biggest results are obtained with the
least alteration in the adjustment.
Evidently with the idling mixture a
little too rich there was an excessively

where the high speed jet came into

Common Sense Is Needed.
Il know one car owner who has
overcome carburetor fright to a point
where before starting the car in the
morning he raises the hood and gives
the high speed adjustment a twist
toward the rich side. That insures
him a good start with less resorting
to the choke. Then when the engine
has warmed up sufficiently he steps
out and sets the adjustment back 10
normal again. He avoids mistakes by
counting the number of notches
turned.
II would not recommend this i'm the
case of Carburetor where there is an
adjustment needle valve, which sug-
gests the Importance of making your
rules fit your car. Such a process
would result in unnecessary wear on
the valve. Constant readjustment of
air valves, however, seems to carry
no penalties if the work is done in.

Any motorist who is so afraid of his
carburetor that he refuses to study it

That is bad business. Sometimes, in

Purdue University Experiment Sta.
ton Anticipates Depletion of
American Gasoline Supply.

Acting on the oft-repeated state
ment that the American gasoline sup
ply would be seriously depleted within
from 10 to 25 years il consumption
continues at the present rate, a series
of experiments are being carried on
by the Purdue University engineering
experiment station regarding the
carburetion of heavier fuels. These
experiments are bling conducted with
kerosene and other fuels and the data
are being carefully filed for future
reference.
Results of the experiments have
been published in a bulletin issued by
the engineering experiment station.
This publication presents data on the
carburetion of kerosene and provides
additional information concerning the
effect of fuel volatility on the carbure-
ton problem. It's purpose also is to
show how an engine operating on
kerosene reacts to variations in the
strength and temperature of the mix
ture, to point out the optimum tenn
perature for satisfactory performance
and to specify the correct mixture
ratios for economy and power.
The bulletin has been noted with
interest by automotive men generally
and also by fuel companies of the
country, which are vitality interested

HACKSAW is USEFUL.

For the car owner who does his own
repairing, hacksaw is an almost in

size is to be preferred. The motorist
who adds such tool to his kit wfll
find it cheaper and more convenient
to buy blades by the dozen. Unless one

blade breakage usually runs rather
high. If one does not want to buy
blades with both fine and coarse

Carburetor Fright.

Don't touch that" Smith cautioned
as / was about to make an adjustment
to his car in an effort to make it run
better. That's the carburetor!'
It's the usual attitude toward car
buretors. Most car owners have what
might be called "carburetor fright"
and it's unfortunate because it means
that many good opportunities to inn
prove the running of the engine are
overlooked.
Your carburetor is a comparatively
simple thing" reminded MIN.
Manufacturers started to warn Car
owners not to monkey with it because
the device is so handy and the ad-
iustments so simple they know most
people would abuse the convenience.
The timing of an engine is mucn
more complicated process, but no
warnings have been found necessary
in that case for the very obvious rea.
son that but few car owners get into
such deep work. If for any reason
they do, the chances are that they
know what they are doing and won't
make obvious mistakes.

variety of experiments which. like as
not, lead to trouble. So the manu-
facturers say Hands off"
Must Know CarburetOr.
"It's a different story when you
know what you're doing and keep en-
phatically in mind that carburetor is
a delicate instrument so far as results
go. There is. however. little that'you
can do to it to harm it. It's fairly
strong in the sense of endurance. You
can get it all out of whack so far as
results go and still be able to make
it as good as new in less time than it
takes to tell it,
Looks like carburetor is no better
than the man who monkeys with it,"
Smith commented. And that was pre-
cisely the situation.

AUTO SALESMEN'S

Dealers Responses Show
Need for Newly Organized
National Association.

Favorable and emphatic response
60 the newly formed National Auto
5 motive Salesmen's Association is re-
ported at national headquarters of the
organization here.
Every part of the country and
dealers in metropolitan centers as well
as in small communities are repre-
scented in the flood of letters and tele-
grams received, it is said. According
to officers, these communications eX.

operation between the retail distribu-
tors and the statesmen, through the
National Automotive Salesmen's Asso-
citation, not only is feasible but great
~ to be desired as a constructive step
forward for the industry as a whole.
Need Shown by Messages.
In the opinion of Eugene Ochsen-
Tciter, president of the association and
member of the sales department of
the Semmes Motor Co, local Dodge
distributors, the number of spontan-
eous communications received indi-
Gates the vital need which has existed
for a national automotive salesmen's
association which would work in close
harmony with the dealers everywhere.
Before we actually organized the
National Automotive Salesmen's AS
ISOLATION" Mr.. Ochsenreiter says,
1--WE felt that there was definite
place in the automotive scheme of
things which would do for the sales
men what the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce has done for
the manufacturers; the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association for the
dealers; and the American Automobile
Association for motorists. We be-
lieved that the dealers of the coun-
try would welcome a group which
would labor with them to raise the
level of craftsmanship so that all
dealer, salesman, industry and pur-
chaser-might benefit.
Now that the test of our belief has
come, we are proud and happy to sax
that we were correct. In fact. we
were more correct than at first we al
lowed ourselves to think would be

Sees Approval of Aims.
Mr.. Ochsenreiter points out that
the country's dealers, as well as
others. have given substantial and
whole-hearted proof of their conf
dence in the thought underlying the
organization of the n. A. S. A.
They have signified their very gen.
eral conclusion" he asserts. that the
organization is entering a field where
great service and constructive work
Is possible, and that our basic aims
are such as to warrant sincere

carburetor l had warmed UP the en-
| CINE by running 1t awhile. This
always is advisable. Not that it is
| impossible to make an adjustment
when the engine is cold or stock still,
but simply that If one goes wrong in
adjusting while the engine is hot it is
far easier to correct the mistake.
IL the engine is cold, there is the
| problem of getting it started and
warming it up if the carburetor mix
ture is wrong. Choking further COM
plicates the situation. All in all. the
owner may make a bad muddle of it
and perhaps set fire to the car If the
carburetor floods with gas and there

| When the engine is hot it will run
on an excessively rich mixture and
| also on an excessively lean one. This
helps because it obviates constant

Adjustments Are Simple.
''The big trouble with your present
adjustment is that there isn't
smooth blend between the idling and
the high speed mixture" / explained
to him. This gives you that notice
able break in the performance of the
engine at car speeds between Is and
20 miles an hour, sometimes in a
slightly lower range and sometimes in
slightly higher one. Your car may
idle we'll enough and when you are
travelling at normal speeds it may
have both power and gas economy,
but still it isn't right
The first thing to do is to try lean
ing out the idling mixture This
usually is too rich. So long as the
engine doesn't stall we are safe IN
going pretty near the limit And
there should be steady hiss through
the carburetor as the engine idles."
This merely was matter of turn
ing the idling screw control to the
left as the instruction book indicated.
Then we jumped into the car and
tried it out. / reminded him that an
actual trial should follow every detail

WATCH EXHAUST VALVES.
Excessive Heating Causes Them to
Wear Out Quickly.

When there is evidence of valve
trouble. the motor car owner should
know that the exhaust valves are to be
suspected first. They suffer more wear
than the intake valves because they
operate al very high temperature.
This excessive heating reduces their
ability to withstand the effects of
pounding as well as causing pitting.
1t may be that these valves will be
found to be warped as a result of
this constant heating, but in these
days of better valves little of this
trouble is to be expected.

factor that is most important in

cylinder cars offers a rear seat that

fore. This gain in seating space is
| achieved by extending the body out
over the rear wheels. the practice in
dulged in by all car makers who seek
to make their products more com
Portable.
Seats Made Adjustable.
Adiustablity of the front seat, a
feature offered by several motor car
makers last Winter, has been increas-
ingly adopted, and with telling effect
in the case of one of the largest pas
senger cars on the market, which just
recently has gone to this important
change. This car, one of the three
largest passenger cars on the market,
now may be driven by the largest
man or the smallest woman without
discomfort or difficulty on the part of
either.
The two-toned interior has arrived,
following by about two years the APP
pearance of this style of finish on the
cars exterior. The use of subdued,
harmoniZing shades gives an espe-
cially appealing and rich warmth to
the interior of several of the new
models
One of the most important develop
ments in connection with the new
models is that relating to springs.
After years of relative dormancy,
springs have taken the center of
the laboratory. Every manufacturer
seems to have come to the conclusion
that something had to be done with
these very vital appurtenances to car
comfort, and as a result one finds new
materials being used in springs
longer, wider and more leaves being
used in some cases and fewer leaves
in the front springs of other cars, diff
ferent degrees of arc, important and
interesting new ideas in shackling
and suspending.
'Dry-Leaf" Spring Is Here.
AT least one manufacturer is making
vivid claims for type of spring that
will catch every ones imagination.
The spring in question is the dry
leaf type Its producer declares it
never will call out the oil or grease
gun, because the composition of the
metal used assures the exact amount
of resiliency during the entire life of
the car Who cannot see the end of
the bitter and perennial controversy
over the wisdom of oiling the spring
leaves If this new type proves sue
cessful?
Another development that is inter-
esting in this connection is the ball
bearing shackle, which is declared to
be above the need for lubricant during
the life of the car. Rubber shackles
also have been improved and adopted
by still other manufacturers as an ex.
preston of what is going on in this
sphere of motor car improvement
And speaking of springs, even the
springs of the seat cushions have been
