"The power, endurance and speed
developed by the present 122 cubic
inch engines has created a new land
mark in automotive development and
the time has come to reduce the en-
CINE in order to afford greater OPP
-portunity for further refinements,"
the Contest Board statement de-
clared. 1t continued:
1T is too early to say what the
effect of the reduction will have on
existing speed records but 1t can be
safely predicted that it will not be
long until the new engines will de-
velop speeds and power at least up
to present day limits"
To show what racing has done. as
far as engine economy and speed de-
velopment are concerned, the Con-
test Board called attention to the
fact that the car in which Peter De
Paolo won the Indianapolis 300
mile race last Decoration Day. at the
rate of 101.13 miles an hour, had a
piston displacement Of 1917 inches,
as compared with the 447.1 displace-
ment Of the car in which Ray Har-
roun won the first indianapolis race
in 1911, at the rate Of 74.59 miles an
hour.
The reduction to OH the standard
for 1926. will be Che third reduction
in engine size since 1920. In the
latter year the size was reduced
from 300 to 1873. The 122 engine with
which all records have been shatter-
ed during the past eighteen months
has only been in effect since 1923.

It's all very we'll to know how to

can illustrate this to perfection
with the horn on Browns car. He
wanted to pep up the horn little SO
that it would bark a little louder and,
havin' worked on horns many times
before, he removed the cover and went
to a lot more trouble than was neces-
sary, because when he removed the
cover he found that he could have
made the adjustment just as well with
the cover on.
Doin' the work in the twilight he
hadn't noticed that there was an adj
justment screw that protruded. This
isn't the usual constructions for in
most cases the adjustment of the
horn is made at the end OF the motor
shaft, and of course that is covered
up. But Browns one Of those fellows
who never has time to look for an
easier way of dom things.
1 had to help another fellow the
other day because he was havin' trou-
Bile with the gaskets on, the exhaust
manifold. Here he had gone to work
and removed the manifolds just to
grind in the valves. 1t wasn't at all
necessary. In cleanin' out carbon
I've seen motorists go to all the boths
er of removin' twice as much wirin'
as necessary. Yet If it's mainly a
matter of grindin' in the valves and
there is little carbon in the head I've
been able to do the job without I'M
screwin the spark plugs.
Unless car is equipped with front
wheel brakes one of the simplest ways
of cleanin' out the front wheel bear
ms is to keep forcin' in fresh grease.
That forces the old grease out on the
inside of the wheel. It's just as eff
fectiXe as cleanin' the bearins by re-
movin' them, and 1t often saves dam
agin' them.

famous White Horse Pike between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City where
maximum hourly traffic has reached
1905 vehicles.
Apparently it is recognized by the
Connecticut highway department that
the famous Boston Post route needs
more than a highway that will accom-
modate with ease the maximum traHel
now experienced during Yale Bowl
events and that the highway built to-
day to serve the future must be de-
signed in anticipation of traffic reach
ing an hourly maximum of 5O00 We
hicles. This would be greatly in eN-
cess of the traffic on Michigan Ave-
nue., Chicago, which is now the busi-
est street in America. $4,000 vehicles
pass in "a hours.
The engineering executive of the
State of Pennsylvania has warned
against the danger of building new
roads to meet only present maximum

Lying spsedomstsrs

Numerous complaints are heard re-
garding the inaccuracy of speedome-
tiers on large number Of cars. and 1t
is believed by many that thousands of
car owners do not know that they are
not travelling at the speeds they think
they are. The complaints are all
against the stepping UP" Of speedo-
meters so that they record more speed
than the automobile is actually trav-
cling. From a standpoint Of safety
this sort Of thing has been blessing
in disguise, but the practical car own
er Is getting tired of 1t. Speedome-
tiers are accurate enough instruments
when properly adjusted, and tamper-
ing with them should not be tolerated.
In all fairness to automobile dealers
and manufacturers, however, 1t should
be stated that one or two types of
speedometers, once generally used, are
now being replaced by better instru-
ments. This means that much OF the
inaccuracy Of speedometers in use is
no fault of those who sold the cars.
Dealers who handle cars with truthful
speedometers are facing some serious
competition with those whose cars at
tain high speed with remarkable ease.
They should be encouraged in their
fight against the lying speedometer.
If you think one car performs so much
better than another insist upon test
of the speedometers.

Caring For Car Finish

Now and again 1t is valuable to have
the viewpoint Of someone who Is ex-
perienced in a particular line. The
other day an experienced car painter
was asked about preserving the finish
on automobiles, and this is what he
had to say:
Eventually the use Of polish on a
painted automobile will do more harm
than good. All polishes contain oil.
and Oil is an enemy of paint. Clean
water is best for the finish on the car.
/ do not mean the ordinary wash that
you get at a garage"
To prove 1t he pointed to the fine
condition of the door of car which
had not been polished and to the
checked hood which had been polished
excessively. This painter, however.
appeared to be talking about ideal
conditions. He made no provision for
rubbing out those peculiar rain spots
which show up 50 often on the hood
and cowl. Nor did he consider the
fact that the finish on a large majority
OF cars goes bad simply because 1t be-
comes too dry.
Wise car owners will probably
take a tip from this and follow a
halfway course. polishing the car
when polish would seem to be neces-
sary and keeping polish off when clean
water and channels would seem to be
the answer.

Motor Misiuformation

r Judging from the amount of wild
and totally unreliable information
passed out, it would seem there is
more misinformation af1oat in motor
dom than in any other phase of daily
life. Such misinformation becomes
particularly extensive and particular
ly pernioious when it involves the
welfare of the various car makers.
For-some reason the public likes 10
say that such-and-such car is not

country, and the public says 1T with
enthusiasm when it does not know the
