The Old Mechanic Says,

Much expense could be saved If
motorists knew what to do to pre-
vent their disabled cars from being
further damaged before they reach
the repair shop.
Take, for instance broken pis-
ton. This Is not an uncommon
thing yet it happens just infrequent-
ly enough to cause a lot of extra
trouble for drivers who are not up
on the subject. If q piston top
breaks, the first thing to do is to
disconnect the plug for that par
ocular cylinder. Take the end of
the plug wire and tie 1t against
some insulated point where 1t cannot
spark.
This takes pressure off the piston
and relieves it of all strains other
than inertia. This sounds technical
but it's simple enough when you re-
member the old law about bodies
tendin' to remain at rest or in mo-
ton once you have let 'em do one
or the other. The broken piston top
will fly off each time the piston
stops on its upper dead center
When it falls, it'll hit the moving
remainder of the piston, end make a
sharp clankin' noise. If the cylinder
was firm you can see how this
broken part might get badly jam
med and cause all kinds of trouble.
Inertia is bad enough, yet Is may
serve to throw the broken part up
until it sticks in the upper part of
the cylinder which may be a little

A Light for Pedestrians

In searching for the system that
will make the automatic traffic
light the greatest possible agency
for safety, traffic authorities have
been unable to agree on the ques-
ton of right turns. Some permit
such turns on the green light only.
some on both red and green. I'm
Questionably, If right turns are peC-
mitted on either signal. pedestrians
have a difficult time at intersections.
There is increasing favor for the
proposition of using the yellow light
to solve the problem. Keep the right
turns on either the red or green
signal, hackers of this proposal
say. They ask, however. that the
yellow light period be made longer
and that, during it. only pedestrian
traffic be allowed to move. This
would give the walker an opportun-
ity to cross in either direction with
out interference from vehicular traf-
&c.
Traffic authorities agree that the
tendency of automobile traffic is to
abuse the yellow light period more
than all others combined. Those
who favor devoting this time to
pedestrians entirely argue that 1t is
the one effective way to stop this
abuse.
How the lights should be used is
distinctly a local problem, varying
greatly with local conditions. 1t is
possible that this proposal would
work in some communities and fail
completely in others.

Beats Human Heart
In Its Activity

Contrary to the general idea, the
human heart is not the hardest
working piece of machinery which
remains in reliable service. accord
ing to engineering executives of
the Hudson Motor Car Co. In fact,
compared with the action of a pis-
ton in an automobile. the heart is
considerable of q sluggard, they say.
These figures are pointed out:
The pulsations of heart are nor
mally about 70 to the minute.
whereas q motor travelling 30 miles
than 1000 times q minute. In this
period there will be twice that num-
Der of pulsations for each piston. or
more than 1000. Thus the piston
action in q motor is at the rate of
around 60 times that Of the heart.
Or, put another way, a piston pull
safes as much in minute as the
heart in an hour.
This fact is most important to
the motor buyer" said f. S. Car
penter, Hudson-E Essex dealer. "be-
because it illustrates to him the i'm
portance of light but strong piston
construction. If such terrific
rate Of activity Is multiplied by
heavy pistons or other reciprocating
parts in the motor. we can easily
understand its destructive force.
If the pistons are light, this burden
on the motor is greatly lessened.
up to few years ago, it was
almost universal practice in the
motor car industry to use heavy
cast iron pistons. But for the past
few seasons, many quality cars in
GLIDING Hudson and Essex have
adopted the aluminium alloy piston,
which weighs from 33 to 40 per cent.
less than a cast iron piston of
similar construction. These pis-
tons are more expensive, and are
another example Of how progress
sive automobile firms have adopted
lighter and stronger materials in
important units of construction.
The result is a much smoother and
a longer lived motor. These pistons
are all the more satisfactory since
it has been possible to fit them more
closely in the cylinder-an early
day problem with them.
Hudson and Essex cars have
these pistons as q basic item of
their design. In both these cars,
too, the Super-Six principle mini
mizes all motor pulsations. actually
preventing vibration before it hap

high levels for all time. The specu-
lative belief that coal carrying roads
would make a more generous distri-
button of earnings to stockholders as
, a result Of unusual prosperity this
year was an important factor in the
advance.
Call money renewed at Ia per-
cent and held steady at that figure

the official rate were reported in the

A drop of one cent or more BUSH
ell in active wheat futures, based on
more favorable weather reports, fea-
tured the commodity markets.
l. Leadership of the upward move
ment in the bond market passed to
United States government obligations
which were eagerly sought following
the announcement that 100000
treasury issues had been oversub-
scribed. All of the treasury bonds
sold at the best prices of the year
cuted for Liberty Bonds, especially
those with early maturieies.
Foreign issues were somewhat less
active but most Of them maintained

their high price of the year at 81 rs.
A $24,121,000 loan for the province
Of Buenos Aires was heavily over
subscribed.
A strong buying movement in the
six percent bonds of the Chile Cop

trading in domestic securities. More
than 100000 of these liens were
turned over with the price advancing
to a new high around 100 ga.

Pay Tribute to
Improved Packard

The improved Packard cars were
received with enthusiasm when
they were introduced in England.
The automobile editor Of the Lon
don Taller. accepted as one of the
foremost experts on motor cars had
this to say of them:
Those who are familiar with fine
cars have always recognized some
thing exceptional in the Packard.
one of the very best cars that
America sends US today, and well
come because Of its quality. AS a
pioneer in the multi-cylinder prin-
ciple this make comes forward with
straight-eight and single-six.
Both chassis answer to the same
general specification, which In
cludes monobloc unit engine with
centrally controlled three-speed
gear-box. expanding brakes on all
four wheels, worked upon the
Bendix third shoe system. special
carburetor, and finally, all chassis
details constantly and automatically
fabricated from a central supply Of
oil.
Here, indeed is an effective in
surance policy against otherwise in
evitable wear and tear. and q COM
plete elimination of the fuss and
trouble generally associated with
attention to these minor working
parts which. being out of sight, are
so frequently out of mind.
Packard has pioneered many
principles, not least that multi
cylinder tendency which is SO ap-
parent today in cars of quality, but
it is answerable for nothing better
than this very effective chassrs
fabrication scheme. One can feel
sure that once its virtues are ap-
preciated, the intelligent owner and
particularly the owner driver, will
never willingly return to anything
less comprehensive. trouble-free or
effectual. emi-balloon tires are
standardized on Packards. but there
Is no 'shimmy', this having been
obviated by scientific design"

Wash-Day Suggestions

It is a good plan to wash the car
in sections, from time to time using
very little water and no soap. This
can be done instead of polishing,
and to very good advantage.
If the hood is little dull and
spotty go over it lightly with clean,
wet sponge. Clean the sponge and
go over the hood again with fresh
water. When the hood dries rub
briskly with a soft, clean cloth.
Drying with a chamois will make 1t
unnecessary to rub with a rag, but
the channels is not so good, for the
finish.
An occasional polishing, however.
Is advisable in order to keep the
finish from excessive drying.
The sponge method of washing
the windows is a time saver.
