The hest nightcap for car and driver
is TO complete the motor daily Dozen
"All that work can hang over until
the morning" Smith said.
Daily Dozen on Car.
Instead of arguing the point l
went through the motions of what
would do later In the day. AS Smith
watched the pantomime he observed
would first squirt oil over the
springs. This was to allow the oil
plenty OF time to work in between
| the leaves and to prevent rust from
early morning dampness. Next
would see that the tires had enough
air in them. for the reason that leav-
ing a tire half fiat all night is throw
ing money away. Ny third motion
was TO rub off the lamp rims, bumper
and door handles. Rain drops, or
even splashes of water from mud
holes. would be thus prevented from
rusting the trimmings.
When l had gone through the act
of looking over the wiring to make
sure there was no likelihood of a
short" examining the battery to see
that it was not overcharged and
boiling off the water in the cells,
watching the fuel line and carburetor
for a few minutes to see that there
were no leaks which might waste gas
or cause trouble during the night,
told Smith the second installment of
the daily dozen would be complete.
He summed up the idea when he
admitted that the man who confines
the daily dozen to his person usually
has to repeat the exercises for the
benefit of the car before the day is
over

"knO,Us the Ropes.

The following suggestions are
given for the benefit of those who
would like to get rid Of their
cars: 60.
Park the car in the same place
every day ard leave it exactly the
same length of time.
Never look back at the car after
having parked il.
Forget to lock it, and leave the
door ajar.
Find lonely places to leave ii.
Have no Identification marks on
it.
Park it on a hill where they
won't even have 10 crank the
engine.

Watch Spark Plug Holes.

Care should be taken when clean
ing spark plugs TO see that nothing
drops into the cylinders through the
openings. In one instance a broken
washer fell into one Of the cylinders
and did no damage until it caught
under an intake valve head at a
time when the driver was trying to
accelerate quickly. A back-fire into
the carburetor started a fire. 0rdi-
dirt will be blown out through
the exhaust, but that only helps to
clog up the muffier and cut down
engine efficiency.

OscilIograph Most Prominent.

THE electrical laboratory contains
electrical testing apparatus Of every
description. Perhaps the most inter

which is a complicated moving pic
ture machine for making photographs
of the strength and regularity Of the
current used in ignition. The finish
ed pictures show two parallel strips,
one with a record Of the primary cur
rent from the battery to the coiD

Change Tire in Safety.

The risk of standing in the center
of the road while changing a left
wheel tire can be minimized by plac-
ing the spare on the road to the left
of your car. Motorists who would
ordinarily wing" you will be careful
not to upset on your tire.

Before being placed under the micro

All moving picture machines are
not TO be found in Hollywood or on
CINEMA locations. Not a few may be
round in any modern automobile
manufacturing plant.
Inc relation of the moving picture
machlne to the automobile, perhaps,
Is not clear, but 1T plays a definite
part In the manufacture of the motor
car.
II. Fl. Bassett, president of the
BUICK Motor Co, describing familiar
scenes IN an automobile factory, says:
mere are great mechanical giants
tnat twist the drop forged axles into
shapeless masses. There are fur
naceS that turn the carbon in steel
INTO gases There are scales so deli
cate they can weigh the carbon IN
those gases. There are moving pic
ture machines that photograph the
strength and the regularity of the
current used by the ignition ap-
paratuS in action. There are micro
scopes, stills and mysterious trap
pings of the chemists lore. and the
air is filled with pungent fumes and
odors"
Divided Into Four Laboratories.
The modern automobile factory is
divided into four separate labora-
tories-namely, the chemical. physi-
cal, metallurgfcaI and electrical.
Testing and research work is carried
on in these laboratories to check up
the material before it goes to the
manufacturing departments and to
assist the engineers in determining
the best materials to use in parts for
future models.
in the chemical laboratory" ex-
plains Mr.. Bassett, lis a staff Of grad
uate chemists whose duty It is TO
analyZe every material that will re-
spond accurately to chemical analysis.
In the physical laboratory the
character Of the work differs, but the
results obtained are just as vital.
Finished parts of every description
are brought here and tested until a
failure or breakage occurs. The OBJ
ject of these tests is not to establish
the fact that parts can be broken,
but rather to determine exactly how
much force or vibration is required to
break them. The tests exactly dupli-
cate the stresses to which the parts
are subjected in actual service.

SAYSL|FE OF CAR
DEPENDS ON OWNER

How long does the public want its
automobiles to last?
Stanley Horner, local Buick dealer
, SAYS that the life Of the automobile is
entirely up to the car owner, the manu-
facturer and the dealer playing COM
paratively minor roles.
In his opinion the public has always
made it plain to the trade just how long
il wanted to have it's cars last, and
that the trend has been gradually to-
ward a compatively short car life.
New Car Demand Grows.
AT no time in the history Of the auto
mobile" declares Mr.. Horner, 'has the
average car owner desired a new car
50 frequently. Most manufacturers are
building automobiles that can be made
TO give service far IN excess Of what the
nOtorist obtains from them, yet the
public appears to want something en-
tireIy new every few years.
The situation is not to be Judged
however, by the type of car owner who
now arranges to purchase a new auto
mobile every year. While he may seem
20 represent the extreme, he is, in many
instances, the sort of motorist who de-
mands the longest car life. Just because
he himself does not intend TO benefit
directly from this does not alter the
conditions. He merely figures on letting
some one else extract the additional
use from the car, he himself being will
ing TO make certain sacrifices in order
70 enjoy the convenience of disposing of
The car readily.
Cites 'Reai Index"
The motorist who represents the real
index in this matter is the one who
heepS ear for three or four years and
then sacrifices ii for a mere song being
inder the impression that the car is
about ready for the scrap heap. He does
not trade III the old car as Il business
proposition, but simply because he feels
that it has lasted about as long as one
would expect it to- He is the man who
is setting the pace for car life"

Economy" Often Costly.

The man who takes a chance on an
accident for lack of investment in a
cotter pin that may cost a half penny
is a close relation to the man who
aims to save seven seconds by CROSS
ing in front of an express train.
