MAKE REPAIRS With
SENSE INSTEAD Of
DOLLARS
BY ERWIN GREER
president Greer College of Auto
motive Engineering, Chicago)


Out of the bitterness of my own ex-
periences / am prompted to offer the
following advice to those Of my read
ers who want maximum efficiency
from their automobiles:
Naturally an automobile operates
at least expense when it is running III
high gear with the spark advanced.
Sometimes, However, this is not the
case. When it is running slowly this
condition is a costly one. First: be-
cause spark is then too early and
produces a spark knock. Second: be-
cause the power impulses are further
apart and the action is therefore less
even, power being consumed in over
coming the inertia of the flywheel
which is very great at an uneven
torque:.
Many drivers try to stay in high
gear and keep the spark lever adj
vanced all the way up the tangent
as long as possible in climbing a Hill.
Under these conditions, when a
change has to be made, it is necessary
to drop into lew gear, whereas second
gear would have sufficed with a lit
tie more momentum. With the en-
CINE laboring there is a great strain
en- all parts and of course; too much
gasoline is being wasted in this de-
structive effort,
Most drivers who do this, think
they are economizing on fuel because
, they figure their engines are turning
over fewer times in a given distance,
and hence, less gasoline is being pass
ed into the engine and burned. That
is not so, many of them will be sur
iprised to learn, for if a change were
made into second gear, less gasoline
would be consumed.
Have you ever watched the expert
driver when his car starts to skid
He doesn't jam down his feet on the
brake ard accelerate. He simply
throttles down the engine quickly ano
turns his front wheels in the direc-
ton the car is skidding. The real
wheels, turning so slowly, in nin'
cases out of ten will pull his car out o.
the skid. Then he picks up again anC
is gone beore you realize he ever
started to skid.
It's a mighty hard thing to do, thai
of keeping your foot away from th'
brake when a car starts sliding, buI
it must be done CT you'll end up II
a bad smash. The car starts sway
ling; the occupants scream ;you los'
your head; down goes your foot t
/ lock the brakes, then-crash!
, You're afraid of skidding and s.
: am I. The way I cvercame it on m.
car was to go out on a rainy nigh
on a wide, quiet street and slid
around until / mastered the art. Sue
an experience was hard on the tire
but was well worth while, becsus
when the unexpected came / was pre-
pared.

COSSTITUTIONALITY OF
 THE FILM TAX

The moving picture film tax law of the state today having been found constitutional upon the score that is Is purely a police regulation finds the theater interests faced with q development in Connecticut which in due course probably will be adopted in various other states adding to the burden of the people who delight in seeing the pictures and giving states an opportunity to apply censorship in an indirect manner.
 The clause in the Connecticut law giving to the tax commissioner the right of censorship is at present a mild censorship, but with potential possibilities for more stringent cen- sorship should occasion require. This indirect method of achieving a legislative object has become quite popular among legislators in recent years.
 The special federal court which held the film tax law constitutional at the same time gave forth the dicta that it was not q burden and is no restraint upon interstate commerce. When tax Is a mere lax and when if becomes a burden may be d matter of opinion, That the film tax is one that the theater interests or the public can bear without courtine destruction will be admitted by everyone; but on the other hand, every added tax by it's very nature can be constructed 10 be burden hy the total of the tax, and especially from the stand point of the increased costs that can be pyramided upon it,
 The state didn't need the money from this film tax; the tax was levied merely because the film in- dustry was regarded as "oasy pick ing" and because it was deemed po- litically astute 10 put as much money in the state treasury as pos sihlo. Yet in tho eyes of many the worst feature of the law will re- main the censorship provision which makes the tax commissioner yorlfaNlo rzar Of the films and one having no especial training for 'hc loh.

 AS A MODEL GOVT.
German Experts Think System
 Here IS Best

Berlin. Aug. r EY - Dr. Otto Arendt, the noted bimetallist, would have Germany copy the United 1 States government, rather than west European democraCies, in her parliamentar aims. In an anaIyti~ of the German republic, published in the ultra conservative TaegliChe RundsChau, Dr, Arendt points out Germany greatest need of a non- partisan cabinet. having the sup port of the large majority of the populace. Such a desirable state of affairs he sees ensured by the Amer ican form of government,
 That Hindenburg, a monarchist took the oath as president under a republican constitution is charac- terized by Dr. Arendt as an historl- cal episode and guarantee for a lasting republican form of govern ment in Germany.
 "A return to monarChism is an impossibility in Germany today" he says, and any attempt at a mon- archical restoration could only cul- minate in civil war and a conse- quent decay of the Reich" He states cmphatically that the Consti- tutonal foundation of the present government must not be tempered with, but on the contrary, should he continually strengthened. There fore, any attempt, be it from the right or left 10 alter the consttu- ton Dr. Arendt calls "a crime against the German people, which is to be nipped in the bud"
 After this declaration of all legiance to the Weimar constitu- ton, the writer feels justified in passing well-meant and constructive criticism. What is wrong with the constitution he asks, and comes l to the conclusion, that 1t suffers from q surfeit of abstract demo- cratic doctrines with utter disre- gard for the salient features of l German nat tional development. Changing the national colors he thinks was fatal error which now calls for at least some halfway" corrective measure.
 The present elective system, eliminating individual electoral dis | triCts, patterned after parliamentary systems of other Europe n democracies, the writer also con- stders detrimental to Germany. He strongly opposes all criticism of the parliamentary system as such, but adocates raising the age of electoral franchise. The listing of votes he condemns as & "pHrely" mathe- nautical measure tending to harm 1 the desirable formation of parlia- ment, claiming that thereby "the elector votes for a party and never for the individual"
 Dr. Arendt summarizes that three essential reforms are necessary If the republic is to be maintained and the reconstruction of Germany en- sured:
 The elimination of the national colors conflict, the renunciation of voting lists and the discontinuance Of parliamentary cabinets.
