If there be an epidemic Of price cutting
In the industry, Overland is not con-
cerned with it. For never will Overland
be party to any policy that involves
the cutting ofprices to figure necessi-
tating proportionate cut in quality.
q The reason-and the ONLY reason
Overland Six prices are nowreduced is
because we are selling twice the number
Of these fine cars we had planned.
QThis means huge savings in our pur-
chases, huge savings in manufacturing.

just at the point of locking but are
still rotating, experiments have shown
that there is very slight difference be-
tween this condition and that with
the wheels locked and that little addi-
tional force need be applied to lock
the wheels.
ter of gravity of the car, force re-
and whether two-wheel or four-wheel
brakes are fitted, all have a bearing on
stopping distance. When two-wheel
brakes are applied the car tends to
rise at the rear and press down at the
front, because the center of gravity Is
above the road where the braking ef-
feet is applied. The higher the center
of gravity, the more pronounced is
this tendency. The effect of braking
is the same as IL the weight on the
rear wheels were reduced and that on
the front wheels increased by the
same amount. This change of weight
is directly proportional to the rate of
braking, hence the more forcibly two
wheel brakes are applied, the less eff
fective is the braking effect. But with
four-wheel brakes, the transfer of
weight to the front increases the
braking effect on the front wheels to
the same extent that II decreases that
on the rear wheels.
For cars with two-Wheel brakes
the braking efficiency, or maximum
deceleration, increases as the percent
age of weight on the rear wheels is
greater, as the center of gravity is
lower, and as the wheelbase is longer"

No. ll0-Into Deep Water.

This is a fine motel" Smith ex-
claimed as we turned sharp bend in
the road and came up against the
problem of fording a young river
which the heavy rains of the night
before had created. Looks as though
we're in for swim. But what about
the car? Still, I suppose the car will
make it all right If the water isn't too
deep"
The depth of the water is really of
secondary Importance" I explained.
''Of course, there's limit. We must
be careful not to get into any deep
holes or off the crown of the road.
But in the final analysis success in
getting through a situation like this
rests mainly with the driver. The
captain of any water craft knows it's
limitations. It's the same with the
skipper of a land craft. This car of
yours will stand so much water and
no more. You can make it run the
limit if you know how, but it may
easily fall far short of its limit if you
don't know your subject
Smith obviously was not ready to
digest all this. for when l had finished
l found him trying TO figure out the
greatest depth of the water by COM
pairing the water line on tree trunks
along the road. He figured that the
water was about two feet deep at it's
deepest point.
Il think we can tackle this easily
enough" he decided 'I1l just give
the old boat a little speed and then
rush the water. If it's deeper than
we figure the car will founder across
of its own momentum"
l was about to protest vigorously
Evening star., 1925-08-09

when just at that moment driver
behind sounded his horn and shot past
US. He was going to try Smiths sug-
gestion, SO that saved US the annoy
ance of an argument.
But the car had hardly entered the
water when it came to a sudden halt,
deluged with gallons of water which
1t had suddenly displaced. The engine
stalled and would not start again, be.
cause the ignition coil was soaked.
The driver had attempted to make
5000 pounds displace gallons Of water
on "a seconds notice. The water sim
ply broke over the car and killed It's

guess we won't try that" Smith
concluded. But let's see what luck
this second fellow has, He's evidently
going to take it easy"
I'VE watched carefully as the new.
conner started to plow through the
water, picking his way cautiously past
the first car and out toward the center
of the stream. He seemed to be max
ing progress without disturbing the
water to any great extent, but his
speed became gradually slower.
Hes taking it easy. guess" Smith
volunteered. It's pretty deep out
there"
Hes trying to shift from high to
low, | said And he's stranded as
sure as your names Smith. He
should have started in low gear. Now
he IS lost his momentum in shifting
and his wheels are spinning for want
of traction.
It's up to us to so slow. but to run
in low gear. But before we try 1t we
must make a few preparations. The

motor may give US trouble. Suppose
we detach the flexible heater exhaust
from the regular exhaust pipe and
stick it up through the hole in the
splash par, where you grease the
'front.' end CT the right rear spring.
Open the heater valve and 1t won't
make any difference II the main eX-
haust is under water some of the time.
While you're doing that I'll pile some
rocks into the back of the car and at
tach the chains. The buoyancy of the
water will tend to make the car float,
just enough to endanger the traction.
To make the rear hold down better
I'll sit back here when you drive
through"
When Smith and l had succeeded
in getting through and had driven
ahead to summon a team of horses for
the stranded motorists we were ready
to believe that the old maxim about
more haste less speed" was as true
as ever. Smith and / spent a half
hour preparing to go through the wa
ter. The other chaps hadn't time. But
one spent the entire day waiting for
his coil and wiring to dry, while the,
other went home by train.

than you figured, which means that on
your car the water will almost reach to
the top of the oil filler tube. Since
we may have to drive through even
deeper water in order to get around
the other cars some of 1t may get into
the engine. To avoid that possibility
Wen stop up the pipe with the cork
from your thermos bottle. Your igni-
ton coil is also dangerously near the
water line, so We'll detach it from it's
base and tie 1t up as near the top of
the motor as the wires will permit.
Plan to Battle Water.
Wen also close the vent in the
carburetor air intake pipe and tie the
end of the flexible air pipe above the
possible water line. AS further pre-
caution We'll tie my raincoat over the
radiator, and, since the water may
reach the generator and battery wir-
ing, we had better lift the battery up
into the car, ground the negative wire
to the frame and use the wire from
your spotlight to run direct from the
positive pole of the battery to the coil,
disconnecting the generator altogether
But we must make some provision
for the exhaust. Since the muffler
and the exhaust will be under water
most of the way, back pressure on the

DRIVERS FOOLED
IN STOPPING CARS
Usually Believe They May Be
Halted in Half Distance
1t Takes.

If an average driver is asked within
what distance he can stop his car
from a given speed, the answer is
likely to be anywhere from one.quarter
to one.half the minimum stopping dis.
tance, in the opinion of n. H. Allen of
the Bureau of Standards, who has
been conducting a series of tests on
the braking ability of various cars.
The importance of properly adjust
ed and adequate brakes is explained
by Mr.. Allen as follows:
Three legal questions that are likely
to arise when a person is brought to
trial for an accident are: What is the
shortest distance within which a car
travelling at a known speed can be
stopped? When car has been
stopped within known distance
what was its probable speed when the
brakes were applied? When the speed
and stopping distance are known, what
is the probability that the braking
equipment was in good condition and
was used TO the full extent of the
drivers ability?
The answer to each of these queS-
tions depends upon the maximum pos
sible deceleration, or braking effect
and will differ with the weight and di-
mensions of the car and its braking
equipment.

USING THE OIL GUN.

There is something in knowing how
to use an oil gun. The usual tendency
is to fill up the gun and squirt thin
stream of oil on the part or joint
that squeaks. This is very Ineffective
If your aim is not good the oil goes
to waste. 1t requires considera BILE
pressure and a steady hand to force
a column of oil any distance beyond
the nozzle. The more logical way is
to spray the parts with oil, having
very little oil in the gun. An oil mist
will be forced out which will be sure
to strike the unoiled part.

 Postponement until September II was decided upon last night for the hearing of charges preferred against Supernumerary Officer Albert Scholl by William F. and Raymond J. Casey for incidents which took place on August 8 on North street, relative to the parking of a motor car. Im- portant witnesses could not be pres- ent last night and the postpone ment was welcomed as the city business on hand would have in- terfered somewhat with the presen- tation of the charges.

Community Council Meets Friday Eycnng-Hfrs, Huston Holds Mu- sical E,enngs-Coming Marriage Is Announce1l---Bid to Be Received

The building at the corner of Pennington avenue and Berlin street is becoming d playground for run that. Last evening at about o'clock truck driven by Charles BaIIotta of S37 Palisades avenue, Jersey City. N. J., while attempting to round the corner from the turn pike onto Pennington road. failed in said attempt and rammed into a small truck standing along the side of the building in which Coles store is located.
 The small truck in turn rammed into the side of the building and a resulting noise brought customers and clerks out of doors in a fit of anxiety. It was found that the building had received another auto mobile to Its bosom.
 Constable Frank Brown inyesti- gated the accident and Ballotta was allowed 10 go on payment of the costs of repairing the smaller truck.
 This is the second accident of the same nature to occur at that building within week. Last week an automobile crashed into the part Of the building occupied by the post office and nearly scared the post master out of his wits.
 Theft Case Continued
 The case Of Sam Kutz, arrested tor the theft of S4OO from Joe Wasso Sunday night or carly Monday morning, was continued until to- night, when it came up for trial in the Berlin town court last night The arrest was made by the state police by request and another arrest is expected today.
 Wasso claims that the money was in his possession when he went to bed Sunday night and he stated that Kutz and another party were with him when he turned in.
