NEW ZEALAND TRUCKS
CUT INTO RAIL EARNINGS
Both Local and Through Freight
Handled on Routes From 15
to 1876 Miles Long.

Passenger revenues of New Zealand
railways are said to be much affected
by the competition OF privately-owned
motor services operating on parallel
routes. according to consular advices
to the United States Department Of
Commerce from Wellington, New Zea
land.
In the neighborhood of wellington
alone, it is pointed out, some 80 cars
are running on routes from Is to 1875
miles in length, the main service be-
ing from Wellington to Wanganui.
The report states that, ostensibly
catering to inter-town traffic, 1t actu-
ally does a little more than one-f1fth
interior traffic as against four-6 fths
through traffic.
The quicker service and cheaper
rates charged, added to the fact that
connections with other bus lines are
conveniently made, have diverted traf-
fic from the railway. according to the
official communique.

CHECK ON CARBON
FOUND BY EXPERTS
Tests at Mellon Institute in
Pittsburgh Shed New Light
1, on Problem.

New light on the prevention Of car
bon in the internal combustion engine
has been obtained by experts of the
Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-
search at the University Of Pittsburgh.
High operating temperature and the
use Of highly volatile fuel and q. lubrl-
eating oil that is relatively volatile
and free from carbon residue tend TO
reduce carbon, a series Of tests
showed.
These tests have been carried out
during IS months. The methods or
making the tests and the results OBJ
tanned were described by $. F. Marley,
G. j. Livingstone and w. A. Cruise of
the institute at the Summer meeting
of the Society of Automotive EngI-
neers.
Tests were made with engine runs
at different temperatures, with differ
ent fuels ranging from natural gas
through a number of commercial gaSo-
lines to kerosene, and with six differ
ent automobile lubricating oils includ-
ing two each derived from Pennsylva-
MIA. Mid Continent and Pacific Coast
crude petroleums.
The results show that as the engine
operating temperature is increased
and held constant there is a definite
tendency to decrease the deposit of
carbon This indicates an advantage
in this respect for steam cooling.
When q very non-Volatile fuel Is used,
such as kerosene, there is a sharp in
crease in the amount Of deposit. The
difference in quantity deposit from
different fuels is small when the fuel
air mixture is lean and is greater
when the mixture is rich.
The amount of carbon deposit in
creases as less volatile lubricating oil
and oil containing more carbon resi-
due when distilled is employed. Under
like conditions of test, the three types
of oil used showed equal amounts of
crankcase dilution.

WATER HURTS WHEELS.
Turning Hose on Even Good Fin
ish Likely to Chip Paint.

One of the early rules in the bust.
ness Of preserving the finish on auto
mobiles was to keep the hose off the
hood. A direct force of water upon
this most conspicuous part Of the car
was frowned upon.
Motorists acted upon the tip and
have saved many a dollar, but the
time has come to warn against ap-
plying the hose to the wheels. Many
cars do not carry as carefully painted
wheels as formerly, and hard
wash" is not good even for the best
painted wheels. Chipping is a very
prevalent trouble in wheel finish, with
force of water playing conspicuous
part in making the wheels look
shabby.

Oil Cleans Auto Top.

All the cleaning the top of a. car
needs is a brisk rubbing with a slight
ly oily rag. Never use a. brush, since
this chips the top and makes it po-
rous. The oil treatment not only
cleans but preserves and makes the
top more efficient as a shedder OF
water. To prevent collection of dust
OF course, the top should be rubbed
with clean. dry rag after being
cleaned with oil.

BALLOON TIRE RULES.
Thin Patches for Tubes, and Low
Pressure Air Gauge, Urged.

In patching the tube Of the balloon
tire do not allow repair men to make
the patch too thick. This type of
tire is balanced very carefully 50 as
to prevent front-wheel wobble or SHIN
my. The tube used is actually thinner
than those used in the conventional
cord. A patch thus makes more of a
difference in the weight distribution.
Better use the new-style, low-pres-
sure tire gauge so as to know accu.
rately Just what air pressure is being
used. Fifteen to thirty pounds is
right for a full balloon type.

BUSSES FOR GERMANY.
Railroads Considering Adopting
Plan for Transport.

German railroads are considerina
tho adoption OF motor bus and motor

Geheimrat Otto Kopcke of Dresden,
who has just completed n survey Of
these forms Of transportation in the
United States. Mr.. Kopcke is chair
man OF the board Of directors OF the
Saxon Public Traffic Corporation and
made his study as an official delegats
from the Saxon government.

GETTING OUT OF MUD.
Setting Emergency Brakes Helps
Resistance Problem.

When stuck in the mud, the sim
pest plan IS to set the emergency
brakes so as to just bind the wheels
a bit This offers each wheel enough
resistance so that the power dashes
back and forth from one wheel to the
other and is forced to actuate each
one gradually rather than be diverted
by the differential entirely to one
wheel. This is a good tip to recall dur
ing a heavy rain 10 miles from the
main road.

STOP FOR PUMP LEAKS.
Precaution Against Turning Pack
ing Nuts Too Far

When turning packing nuts at the
ends Of the water pump shaft, to stop
leakage care should be exercised not
to overdo it. The less nut is turned
to stop the escaping water. the better,
and the more effective this method
will be. If the motorist turns the nuts
too far each time he will hasten the
time when it will be necessary to use
new hacking.

Cuba to Build Roads.

Cushions Need Watching.

Much uncomfortable riding is
caused by seats not being in correct
position. Rough roads often throw
the rear cushion out of place when
no one is sitting on it, the matter
passing unnoticed.

A communication from the Wo-

Civic Club also asked that spring
cleanup plans include the bathing
beach and the city park. These
matters will be taken UP at a fu-

The Atlantic City Electric Com

five years. This includes all night
lighting and modern fixtures and
provides for growth and expan-
sion of the city.
Mrs. DeHaven, chairman of the
cleanup committee, asked the

Kurtz said he would give his at
tention to the matter.

Player 0btaiped From Giants
Is Free Agent-Bothered
by Injury.

Outfielder Frank Walker no longer
is on the roster of the Indianapolis
Baseball Club. Manager Bush an
nounced today. There was some mis-
understanding over the status of
the player and it resulted in him
being declared a free agent.
Walker will manage team in the
South Atlantic League next season.
He received a broken shoulder while
playing with the Indians last sea-
son and it is said there rs some
doubt about the shoulder being
strong. For this reason and the
fact Bush figured Walker had a
batting weakness, Tribe officials did
not make an effort to hold him.
Walker came to the Tribe from
the Giants and played only three in
nings of one game when he was
crippled for the remainder of the
season. The Indians paid the players
expenses and salary TO the end Of the
1925 schedule, but probably will be
reimbursed partly by the Giants.
