Various Types of Rheostats.

The two most common resistance
elements used in the construction or
rheostats end pot for radio
use are wire and carbon in one form
or another.
used of these two is the wire bound
type, but of late the carbon or Sra-
phite type has been increasing in
popularity with the large army of
radio fans.
The wire wound types are made IN
three forms. The first is the ordinary
type. in which single wire ls wound
on "a piece of Insulating material to
70. m coil, with slider arm making
contact with the coil. The resist
ance Of this type of rheostat is Nari-
able, only one turn at a time. so that
the resistance Is not varied continu-
ously. but. in steps. In another inrm.

with IA single turn of wiIe whose re-
sistance Is slightly more. from one
end to the other. than the resistance
Of one turn of wire. The diaEr Of

of the country, east from Iowa and
Minnesota and north from Kentucky
and Tennessee.
Paved Road Route.
1T is important to note that the
greater part of the paved road sys-
tenn is included in this particular dis
trict Motorists who wish for the
long ribbon type of road and varied
scenic interest can break into a cir
cult formed by the cities of Washing
ton, ID. c.: Wheeling. Indianapolis, St.
Louis Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Mon
treal, Boston. New York and back to
the National Capital without leaving
hard surfaced roads.
This circuit covers 2,400 miles of
some of the most interesting of our
national scenic and historic wonders.
Lake shore resorts, Niagara Falls,
Thousand Islands. the Adirondacks.
Ginger Lakes, Berkshire Hills White
Mountains, Atlantic Coast resorts and
historical points of New England are
but a few of them.
Motor tourists who aim due north
for their vacationing Will be inter-
ested to know that easy access to
Canada is afforded through a recipro-
cal agreement with customs authori-
ties. Practically all American license
plates are recognized on Canadian
roads for a period of thirty days. If
the motorist desires to remain longer,
he may secure bond at the port of
entry.
Steamers Transport Autos.
The summer trip is frequently i'm
proved by adding a few miles on the
waterways. Steamers on all the
Great Lakes. Lake Champlain, Lake
George and the Hudson River carry
automobiles as well as passengers.
This frequently relieves the monot-
ony of the long drive.
NO matter how the tourist wishes
to travel, the A. A. \. believes that
it will be great season to own d
motor car. Analysis of the hotel

shows that hotel rates have not ad
vanced and that frequently garage
accommodations In connection with
such hotels are improved. This, COM
bined with the great increase IN the
number of public auto camps. il as
surance that the motor tourist will
have a maximum selection of over
night accommodations at q minimum
expense.
1T is important to note that the
largest and most advanced public
camps are still to be found in the
central west and west, despite an in
crease in the number of well equipped
camps in the east. The situa ation is
one of conditions. The touring cen
ter bounded by the Washington, D.
c.: St. Louis. Detroit. Montreal and
New York circuit is generally sup
piled with hotels of all classes. in
cluding the recently developed lodg-
ing house, or small overnight inn
The man who prefers camping in this
section is usually disposed to get off
by himself, and thus the public camp
has not as yet become a necessity in
the east.
In the west, particularly on routes
leading to national parks, the public
camp has become necessity, and
naturally has been greatly developed
The tourist who is heading eastward
or westward, as a consequence, should
make allowances accordingly and Sc
lect his equipment TO match MS
camping conditions"

UNIFORMITY OF AUTO
LAWS CALLED VITAL
World Motor Transport Congress
Hears Plea for Less Con-
fusion in Regulations.
REGISTRATION FEES CITED
Range From $40 in One State to
$500 in Another.

The need for fair and uniform legis-
lation on the operation of motor We
hicles throughout the United States
and an invitation for exchange of
ideas on legislation between the ma
tional motor vehicle conference COM
mittee and motor vehicle associations
abroad were high points in the ad-
dress of H. H. Rice, president Of the
Cadillac Motor Car Company and
chairman of the legislative commit
tee of the National Automobile Cham
her of Commerce, at the world mo-
tor transport congress just held in
Detroit.
The congress was attended by 14O
delegates from forty-two foreign
countries; besides many representa-
tVes of the industry in this country.
No Laws Before 1904.
Mr.. Rice pointed out that up until
1904 there were practically no motor
vehicle laws in the United States and
that since that time laws had been
passed by the legislatures of every
state in the Union covering both
their taxation and operation.

SAVES BURNT BEARINGS.
Engine Oil Should Be Put il
Crankcase Troughs.

TrouGhs IN the crankcase should
be filled with engine oil before being
attached, otherwise the bearings
would burn out before the oil pump
the troughs.
Burning out carbon by oxygen
does not help seat the valves nor
clean under them. Some cars have
to be cleaned this way, as they have
no removable cylinder head. Pro-
vision for the valves is made by
means of removable valve cages.
There is a difference in sizes of
parts, just as in the case of hats A
bin filled with pistons Of the same
size, supposedly, will often reveal va

Unnecessary.

If for any reason the clutch will

when multiple disc clutch gets

The cone clutch will release after
