The Old Mechanic Says:

I don't mind SEEM owners clean
their cars on the outside, but I do
wish some Of 'em would carry the idea
under the hood, too. I've never seen
clean engine yet that didn't save
money for it's owner.
Dirt on the engine or on any part of
the chassis hides trouble. There was
so much grease and dirt on the steerin'
gear housin' of one car that came in
here I couldn't see 1t was cracked. It
was Just a matter of luck the owner
got as far as he did without havin'
trouble
Greasy engines always increase the
fire. hazard. Where a carburetor and
the engine block are clean as whis-
tie there isn't much for a stray back
fire flame to set afire.
Dirt hides Oil leaks, too. I remem-
Der one crankcase that was so caked
with oily dirt you wouldn't suspect the
engine was losin' quite bit O. oil con-
stantly. One of the crankcase bolts
was missin.' so all the while the en-
CINE operated, oil was leaking out there.
Instead of drippin' straight down to
the ground where the owner could see
it, the oil was absorbed by the dirt
and travelled all over the case until
large wads of dirt and grease fell off
only when he was drivin.'
Pretty soon we're goin' to need en-
CINE cleaners, something clever that
will keep dirt out of the engine COM
partment. In the meantime owners
could save a lot of money by cleanin'
under the hood as well as on top.
There's one little hole on the side of
the carburetor used on many cars

Relieving the rubber situation
by rounding corners on two wheels
isn't SO good.
Looks often Deceiviug

Fifty motor cars trail over the mod
ern highway, each travelling 80 miles
per hour. All have wheels that turn,
engine shafts that revolve and speed
ometers that register travel of 80
miles within the same period Of time.
And yet, odd as 1t may seem to those
who have not considered the matter
before, the engines of some cars travel
much farther than others.
It's all in the gearing and the ac-
tual wheel size. Some cars are geared
high, some low. Some wheels cover
more ground per turn.
Two cars were running side by side
along a wide boulevard. They seemed
to be running exactly alike. Yet under
the hoods it was different story.
Every time the engine of one car re-
volved 100 times the engine Of the
other revolved 65.
A number of cars are geared $40 to
In high" Several are geared low
err than to i. One of them, the
Rolls-Royce, is geared 1926 to 1.
Putting the matter of engine speed
another way, consider the variation in
results If two engines, geared differ
emily, were driven at the same speed.
If the gearing of one was s to l and
the other to / the former would
propel the car to a given point in five
hours. The other car would be there
two hours earlier.
Run the engine of the to / car at
$500 revolutions per minute and the
engine of the other at 1900 land they
will each reach a given point at the
same time.
Actual ratios are always altered by
wheel Size and tire imitation. If the
rear tires are sagging the engine will
have to turn over more revolutions per
mile of travel than 1t would If the
tires were 'up" and the actual wheel
was It's normal size.

movement Of the car should be at the
lowest possible rate.
While it is correct procedure to pull
UP ahead of a parking space and then
back into 1t there are times when 1t is
best to stop right beside the space un-
til traffic behind has passed by. 1t
may be the only way to prevent some
one from stealing the space after one
has started to back into 1t.
A motorist never knows when driv-
ers, front and back. will wedge him
into a parking space, and the fact that
such drivers violate local parking
ordinances does not help matters to
any great extent when he is in hur-
ry to get away. The best safeguard
against this sort of thing is to allow
the regulation space in front and In
back of the car whenever parking. The
chances of having both cars, front and
rear, depart and their spaces substi-
tuted by cars that are driven too
close are relatively slight.

Ordering q Car Wash

When ordering wash upon enter
Ing public garage a little tact will
result in saving one the pangs of a
dull hood. The usual custom is to
stop on the way in and mention the
matter of the wash, whereupon the
garageman orders the car to be driven
right up on the washstand. The
washer goes to work Immediately,
damaging the hood and radiator by
pouring cold water on them while they
are still hot.
Avoid this. Put the car in a space.
Then on the way out, stop, reconsider
and tell the garageman to wash the
car. The order can be put in such a
way to convey the idea that the mat
ter isn't so pressing.
With the car in stall and other
cars coming in for washing the garage
man will be less inclined to rush the
job This gives the hood chance to
cool Off

Safety in Ignition Lock

Lately the opinion has gained Gre
dence that it doesn't help to guard the
car against thieves by using the igni-
ton lock. Several manufacturers have
even gone so far as to eliminate the
ignition lock altogether. Are they
right?
Recently two detectives and a me-
chanic struggled for nearly an hour to
cut out the ignition lock of stolen
car. Two flash lights were provided
to assist the mechanic in manipulate
ing the wires under the dash. Still, he
didn't succeed

therefore efforts are being made to de-
wise methods of breaking up the pud-
dies. One of the most effective ways
of doing this is to tap hole in the
manifold directly under the place
where a puddle exists and then at
tach a short tube in the shape Of an
S. Because the end of the pipe Is
higher than level of the liquid the gas
oline. cannot run out, but the air
sucked in breaks up the puddle and
improves carburetion.

l. The principal objection to the
super-charger is its noise. In order
to create a forced draft through the
intake at top engine speed it must be
geared to run at terrific rate.
2.-Universal joints are used to con-
meet the sections of the drive line"
which are not on straight line from
engine to rear axle in most cars.
8. A brake "shoe" is the actuating
member of an internal expanding
brake. A brake BAND is the ac-
tuating member Of the external con-
tracing type. Each carries brake lin
ing.
4. Aside from quality and use,
brake lining wear is due largely to
brake bands not being concentric with
the drums. The bands get out of round,
causing the lining to wear excessively
at certain points, thus destroying It
prematurely.
8. An exhause pipe steams on a
very cold day shortly after starting
because Of condensation in the pipe.
When the pipe starts to heat again
the water in 1t steams off.

Market Break Won't Seriously Affect
Business of Nation, Mellon Thinks

Reaction in the stock market dur
Ing the past few days was the result
of excessive speculation" in the
opinion of Secretary of Treasury Mel
Ion. who believes, however, that the
setback Of prices on the exchange
will not seriously affect the funda-
mental economic business conditions
Of the country.
Prosperity which has been evident
to Government officials for many
months, Secretary Mellon thinks, will
not be seriously affected throughout
the country by the developments on
the stock market.
In times of prosperity, It was point
ed out on behalf of the Secretary,
when so-called bull markets develop
it has been more usual than not in
the past that setbacks have occurred.
This reaction. however was said to
have been of somewhat larger volume
han the ordinary break IL the market,
Evening star., 1926-03-04

AS a matter of fact, the present
reaction may prove to be a whole
some influence to the markets, ac-
cording to Mr.. Mellon.
Reports that the administration
within the past few weeks had been
somewhat adverse to the market,
such, for instance, as the suits to
prevent a baking merger and deci-
sion by the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the proposed
Nickel Plate merger, were interpreted
by Mr.. Mellon as not having been
primarily responsible for the reaction.
Had prices been going ahead at a
normal rate of increase and without
excessive speculation, he believes,
these recent moves by the Govern
ment would have been ignored by the
Street.
The administration is not worried
over the break In Wall Street, 1t
was plainly evident az the Treasury.
