innovation Made by George Houser
at Houser's Garage

at HouSer'S garage
George Houser, who has added a
highly creditable sales and display
room to the great advantage of the
Chevrolet motor cars in this sect
ion, now announces that he is able
to offer substantial savings in all
repairs and repair work. A feature
of the new Houser Garage in East
Washington avenue, is the splendid,
ly equipped repair shop.
Here the Chevrolet is given In
spection and reconditioning at the
hands of Chevrolet experts and
authorized repair parts installed.
Naturally, the very finest work IS
assured while the rates are lower
than are to be found elsewhere. Mr..
Houser has inaugurated flat rates.
These rates and the quality of the
work insures the car owner the
most favorable treatment it is
possible to obtain.
Mr.. Houser continues to receive

STUDEBAKER HAS
OWN GROUND FOR
TESTING AUTOS

Studcbaker has purchased section
and a quarter of land II miles from
it's South Bend plant, on which is be-
ing laid out the very last word IN
proving and experimental grounds.
Over rough roads, through sand
and mud, up and down hills, theories
and plans Of the engineering and cx-
perimental departments of the Cor
porations must meet the actual test
Of use. The task Of testers will be
to try to break down cars and put to
the acid test every idea submitted to
them for trial.
A car or y car part which survives
the trials it meets on this unique
500 acre tract never will worry its
owner. No owner ever will meet the
combination of bad roads which the
tested cars must conquer.
The Studebaker test ground covers
massed hills beside level plain. A
straight away track Of mile and Il
quarter, 20 feet wide, is ample for
pickup and acccleration, rolling fric-
ton and fuel economy tests; for
braking trials and for determining
adjustments necessary for wide speed
ranges.
A thrce-mile loop with 20-foot
driveway for endurance tests at sus-
tanned high speed will permit driving
up to IS miles an hour. This is suf.
ficient to bring out first evidence OF
wear, SO that provision may be made
in manufacturing to meet that wear.
But it is the hill road. winding up

Cleveland, O., Feb. 27.-Indica-
tions in the automobile industrial
field point to a successful year in
1926. The chief problem which
manufacturers will have to face dur

"This means reasonable money

HOW CRUDE OUR
AUTO STILL IS
It's Antique by Contrast With
Developments Being Test
ed by Auto Engineers
BY ISRAEL KLEIN

Science Editor, NEA Service
How utterly, inefficient and far
from perfect the modern automo-
bile is. has been brought out as
never before, at the recent annual
meeting of the Society Of Automo-
tive Engineers at Detroit.
There, engineers stripped the
automobile of its glamour and
prestige and revealed car in need
of many refincments and improve
mcnts To make it comfort and
pleasure in driving.
Some of the topics discussed at
this meeting are included in the
following papers presented at De-
troit.
l. A supercharger for automo-
bile engines, which would not only
increase the power Of the engine,
but will result in higher engine
torque at low speed, providing
greater power from the same pis-
ton displacement, greater flexibil-
: ity and therefore improvement of
the present transmission system.
Possibility Of Heavier Fuel
Size of the engine could be re-
duced to that required for normal
conditions on leval roads, with the
supercharger assuring the . neces-
sary reserve power for hill climb
ing and acceleration. The engine
could be run at maximum efficiency
speed and the heat generated by
the compressor, with the center
fugal and pulverizing effect of the
air blast on the fuel, would result
in better mixture distribution with
the present motor fuel and the
possibility of using heavier fuels
successfully.
2. Operation of cars at low
temperatures is being studied at
the Dodge factory, where a special
refrigerated laboratory has been
built.
3. Different summer and winter
fuels were suggested by J. O.
i Eisinger of the U. S. Bureau OF
Standards starting performance
in cold as we'll as in warm weather
4. Color harmonies are being
studied. and the somber, black ano
dark blue finishes are being re
placed by lifelike, yet dignified
hues.
Small, Heavy Fuel Engine
5. Snnealing brakes are being
replaced by drums of more durable
type and an adjustment that give:
more uniform clearance, for quie
action.
6. Permanent, fadeless pig
ments for auto paints are beins
tested by various paint manufac
turers. for better car cOloring.

weight engine to run on heavy fue

TRIAL PURCHASES

An automobile dealer in Santa
Ana, Calf, operates a used car
business on the policy of "five days
free trial" The prospective pur-
chaser can test the car anywhere
and in any way he pleases for five
days before making the purchase.

MAKES TIRE TESTS

Most of the large tire companies
now USE the resiliometer, mach
inc which tests tires to check the
tread wear. The resiliometer is a
machine which holds mounted tires.
The tire is run against a sandpaper
surface until the tread is worn off
and the tire definitely fails.

ROOTS FROM TIRES
