Of the car.
This is certainly one Of the
severest tests which has ever been
completed by any car" states this
official, in commenting upon this
unique performance. 1.-The fact that
the car was driven on three wheels
seems almost impossible, but this
is made possible with a Flint Six
car by the Tubular Backbone,
which is feature exclusive in
Durant built cars.
Locking. the transmission in
high gear was, a sure way of giving
both. clutch, transmission and rear
axle an exacting test, which was
augmented by the slow speed at
which the car travelled. The fact
that these units, as we'll as all
others, went through the test with
perfect performance proves con.
clusively that the Flint Six Is SO
constructed that 1t can stand up
under abnormal stress and strain
in an almost unbelievable manner"

Piles that prevail in our political, So

Dor. There remains the serious task
of securing the adoption by 36 state
legislatures of the joint resolution
recently passed by the Congress to
make the twentieth amendment Il
charter of freedom for childhood.
Churches throughout the country will
need to exert their full influence up
on public opinion in the states to Sc
cure ratification.
"The Social Ideals ask for the pro-
