CLIMBING TEST
. OF CAR AND DRIVER
Taking Grades on High Gear
Brings Out Qualities
Both Possess.

ll-climbinc in high gear is not
only the best test of the performance
ot any car. but a real test of any
drivers skill as well, in the opinion of
Joseph 3. Trew local REQ dealer.
According to MIR. Trew, a good hill
will tell more about a drivers knowl-
edge of the car than any other feature
OF driving.
A car doesn't show what il is made
of until it is working to conquer a
steep hill in high gear, and the same
can be said of the driver, he declares.
"Hill-climbing is largely matter of
confidence says Mr.. Trew. Il have
seen the same car on the same hill
within the same hour give perform
snces that differed as day from night.
The difference was in the drivers.
a steep hill is real driver test just
as much as it is test for the car. The
motor vehicle departments might well
bear that point in mind when they
examine drivers because inability to
get cooperation from the engine on a
hill is evidence of lack of proper un-
derstanding of its operation. And ac-
CidentS must be expected where
drivers do not understand the motor.
"A common mistake in hill.climbing
;E TO retard the spark the instant the
engine knocks a little. This kills the
speed. which in turn kills power. and
raises the temperature Of the combus-
tion chambers to point where the
incoming gas is excessively pre-.
heated.
ANY carbon deposits in the engine
become hotter and cause pre-ignition.
II is far better TO let up little on the
gas because the average engine will
lake but very small increases in the
amount OF gas when il is pulling hard.
Gas should be fed evenly and in
creased by degrees except at points
where the grade is lower for a short
stretch. I can always tell an mex
perienced driver by the way he will
let up when the grade is lower and
then give the engine a quantity OF
gas when the grade is higher
The Skillful driver keeps feeding
the engine just enough gas on the
hard portions of the climb and then
does the forcing for speed when the
grade is lower. Invariably he will ac.
celerate unevenly when the grade is
lower in order to enliven the gas.
Turbulent gases will provide greater
power, and the quicker the gases pass
the carburetor hot-spot the cooler they
will be when they reach the combus-
tion chambers. Cool gas is an impor-
tant factor in hill.climbing.
These are but few of the samples
that indicate either poor or Skillful
driving in hill-climbing, but even if
one were confined TO just these few
tests it should be possible to judge
with fair degree of accuracy the
ability of any driver who takes the
wheel

OF PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

SPECIAL Dispatch 10 The Star.

special Dispatch TO The star.
BALTIMORE, May 30.-AnswerinS
complaints from motorists that oil on
the highways ruined their automo-
biles, John y. Mackall, chairman Of
the Maryland State Roads Commits
sion. today declared that oiling of
maca dam roads was necessary to pre-
vent them from disintegrating.
While oilinG may cause temporary
inconvenience to motorists, every
precaution is taken, he said, to min
imiZe this inconvenience. He eX.
planned that only one side of the road
is oiled at a time and the oiling is
done as early in the season as possible
TO avoid the heavy traffic during the
Summer. The oil drys within IL
hours, and after that automobiles
driving over it are not spIashed with
oil unless they are going at an ex.
cessive rate of speed.
Crushed stone is being used this
year with the oil, instead of gravel.
according to Mr. Mackall. as expert.
ments have shown that this medium
lasts longer and provides a better
surface, although it costs somewhat
more than gravel.
The oil does not harm automobiles
the Maryland commissioner explained
and it can be removed with various
preparations and a moderate amount
of rubbing.
