noise in the rear of the car that
had him worried. When I got back
my mechanic had the rear end of
the car lacked up and was making
steady progress in takin' 1t apart.
This was unfortunate for ell of us
because the noise didn't have any,
thin to do with any vital part Of the
car. 1t was just case of slappin'
straps on the devices that control
the rebound action Of the springs.

my helpers. They make the same
sort of mistakes as the car owners.
I'm still thinkin' of the mess we
got into because one of my men
thought bearing retainer on a rear
wheel unscrewed to the right in
stead of to the left. He tried turin
it to the left but found 1t too tight
to bulge. Then he concluded he
was up against a left-hand thread.
BY the time 1 got around to him he
had pounded the part SO far to the
right that we coundn't get 1t out
except with an oxygen torch.
When he found he couldn't move
1t either way, easily, he should have
waited until he found out exactly
what kind of thread 1t had. 1t
would have saved a lot Of money

Why the Quick Shift
In Eur0nean Tastes?

Detroit. May 2S.-If you are one OF
those who keep a systematic record
of revolutions in Europe. don't over
look the fact that one of the great
est has occurred in the European
taste in automobiles. Not so long
ago, open cars were the only style In
great demand Now the opposite
holds true, as export figures show.
For example, closed cars made up 20
per cent of the Paige Detroit Motor
Car Company's exports for May,
which We're more than two-and "a
half times as great as in May last
year.
Why the shift? Did the European
motorist suddenly find that open air
and sunlight, which he had SO in
sistently demanded were endangering
his health? Or, as a fact, was his
preference for the open car due to
it's lower purchase price?
AS an aid in forming your own an
swer to these queries, note that the
Europeans who had always declined
ito be cooped up in glass car like
a mummy case" quickly discovered
compromising advantages in the
sedan type of car as soon as Amer
lean manufacturers offered them for
sale at the same price as closed cars,
or even lower priced.
OF course, price may have had
had nothing to do with the changed
taste. The gradual shift of the Gulf
Stream may at last have made Eu-
ropes climate unsuitable for open
cars; or possibly the motorists over
there find closed cars safer in case
of general STRIDES, revolutionary
coups, OF May Day festivities.

Pontiac Makes
Another Record

Again, within a period of 80 days.
a strictly stock Pontiac six coach
entered the Pacific coast hall of fame
for speed and endurance records
when it covered the 993 miles dis
lance from Ell Paso, Texas, to Los
Angeles in Fl hours and 18 minutes
for an average of 1851 miles per
hour.
This run not only clipped five hours
and so minutes off the previous rec
ord made by an open car, but beat
the fast Golden State limited train
by two hours and two minutes. The
Pontiac six exceeded the fastest time
ever made between two points except
by airplane.
Less than month ago a Pontiac
six broke the motor car time record
from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, n.
NJ. and established new round trip
record. Both runs were put on by

Did You Know That

After a rain, the spare tire cover
should be removed and the tire al
lowed to dry?
When an extra battery is used to
combine with the weakened one of
the car, to crank the engine, the
two should be connected in parallel?
This increases amperage without
increasing voltage. A six-volt cir
cult should not have more than six
volts. Each cell rates two volts.
The rear brakes of a car do not
get waterlogged as quickly as the
front ones? The reason is because
the front wheels go through the
puddles first and empty them of
their water

Cars Don't Make the Man

Cars Don't Make the Man
Clothes and cars are much alike
In one respect at least. Both often
proclaim the man, but neither nee
essarily makes him.
A good driver is an even better
driver at the wheel of a good car.
and generall.' is handicapped with a
poor machine.
But a poor driver cannot cover
his faults even with a good car.
As matter of fact, the fellow
who slams through the gears with
an old car is likely to pass I'M
noticed, whereas the same man do
ing the same sort of trick at the
wheel of an attractive car is apt
to bring forth adverse criticism.
Quite a few undesirable drivers
seem to feel that a smart car will
be a valuable cloak. But that Is
expecting too much of any automo-
bile.
Drivers must make themselves,
land not rely upon the car to do the
Ijob.
The better the car the more glar-
ling in contrast Is the driver II he
does not match 1t in refinement,
calibre, taste and Judgment. When
some drivers go from one make OF
car to another they forget to i'm
prove themselves in keeping with
their new surroundings. They are
apt to feel that the car will hide
their shortcomings.
This is one of the biggest human
shortcomings in motordom, and 1t
plays an important role in retarding
that progress which aims to I'M
prove motoring by putting improved
drivers at the wheels of improved
cars.

Dealers Good Buyers

Among the many factors operat-
ing to increase annual production
and sale of cars Is the demand from
automobile dealers. Selling cars
has always looked like a lucrative
business to the uninitiated. so every
new make or model finds a large
dealer demand. One dealer who is
now out of business has six cars
in the family. Not a bad customer
for the industry.

Choose Your Own Rain

Keeping car clean even in rainy
weather is far less of a problem to
the man who uses little judgment
under such conditions. One of the
best tricks is to keep at least fifteen
feet behind the car ahead at all
times, This avoids the wheel spray
from the tires of the car ahead.

quite different from water that is

Modernjze Your Car

Here Is an engine alteration which
can be made on almost any car at
very little expense, and one which
brings the engine down to date in
such q way as to match the latest
ideas in engine design:
Remove the carburetor heater
tube, or "hot stove from the ex-
haust pipe. Cut hole in the valve
cover plate. Insert the end of the
heater tube in the hole of the cover
plate.
The purpose Of this alteration is
TO provide the engine with damp, or
oily air, so that the effect of night
driving can be had at all times
while the engine Is operating.
Several accessories are now offered
for this purpose, but the same eff
feet can be achieved by this simple
change in the arrangement Of the
heater pipe.
