the way engineers are meeting the
new ''troublesp
Steel bodies on cars are a direct
result Of the demand for cars that
will endure accidents.
They have been widely heralded
as solving the problem Of turning
over with minimum of danger.
''Side'' bumpers in the form of steel
running boards have been developed
as means Of making the slde-swipe
less dangerous.
Meeting these modern problems is
becoming quite problem In itself.
The motorist is making some almost
| impossible demands Upon his car,
and that means making great de-
mands upon tho manufactures.
Because modern cars are driven
through puddles at high speed
brakes have had to be enclosed. Be.
cause motorists want power at low
as well as at high speed, engines
have had to be redesigned at great
cost.
Because the motorist wanted bal
loon tire comfort minus the shimmy
Of the front wheels, the engineers
were forced to change the front
springs, balance the wheels and give
renewed attention to the steering
layout.
Aluminium alloy pistons were
brought in to help meet the demand
for greater acceleration. They were
light and contributed much to the
pickup of the car They had their
| limitations, but the motorist de-
manded them and now ne has them
minus the limitations.
This has been done in several
ways. Better metallurgy. of course,
has played an important role. But
possibly the addition of equipment
Is the most interesting change.
With aluminium pistons there Is
a greater factor of expansion and
contraction with q tendency for
them to be a. little loose when very
cold.
This situation affects the lubrica-
ton II it is not properly handled.
1t is obvious that IL car stands

whatever oil Is on the cylinder
walls tends to drip back to the
crankcase, leaving the walls dan
gerously dry for a sudden start.
This applies to cast iron az well
as to aluminium pistons. but more
specifically to the latter because
they are likely to be looser when
cold.
why not inject oil into the cylin-
ders and on the walls before start
ing the engine or during the cleo
trical cranlxing process?
That seemed like the answer, but

One might be rushing to catch q

f1urrying to fulfill a business en-
gagenent.
One manufacturer has met this
new problem through the use Of q
special valve which injects oil into

pedal is pressed. The engine can
be run rapidly Immediately upon
starting without risk of scoring or
scuffing the cylinders.
No matter what the problem IS.

The sale Of Oldsmobiles during

The February increase alone
was 80 per cent over last years

The gains by Oldsmobile this

they are increases over 1925,

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
AN IMPROVEMENT
By JAN

CThe head hunters have given up
head hunting for footbalD.
It's not the trophies of pursuit
For which we battle one another,
It's not for sordid love of loot
That man makes war upon his
brother.
He fights, not for noble cause
But for the shouting of the bleachers.
What most he Graves is the applause
OF his admiring fellow creatures.
The simple Sulu, it is said,
Was seldom very much enraptured
BY merely cutting off the head M
OF other tribesmen that he captured.
And being of an open mind,
When he was told decapitation
Was somewhat coarse and unrefined-
He banned it from the Sulu nation.
For when a warrior caught in strife
To some dark hidden spot was led
off,
Where someone with big sharp knife
In one swift movement cut his head
off;
There were no crowds, there was no
band,
No leaping lads the cheers were
leading
Not twenty people were on hand
AS witnesses to the proceeding.
But when the once wild Sulu came
To walk amid the paths of knowl-
edge,
And learned the glory of the game
Which gives distinction to college
When scattering players left and right
He hears the gallery acclaim him,
And loudly shout, GO in and fight!"
He's glad the white man came to
tame him.
