loose valves, which slap in their

little of this over the face of the

The valves are placed in the
combustion chamber, where they
are subjected to intense degrees
OF heat and this induces certain
very definite ills. They gather
deposits of carbon, which prevents
their seating properly. When this
happens we have to grind them
In, so that they make an accurate
fit with their seats again. Some
times the valves stick and this
may cause more or less serious
misfiring.

sure whether valve head is
warped or whether the stem is
bent or badly carbonized is to
take the valve out and examine

GREED,
AUTO OWNERS
URGED
Solution OF Traffic Problems
Seen in Banning OF
Selfishness.

There is a valuable motor les
son in certain recent discoveries
in traffic matters.
. It is becoming more and more
evident that much Of the cry
for ''more auto regulations" is
propaganda in favor of those
transportation interests which
would benefit by further restrIc-
ton of the use of automobiles.
This suggests that perhaps the
big problem in traffic is to elm
mate selfishfess And where is
there more, logical place to be.
gin than at home?
Let car owners start the ball
rolling by banishing greed among
themselves. Let's move up and
give the other fellow a chance
to park. Let's grant the right
of way even though it is ours.
Let's not hog the streets unneces.
sarily nor cause trouble for others
If we can avoid 1t.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
If motorists put their own house
in order the selfishness . Of out.
side interests will be at once APP
parent. Motorists will be justi.
fled in putting up an honest fight
against these foes of progress that
are rapidly putting through legis-
lation and ordinances inimical to
motoring. M

DATA Compiled
! 0|NHISTORY OF
AUTO INU. s.
Statistics Studied in Effort to
Devise Best Type Of
Traffic Signals.

In 1895, not quite thirty years
back, there were just 800 registered
automobiles in the United States. In
1922 there were more than 12.OOO,-
900, an increase of impressive pro.
portions. Actually there were 10000
times as many automobiles in the
latter year as in the former.
These figures have just been COM
piled in a survey Of the effect Of
the automobile upon the mortality
Of the Nation, and are considered
the best possible incentive for UNI
ceasing endeaVors to devise efficient
traffic control. In 1917, when there
were some 100000 automobiles in
the Nation at large, the number Of
automobile deaths was 9,1S4. In
1922, with 12s230,00O automobiles
registered, the number Of automO-
bile deaths was $4,000,
Y This shows that while the mum.
Der of registered cars was more
than twice rs many at the end of
that sixsyear, period, the number of
AUTOMOBILES deaths, In the same in
terval, had Increased by more than
Ono-half. ,-s,a--t - h. ~ Gsi.a
The. number of cars per ] 900 Of
population, In 1917 was 48 4 the mum
Der of automobile deaths per 1000
Of population in that year was .0sS7.
In 1922, these figures were, respect
lively, 1I5 and 1894.
Data of this sort was studied by
street lighting engineers Of the Gen.
eraI Electric Company in their eff
forts to devise a type OF traffic
signal, electrically operated, which
would be a worthy contribution
toward the solution OF traffic prob.
lens that invite accidents and keep
up this high total Of automobile
deaths. The automatic electric traf-
fic signal, in the flasher type aud
the stop" and go" type, which
these engineers have just brought
out, is the result Of their study OF
the whole broad question.
Although not radically different
from other types as to appearance.
1t is put forward as having greater
reliability OF operation, as well as
increased durability; while the actual
illumination produced by this unit
has been made as noticeable and as
vivid as possible. This unit, more
than anything else, has the latent
possibility Of working into an ex.
tensive automatic system, entirely
without attendant traffic officers
and absolutely synchonous in oper-
alton.
Up and down the length Of a
main thoroughfare, at every street
intersection, one of these traffic
signals could be stationed, and, by
electrical control, they could be 30
ksynchronized that at every street
crossing. at precisely the same in.
slant, the signal stop" would be
flashed to traffic moving in the
main thoroughfare. and the signal
Go" would be flashed to traffic
moving in the cross streets.

ISOLATION, and a committee from the
Victory Highway Association.
A parade, led by a 1904 REQ
escorted the bus to the city hall
where it was welcomed by Mayor
James Rolph. The chief executive
of San Francisco, was presented
with a letter entrusted by Acting
Mayor Collins of New York to the
REQ bus crew for delivery at San
Francisco.
From the city hall, the REQ bus
proceeded to the San francisco
branch Of the REQ Motor Company
where the directors of the Motor
Car Dealers Association of San
Francisco waited to extend greet
ings and receive the flag of the
city of New York sent to the
Californians by the Automobile
Merchants Association of New
York.
In this manner, tribute was paid
to another bit of successful trail
blazing by a company known ITO a
large extent for its pioneering. Al
the time of it's arrival in San
Francisco, the bus had gone 5,67i
miles, passed through fifteen States
crossed most of the important noun
tain ranges Of the continent, anc
encountered all sorts of weather anC
road conditions. The fact that the
REQ sedan bus was able to make
this Journey and come to its con
clusion with all parts in excellent
condition is believed to be ample
proof that bus transportation i:
feasible any place in the United

INTEREST HIGH
IN AUTO TRUCK
EXHIBITION
Demands for Space Brisk for
First National Show
of Kind.

Every effort is being put for.
ward to make the first National
Motor Transportation Show, to be
held In Chicago, October 81 to q.
a tremendous success according to
William N. Hollanger, secretary of
Motor Truck Industries, Inc, under
whose auspices the show is being
held.
Demand for space has been SO
brisk that, we feel sure it win be
entirely gone within the next few
days." says Mr.. Hollanger. This
in spite of the fact that we have
70 900 square feet Of floor space
for exhibition purposes.
Invitations are now being pre-
pared and will be sent to those who
are genuinely interested in the
motor truck industry. The demon
stration field which Immediately
adjoins the American Exposition
Palace on Lake Shore Drive, the
building in which the show is to
be held, is being made ready fol
program of demonstrations.
I'VE have arranged comprehen
sive series of demonstrations which
will be of great value and interest
to fleet owners, truck and auto,
mobile owners and others in the
motor truck business.
Interest in the show has been
unusually marked. This is, OF
course, partly due to the fact. that
this is the first show of its kind
in the history Of the industry. In
former years trucks have been ex
hibited only at the automobile
shows and attention was directed
mainly toward the pleasure cars
Here, however, trucks will not
only be exhibited but they will also
be put through their PAGES. New
methods In trucking will be thorough
| 1y demonstrated. The show is
limited to truck parts and equip
ment, accessories, special equip
ment, buses, rail cars, trailers and
all types of commercial motor
vehicles. You will have an oppor
tunity to thoroughly inspect the
various exhibits at your leisure
