MACCABEES TO COME
HERE BY AUTOMOBILE
Caravan to Bring About 10000 to
Quadrennial Convention
{ in July.

Approximately 10000 delegates and
visitors to the quadrennial convention
Of the Maccabees, to be held here in
July, will motor to Washington from
all parts of the United States and
Canada. In the last year automobile
caravan trips have been organized in
Maccabee lodges. Delegations from
the Pacific coast will start about the
middle of June, and all along the
routes the initial parties will be joined
by other cars until thousands Of cars
will be in line in the main caravans
by the time Washington is reached.
A complete route system has been
laid out, leading to Washington from
different sections of the country, with
hundreds of feeders connecting up
virtually every city and town of any
size with the main caravan routes.
New England MaccabeeS will follow
tht Atlantic Highway, starting nt
Bangor, Me. The Yellowstone Trail
from Portland, Ore. and Seattle,
and the Lincoln Highway have been
chosen for the Western delegation
and those from the South and South
west will follow routes starting from
Dallas, Tex, and New Orleans.
State and national officials, auto
mobile clubs and civic organizations
are cooperating with the Maccabees
in compiling touring information, ar
ranging for Accommodations, camping
sites, etc.
The automobile caravan to Wash
ington was adopted as the socitey's 8
patriotic program for 1926 to bring as
many as possible of its members for
a week visit to the National Capital
and other historic spots in the East.

routes leading to tourist centers. If
attractive and we'll kept these hotels
can do business with the motor tourist
who neither cares to camp out nor to
invest In the luxuries of the big city
hotels.
The large amount Of money that
changes hands as a result Of tourist
travel goes to show once more that
good roads are of far greater value to
the community than they are to the
individual motorist. Every community
located on road used by tourists re-
ceives it's share of this money and
those communities which realize the
value Of this business and put them
selves in a position to profit by it viii
be the ones that will receive the ma jor
part of this great source of income.
In addition to the money given by the
motorist to the hotels, the garages
and the service stations on his way,
the motor tourist is in many cases a
prospective investor. Many of them
are seeking new homes while thou
sands settle in communities they visit.
Many purchase unimproved land. For
this reason the motor tourist occupies
the position of an important agency
in the creation of community values.
If this factor was more clearly recog-
nized motordom would not have to
fight so many legislative proposals
of an annoying and restrictive char
acter.
While the material results of mo-
tor touring are tremendous, perhaps
the greatest benefit accruing to the
country from the development is the
social influence. Hundreds of thou.
sands of families of limited means
now enjoy annual vacations, visiting
the beauty spots Of America with
their cars. Seashore and mountain,
national forests and parks, lakes and
streams are all available to millions
of our citizens at cost very little
higher than our ordinary living ex-
penses. To put these within striking
distance of the multitudes swarming
in our industrialized cities is one OF
the great boons that the automobile
has brought to our modern civiliza-
tion."

SEEKING TO SOLVE
ENGINE PROBLEMS
Standards Bureau and So
ciety of Engineers Would
Promote Cars Usefulness.

4 concerted attack on the problem
Of internal wear in automobiles and
truck engines, with the object of
increasing the period of usefulness
of motor vehicles to their owners, is
being made by the Bureau of Stand
ards and the research committee of
the Society of Automotive Engineers
in cooperation with group of auto
mobile manufacturers.
Various fabrication problems that
are common TO all machines are con-
sidered of enough Importance to war
rant a careful analytical study
Among the companies taking part in
this movement are the Autocar,
Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Mack,
Maxwell, Packard and Rickenbacker.
Samples of Oil Inspected.
The companies, in furtherance of
this study, are sending to the Bureau
of Standards samples of used lubri-
eating oil taken from the crankcases
of cars and trucks operating in
regular service in different cities. The
samples are being taken from 10 cars
each in Washington, Detroit, Birming
ham, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Tulsa
and San Francisco. These cities We're
selected as representing the desired
variation in climatic conditions and
ried in the air that the engines must
breathe
The 10 samples so collected will be
analyZed at the bureau to obtain an
index of the wear of cylinder walls,
piston rings and crankshaft and con-
necting-rod bearings that results from
the presence of various materials that
contaminate the oil in the engine,
such as dust, water and the heavy
ends of hydrocarbon fuels.
Results of Analyses Noted.
Results of the analyses will be fur
nished TO the cooperating manufac-
turers, and a summary of the inyesti-
CATION Will be compiled later for the
information of all concerned. Positive
knowledge of the materials that i'm
pair the lubricating quality of oils
and cause most wear will enable the
manufacturers of cars and trucks to
devise means for increasing the life of
motor vehicles.
This new undertaking Is a con-
tinuance of the study of the lubrica-
ton problem which the Society of
Automotive Engineers has been
carrying on for several years in con-
junction with the Bureau of Stand
ards, the National Automobile Cham
Der of Commerce and the American
Petroleum Institute.
Problem Is Complicated.
The problem has been complicated
by the use of certain types of fuels,
including those of low volatility that
do not burn completely in the
cylinders, as the unburned fuel makes
its way into the crankcase and
dilutes the lubricating oil. This lowers
the viscosity of the oil, making it less
effective as a lubricant. Water and
dirt also decrease the lubricating
value of crankcase oils.
1t is for the purpose of advancing
more rapidly the efforts of auto
mobile manufacturers to improve
their products that the present re-

SEES BALLOON TIRE
AS TYPE OF future
Best Adapted to Lightweight
Rim, Is View of
L. ]. D. HeaIy.

The tire OF the future probably will
be developed along the lines OF the
balloon tire, in the opinion Of l.. j. d.
Healy, writing in the current issue OF
the Journal of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers. on pneumatic tire ele-
ments and development. The trend
toward lighter and more economical
cars evolved the balloon tire, which is
lighter, but Of sufficient size to give
proper cushioning against road shocks.
Tires in the future, according to Mr..
Healy, will be flexible. of generous
proportions and as light as possible
consistent with strength and durabil-
ity, and they will be adapted to a
lightweight rim. OF necessity, they
will follow the trend of motor-car de-
sign, which, it is predicted, will be
along the lines of reduced unsprung
weight.
Lighter Inspiring Parts.
"The less weight there is below the
springs the better 1t will be for the
tires and the occupants Of the car"
says Mr.. Healy. Removal of the
brakes from the wheels to the sprung
part Of the chassis, together with the
use of lighter axles and wheels, will
allow the use of lighter and more fiex-
ible tires. The automobile, spring and
tire engineers, working in unison, will
no doubt some day evolve the long
looked-for comfortable. high-speed,
economical, lightweight car.
"A balloon tire is nothing more nor
less than a lightweight cord tire that
has a greater volume of air at lower
pressure. 1t does not require so heavy
a carcass to withstand the strain,
fewer plies of cord are needed,
more flexible carcass can be applied,
and this in turn gives yielding periph-
cry of the wheel. In consequence,
vibrations and shocks are absorbed to
a greater degree than by the SITTER
walled, high-pressure tire.
Tests Prove Value.
Balloon tires on test cars have
given consistently good service with
very little trouble from punctures and
blowouts. The service is almost equiv
alent to that of the regular high-pres-
sure tires. Some persons have claim
ed that more punctures have occurred
with balloon tires, but experience has
not shown that to be the case under
the road conditions of many States.
'On the whole, balloon tires have
given practically the same durability
as high-pressure tires, except that the
tread wear IS greater. But 1t is be-
lieved this wear can be overcome by
the proper distribution of the rubber
in the tread stock.
Wearing Power Discussed.
"The wear Is greatest on the outside
of the tires on the front wheels and
on the inside of the tires on the rear
wheels. The former is due to the pitch
and toe-in of the wheels and the latter
to the slope of the road surface. AL
though the wear on the rear tires is
greater than on the front ones, the
off-center wear is more pronounced on
the front wheels
