STEEL ALLOYS CHANGE

Requirements of Auto Industry

mands for New Models.

Although few revolutionary changes

rous metals, due to the increased use
OF automobiles and the development
OF aircraft, steel alloys have under
gone marked changes, according to
recent reports by the Bureau of Stand

alloys and improved methods of heat
treatment have had 60 be developed
In bringing about these improved
methods and the necessary changes,
chemical and metallurgical research
have played an important part. Some
Of the improvements are the develop

PUZZLE IN PUNCTURES.
Reason Given Why Rear Tires
0ftenest Suffer Damage.

The fact that the rear tires are
punctured oftener than the forward
ones often has puzzled motorists. An
explanation of this phenomenon re-
Gently was found when a tire test car
was run over large piece of an auto.
mobile spring. AS the front tire ran
over the metal it left it balanced in
such position as to receive the full
driving force of the rear wheel. The
spring was driven through the tire
and the steel rim of the wheel down
to the hub of the wheel.
This explanation also accounts for
the reason that the rear tires will
pick up nails and other objects over
which the front tires have run and
which they have left in a position
easily to be picked up.

BUSHINGS STOP KNOCK.
Noise Is Frequently Caused by
Wearing of Universal Joint.

The noise created by wear in the
universal joint is one of the most
annoying with which the motorist has
to deal. While adjustment is provided
in some cases, the usual remedy is the
insertion of new bushings for the
trunion pins. 1t is a matter that in
deserving of attention when it first
comes TO ones notice. Don't expect
the universal joints to so on forever.
They are among the hardest working
units of the automobile.

begin TO see that excess fabrication
is quite as much of a trouble maker
as no fabrication at all. The cam OF
the breaker is good illustration.
Sometimes at high speed the engine
fabrication will be sufficiently great
to cause oil to work up the distributor
shaft into the breaker compartment.
OIL may get on the points and cause
missing.
On the other hand, if there is no
fabrication on the cam at all. there

tend with throughout the entire trip.

not doing its hest he is not likely to
take time to stop off for a consulta-
ton with roadside mechanics. He
takes it as necessary evil.
This is unfortunate, because the
evil can usually be eliminated before
the start. Take the brakes. for in
stance. A high percentage of cars
fall down on hills simply because the
brakes are too tight. The driver
holds his foot on the brake pedal all

results in drag. 1t requires only the

for the test, since one can stop the

lack of proper clearance. II the car
has no propeller shaft brake, and the
emergency would thus heat the rear

select quiet street and coast to

Good performance means proper
cooling of the engine, and 1t is a fore

should inspect the fan bearing and

WARMING INTAKE HELPS.
Tests Show Temperature Change
Improves Acceleration.

Warming the intake manifold will
aid the engines ability to pick up
speed very materially. according to
recent tests conducted by the Bureau
of Standards. The same tests
showed that even a considerable diff.
ference in jacket water temperature
has but slight effect upon car accele-
ration.
The tests were made on a six-cylin.
der 1925 engine. A change in the
jacket water temperature from 212
degrees to 81 degrees appeared to
make but slight difference, while a
change of the temperature of the in
take manifold from 160 degrees to
172 degrees resulted in marked i'm.
provement in acceleration.

Test OF Every Variation In Mixture
Needed in Adj justment of Carburetor

For an accurate adjustment of the
carburetor it Is important to test each
variation in the mixture with the
same load in the car and over the
same course. If the load is varied
or the course for testing changed,
SOME odd mistakes are likely to de-
velOp.
If the load Is decrea sed considerably
the engine might pull so we'll rs, to
suggest leaning out the mixture a
little. Later when the load was in

creased again the engine would lack
the power it displayed during the
test.
The successful careowner recognizes
that power Is relative and that any
engine will labor or perform more or
less in accordance with the load to- be
pulled. Ordinarily in adjusting car
buretors 1t is well to make allowance
for greater load than prevails at
the time OF the test, since the motor
ist is apt to be doing the job by him
self and without passengers in the car.

AUTO CLUB OFFERS
TOURING PROGRAM
California Motorists Place
Facilities at Disposal of
Visitors From All Sections.

Announcement OF touring pro
Washington motorists has just been
made by the Automobile Club of
Southern California. This organiza
ton states that it is prepared to place
its facilities at the disposal OF all
travellers who are planning a trip to
any point in the Pacific Coast country
which is within the large territory
served by the club.
Maps and touring information will
be supplied gratis by the club. An
nouncement OF the program is made
following a 15000-mile highway map
ping and reconnaissance trip by two
officials of it's touring bureau, which
thereby was supplied with comprehen-
sive data regarding road conditions
along the transcontinental routes.
Winter Travel to Bsgin Soon.
The California motoring body has
prepared it's data with the realization
that Winter travel by motor car to
California will begin moving west
ward shortly, and with the belief that
indications for an early Winter will
start it on its way even earlier than
usual.
There are several routes from
Washington to southern California,
but road conditions vary on ALL For
those who desire late information, the
California club states that its touring
bureau will supply, on request, data
on the most advisable route at the
time the request is made.
The service offered will include
maps from the point Of departure to
ones destination and a book of the
automobile camps in California. Full
details, it Is stated. will be given those
writing to the clubs touring bureau.
Much Delay Avoided.
The information that will he made
available is viewed by club officials as
making possible the saving Of delay
and expense, since il will show the
quality of the roadway, bridges and
detours and otherwise aim to expedite
the journey.
In making the announcement D.

says! ''Thiss service is proffefed not

The examinations for Investigators
below the senior grade, those for

nation rooms for written mental tests.
These will be given in approximately

LEAVES AN $4,000
ESTATE TO FRIEND

Kindnesses shown by a friend dur-'
ing his lifetime and throughout his
last illness were generously rewarded
Wednesday morning when the will Of
John l.. Benson, a Gallatin county
Rancher who died here March %, was
read.
By the provisions of the document,
all of Benson's possessions are left
to Carl ("Swede") HOkanson, popular
employee of the Arcade, whom the
dead mar had known for many years
and by whom he was tenderly cared
for while sick at the hospital here.
The estate includes a 320-acre
Canch near Menard, valued at $4,000;
cash to the amount of $1,1OO, and
sufficient personal property to bring
the total to more than $4,000. Mr..
HOkanson is the sole beneficiary. The
will, which was made shortly before
CIR. Benson's death, was drawn by
Attorney Roy M. Keister and wit
messed by him and Edith R. Acker-
man, superintendent of the DeacOness
hospital. E. L. IeideI, cashier of the
Belgrade State bank, was named as
executor.
Mr.. HokansOn many years age
worked FOR Mr.. Benson's uncle, who
EARNED in the Maudlow area, and il
was while there that he met the
Gephew. The friendship thus formed
was continued, and when Mr.. Benson
vas brought to Bozeman late II
March and taken to the Deacones'
hospital, Mr.. HOkanson was constant
IN his endeavors to make the dying
mans last days easier and more
cheerful. Although it was known thai
