The electrical system should also

self he should use heavier oil in

placed in the rear axle for winter
driving should be changed and a
heavier oil, such a 600 w, sub
stituted.
All the operating parts Of the
brakes should be soaked with pene-
trating oil or some antitrust solu-
ton to remove the effects Of the
slush, mud and water Of winter
driving.
The whole engine, as we'll as
the exposed bearings and other
parts of the chassis, should he
washed and cleaned with kerosene

installed wherever needed.
Keep Tires Filled.
The air in the tires should be
kept up to the specified initiation
for the car more regularly in sum-
than in winter, because the heat
Of the pavement combined with the
heat generated in an underinflated
tire softens up the layers of fabric
as they rub against each other.
The nuts, bolts and screws on the
entire car should be frightened. Dur.
ing the winter the material used as
cushioning between the various
parts Of the car gathers moisture
and swellS up. In dry weather it
shrinks. Just as soon as this
shrinking takes place the car
should be frightened up to prevent
the formation of a hard, glazed
surface. If these glazed surfaces
are allowed to form, it is very diff
ficult to eliminate the squeaks from
the car.

METAL MOULD
INVENTOR IS
HONORED
Daniel II. MeIoche, Of Holley
Carburetor Company,
Given Medal

DETROIT, Mich, April 29.-Dan.
lei H. Meloche, Of the Holley Car
buretor Company, has been signal
ly honored by the Franklin Institute
Philadelphia, which has awarded
him the Edward Longstreth medal
for his invention embodied in long
life moulds.
For two thousand years men,
throughout the word, have On.
deavored to pour molten metal into
other than sand moulds. Mr..
Meloche perfected commercial
process for pouring molten install
into metal moulds. The advantage
Of such manufacturing procedure
Is lessening production costs Is
readily apparent.
Mr.. Meloche. who is but thirty
six years Of age, Is probably the
youngest man ever to receive this
medal and is one OF approximately
100 to obtain this honor. The
Franklin Institute has been IN
existence since 1924 and, 1t is said,
has never made an award for an
invention that afterwards failed Of
its purpose. Awards are made on
basic patents only.
100000 Castings Made.
The HolIey Carburetor Company
has made more than 10000 car
buretor castings In the last two
years in these long-life moulds.
The process is also leased. In adj
dition to the machines in use in
their plant, others are in opera
ton at the River Rouge plant OF
the Ford Motor Company, the
Harrison Radiator Corporation,
Lockport, New York, and the plant
I! Of Ludwig Loewe and Company.
Berlin, Germany,--a firm which
recently acquired the German rights
for the process.
The usual method of casting In
the foundry is to prepare q sand
mould OF the article to be cast ana
to destroy 1t after 1t has once been
used.
This process, though ages-old, is
inefficient, since 1t requires the
making of q new mould for every
article cast.
Continuous casting demands q
method in which q mould can be
used repeatedly. More than 10000
castings have been made from a
single mould without replacement
by this process.
Basis of New Method.
Iron, unless Of very high silicon
content, If poured into q chilled
mold. will be hard and white,
The basis Of the new process Is the
provision for heat barrier between
the mould and the casting. The
mould is thinly covered with a
na@antad rnoffncr which checks the
heat flow sufficiently to prevent
the formation of chilled iron. This
coating is further protected with a
thick coating of lamp black, and
the carbon, in the form OF lamp
black, by uniting with the skin OF
the casting, lowers it's melting point
and thereby retards the cooling rate
of the casting.
Aluminium and brass have been
poured into these moulds, and MIR.
Melcho states that from expert
ments he has made, that the ma
chinery and processes he has
evolved are adaptable to non
ferrous as well as grey iron cast
ings.
Mr.. Meloche also states that the
castings from this process are non
porous, 80 per cent stronger and
readily machinable.
The epoch-making significance Of
the new process can be readily I'M
derstood when it is pointed out that
there is hardly an industrial enter
prise which does not require cast
metal. This new process Of mould
ing is applicable to the largest as
well as the smallest type OF cast
ings.

BOYS ARE BLAMED
Chief Of Railroad Police Thinks
They May Have Placed Tics on
Rail in Front OF Express Train.

Bridgeport, Sept. - IPLCaptaln
Frank Ulmo of the New Haven
pohrc department, said
today that the theory that boys
Dropped the railroad ties that
nearly caused disaster to the Bar
Harhor express Tuesday night on
the Fairfield avenue viaduct, was as
logical as any theory yet offered
and his men were working on the
case from that angle.
The Bar Harhor express was al
most wrecked Tuesday night while
approaching the railroad station
from New York. Only the prompt
application Of brakes by the en-
gincer Of the train, Robert Os-
borne. who sighted the tics lying
across the tracks as he was near
saved the train from disaster,
The railroad officials are of the
opinion that boys. stealing the ties
for winter flrewood, dropped them
as they saw the train bearing down
