Every car owners got some sort OF
car trouble. 1t may be anythin'

somethin' that has tstumped the best

er won't spill his woes, but if you
nose around automatically you can
find out what it's all about. And
then both begin to profit.
I'm not goin' to harp on that
old business about KNOWN the faults
of the other automobiles SOS you
can avoid them when you go into
the market for a new machine. That's
all right, but I'm thinkin' of a newer
angle. Maybe these ailments with

FOURTH OF GASOLINE
IS USED FOR GETAWAY
Most Motor Fuel Used in Quick
Pickup, University Experts
Tests Disclose.

More than one-fourth of the gaso.
line which the motorist buys is used
to obtain a quick getaway, according
to Prof. A. c. Willard Of the Univer-
sity Of Illinois.
In the average automobile, Prof.
Willard declares, the maximum power
is realized when the carburetor is set
to mix 12 pounds of air with / of
gasoline. This, however, is not the
most economical mixture, as there is
not enough air I'd burn all the gaso.
line. The most economical mixture,
he says, the one in which all the
gasoline is consumed, is when IL
pounds Of air are mixed with / of
gasoline.
Den1a nding pep" rather than eco.
nomical operation, the motorist sets
his carburetor to give the ''one-twelve''
mixture, even though in SO doing he
sacrifices 25'per cent of the heat value

GUARD TIMING CHAIN.
One Riding Loose Subjected to In.
termittent Strain,

Many motor car owners are content
to ignore the timing chain so long
AS II is not so loose as to be noisy.
This practice is not wise The chain
that is loose is submitted to intermit-
tent strains as the slack is caught up
from time to time on the sprockets.
While these strains may not cause
trouble Immediately, in the long run
they frequently result in chain break.
age. On the other hand, the chain
should not be made too tight. for this
will mean excessive wear both on the
chain and the bearing.

MOTOR AS HEALTH PROMOTER
is GAINING IN POPULARITY
Brief Daily Rides in Automobile Regarded
as Most Effective Stimulant to the
Active Business Man.

establishment in some lines of the
five-day week will considerably add
to this amount of time which may
be spent in recreation.
That the person who neglects daily
ride in his car unwittingly is handi-
Gaping himself in his quest for or in
the maintenance of his health is GER
tain. The wise business man and car
owner, for instance, makes his rides
part of his business, looking upon
them as not SO much time wasted, but
rather as an investment in himself,
in increasing his ability to do more
work better.
Car Owner Should Know Routes.
Every car owner should know the
district around his home city so well
that he can drive to almost any spot
with the least possible delay. The
easiest means to acquire this knoWl-
edge is by directing his daily ride each
time to different direction, and in
this way he will become acquainted
with newer and less-traveled routes.
The type. of ride should vary with
the temperament of the driver. Some
times he wants a peaceful, restful
drive. while at others he may be in
search of an appetite. Should he want
q smooth drive. he should choose some
easy" boulevard where there will be
little hill climbing and where he will
not be bothered with noisy traffic.
Should he desire a ride to stimulate
his appetite, nothing will serve better
than a brisk spin over some country
road. 1t must be invigoratings with
the fresh air striking him full, and
with a few steep hills to add zest to
the excursion.
Should the car owner desire a drive
before retiring, a jaunt in the park
will be most conducive to settling the
nerves after the days toll. The soft
lights of the city. with myriads Of re-
Elections. and the smooth, even roads
will evoke feeling of rest and con-
tentment.
Many Do Not Know How.
Many persons assert that they have
no time for recreational driving, but
in not few instances this will be
found to be merely an admission that
they do not know how to coordinate
and plot their daily lives so that every
