Cost OF Running a Car
Not Fixed by Cylinders

Engineers have debated the relative
cost of operation of an eight-cylinder
motor as against the six. Here is the
comment of one expert: THE ex-
pense of running a motor doesn't de-
pend so much on the number of cyl
inders as it does on the number Of
cubic inches of piston displacement.
Take a given piston displacement
and divide it up any way you want
to. into two cylinders, four cylinders,
six or eight cylinders and you will
use just about the same amount of
gas.
"Of course, the greater the number
of cylinders, the more overlapping of
power impulses occurs and the smooth
er the operation of the motor. But
don't make the mistake Of thinking
that additional cylinders mean addi-
tional expense, unless the piston dis
placement is increased"

LEFT SIDE SAFE
ON The HIGHWAY
Parents Also Urged to eau
ton Children Against
Begging for Rides.

With the summer outing season in
full swing, pedestrians on the high
ways are urged to follow the rule OF
walking on the left side, in Mime
sofa highway bulletin.
sWalking on the left side of the
road has been advocated for some time
by police and highway officials who
have made a study of automobile ac-
cidents, yet large number of people
continue to use the right side of the
road when walking" says the bulletin.
This makes it impossible for them to
see vehicles approaching on their side
of the road. The motorist may see
the pedestrians, but he can never be
sure which way they are going to
turn. If he meets another vehicle
Just as he is about to pass hiker,
It may be impossible for him to turn
out WITHOUT striking one of them.
Begging for Rides.
'sThe habit of asking for rides should
also be discouraged. Police in num-
Der of cities have often issued warm
ings against the practice Most motor
lists would be glad to give pedestrians
an occasional lift, but the habit of
asking for rides has been so much
abused that many drivers as a matter
Of self-protection refuse all requests
to give strangers a ride. Parents
should bl. urged to caution their chill
dren against asking for rides. The
practice is exceedingly dangerous
when youngsters stand in the travelled
portion of the street or highway and
signal for a ride"
Pedestrians involved.
An analysis of the motor vehicle
accidents made for the recent Hoover
safety conference showed that pedes-
TRANS were involved in 29,982 out of
AZ, 1928 accidents reported in the state
of NV York in 1925, and that of l.
S91 persons killed, 1855 were pedes-
trians. The report further shows
that so per cent of the motor vehicle
accidents and 65 per cent Of the fatal
ties occurred on straight, level roads.

BOOSTS COMMUNITY
RETIREMENT WORK

Community betterment work In all
Of the 1O.250 posts of the American
Legion throughout the nation is being
prompted and increased by a campaign
recently launched by the National
Amerfcanism commission Of the
Legion, which operates a community
betterment bureau for advice and
guidance to posts in community serv-
ice work.
At least one act Of unselfish service
to the community each year, is the
motto which National Com. John r.
McQuigg has laid down for every
post in the entire organization.
A survey recently made by the
Anericanism commission indicated,
according to Frank G. Cross, director,
that some 1000 Legion posts are now
carrying on work distinctly and ex-
clusively of a community betterment
character. An additional 1000 posts,
he said, are engaged In projects partly
for the benefit of the post itself and
partly for the benefit of the COM
munity. according to the results Of the
survey.
Where posts are already carrying on
community betterment work, Com
mander McQuigg urges that they I'M
dertake an expansion of their pro-
grams. Every post is called upon to
join in the work in a spirited deter
mination to do some service worth
while for its local community.
A feature of the Americanism COM
missions campaign to increase this
type of work among posts was ref
erendum held by the post in its local
community to give the citizens of the
community an opportunity to suggest
what, in their opinion, is the COM
munity activity in which the post can
best engage.
Some fifty community betterment
activities, covering the entire field
and falling into the general classes
of civic improvement, Juvenile ac-
tivities, education, recreation and pub
lie education, have been carried on
by posts.

roads in his state, The buffer, the

the question is location of American
roads; his answer, except for pronun-

United States.
1.-THE increasing interest Americans
are giving to the things which come
down to us from our young past, colo
NAL houses, colonial furniture and In
dian relics, has not yet spread to
roads. They remain to America with
less loss than any other type of treas

Adjusting Motometer Is
Rather Difficult Task

It is a common opinion that the
proper way to collect the fluid in the
indicating tube Of the motometer, if
it becomes separated, is to stick the
stem of the instrument in boiling wa
ter. This is an erroneous opinion, as
it will never gather the fluid. The
fluid is separated due to the fact that
the instrument was left lying on its
side and air bubbles formed. 1t re-
mains separated until it Is restored to
perfect working order, even though
the instrument is put in an upright
position.
This is correctly accomplished by
holding the motometer in an upright
position and quickly tapping the bot
tom of the instrument on the spare
tire of the car until the liquid is gath

For those who expect to enjoy

Touring Bureau of the National Au-

suggestions. Here they are:
Travel light, is the first rule Of
camping equipment. Don't attempt
to carry all the household furniture
along if you really want to enjoy
your outing.
The essentials include a good tent
or a comfortable bed arrangement
within the car; good stove, beds and
bedding. a compact kit of kitchen
utensils and few tools.
Good Tent Essential.
The choice of tent is important.
The tent should be light, compact and
easily erected. A canvas floor is well
worth while and tent pegs should be
of metal. Cots, folding into small
form, are better than heavier springs.
Folding mattresses add to the COM
fort of the nights rest. Blankets are
easily carried and pack well. Take
plenty of bedding, as nights in the
mountains even in midsummer are
usually cool.
