AUTO CLUB PREPARES
DATA FOR TOURISTS
Southern California Association
Gets Up Information on Ma
tional Old Trails.

Motorists contemplating a cross
country tour this Summer will be
aided bys data prepared by the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California on
the national old trails from Los
Angeles to New York City. Accord
ing to the officials taking part in the
preparation Of this data, the present
survey may be considered fairly typi-
cal of long distance touring expert
enceS.
The report shows that in travelling
the 3,1S6 miles from the Atlantic to
the Pacific Coast, the motorist will
go nearly half way on pavement.
This will include brick, oil and maca-
dam, and will total ,450 miles of the
trip. Gravel surface roads total / ,007
while dirt surface roads, including
some sanded, total 729 miles
The highest mountain to be crossed
on the National Old Trails is Ration
Pass, on the Colorado-New Mexico
line. an elevation of 1883 feet. Other
high points on> the trail include the
Grand Canyon in Arizona. 7,150 feet,
and Cajon Pass, Calf, 1880 feet. The
highest altitude in the East is Cum
berland Summit, in Maryland.

No-wheel Brakes Now.

Something new may be coming
along in the brake line. Motordom
has had two wheel brakes, then four
wheel brakes. Now there is agitation
in favor Of no-Wheel brakes. stop
pers'' may be taken off the wheels
altogether
This would result in far greater sim
plicity and better control, out the ar
rangement probably awaits the gen
eral adoption of the four wheel drive
passenger car. The advantage OF four
wheel brakes at present is the equal
ization Of braking control, which is
not possible il brakes are taken off the
wheels of a rear.wheel drive car.
Interest has been revived in the no
wheel idea as a result of rumors that
one of the new cars does not coast as
freely as it's contemporaries, though
offering other advantages, including
greater safety. In other words, the
braking control Is thought to be get

Speedometers to Blame.

Inaccurate speedometers are coming
in for their share Of the blame for the
large number Of accidents. 1t is point.
ed out, for instance. that if speed
ometer is slow, the driver is apt to be
driving faster than he imagines and is
taxing the capacity of his brakes.
The stepped up speedometer pre-
sents further difficulties. In one case
a driver did not use his brakes at all
in an emergency, preferring 10 engage
in some wild steering because he
thought he was travelling too fast to
stop in time to avoid a smash-up. At
the time his speedometer told him he
was travelling 40 miles an hour, but
more truthful instrument would
have rated the speed at 80.
Because so many speedometers are
stepped up" the brakes on a number
of cars are not anywhere near as effec-
tive as owners imagine them to be.
Many persons, for instance, think they
can bring their cars to stop in 98.7
feet when running 40 miles an hour,
which is a healthy normal for four

ABSENT T-MINDEDNESS
CAUSE OF MISHAPS
Motorists Minds Too Often Are on
Business or Family
Problems.

Many motorists have difficulty
finding room for thoughts of safety
because they carry their domestic
and business troubles with them, in
the opinion of Ernest n. Smith, gem
eral manager of the American Auto
moh.le Association.
The A. A. A., he says. has been
studying the behavior of motorists
in an effort to discover why there
is 50 much apparent carelessnesS.
The preoccupation of the motorists
mind is one of the principal features
thus far disclosed by the investiga-
tionS.
Motorists carry their business
and domestic troubles with them"
declares Mr. Smith, "and the result
is there is very little room for
thoughts of safety. The housewife
does too much shopping While at the
wheel. The business man puts over
too many deals while he is lodging
pedestrians. Altogether the situa-
ton is not conducive of safety
How Mr.. Smith reached his con-
clusions is as interesting as the con-
cluSions themselves. Members of the
safety and accident prevention com
mittee of the organization were COM
missioned to accept offers to ride
with motorists and to endeaVOr to
discover what the drivers were think
ing about Almost invariably the
drivers launch ID into a conversation
regarding their respective interests.
The assumption was that If there
had been no one in the car to talk
these matters over with, the drivers
would have discussed the matter
with themselves. mentally.
Only small percentage of drivers
tested talked about traffic. pedes
trians, safety and 2recaution," says

on matters quite unrelated to the
task at hand. and observers noted
that the drivers We're inclined to be

MANY ACCESSORIES
ARE NEEDED ABROAD
American Products Find Markets
in 81 Foreign
Nations.

American-made automobile access
sories are popular in many foreign
countries. The latest report of the
United States Department of Com
merce dealing with the subject reveals
that u countries are purchasers of
American devices that go to make
motoring more safe and convenient.
The results show the following
order of demand for each accessory:
Spot-lights and motometers in 13
countries; rear.view mirrors, -; wind
shield wipers. 4; bumpers. II; spare
tires, 10; spare wheels, 3; gasoline
gauges, s. shock absorbers, 8. The
following accessories We're each in de-
mand in one country: Side lights,
clocks, inspection lamps, stop lights,
trunks, smoking and vanity kits.
power tire pumps, and rear baggage
racks.
Several drastic differences from the
American market are revealed in this
survey, as for instance the prevalence
of open cars in many countries. In
the Sac Paolo district of Brazil only
per cent are closed cars. In Argen-
tina the law requires two side lights.
AS a rule, magnet ignition is more
popular In Europe, and battery ig-
milton in South America.

OIL PUR|F|CAT|ON
HELD ESSENTIAL
Importance of Efficient De-
vice Stressed by Speakers
Before Auto Engineers.

Essential to the efficient and proper
operation Of an automobile engine is
a suitable oil-purifying device, accord
ing to three speakers at a recent meet
ing of the Indiana section of the
Society of Automotive Engineers. held
in indianapolis.
After mentioning the injurious
effects of the presence in The lubricat
ing oil of the unburned heavy ends OF
the motor fuel. of the water resulting
from combustion, of acid. and of dust
and particles of metal. Ralph l.. Skin
ner said that when the heavy fuel
ends and the water are removed. the
oil in the CrankcaSe maintains sum
cient body to avoid excessive wear by
the solid matter. that there is little
opportunity for "sludging" and that
the formation Of acids that etCh the
metal parts is avoided.
The device by which these results
are obtained consists of a rectiher that
receives the diluted oil from behind
the lower piston ring and subjects II
to properly regulated heat which
drives off the heavy fuel ends and the
water and returns the purified oil to
the crankcase. The action Of the
purifier is intermittent and gains its
operating energy from the suction OF
the intake manifold Of the engine.
Another device. described by Joseph
c. Coulombe of Byrne. Kingston &
Co., employs d heat unit strapped TO
the exhaust manifold and a vacuum
tank that is actuated by the intake
maDfold suction. The tank maintains
an intermittent flow Of oil through the
heat unit. aerates the oil and passes
it through a filter back To the crank
case.

ENGINES REQUIRE
E. VERY LITTLE OIL
Decentralization and DiIution
Called Allied and Avoid
able Evils.

The evils Of overlubrication of the
internal combustion engine and dilu-
ton of the oil supply can be over
come only by supplying such small
quantities of oil to the engine that
excessive fabrication will be impos-
sible and by using only fresh oil. This
solution Of these problems was Of
fered at the annual meeting of the
Society of Automotive Engineers in
Detroit by T. +. Coleman of the Mad
1sonk kipp Corporation.
Since the real purpose of the lu-
bricant is to separate the bearing sur
faces effectively, it is proper To feed
only the quantity OF oil required for
that purpose" said Mr.. Coleman. I'VE
have determined that n ~. inch pis
ton needs only Is drops of fresh oil
per minute when operating under
full load at 300 revolutions per min
ute. If the proper mechanism is
used to feed oil to the piStons in such
quantity the surplus will be very
small. The crankpin bearings of
45 45-horsepower four-cylinder truck en-
eine operating under full load at
1000 revolutions per minute require
not more than five drops of fresh oil
per minute per bearing.

IS injected into each cylinder at Il
point opposite the first bridge wall
of the piston at the down dead-Center
position of the piston and an oil lead
carries the lubricant to each main
bearing, whence it is thrown to the
crankpin bearing. A slight groove is
fooled into the cylinder at the point
of oil injection, and the piston, when
3n it's down dead-center position,
stands with it's first bridge wall just
opposite this groove. Our experience
has proved that five oil impulses per
1000 engine revolutions are sufficient
for good cylinder fabrication"
This method of oiling not only sup
plies fresh oil directly to the cylinder
walls as soon as the engine is started,
thereby avoiding delayed fabrication

vents carboniZation and engine knocks

There would be fewer traffic delays
if more people could drive their cars
as expertly as they think they can.
Triple Braking Standard.

Motorists are beginning to oil up
their brakes in anticipation Of the
showdown in stopping ability. When
four-wheel brakes first made their APP
pearance on the standard makes of
cars in this country there was much
talk of the double standard of stop
ping" but the situation has been slow
in developing. With so large per-
centage Of cars carrying brakes on all
four wheels, however, the double
standard" situation is rapidly taking
definite form. Further to complicate
matters u triple standard" is also
developing.
There is wide variation in the stop
ping ability of different system of
four-wheel brakes. Already one man.
ufacturer who does not provide front
and rear braking of equal intensity is
finding himself at disadvantage,
since the arrangement encourages
locking OF the rear wheels, sliding and
inefficient stopping. At the other eX-
treme there is a Partisan product,
which, it is claimed, can be made 10
stop in a remarkable fashion.
One driver OF this high powered car
in New York is ready to wager $500
that he can stop it within it's own
length while travelling so miles an
hour This would mean stopping
within 148 inches against 154 feet, the
average stopping distance at this
speed for the conventional four-wheel
brake equipped car. He claims to
have brought his machine to a halt
within six feet while travelling at 40
miles an hour.
1t is possible that the car in ques-
ton has a good speedometer, but few
cars with the best Of braking systems
can stop within their own length when
travelling at anything over Is miles
an hour.
The time has come, many expert
enced drivers believe, when one has to
choose the safe makes Of cars to trail
in traffic. Many also check up now
and again to see how quickly they
could stop IL necessary.

SAYS BALLOON TIRES
DEVELOP new IDEAS
Discussion Brings Conclusions,
Writer Asserts, That May Be Set
Down as "Certainties."

Out of the discussions of balloon
tires a few conclusions can now be
set down as certainties. 1t has been
demonstrated that a semi-balloon
type-or balloon with six-ply walls
must be kept up to the prescribed
pressure just as in the case of a full
balloon, but for a different reason
The six-ply tire will generate heat
through friction, which tends to
break down the walls if under
inflated.
The walls of the full balloon, on til
other hand, will stand for under
initiation, since they are more nearly
like a flexible rubber ball, but in this
condition the rim will cut through the
tire. This may show the same re
suits as if the walls themselves were
injured through excessive flexing.

NEVER RUSH INTO MUD.
Useful Rule In Automobile Driv-
ing Is Cited.

One of the most useful rules in
driving is never to rush into mud
Such a process merely throws the
weight Of the car forward and lowers
the tractive factor at the rear wheels,
causing them to spin. If it becomes
necessary to try rushing, assuming
that all other plans fail, the sensible
course is to drive the car backward
into the difficult situation. Weight is
then thrown upon the rear wheels and
traction is increased.

WHEN'AIR is CLEANER.
Directions Given to Supply Cal
With Pure Breathing.

An automobile engine breathes
cleaner air when IT is idling. This is
because air is being drawn through
the narrower passages of the carbure-
tor and the throttle itself acts as a
battle plate to defect any stray par
ticles of dirt. For the motorist with
an eye to efficiency. therefore, this
suggests a plan. Whenever passing
through cloud of dust he will re-
member to take his foot off the accel-
orator and declutch. The engine then
