Motor Exhaust EuiIs Doomed
As Makers Recognize Menace
Experts Seek Way to Eliminate Whole
sale Casing of Public by Automobiles.
Chimney Feature Now in Use.

automobiles of the early days shot the
exhaust fumes almost directly to the
air, and when exhaust pipes term
mated amidships it was thought thai
the limit had been reached. But now
the eXhausts on large number OF
cars are nearly twice as long as for
merly.
The popularity of closed cars has
helped to make, the long -draHn-out
exhaust necessary. Unquestionably
there is more back pressure in the
longer pipe, but the engines are so
much more efficient that an engine
with a displacement of $50 cubic
inches will afford better performance
than engines that originally had
displacement Of 400 cubic inches. II
is believed that if twice as much
back pressure is created by the adj
dition of an exhaust filter, or some
similar device. the use of doped gaso-
line will permit high compression
motors TO deliver the necessary addi-
tional power, with perhaps more 10
spare.

of the washstand is designed to trap

the exhaust pipe might serve to re

as the present type undoubtedly
would catch much of the tetraethyl

fuel containing this compound. there

have to be altered.
"Doped" Gas Controversy.
If an automobile engine draws in
air simply to assist the fuel in the

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Following out the theory that halfia
loaf is better than none at all, new
sport known as 'semi-motor camping
is being developed to take care of those
lovers of nature who are not as yet
willing to sacrifice the modern con-
veniences when they hop aboard their
motor cars and head for the great
outdoors.
1t promises to revolutioniZe motoring
for millions of persons who realize that
they are denied many Summertime
pleasures Just because they feel
obliged to return home again by night
fall.
Not everybody is equal to the occa-
sion when it comes to driving into an
open lot. pitching tent and calling
il a night. but now il is discovered
that not every one who clingS to the
things of civilization must foreSo all
of the pleasures of motor camping. A
halfway point is being reached, and
it is predicted that within few years
a large proportion of the people who
are now taking advantage of the many
opportunities to meet nature half way
will be ardent and experienced motor
campers of the first rank.
Farmhouses Used.
Evidences of the semi-camping trend
are seen on every hand. Along most of
the principal highways farmhouses
are being thrown open to the long
distance tourist. with rates that make
il possible for him to tour greater dis
tances in given time. Back to coun-
try life is being recognized as the first
tep TO back to nature"
Having slipped gradually from the
luxury of the morning Tubing and the
breakfaSt-in-b bed habit. motorists learn
by the Semi-camping idea some of the
rudiments of true motor camping so
that when they finally make the
plunge it is far less of a Jolt and far
more enjoyable. The fad of motor
canning has been seriously handi-
capped, 1t is believed. because of too
sudden a return to nature on the part
OF many who We're not prepared for it.
Semi-camping starts with the all
day outing. The motorist finds the
sort of country where he likes to
browse about and. instead of running
risk of trespassing on other people s
property, looks up the owner OF the
land and arrangeS to rent a small
piece of it. That marks the beginning
of the camping freedom. for in order
to enjoy the outdoors any motorist
must be able to feel that he is not en-
croaching upon forbidden territory.
Cooks Own Meals.
The all-day outing soon develops the
need for cooking. because the average
picnic kit of prepared refreshments
is usually devoured by > O'Clock in the
afternoon. If anything is to be eaten
for the evening meal it will have to
he prepared on the spot. BY degrees
the motoriSt finds himself shopping
for camping stove, and Mrs. Motor

Abolition of the automobile exhaust
Is the next step in automotive i'm
provements. This is the belief of
those who see in the present contro-
Versy over the virtues of gasoline
adulterants stimulus TO the elimina-
ton OF this time -honored motor evil.
Regardless of the added danger re-
sulting from the use of doped gaso-
line. 1t is further believed that the
auto exhaust has reached a point
where II is not merely nuisance, but
an absolute menace.
Exhaust cleaners may soon take
their place on the accessory counter
along with air cleaners and oil recti-
fiers. The time is believed to be not
far distant when the laws with re-
spect to the use of efficient exhaust
cleaners will be as rigid as are the
headlight laws in most States.
A number of bakery automobiles
and other commercial vehicles carry
ing easily-contaminated foodstuffs are
already using the exhaust chimney, a
pipe being run from the conventional
exhaust to the top of the vehicle in
| such a way as to eXpel the gas where
it is not likely TO contaminate the
| contents of the machine. This plan
| has been widely recommended for.
general use, but has not received the
| support Of public health authorities,
| for the reason that it merely gasSes
the occupants of homes, apartments,
| hotels and Office buildings in favor
| of street users.
The demand is for a device that
will eliminate effectively the carbon
/ monoXide from the exhaust fumes.
Many believe it is impossible, but
that is what was believed when the
automobile exhaust used to sound like
a Gatling gun: The noise couldn' I
be eliminated without causing SO
much back pressure that the engine
| would not operate. But the noise
was eliminated and the engines run
better than they ever did.
| Big Motors Silent.
Some of the most powerful motors
of the day are silenced to a point
| where it is sometimes difficult to tel
whether they are running. To check
up on the firing it is customary fol
repairmen to hold the palm of their
hand over the exhaust in order tC
feel the puffs of the eXhausting en-
gine. Listening to the exhaust is out
of the question in many cases with
out the aid of cutout.
II the noise of the exhaust can be
eliminated. why can't the smell? Thai
is the question now stimulating the
inventive genius of America anG
squirting the mechanically inclined tC
action.
The outstanding fear of the con
servatives is that in strainins OIL
filtering out the poison from the eX
haust fumes back pressure will be in
creased to a point where power vii
be sacrificed. The argument is me-
by referring to the present tendency
TO draw out the exhaust pipe to {
point where il has to run the entire
length of the car and make a semi
circle around the rear axle. Th'

CIRCUIT DESCRIBED
FOR MOTOR TRIP
25-MiIe Route Through Near
by Country Suggested for
Afternoons Run.

While the immediate vicinity of
Washington is doubtless well known
to most local motorists, there are
nevertheless many delightful roads
which are probably unfamiliar to
those who have confined their week
end motoring to more distant points.
A motor run of an afternoon or eve
ming, including some or the faVorlte
avenues within the District proper
and some of the splendid highways
and charming by-wayS of adjacent
Maryland, is the suggestion offered
this week by The Stars motor tours
scout.
Covering a distance of approximate
ly % miles, virtually every mile OF
which is of perfect, smooth road, TINS
circuit is one that adds rural chafm
to urban beauty. A continuous pano-
rama of changing rural scenes com
bined with interesting suburban de-
velopments make this trip one OF the
most attractive of its kind.
Following Sixteenth street past the
Walter Reed Hospital grounds. the
motorist turns right into Alaska ave
nue., thence into Georgia avenue and
across the District line into Mary
land. Approaching Silver Spring, an
underpasS is being constructed ana,
at this point for stretch of approx
mately 100 feet, the motorist VIII en-
counter the only rough road in the en-
tire circuit. When the underpass is
completed and the grade crossing elm
mated. this trip will be all the more
desirable.
Burnt Mills Attractive.
One half mile beyond Silver Spring
the motorist turns right at the sign,
Burnt Mills" This is a picturesque
spot where motorists are wont TO go
Of a Summer evening with picnic
dinner. There is ample parking space
Tor machines and from this point one
may follow a winding wooded path
leading to a beautiful rocky stream,
Here is a favorite rendezvous for
motoriSt campers.
From Burnt Mills to Colesville, a
distance of 81 miles, the road is per
feet concrete. The road straight
ahead has just been concreted and
will not be ready for travel for about
Is days.
At Colesville a sharp left turn
should be made leading to the Sew
enth Street pike. From the point of
intersection with the Seventh Street
pike to Wheaton is IL miles. There
a sharp right turn should be made TO
Kensington, where, after crossing the
railroad tracks, right turn should
be made and then one square beyond,
a turn TO the left.
Returning to Washington the road
leads through several interesting su.
burban developments, past Chevy

Chase Country Clubs. From Ken

No need to stick to the crowded con-

canned goods, bacon and other ia
miliar campside foodstuffs.
Going to the same spot for each
Sundays outing, the motorist soon
becomes so accustomed to the route
home that he commences waiting
until dark before breaking up camp"
Formerly he started home rather
early because - was not so familiar
with the roadY and wanted to get
home before dark. But, little by little,
he becomes more familiar with his
ground, until he finds himself actual
ly out in the open at night.
This leads logically to thought of
lighting. He switches on the cars
headlights and finds that they are not
just what he needs. Next time he
sets forth he is equipped with a spot
light and finds that this adds cheer
to the gathering and additional safety
'amily strikes an evening when the
.,oon is high, and then comes the first
real desire to stay out the whole night
long.
Banishes Fear Of Dark.
Semi-camping is destined to be one
of the most effective means of banish
ing the super-civiliZed persons fear
of the open after dark. because it
leads him to true camping by easy
stages and gives him the best features
of it first. He learns many of the
fundamentals of camp like. such as
cooking. water supply sanitation,
lighting insects and so on. When he
comes to the real thing in camp life
he will have been all through the
elementary course. and even if he does
not eventually become regular
motor-camper, he has at lea st learned
TO obtain much more enjoyment out
of his car.
Every now and again people will ad-
vance the fiimSieSt of excuses for not
camping while en- route. One of these
concerns the welfare of the car itself.
Some folk have been heard to declare
that they do not favor the idea of
leaving their cars out in the open all
night. 1t appears to be legitimate
excuse, particularly with the elaborate
closed cars of the day, but those who
semi-camp find that their cars benefit
materially from the experience. Many
car would get no attention at all in
the Summer were ii not for the idle
hours its owner finds available for car
care on camp days.
One of the first lessons to be learned
from semi-camping is that to be with
nature is not necessarily to be alone.
The part-time camper having got set
tied in one spot, decides to browse
around a bit. only TO discover that he
has company just over the hill. He
soon learns that camping has become
one of the Nations most popular
sports. and it does not take him very
long to strike up an acquaintance with
persons who have had considerable
experience with outdoor life.
These experienced motor campers
tell of the routes they have taken and
recommend further delights in the
