The countershaft drive gear OF the
conventional transmission always is
In mesh with the clutch. or main
shaft, drive gear. But in direct drivS
(high gear), the countershaft drive
gear plays no nart In transmitting
power. Why, then, should II and the
countershaft gears controlled by 1t
continue To revolver
Here's the answer. The counter
shaft gears are in the bottom Of the
transmission case and as such are

Buying Automobiles on
Time Is Favored Plan?

There is a great deal TO be said for
and against the policy Of buying auto
mobiles on time, but recently there
has been a tendency to forget that
there always are two sides to a story.
Even the manufacturers have ever
looked this. One Of them, for in
stance, believes that the deferred pay
ment plan enables more people to buy
cars Of the better class that last long
er and give greater real economy. No
one denies this. Yet mt the same
time it IS well TO see the other side
Of the deferred payment plan. Here
one finds millions OF persons buying
cheap cars every year, forgetting all
about the matter OF economy in long
car life just because II is so easy to
buy cars nowadays.

Buying of Automobiles
Is Now a Family Affair

II any one we're 70 place his finger
on the more important items In motor
car construction at the present time
the fact that the purchase Of automo-
bifes is now family affair would
stand out as one OF the most distinct.
II has only been within the last few
years that this development has come
about, for II can be readily remem-
beFed how, only short time ago, the
men II the family were the only ones
considered capable Of operating an au-
tOmObile. Nowadays the situation Is
entirely different; probably no one en-
JOYS driving a car more than the WON
en- Of the family.
When all things are taken into &C
count, the drift seems 10 be toward
the light car to fill the requirements
OF family use.
And with this characteristic come
the developments in comfort that
light weight makes possible. II IS just
being generally appreciated. how I'M
portaDt Il Is to make car light In
It's inspiring parts, like the axles, so
that the pounding effect Of this weight
upon the road is minimized. The old
theory that weight is essential to rid
ing ease has been exploded, and the
true principle. which considers the
proper relation of weight above and
below the springs, has taken its place.
Designers have also found how much
easier the spring action OF the light
car can be, because Of the ability to
make the springs more sensitive. The
handling qualities OF a car are also
closely related to light weight so that
the light car IS easy 10 guide and Is
responsive to braking effort.

SPARK PLUG CARE
FOUND ESSENTIAL
Bureau of Mines Devotes
Film to It's Importance
to Automobile.

Uncle Sam has become vitality In
teFested In the conservation of gas
oIine and has begun an educational
program which is TO embrace the en-
tire-r range Of gas-savfng ideas. II
the spark plug the bureau Of mines
has devoted photoplay called. THE
Story OF a Spark Plug"
A hot intense spark means econ
omy.
A hot, intense spark means
power
A hot. intense sparks means a live
engine.
When spark plug loses Intensity
because Of the great stress to which
II Is subjected In engine operation, it
fails TO give complete combustion Of
gas in the cylinder. These things
then happen:
Spark Plugs Need Watching.
Power is lost.
The engine is sluggish.
Gasoline and oil are wasted.
The engine brought daily nearer to
expensive overhauling and conse-
quent loss OF use of car.
The lesson TO be learned is:
Watch your spark plugs" They are
vital to good car service. The best
engine in the best motor car I'm the
world is no better than It's spark
plugs. II IS a real economy to in
spect spark plugs frequently and to
replace them just as soon as they
Show signs Of weak spark-genersl-
~ somewhere between 5000 and TO-
600 miles.
Most car owners have little real
conception of just how their engine
operates. II is a widespread belief
that a series Of explosions, taking
place In each cylinder, makes the en-
CINE run.
What Really Happens.
This is not true. What really hap
pens IS:
l. As the engine turns over, gas
oline passes through the carburetor,
where air is mixed with II, the MIX
ture entering the cylinder in the form
OF highly infammable gas.
? The valves close and the piston
moves upward, COMPRISING this gas
eous mixture.
3. At certain point In the oper-
alton the compressed mixture is ig-
nited by a spark leaping across the
gap between the electrodes Of the
spark plug.
4. The gas burns with extreme
rapidity, and in burning expands,
forcing down the piston and thus gem
Grating power.
When your engine does all these
things in full vigor, l. e., with a hot,
spark, you're getting economy
and power. When there is poor or
incomplete combustion there is waste
In power. gas and oil.

Because there is little or no seal
