because there is no actual meshing of
gears in this case. The second and
high speed idling gear is simply
pushed forward so as to lock
sidewise into the high speed gear
which is at the end of the clutch
shaft. When this idling gear is used
to obtain the combination necessary
for second, however, it is moved
back away back from the high speed
gear until it meshes With a gear on

also tapered but there is a bearing
between axle and wheel hub.

the fact that statistics submitted to

Worth Remembering

If the rear side windows of the
closed car have not been opened for
a long time, and if they stick when
you want to use them, just release
their catches and straps and drive
around over a rough street. The
windows will soon drop down Of their
own accord.
Shift the gears a little quicker
and more deliberately when you are
just starting off on q cold morning or
night. The CONCEALED lubricant in
the transmission holds back the main
driving gear to point where the ac-
ton is the same as if the clutch
brake Were applying too soon..
IL you think you have choked the
engine too much or flooded the car
buretor q little keep on cranking for
atfew minutes with the choke unused
and the throttle closed. This, in
many instances, will serve to clear
the cylinders quicker than merely
waiting for the excess gas vapor to
leak out.
When parking on a down, grade
and keeping the gers in reverse
(coasting for the forward move
ments) be careful not to use the
clutch for the brake. It's the nat :,
ural thing to do, but should be
avoided. Before you let in the clutch
so as to allow the engine to back
the car bring the machine to a stop
with the brakes.

Whv Car Makers Fail

With the wiseacres busily engaged
N predicting unpleasant fates for
certain makes of cars before 1925
comes to a close, and with the usual
rumors afloat. it is well to review
some of the failures that are facts,
for from the past there is much to
be learned about the future and
much opportunity to avoid loose
thinking on matters that involve the
fate Of hard working manufacturing
concerns.
Aside from financial difficulties, re-
sulting from mismanagement rather
than trade difficulties or business
depressions, most of the failures
have been due to either too many
radical changs or too conservative
an engineering policy. The public
either gets tired of having cars be-
come obsolete every little while or
grows weary Of waiting for its fav-
orite make to come down to date.
While the magnetic drive and fric-
ton drive cars, many of the steam
cars and few of the machines with
freak engineering principles have
been direct causes Of the failure OF
their sponsors it is interesting to
note that some of the most success
full cars Of the day employ the most
radical features, thus demonstrating
that the public is willing to go to a
certain limit for the sake of novelty
provided the car as a whole does not
get too far away from accepted no.
tons in design, value and reliability.
One popular make uses a wooden
frame. One uses a planetary trans
mission system. One uses a dis
tinctly different gear shift arrange
ment. Another has always adhered
to a combination clutch and brake
pedal.
Since production IN quantity has
become such a vital factor among
the closer priced cars failures fire.
quently have followed hardness in
adopting new mechanical inn
provements or body design. Failure
to cooperate with the dealer organ
ization has been the undoing Of many
a company, while the offering of too
excellent a car at too low a price has
often been the start Of toboggan
slide. The customer wants the new
model 50 badly that the dealers. and
eventually the factory goes broke on
excess allowances.

q matter OF greaSin Somethln the
owner forgot about.
When car owner starts off by
tellin' me that the trouble can't be
lack of fabrication because he's at
tended to all that 1 know where to
look for the trouble. You never can
be too sure of fabrication, and when
an average car OWNER passes off the
job as ten minute proposition, I'm
suspicious.
Take universal joints, for instance.
There were two cars in here today,
each with three grease plugs for
each joint. Each universal joint was
equipped with two high pressure
grease gun nipples, while the third
fabrication point was simply marked
by a plug. The owners had over,
looked the plugs entirely, and of
course they were havin' trouble.
A man has to know one car init
mately or have pretty general
knowledge of all cars, in order to get
around a car with a grease gun

shaft and so let it go at that. 1t is
going to cost him about $40 to have
me lift up the floor mat and show
him the holes in the boards where he
is supposed to insert the oil can now
and again.
Every car has its surprises in the
way of fabrication points, and half
the trouble in motorin' is due to
overlooking them.

A bill introduced in the California

This isn't exactly clear. Most dogs
are carried all over the passengers

been thought that it would be safer
for humanity if the dogs were tied

some legislator is seeking safety for

That those old fashioned covers
that motorists used to hook over the
entire hood in winter served a pur-
pose that needs to be served today ?
These covers had the virtue of cover
ing up the louvres on the sides of
the hood so that the hot air that was
generated around the engine stayed
in, or else floated up in the driving
compartment. 1t is highly important
to use a radiator shutter device to
keep cold air from chilling the en-
