NASH MOTOR FOR
SCHOOL CLASSES
Donated By Mccormack
Bros. For Use In Man
ual Training

A Nash six-cylinder motor has been
presented to the public schools by the
Mccormack Bros. Motor Car Co., to be
used in connection with the manual
training work in the eighth gra'
The motor will be taken az ex-
amined, assembled, tuned up and run
by the boys in the various schools.
This course In auto engine work is a
unit of q group of short, practical
courses covering the most common
mechanics of a modern home. The
other courses include practical electri-
cal work, concrete and cement work,
simple plumbing repairs, tool sharpen
ing, glazing, lock and key repair, sheet
metal work, etc.
1t is the plan of the manual train
ing department to place the various
equipment in schools for a four week
period and then rotate or exchange
them, so that in nine months the
eighth-grade boy will become acquaint-
ed with all.
The motor shown above starts its
school work at Martin school this
week. 1t will have its valves ground,
tappets and rods set, ignition timed,
plugs cleaned, carburetors adjusted,
and finally hooked up to tub of water
for a radiator so water circulation may
be shown and run.

FIRESTONE LEADS
IN SOLID TIRES
Has Solved All Difficulties In
Construction, Says Mccormack

'"Tha Firestone Tire and Rubber COM
pAny again leads the field with the in
tR0anction of an efficient type of non
skid solid tire. Other companies have
experimental with various types of
non-skid solid tires for trucks, but it
remained for Firestone to perfect this
tire" said p. r. Mccormack.
Heretofore, the trouble with this
kind of tire has been the inability of the
manufacturer to get the right compo-
sition for the tread of the tire. Some
manufacturers had a great deal of
trouble with the tread chipping off after
q little use. Others had trouble with
the rubber wearing too fast or coming
loose from the steel rim. Firestone,
however, seems to have solved all these
difficulties with the perfection of their
new truck tire.
This tire has all the wonderful
wearing qualities of the famous old line
of Eirestone truck tires and at the same
time it has a real non-skid value, the
latter being of great benefit when n
truck Is forced to operate under diff
cult road conditions and in wet
weather. Truck owners all over the
country are awaiting the new Firestone
tire with much interest as 1t will solve
many difficulties for them.
1--WE have advance orders on file for
the new non-skid tire and are expect
ing a big business on it, judging from
the way local truck owners welcome the
idea of such a tire"

HOW NASH BUILT
SHOWN STUDENTS
Iowa State Collge" Seniors Visit
Nash Factory At KenOsha

Senior students in electrical and
mechanical engineering of Iowa State
college in an inspection of the Kenosha
factory of The Nash Motors company
one day last week familiarized them
selves with the various elements that
enter into the construction of an auto
mobile that is built 80 per cent com
plete within the walls of one factory.
The students visited the Nash plant I'M
der the supervision of Paul w. Eells,
professor of mechanical engineering, and
T. H. McLain, professor of electrical
engineering. The inspection trip was
q regular part of the college curriculum.
The delegation was greeted by e. H.
McCarty, general sales manager of The
Nash Motor company and the college
men were shown through the plant by
factory guides, who explained as they
went along the Nash straight line pro-
duction method, wherein each operation
follows another in logical sequence from
the time raw materials are received un-
til the car is given its final road test.
The students were shown the Nash
roller bearing plant and were told that
90 far as it is known Nash motors is
the only motor car manufacturer that
makes its bearings; they saw the bat
terry of crankshaft testing machines
with mechanism so accurate that they
will register the weight of human
hair. The students were interested in
the factory laboratory, where they saw
the Brinell testing apparatus and
learned that Nash conducts a test for
hardness of steel used in its product ev-
cry day, whereas the general practice
is to test for hardness once or twice
month.
The immense Nash open car body
plant, supplementiRg the closed body
plants at Milwaukee also offered an in
teresting feature in the program laid
out for college men. There they saw
the great Nash dry kilns, the cutting
and saving of choice lumber, the cutting
of leather for the upholstery and body
trim, and finally the care that is exer-
cised in the painting of Nash bodies, in
GLIDING the drying of each coat of paint
In electric ovens.
Iowa State college is one of the many
universities in the middle west that
sends students through the Nash fac
tories each year. Other colleges who
make a first-hand study of Nash pro-
duction methods include the UniVer-
sity of Wisconsin, University of ILL
nois, Armour Institute of Technology,
Northwestern university and DePaw
university.

WOCO pep KEEPS
MOTORS CLEANER
Benz0l-Blend Is Recon-.
mended By Authorities
As Carbon Reducer

Woco Pep, the original benzol- blend
motor fuel, first marketed in Birming-
ham ON March Is, 1918, has come to
be recognized throughout the south as
q reducer of carbon in the motor and
the numerous benzol-blends marketed
throughout the country have won the
recommendation of automotive authori-
ties for use as "anti-knock" fuels, ac-
eording to officials of the Wofford Oil
company, makers and marketers of
.Woeo Pep.
No less an authority than the editor
OF Motor, the national automotive pub
Hcation, is responsible for the state
ment that the use of motor fuel like
Woco Pep reduces the carbon residue
In a motor. Without mentioning any
trade names, this authority recently
stated that certain blended fuels were
being marketed which had a tendency
Ito leave less carbon and users of Woco
Pep recognized the reference as relat-
ing to the famous acknowledgements
motor fuel or similar blends.
Woco Pep has been widely advertised
throughout the south and other parts
of the country as more powerful mo-
tor fuel that would give more mileage,
diminish spark knocks" give a quick
er start and leave less carbon. Its
claims have been. seconded by numer-
Gus authorities who have Investigated
these claims and the virtues of ben
zol as a motor fuel constituent have
long since been recognized by authori-
ties.
The Wofford Oil company is con-
-stantly received testimonials from
manufacturers, dealers and individuals
regarding the remarkable results of
Woco Pep as compared to straight gas
cline and the market for the famous
fuel has spread into four southern
states.
The sale of Woco Pep in Birming-
ham have long been matter of re-
mark to visiting automotive men and
motor fuel marketers and it is often
stated that in few places in the coun-
try have home products won such pop
ular approval as the Wofford company's
motor fuel and motor oils. Numerous
initiative mixtures have sprung up To-
cally and throughout the south and
today benzol as a component of motor
fuel is widely advertised by marketers
attempting to compete with Woco
Pops popularity.

TOURING TIPS

This being the season for gloves it
is well to remember that just because
you think you have a firm grip on
the wheel is no reason to assume that
you really have. New gloves, especial
ly if too big for the wearer, are very
likely to slip, causing the driver to
lose control of the wheel if the car goes
ever q rough place.
If the car seems to be bouncing a
lot, and the road is not rough beyond
the point of being wavy, try driving
at a faster speed. Usually 80 or IS
will be more comfortable than at 20
