High Speed Motors Slow.

Much misunderstanding appears to
exist regarding the meaning of high
speed motors and the opinion seems
to prevail among many that an en-
CINE that turns up to 1900 revolu-
tons or more per minute must make
a fast car. 1t is true that racing
motors In current practice are of the
high speed type, but in production
jobs many cars with high speed mo.
tors are comparatively slow.
The lighter the motor, as a general
rule, the higher speed it can DO built
to attain. Centrifugal force In
heavier motor tends to tear II apart
at lower engine speed, But low
speed motors can be mounted in cars
that have a higher gear ratio, and
because such motors are more pow
erful at the same crankshaft speeds
cars equipped with them can attain
so or more without difficulty. High
speed engines in popular" priced pro-
duction jobs are, as a general rule.

War On Against Covers.

There is determined effort on the
part of experienced mechanics to dis
courage the use of covers OF all
kinds. Most owners have come to
appreciate that it is not good to cover
a new tire unless such a. covering Is
taken off after rain storms to allow
the rubber to dry thoroughly. Many
others are discovering that while
spring covers keep dirt out, they also
keep rust and dirt in and are less
than 25 per cent efficient as lubr1-
Gators of spring leaves. Now the re-
pairers are condemning the boots
that are intended to protect other
wise exposed universal joints. The
argument Is that since univcrsais
must throw grease through centri-
fugal action such grease accumulates
inside the cover and causes IL to
belly" Soon the cover Is a rotating
weight that tends to unbalance the
propeller shaft.

make for power, but only when the
engine Is warmed up. Since most
engines are hot when they reach the
real struggle on hills, excess tappet
clearance IS proper for engines of such
construction. Where valves are de-
signed to compensate for their own
expansion, however, noise may be a
real loss of power.
The danger lies in applying the
horsepower theory to the wrong
engine. to the wrong conditions, or by
OVERRIDING the idea. If valves do not
lift fully, they will not let in enough
gas nor exhaust burned gases quickly
enough. This means power loss.
Some drivers do most of their hill
climbing when their car engines are
cold. The less tappet clearance the
better under such circumstances.

a large part of the effectiveness in
dealing with individual yiolatnrs is
due to the glare of publicity in which
they find themselves. Any one who
has experienced that conspicuous
feeling one has when policeman
privately tells him what's what, in
the ordinary tone of voice, can
imagine the sensation of having the
caution car travel alongside his car

that all other drivers and pedestrians
in the block may hear and enjoy.

a friendly, helpful manner. Sergt.
Rounds, in fact, has a style perfect

I'VE do not seek to emhaTTass vio-

and drivers are warned of violations
they have committed and are shown
how TO cooperate in an effort TO
speed up traffic safely. Usually the
work of the caution car is educa-
tional; only in fragrant cases do we
take disciplinary action"
Some of the safety homilies deliv-

CAUTION CAR AIDS
|, DETROIT TRAFFIC
Loud Speakers Give Drivers
and Pedestrians Startling
/ Publicity for Errors.

Even the most phlegnatic moto.fst
can lose his temper when the traffic

the motorist has upset all precedent

Ing apparatus that involves the best

The loud-speaking apparatus is
mounted on a sedan, a type of q. car

the three loud-speaker horns on the

Ease the Parking Problem.

No motorist can expect to have
traffic ordinances changed at a mo-
ment's notice to provide him a longer
parking time, but he can increase
the actual time for his needs by
hurrying the process of parking the
car and locking 1t up. The nearer
he can get to his destination the
more actual time he will have for his
errand. Much of the business of
closing windows and locking doors
can be done before the car Is parked.
