About Air Cleaners.

1t is a foregone conclusion that
the air drawn into gasoline engine
should be cleaned as a protection to
the cylinders as well as to the car
buretor. And there are several salts
factory air cleaners on the market
The only question is whether such
device can be used on your car with
complete success.
The answer is found in the par
ticular method of prcheating of the
gas as used on your car. Where the
fine cold weather performance of the
engine depends upon hot air taken
from a stove around the exhaust
manifold the addition of an air
cleaner may cause difficult starting
But If the preheating is accomplished
after the mixture leaves the carbu-
rotor, by means of a hot spot in the
intake manifold. the substitution of
the air cleaning device in place, of
the stove will not affect the eff
fciency or performance of the en-
gine adversely.
Since most of the new cars are
using hot spots instead of stoves,
air cleaners can usually be attached
with every assurance of success. If
possible, 1t is best to attach the de-
vice near the dash and as high up
as possible. This enables 1t to draw
the warmest air in cold weather.

The Old Mechanic Saws:

If there's one thing I hate to do
it's tear down some vital unit of
new car just to get rid of some trou-
BILE that would probably get rid of
itself in time. But 1 can't seem to
get some of these car owners around
here to feel the same way about IL.
Just today I've been workin' on
the clutch Of brand-new car and
all I've accomplished is to transfer
the owners dissatisfaction from now
until later l found that the plate
which floats between the f1ywheel and
the clutch plate was a little too tight
on its spine shaft. When the driver
pushed down on the clutch pedal this
plate should have slipped back from
the hywheel, but, being little
cramped. 1T frequently stayed where
II was. That caused draggfn' action
In the whole clutch unit, with gear
shiftin' trouble, of course.
l told the owner / could fit it so
that he wouldn't have the slightest
trouble with 1t now, but / warned
that the remedy would mean prema-
ture wear on the spline shaft, and
thus premature clutch trouble of the
second or third year type I told
him that the best remedy would be
to overlubricate the floatin' plate and
spine shaft, and said that If he would
shoot a little kerosene and oil into
the unit every 400 miles or so he
wouldn't have any more trouble
But you know some motorists! He
thought I was stallin' him. He
thought / was in with the dealer on
some pass-the- buck scheme He
wanted action, regardless of conse-
quences. So we had to give it to
him.

made a fine job and the clutch acts
perfectly. But l had to give him

Turning With Balloons.

Owing to the tractive character
istics of balloon tires a car SO equip
ped has the happy faculty OF steer
ing straight with far less effort on
the part of the driver. but many driv-
ers fail to note that this can be a
disadvantage in turning the car
around.
One frequently hears the complaint
that with balloon tires the average
car cannot be turned around in the
same radius as would be possible with
cords. Motorists usually attribute
this to the width of the balloon tire,
pointing out that its bulkiness inter
feres with the springs when the
wheels are given their maximum
"cut." But this is not the real rea-
son.
The aforementioned tractive ten
dency Of the balloon tire makes 1t
continually seek to straighten out its
wheel during the turn, so that the
wheels are not given their maximum
cut unless the owner is aware Of the
process and on the job to hold the
steering wheel firmly.

MOTOR WEATHER HAS
Definite MEANING
All Cars Run Better Under Some
Conditions for No Apparent
Reason, Dealer Says.

Radio has given motoring a new
expression in the term motor
weather." according to Stanley
Horner, local Buick dealer
Radio fans have discovered that
there are nights when they all get
good reception and nights when their
sets do not work so well. he says,
and this suggests the possibility that
there exists in motordom a sort of
motor weather that is largely &C
countable for the days when the car
runs wen and the days when it does
not excite praise.
Haven't you noticed that there
are some days when the car seems to
run with unexpected precision and
smoothness?" Mr.. Horner asks 1.-THE
next time this happens make it a
point to ask a half-dozen of your
friends whether they noticed the same
thing with their cars on the same
day
I'VE know for a fact that all en-
gines run better on damp or wet
day and that carbon dioxide from

of the engine just enough to make a
difference. If this is true then why
is 1t not possible that general wealth
er conditions affect motoring, for
good or for bad?
Radio has given motordom a new
thought in this connection, and IL
bears close inspection by every car
owner. If we knew for n fact that
under certain general weather cor
ditions all cars would lack power-and
brilliancy of performance there would
be far less dissatisfaction among
owners and less lost motion through
searching for car troubles that do
not really exist.
I'VE know that extremes of heat
and cold have their general effect.

be turned. But many manufacturers
are now putting the emergency on
the propeller shaft just back Of the
transmission, and this is fooling
lot of people in a very natural way
A driver who lacked up the rear
wheel of such a car the other day
thought he had bright idea when
he decided that, due to the action of
te dtfferential. he ought to be able
to turn the wheel while the other
one remained locked by reason of the
emergency brake being set on the
propeller shaft. What he discovered
was that the lacked wheel refused
to bulge. just as in the days when
he drove car with emergency
brake on the rear.
Stopping to think 1t over. he
realized that IT is possible to stop one
rear wheel and move the other only
when the propeller shaft is free to
move. This Is the action OF the diff
ferential when the car is in motion
and rounding corners or going over
rough spots. 1t doesn't work out as
a convenience for changing tires.

verse weather as efficiently as in fair
weather, storms frequently stimulate
business rather than retard 1t.
The better distribution OF business
as a result of the new usefulness OF
the automobile is viewed by the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation as a decided benefit to the in
dustry and trade as a whole and,
therefore. to the motoring pubic
Long periods of trade inactivity were
costly in the earlier days and, with
the greatly increased overhead. could

general public paid great deal more

Picture Now Relic.
The picture of automobile sales
going into Information just because
the wind had, switched to the north
is now definitely a relic. These days
have gone to come no more. When
tho weathcr's fine a. man wants a
car to introduce him to the great
outdoors. When the weather's bad
he wants a snug, safe automobile to
allow him to go about his work in
comfort and with full protection
against the elements.
1T is a matter Of observation that
when the weather is adverse street
car transportation is in great de-
mand, and the same thing applies to
the automobile now that it has been
made adaptable to all kinds of
weather conditions. Yet 1t has the
distinct advantage of being equally
useful in fair weather, and far more
enjoyable than any other form of
transportation.
AN important result of this newer
usefulpess Of the automohile and the
greater stability Of the trade is that
adverse weather is having far less
detrimental effect upon general bust
ness. Weather affects transportation
more than anything else. and with
the automobiles solving that prob
lem general business has no reason
to suffer by cold waves and storms.
AS a matter of fact, it has been noted
that with the convenience of the
adaptable automobile bad weather in
many lines of business offers an op-
portunity to get to work and make
business before the sun shines and
.he Nation feels like playing again."

Wear-and-Tear Cost.

How much is needless wear and
tear on cars costing the America n
motoring public?
Pretty tough nut to crack, but any
owner can get an idea of his contri-
button to this enormous waste by ask
ing himself the following:
Do l slam the doors when ! could
just as well leave them open or allow
them to just catch?
Do / raise and lower the windows
as though the window filters couldn't
be benefited by a little planning in
ventilation?
How many miles of engine use do ]
lose by letting the engine idle and
by racing it?
How much traffic congestion could
I avoid by using a little judgment In
the selection of streets?
How much car strain from bumps
could I avoid by remembering that
steering isn't just keeping the car on
the road?

As We Travel Along.

To speed along motordom's great
highway nowadays and miss the
things we may see and hear en- route
is to miss half the sport of being
alive and kicking. Every inch OF the
way is new angle to the big story
of the automobile, and something
more for each car owner to tuck
away in that bulging book Of ex-
perience.
That palatial motor bus you've just
passed, for instance. calls to mind an
interesting by-product of motoring.
Some one asked the driver what made
him so extremely careful when OPP
Grating the bus, whereas he was
sometimes known to take chances
and drive far less expertly when at
the wheel of passenger car.
Three quarters of the people in
the bus drive as we'll as l do" he
explained. The public is motor
wise. They know when I'm making
bull. 1t makes a difference"
Here's another:
An owner had expressed surprise
that the local dealer had given up
his franchise for certain seemingly
popular make of car. He referred to
the popularity of the car and was
even more puzzled when the dealer
admitted having sold IS of them dur
ing the year.
But" the dealer added, 'it cost us
$4,000 to do it. Not so good"
And just to round out the subject
here's a third instance that should
interest the motorist who still ad-
heres to the old idea that no one
else can drive his car as we'll as he:
A chap who had never had much
luck with his car happened to be
taken sick while travelling with
friends. Under the circumstances
there was nothing to do but let one
of the members Of the party take
the wheel for the remainder of the
trip. About the third day of travel
ing on the homeward stretch the
owner discovered to his great sur
prise that the car was performing
better for the strange driver
Proving that car, too, benefits by
change of pasture.

cars are driven at such a speed be-
cause few owners know how to find
It, All laundering to the contrary
netwith standing, there is way to
find the economical speed for any car,
and 1t is very economical process at
that,

road or street where there is no traf-
fic-yes, there are a few such places
still Ieft!-and see how far it will
coast after reaching speeds of 10, Is,
20, % and 80, in turn. You will. of
course. And that the car will coast
farther the faster you are going at
the point the clutch pedal is depress-
ed, but il you will study the coasting
distances carefully you will note that
there Is a point at which you get a
maximum coast for a minimum speed.
That's the speed to stick to when you
want to save gas.

SAFETY MARKERS
FOR NIGHT SOUGHT
A. A. A. Asks Sort of Barrier
That Will Draw No.
tice Quickest.

Local motorists are to be asked to
cooperate with the American Auto
mobile Association in a Psychology
test in the interests of greater safety
in night driving, according to Ernest
N. Smith, general manager of the big
motoring organization.
There Is said to~be urgent need for
some means of marking barriers
across closed roads SO that night
cidents and near accidents. which
are being reported to the A. A. A.
national headquarters here. and it is
believed that the automobile driver
is in the best position to decide upon
some method that could be stand
ardized.
What method of marking road con-
sthhction barriers engages your at
tention quickest when you are pro-
ceeding' along what you believe to
be AN unobstructed road at night?"
Mr.. Smith queries the local motor
lists. Whatever warning engages
your attention first is the safest.
Red Lanterns Barred.
"Bear In mind that red lanterns are
barred from the list of possibilities.
since they are very readily stolen and
depend for their proper operation
must attend to them IL they arc to to
effective as a safety measure, and it
is just this human element that opens
up possibilities of trouble.
Some highway departments are be-
ing urged to repaint their barriers
across roads under construction, and
to use white markings on the road
way itself as an extra precautton.
Mark ings similar to that used by
many localities TO designate danger
Gus crossings are also being sug
gested. Many of the devices used to
reflect the autos headlight rays, it
is believed, should be used in addi-
ton to other warnings.
eff you have an idea let us have 1t,
and we will pass 1t along to our
traffic board for consideration
