from Warren, Shena ndoah and neigh

for enough money to pave the small!
stretch on the direct road from Mount
Royal to Washington. This thorough
fare. probably to be known as the
John Marshall Highway. would cut 80
, miles from the mileage between the
northern part of the Shenandoah
Valley and the National Capital.
Another argument advanced in
favor of this road, and an argument
that was adopted by many other dele

approach that eventually must be
built to the northern, or Front Royal
entrance to the Shena nandeah National

No. 131-Telltale Dashboard.

For the first time in his motoring
career Smith appreciated the real
value of the instruments and meters
on the dash. He had not paid any
attention to the subnormal condition
of the ammeter. choosing to pay a
generator repair bill instead. Then
1t was that he bought every new in
strument board device that he could
find and settled down to the business
of keeping track of the condition of
the car by watching the Pickering
Indicators.
The gasoline gauge interested him
particularly. He found that the one
he had bought told more than merely
how much gasoline was in the tank.
Because of it's hydrostatic principle of
operation, ii told him whether or
not the vacuum tank was working
properly.
The gauge was operated by air
pressure, controlled, in turn. by the
pressure of the gasoline in the tank
vacuum tank does not suck gaso-
line from the rear tank all the time.
There are short periods of suction
and then considerably longer periods
of rest. Whenever the vacuum sys-
tenn is sucking gasoline forward to
the vacuum tank, there is a hydro
static disturbance in the rear tank.
With gauges operating on this princi-
pie, the indicator will fall back to the
empty" point during the vacuum
tank reflling process
Guide to Vacuum System.
1t worried me to see this indicator
registering empty now and again"
Smith explained. But when the
situation was explained to me 1 saw
that the gauge would be doubly use
ful. If its indicator doesn't fall back
to empty every now and again, III
know there is something wrong with
the vacuum system"
Inspired by his discovery of the dual
of the gasoline gauge,
Smith commenced wondering whether
he couldn't learn more about the
operating condition of his car by OBJ
serving the speedometer more closely.
Several important discoveries were
the result of this decision.
Previous to this, whenever he want
ed to know whether the brakes actual
ly locked the wheels, he found it nee
essary to apply them severely and then
look for the tire marks on the street.
This was rather costly way of check
ing up on the brakes, because very
often the tires did not make marks as
plainly as he looked for, or he would
confuse other tire marks with his own.
/ have seen him test the emergency
brake this way several times before
being satisfied that the brake was in
good condition. All the while the
tires were sliding and wearing.
Now, when he wants to test the
brakes, he operates them vigorously
and. instead of watching the pave
nent, watches the speedometer. If

Admiral Moffett continued, are far in
excess of the proportion Of qualified
personnel gained during this same
period Of time.
Due to- this seemingly Unsuitable
demand for q constant increase of
naval aviators, extensive efforts have
been made by the bureau to interest
officers of all branches In the aims
and requirements Of naval aviation.
Especially have efforts been made to
encourage the younger officers to vol
unteer for assignment to naval aVia-
tion duty. Though during the past
fiscal year net gain Of 54 naval
aviators was made, a greater yearly
increase is essential If the demands of
the service are to be met.
A study of the fiscal year figures for
1924 and 1925 shows that for last year
total of SO officers were assigned to
the naval service. while for 1925 the
number of officers assigned to this
duty was 554. an aggregate net gain
of Is. The greatest gain, as above
indicated, was in naval aviatorS, the
net increase Of officers assigned to
this duty being "a. There was a de-
crease Of IL student naval aviatorS

in this training during 1924, while for
1925 this figure dropped to 30. Line
ground officers for 1924 totaled ~. as
compared with II for the 1925 fiscal
year. During 1924, there were a total
of 101 staff ground officers, compared
with 80 for 1925. a decrease Of but two.
The number of naval observers for
both years remained unchanged, the
number of officers assigned to this
duty being but five. Officers having
fight orders during the fiscal year
1924 totaled 13, while for 1879 this
number had increased to l6.
The continued shortage of enlisted
personnel Admiral Moffett pointed
out in commenting upon the naval air
enlisted situation, has compelled the
department to greatly curtail aircraft
operations at various air stations and
to continue the operation of 12-plane
squadrons instead Of expanding to the
authorized 1S-plane squadrons for the
fleet aviation units. AT the end of
the fiscal year for 1924 there were
1,7SS aviation ratings and 1874 gen.
eral service ratings. or total of
1902 For the fiscal year 1925 the
aviation ratings totaled LII, while
the general service ratings numbered
1897, or a total of 3,30S. This is a
decrease of 294 enlisted ratings dur
ing the year, and since the fiscal year
1922 there has been a reduction of
1898 in these ratings.
The shortage OF both commissioned
and enlisted personnel in naval avia-
ton has severely hampered the activi-
ties Of air units with the fleet. 1t l.

the wheels lock, the propeller shaft
also stops. The speedometer then
registers zero. If the rear wheels do
not lock simultaneously, the speedom-
eter will tell the story. The dial
will indicate a very much reduced
speed, but will not drop to zero. This
is due to the action of the differential
which permits power to be transmit
, ted to the free wheel. Under such
conditions the cars momentum is
substituted for the engines power,
but the differential action is the same
so far as the Speedometer Is con.
cerned.
Because the propeller shaft brake
eliminates the differential action with
respect to the speedometer. correct
operation of this brake should result
in immediate registering Of zero on
the part of the speedometer.
Smith found much Value in COM
pairing the action of the different de-
vices on the instrument board. For
instance, when the ammeter COM
menced registering lower and the
speedometer showed a reduction in
the cars speed. Smith looked to the

that a reduction in the car speed and

suggested.

travelling back to zero again as the
car increases speed. The day this
clutch trouble happened the indicator
had been behaving according to Hoyle.
and when l stepped on the gas rather
suddenly it started showing lower
charging rate just as it should. This
proved that the engine was running
faster. But there was the Speedometer
to show that the car wasn't following
suit"
This was pretty good reasoning on
Smiths part. He caught the idea
that an experienced driver must not
only read the gauges and meters on
the dash but interpret them wisely.

Wrenches are bad things in the
hands of the inexperienced, particu-
larly if the owner starts to monkey
with the carburetor and fuel line con-
nections. because these parts are deli
cate and won't stand for a lot of
rough treatment. Besides there are
4 lot of gaskets in the carburetor and
readjustin' the connections often starts
a leak.
This also applies to the bolts on
the cylinder head of the engine. If
these are turned down in any old way,
the gasket is likely to be thrown
a little off it's equilibrium and start
a leak. The least damage the motor
list can do is to pull the head down
closer to the block and upset the
