FUTURE MOTOR CLUB
FEATURES OUTLINED
General Manager Of A. A. A. Fore
sees Them Functioning on Va
riety Of Civic Activities.

Outlining the striking features of
future motoring. some surprising
functions of the motor clubs of to-
morrow are pointed out by Ernest
n. Smith, general manager of the
American Automobile Association.
In his prophecy of motor conditions
of tomorrow Mr.. Smith lays par
ticular stress upon the use of the
auto clubs headquarters as polls
where car owners will vote for the
things they want in the way of legis-
lation, ordinances. highway appro-
priations and other matters directly
affecting their welfare.
THE time is coming" he declares,
when there will be suffrage for
motorists SO effective that If laws are
passed in violation of car owners
rights and desires all the weapons of
intelligent unionism will be at their
disposal. The modern motor club

REMEMBER THE Rim
WHEN CHECKING UP
Tire Experts Advice to Motorists
in Planning Spring Re-
pair Work.

Remember the rim.
This advice is offered by tire experts
to the motorist at the season for the
annual check-up of his automobile
prior to Spring repair work. No other
part of the car, tiremen say, gets so
little attention as this particular bit
Of wheel equipment.
Drivers today are listening intently
for knocks in the engine and looking
for hicks in the paint, but few Of them
without special urging are expected to
look for rust on the rims. IF they do
look for this particular condition they
are most likely to find it, for rims that
have gone through a Winter driving
season usually corrode and rust and.
in this condition, are menace to tire
equipment. Bent or warped rims are
equally as harmful.
Corroded, rims should be thoroughly
buffed to remove every trace Of rust

ally cautioned him, but of being
| quicker in starting to stop.
Evening star., 1926-04-04

You hardly can burn them out stop
ping abruptly on the level, but if you
make the mistake of trying to tone
up the brakes on downgrades, the
Innings soon will be lifeless. You also
should know that when internal eX-
panding brakes become hot, the
drums expand away from the Innings
and the result is lowered efficiency"
Smith soon understood why good
brakes are but half the story of sat
isfactory stopping. The rest is a mat
ter of operation. with knowledge, pre-
paredness, quick thinking and quick
physical response to mental impulses
playing vital roles in the order given.
He decided to pull on the brakes for
an evenings conference with the in
struction book. Smith is never too
experienced to forget how little any
one knows about automobiles and
their operation.

ENGINEERS STUDY
BODY MATERIALS
Europeans Experimenting in
Wood Structure-Ameri-
cans Prefer Steel.

American and European body de.
Signers are taking opposite paths in
their quest for a substitute for the
present combination of wood and
metal body construction and experts
are looking with intense interest upon
the experiments now being conducted
on a large scale by these respective
groups.
The American designers are giving
their attention to a steel body involv-
ing inf1exibility. while European en-
gineers are working on body of wood
with cloth covering that is flexible
in every part.
Discussing this trend in design. j.
B. Edwards, writing in the Automobile
Digest, says Of the American engi-
neers' work:
Less Material Needed.
Due to the greater strength of
steel. much less of this material need
be used. Moreover, steel is a more
tractable material than wood and /.
can be formed into sections that pro-
vide even greater strength for the
amount of material used than Is APP
parent from the relative strengths of
steel and wood. \ pillar or beam can
be constructed Of steel that will not
only be stronger than a similar one of
wood but also lighter.
Thus bodies may be built with steel
framing that are both stronger ana
lighter than similar bodies built upon
foundation Of wood. This feature
not only makes possible a lighter and
stronger body, but also allows many
of the body parts to be made smaller,
providing more room inside the body
with the same outside dimensions.
THE pillars between the doors in
closed bodies and between the doors
and the windshield may also be made
smaller. allowing clearer vision. More
than one accident has occurred be.
cause a portion Of the road was con
cealed from the driver by wide strip
OF body between the front door and
the windshield.
Firmer Parts Possible.
1T is in the frame joints however.
that the biggest advantage in the all
metal frame is to be had. With metal
these joints may be riVeted or welded
together, making the several parts as
firm as if they were actually of one
piece. There are no screws to loosen
under repeated strains and twists or
from swelling and shrinking of the
wood under seasonable changes.
From the standpoint of safety. the
steel body leaves little to be desired.
The principal reason for the modern
all.steel railroad coach is the safety to
passengers it affords in case Of
wreck. Thr~e Is no reason why the
all-steel automobile body should not
furnish a proportionate amount of
safety in case Of an automobile acci-
dent, particularly cases involving a
turnover Of a closed body job. A mod
ern all.steel body has sufficient
strength to support its chassis in prac-
tically any type of turnover, except
ing. of course. drop down over the

CARBON SPOILS PISTONS.
Heats Pins. Burning Off Oil and
Causing Excessive Wear.

Have that carbon removed now.
Carbon infiiCtS wear on piston pins,
IN addition to doing other serious
damage. The reason for this is clear,
when a piston top is so caked with
carbon that it becomes red hot, the
temperature Of the piston is raised
abnormally.
The piston pin. being Graded in the
piston itself, also becomes excessively
hot. What oil splaShes on it is
thinned and quickly burned off. The
effect is the same as if the piston pin
were underoiled.
Canadian automobile manufacturers
turned out 400 cars last year, and
Of this number Sc, ,665 were exported.

If the lines of the car are a little

ticularly the disc wheels-by me .s
