Passing for Safety.

When is driver justified in pass
ing the car ahead?
This Is question that puzzles
many. Thousands of accidents are
directly traceable to passing cars,
and yet there are more accidents re-
sulting from not passing cars when
there is every reason why one should.
Even the fumes from the exhaust
of a worn or overoiled engine may be
a menace to life and property. Any
driver is justified in trying to get
ahead Of such a highway annoyance
that he may breathe fresh air, be
able to keep his mind clear and i'm
prove his visibility.
1t is a good rule never to follow a
car that has no spotlight signal or
whose driver does not use signals.
1t is bad policy to follow cars with
license plates of other States.
Strangers may not know where they
are going. They are apt to stop
suddenly or deliberate at crossings.
1t is safer to let them. follow.
Cars that are weak on hills are
poor leaders. Their drivers will try
to force their engines up in high
gear. When the shift comes there
Is likely to be stalling. Even going
uphill 1t Is not always an easy mat
ter to stop short, particularly If there
are other cars coming down the hill
and no possible escape by passing
around the stalling car at the last
moment.

planning and safety submitted to the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce by Alvin McCauley.
while the element of carelessness
cannot be excused, it likewise seems
clear that our cities. built in the
horse age, have not yet become well
adapted to the new means of trans
portation," says Mr.. McCauley.

ways and fewer grade crossings.
"In addition to these much can be
accomplished by more constructive
local pride which will impress each
citizen with the fact that his conduct
as a motorist is a reflection for good
or i'll upon his own city.

cities is necessarily gradual. and the
need for individual carefulness at this

New Cautions for Old.

When the cone clutch passed out

passenger automobile, the motorist
breathed a sigh of relief because he
felt that at last there would be no
more grabbing and no more strip
ping of pinion and ring gears when
the clutch was engaged too suddenly.
With his new disc or plate clutch, he
found that an occasional slip of the
foot brought no particular penalty.

chamber drives off the gasoline and
water in the form of vapor. which Is
then drawn into the carburetor and
burned in the engine. The filtered and
rectified oil Is then returned to the
crankcase.
What Rectifier Should DO.
A good commercial rectifier should
strain the dirt out of the oil. distill off
the diluent and water. maintain the
viscosity of the oil. eliminate the ne
cessity for draining the crankcase so
often, increase the oil and gasoline
mileage. prevent much of the wear of
cylinder walls and bearings. permit
the use of lighter grades of oil the
year round, prevent freezing of the
oil pump in cold weather. keep the
pistons sealed and increase the COM
preston and power. help to prevent
fouling of the spark plugs and pre-
vent rusting and the formation of sui
phuric acid and sludge.
Some of the rectifiers on the mar
ket accomplish all of these things to,
a certain extent and others accomplish
some of them extremely well. accord
ing to Mr.. Wall. who expresses the
hope that some day we shall see rec
tifier that will accomplish all of them
perfectly.

AUTO OIL PROBLEM
WIDELY DISCUSSED
Crankcase Rectification Is
Viewed by Engineers From
Different Angles.

Engineers engaged In solving the
problem of crankcase oil rectification
have attacked it from widely different
angles One school has worked on the
theory that IL dirt lis kept out of the
lubricant in an automobile engine. or
If the dirt that gets in is strained out,
the diluted product win not be harm
full. Another group believes that if
gasoline and water are Kept out and
the vicosity of the oil is kept up fairly
well, the dirt will not be injurious.
These points are made by w. G.
Wall, a consulting engineer. in the
September issue of the Journal of the
Society of Automotive Engineers in
an article in which he expresses the
conviction that it is necessary to work
along both lines. and either keep out
or get rid of both the dirt and the
dilutiOn.
Amount of Dirt Enormous.
Few appreciate the enormous amount
amount of dirt that gets into the en-
CINE, the amount Of dilution that gets
past the pistons or the amount of wa
ter that gets into the crankcase from
condensation of the water vapor Of
combustion. Any strainer that takes
out the dirt helps to alleviate the
faults due to the sludge formed by
mixture of the dirt with the emulsion
produced by the churning together of
the oil and water, but to eliminate the
sludge altogether, according to Mr..
Wall, it is necessary to get rid of all
the water.
This Is the purpose of an oil recti-
fer in which exhaust gases from the
engine cylinders pass through jacket
surrounding a distillation chamber
into which the oil Is pumped from the
crankcase at the rate of about three
gallons per hour. The oil is filtered
and goes through the distilling ap-
paratus about once every hour for an
average sized crankcase.
The rectifier has lower compart
ment provided with a large asbestos
filter sack, through which the oil must
pass and which removes all Of the
dirt before the oil enters the upper or
dietillation chamber. Heat in this

Now You Have It.

Answer to last weeks questions:
l. The ammeter does not show the
current being discharged when the
engine Is being started. The rate is
very high. in large engines running
momentarily as high as 200 emperes.
The average is about 100 amperes.
2. The function OF the carburetor
needle valve is to regulate the rate
at which gasoline flows from the
float chamber to the jet.
s. The chief difficulty in carburetor
design is to overcome g. tendency of
higher speed and greater suction to
increase the percentage of gasoline
to air all out of proportion.
4. The real purpose of the over
flow pipe in the radiator is to carry
off steam when the radiator gets hot.
This prevents the raising of pressure
which otherwise would cause the
radiator to burst.
5. The function of the spring clip
is to keep the leaves Of the spring
from being pulled apart when the
body of the car rebounds from a
rough place in the road

Nash Still at Large; Guard
arrested for Helping Him

No clue to the whereabouts of Har-
ry H. Nash has so far been found, the
state penitentiary officials say.
Aided by Don r. Rendering, prison
guard, according to the guards admis-
sion, Harry II. Nash, serving an IN
determinate term of 90 to rs years in
the state prison at Florence for the
murder of Martin Il. Schwab, scaled
the walls of the state penitentiary at
Florence, Monday night and made his
escape, it was announced by prison
officials following the exclusive pub
lication of the story last week in The
Coconino Sun. Nash is still at liberty,
they said.
Nash was first missed at roll call
Tuesday morning, officials said, and
an investigation was started to learn
how he escaped. The investigation
failed to show rope, tracks or any
thing to indicate the method of es-
cape.
Suspicion then was directed toward
Rendering, officials said and he was
questioned. He finally admitted that
he had allowed Nash to go over the
east wall where he was on guard duty
Monday night, according to the ottl-
cials.
| Nash, the officials said, had charge
of the flour mill which was installed
at the prison about one and one-half
years ago, and slept at night III the

BOY SCOUT TROOP NO. 5
TAKE HIKE INTO HILLS

Saturday morning, despite snow
storm, Boy Scout troop Nc. 5, in
charge Of Scoutmaster G. G. Wittorff
took a hike into the hills, party for
the purpose Of completing tests for
advancement and partly for the good
time to be had. However, the snow
soon stopped falling and the sun
cleared off the ground. Scouts pres
ent were John jake, Milton Nichols,
Arthur Pearson, C. B. Wilson, Jr.,
Leslie Wyatt and our most recent
neophytes, Aubrey and Newton Sinp-
son.
The following tests were successful
ly passed: Pacing, tracking, second
class cooking II pound Of steak and
two potatoes without utensils), first
class cooking (Hunter's stew and a
twist of biscuit dough), fire build
ing, knife and axe practice. This
work will finish the course for Arthur
Pearson for second class scout; while
c. B. Wilson, Jr and Leslie Wyatt
viii finish some minor inside tests be-
fore the close of the month and quail
fly for second class.
The troop met at 9 am. at the court
house equipped for good days hike.
Some misgiyings were felt over the
snow, but when once started this was
soon dispelled. The first stop was at
the city baseball park for the pacing
tests, which require that a scout must
travel one mile in Il minutes at the
scout pace Of fifty steps walking and
fifty steps trotting.
Milton Nichols was then given a
map of the surrounding country and
John jake a compass and were told
to take the party to the southeast cor
ner Of section seven in township II
north, range T east. After a half
hours hike, o camp site was selected
in clearing, stone fireplaces built
and fires started by those taking the
firebuilding tests and despite the wet
weather a maximum of two matches
were employed in their building Of the
fires After good meal, mostly OF
the boys own cooking, ScoutmasteI
Wittortf and Patrol Leader John jake
laid trail fer the boys taking the
trailing tests. Several pieces Of back
tracking caused the boys following the
trail quite some difficulty, but all
came in within the allotted time.
Construction was started on a cabin,
to be built of dead logs, brush and
pine needles, to be finished at some
future trip. The encampment was
closed with games at four o'clock
sharp, with all the boys happy and
anxious for the next trip. The date
for the next hike has not been decided
on but many such trips are planned
for this spring.

Monday and bought an automobile
for $500, paying $75 on the machine.
He then drove the car to Florence and
parked it on Butte avenue in Florence
about one-quarter mile from the pris-
OH, he said
Kemberling, the officials said, went
on duty at o'clock Monday afternoon
after telling Sl1idmore, another of the
guards that he wanted to get off
duty between 8 and o'clock Skid
more, the officials said, relieved
Rendering at o'clock and an hour
later, he came back and resumed his
shift on the wall.
About 10:30 o'clock, according to
the confession made by Rendering,
prison officials said, Nash came out
of the flour mill, tossed to him on
the wall a rope which he hooked Sc
curely. Nash then climbed up the
rope, Rendering said, dropped over
the other side of the wall and disap-
peared in the darkness. He made his
escape in the car which Rendering
had bought and parked on Butte
avenue, officials said.
Rendering was held to answer to
the Plnal county superior court on a
charge of aiding and abetting a pris-
oner to escape, after preliminary
hearing of the charge in the justice
court at Florence. His bail was fixed
at $1,000.
Rendering had been on guard duty
for about two months. He is a shell
shocked veteran Of the World war, Of
ficials said, and his nervous condition
made him an easy victim of Nash's
plea for sympathy. In his confession,
the guard said he paid the first pay
ment on the car from his own funds,
receiving no money from Nash. The
circumstances surrounding the pur-
chase OF the car and Rendering s
record were investigated by Ernest
Mcfarland, county attorney of Pinal
county, who came to Phoenix for that
purpose, after the confession, officials
said.
