1t must be an unquestioned fact
and is so recognized by most careful
observers not only in this country but
abroad, where there is continual agi-
tation among the well-informed for at
least partial adoption of highly sue

deavor this Nation can trace not an

hitherto unprecedented heights in

Like Military Units.
The process of organizing national
economic life bears striking resem-
blance, in some respects at least, to
military organization in that, gener-
ally speaking, the best trained, best
disciplined. most compact and most
orderly unit is the most successful.
Organization always has been the
touchstone of firm, sound success; it's

Preached it's greatest development in

OF all industrial lines, the auto
motive must be singled out as one
where organization has played a pre-
eminently important role in its ad

MECHANICAL RUBBER
DEVICES TO BE TESTED
Society Members Organized to
Probe Shock-Absorbing Mate
rials on Autos.

Valuable information regarding
methods of testing mechanical rubber
devices for absorbing shock and vibra-
ton in motor vesicles is expected to
be developed by committee recently
organized and composed of members
Of the Society of Automotive Engineers
and the American Society for Testing
Materials.
Organization of this committee
comes as a result of numerous in
quiries received by the Society of
Automotive Engineers regarding the
results of tests for determining the
life and other qualities of mechanical
rubber parts such as engine blocks.
universal joints. spring-shackles blocks
and door shock pads. AS no such
tests had been developed, the matter
was taken up with the American
Society for Testing Materials and the
committee was formed.

Motor Tourist Selects Busiest Street
As Parking Place When He Goes to Sleep

in the suburbs? He did not. He Sc
lected the most travelled thoroughfare
in town and parked right in the mid
die of things. He knew that if he
parked in an out-of-the-way place
some curious person would come along
and disturb him. perhaps thinking him
dead. Where there were many per-
sons going about their business he
knew he would remain undisturbed.
On this same street a stolen and
abandoned car remained for three
days and nights before anybody took
any notice of it. The moral is plain.

KEEP REAR GLASS CLEAN,
Back Window Next in Importance
Il
to Windshield.

Next to the clear windshield in
facilitating driving is the clean rear
window, in both open and closed cars.
Many of the shadows that dance dia-
bolically in front of the driver at
night are caused by streaks of dirt
on this window when the lights Of
the car behind outline them on the
windshield. In addition, the dirty
window cuts down the efficiency Of
the rear-view mirror both in day and
night driving. The glass at this
point catches great amount of dust
and wiping it off regularly will prove
a most satisfactory procedure.

ENGINE "KNOCKS" PUZZLE
AUTOMOBILE EXPERTS
Explosion of Unstable Peroxides Is
Latest Theory to Be Ad-
vanced as Cause.

Science has found several effective
ways of meeting KNOCK" or, more
technically, detonation, in the automo-
bile engine, but there is stY1l no gen.
eral agreement as to what it is. The
latest theory, provided by British ply
sicists, is that knock is caused by the
explosion of unstable peroxides formed
in the charge within the cylinder.
The United States Bureau of Stand
ards, which has been working for
years on the subject of detonation. has
not yet accepted this or any of the
other theories advanced on the sub
ject.
While on the subject of detonation.
it is interesting to note that in spite
of the remarkable progress of science
during the last decade, the only way
of determining the anti-knock value of
any motor fuel is by testing it in an
engine.

shaft. This operates the cam shaft
gear, which Is twice it's size. The lat

shaft gear, to which is attached in
many makes Of cars the distributor,
water pump and generator. Suppose,
however, that the design of the en-
gine was not quite so compact and
the water pump or accessory shaft
had to be placed in a somewhat diff
ferent position. In that case an idler
gear is made to operate from the
crankshaft gear, the former, in turn,
operating the cam shaft and water
pump gears. In this case there Is a

If any motorist is planning to drive
all night and go to sleep in his car
without the trouble of looking for a
camping spot, the method employed
by one tourist may be of interest.
The motorist in question had gone
quite a distance during the night and
had come to the conclusion that a few
winks would not be very serious
loss in his race against time. 1t is
interesting to note the psychology he
used when picking his highway hotel.
Did he turn down a side road or
off into one of those quiet side streets

Muffler Needs Cleaning.

Any mysterious loss of power in a
car should suggest the possibility that
the muff1er is clogged. An efficient
muffler will not get clogged over a
reasonable period of time, but If
stoppage with carbon does occur, it
can be cleaned out. A clogged ex.
haust may. under some circumstances
exert so much back pressure on an
engine as to keep the speed down to
fifteen miles an hour or even less.

When Horn Changes It's Tone.

Many motorists forget that changes
in the tone Of the horn often are due
to outside sources, such as a dis
charged battery, loose terminals, in
the horn circuit, lack Of fabrication or
loose diaphragm or mounting screws.
These various causes for change in
the sound of the horn should be
looked into before any attempt is made
to improve tone by the adjustment
provided for this purpose.

TIGHTEN THE TOE BOARD
Remedy for Noises Caused by Loose
Flooring in Cars.

On some Of the popular priced cars
the floorboards and toeboards are not
fastened. The result after relatively
short usage is noise. The owner who
wants to get rid of this annoyance will
find it simple to tighten down the
toeboard with screws. Since this sci.
dom is removed for any purpose, the
addition of the screws will serve only
a good end. It is not difficult to hinge
the part Of the floorboard that covers
the battery, which provides a ready
means Of adding water to it without
the necessity Of raising the board
every time.

NEW PLANE STARTER
Inventor of High Pressure Device
to Exhibit to Navy Air
Officers Today.

A demonstration of a new type OF
airplane engine starter, on the nigh
pressure injection principle, Will ne
given this afternoon at the Naval Air
Station, Anacostia, D. c., before Lieut.,
Comdr. Homer c. Wick,( commanding
the station, and other nhval aeronau-

The starter is said to be the latest
invader in the rapidly growing aces
sorry field, which is seeking to elm
mate the labor and certain amount
of hazard incident to swinging a
propeller" The starters prime OBJ
iect, however, is to eliminate delay
and make it possible for a single air
man to start his engine without as
slstance. which is necessary In planes
not so equipped.
BY pressing button on the dash
board a minute quantity of pure
compressed air is released and turns
the engine over to firing position.
Simultaneous with reaching this po-
sition, a properly carburated mixture
of gasoline, atomized at $50 pounds
pressure, is forced into the cylinders
in cyclic order, and the engine starts.
The starter, for the demonstration
purposes, Is mounted on Curtiss
