"DIMMING" PRACTICE
DECLARED A Menace
Not Now Required by Maryland
Law-Held Danger to
Both Drivers.

The practice Of dimming headlights
at the approach of another car creates
a dangerous situation for both motor
lists and Is the reason why 1t is not
required in Maryland. according to an
official of the Automobile Club of
Maryland. who says he was asked that
question recently by a visiting motor
ist.
THE driver becomes accustomed to
his bright beam Of light on the road
and when he dims his own lamps the
beam ahead seems hardly more than
darkness" said this official. THE
effect Is the same as If his lights were
extinguished suddenly and he found
himself driving in the dark. He is
not only placing himself in danger but
he endangers pedestrians as well.
"A motorist does not have to look
directly into the glare of an approach
ing car. He can watch the light from
the lamps on his side Of the road and
be able to see clearly the road ahead" I"

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

Chemistry and engineering are run
ming a heated race to discover thu
secret of speeding up gasoline com
bustion without knocking when com
pressed in the cylinders of the modern
automobile.
The odds appear to be In favor oi
engineering despite the claim thai
sales of chemically treated gasoline
are increasing. Automobile manufac
turers, generally. are attempting tc
speed up the burning of gasoline by
better engine design. but the motoring
public cannot be expected to be able
to decide for itself until 1t has had
and opportunity to test out the newer
gas "dopes" and the newer features
in engine design.
A decided gain for engineering Was
scored by the recent announcement
of one prominent car manufactures
that his engineers had developed a
double-f1re type of ignition. This an.
nouncement, however, followed close
upon the heels of the heralding of a
new no-knock fuel by a leading refiner.
Race Puzzles Motorists.
The ma ajority Of motorists are Won
dering just what the race Is all about.
Some seem to think the automotive
laboratories are seeking a more power
full fuel. something that will drive a
piston downward with such force that
little carbon or pair Of poor seat
ing valves will make little difference.
The answer to this is paradoXical and
Is best explained by the engineers and
chemists themselves.
One chemist says: I'VE are entirely
satisfied with gasoline as a fuel for
modern automobile engines, provided
we can make it perform more effective
1y ODCa II &c under coDnnro sSion Case
line is a comparatively safe form of
energy in the liquid state in which
1t Is transported. It's main fault seems
10 be that 1t Is a little sluggish when
in the engine or inclined to burn
srratically with characteristic knock.
Rather than seek a higher type of eX-
plosive 1t would seem more logical
to adopt a successful adulterant which
will be effective only when the gas is
under compression in the cylinders" /"
An automotive engineer says: We
can compensate for gasoline's short
comings. not by complicating the
situation with adulterants. but by
making the automobile engine more
efficient. We are doing this when
we succeed in making a charge of
compressed gasoline vapor burn
quicker"
Gas vapor, it might be stated, re-
quires a certain period Of time to
burn even when an engine is running
rapidly, the interval between the be-
ginning and end Of combustion playing
a very important role in the motors
funotioning. The automobile engine.
for that reason. is timed so that the
gas vapor starts to burn before pis-
tons reach the top Of their compress
sion stroke. Both chemists and en-
gineers concede that this plan of ad-
fanctng the spark. while remarka bly,
satisfactory for practical purposes,
IS far from the ideal. They say that
the process of burning some of the
gas vapor too early in order to be
assured of complete combustion of
all Of the vapor before the power

| stroke is completed, results in a GER
| tain amount of reverse action as in
| dicated by the way an engine will
hammer when the spark is too far
| advanced for the particular driving
conditions.
What both engineers and chemists
are endeavoring to do is to make gas
| vapor do its stuff" noiselessly in
| the shortest possible time, for the
| quicker each power stroke Is accom-
plished the sooner each cycle of the
engine will be completed. and the
smoother the engine will run. The
| difference Of opinion lies in the meth
| cd of accomplishing these results.
Explosive Held Relative Term"
. An explosion. scientists tell us, is
merely a relative term. 1t Is pres
umed to be instantaneous combustion,
but when combustible gases are
touched off while held in check, the
time element is important. What the
chemists are aiming for is a "doped"
gasoline that will burn more quickly
yet more noiselessly when vaporized
or compressed, without presenting a
greater fire hazard while in it's LIQUID
form.
The goal for the automotive engi-
neers is to handle the gas vapor so
that it will be forced to burn more
rapidly. They contend this can be
done without entailing any additional
expense in the manufacture Of en-
gines and without increasing the cost
of fuel. which is the case where adul-
terantS are added.
The Ricardo head used on several
popular makes is an example Of what
the engineers are doing. 1t is eX-
planned that while this patent involves
the payment of royalties. there is
nothing added to the cost Of an en-
gine that carries this improvement.
This typif1es the sort of changes that
can be made without actually adding
to the cost Of manufacture. The
Ricardo head Is a principle rather
than a device. It's purpose Is to give
the incoming gases a swirdng action
when they enter the combustion
chamber, thus preparing them for a
speedier combustion when the spark
arrives.
Double-fire Ignition Explained.
Somewhat the same results are &C.
complishei by the use Of double-flre
ignition. 1t is explained by the man
ufacturer that, by igniting gas vapor
at both ends, SO to speak, the COM
bustion is complete and accomplished
In far quicker time. The analogy is
that Of burning a strip of paper by
lighting it at one end. as compared
with lighting it at both ends simul-
taneously.
The manufacturers, therefore. are
not merely giving attention to the
matter OF preparing the gases for
combustion and starting them in mo-
ton so that each unit of a charge of
gas will rush to the spark plug with.
ont waiting for the fire 10 reach II
but are making sure that the gas Is
touched off at both ends. The re-
suits are Immediately appreciated by
any one who takes the wheel of a
car embodying these principles.
The chemists are by no means dis
couraged, despite the stormy career
of ethyl gas. Some believe that the

that tomorroW's cars must be tried
out on tomorroW's foadways. Those

er and faster speedways being built
throughout the country.
Human Factor Considered.
The new models in racing accord
lngly are equipped with public ap-
proval. OF equal Importance Is the
new emphasis placed upon the human
factor in driving. Those who will
cape at the whizzing bits of flying
steel as they round the Laurel speed
way will marvel at the new skill Of
the drivers and will think not mere
ly OF the handiwork of the automo-
tive engineers, but more and more
of the daring and control of the speed
demons. There is something to the
new racing cars besides the mech
anism, perfected as they are. There
Is the human factor. improved and
refined to a point where a tug on
the wheel or a touch on the ac-
celerator puts another lap of the
track into history at record break
ing speed.
Much Of the speed is being made
Race drivers might have travelled
faster in the days of the Vanderbilt
cup races had the courses been safer
for higher speed. 1t is an axiom Of
racing as well as of daily driving
that no driver can hope to run sue
cessfully at a speed which exceeds
the safety point. With this in mind
the Baltimore Washington speedway
was built along lines that would IN
sure both speed and safety. A hard
dirt inner track was provided for the
driver who might not be able to keep
up on the high banks, while the
course itself is provided with heavy
guard rails to prevent flying off the
track or breaking through the wire
fence into the infield.
Elements of Safety
This is not the only element Of
safety stressed in the specifications
There will be safety through better
control of the cars as they speed
