Achievement of the great stride
toward safety has not been the result

is rather due to the perfection of

Steering is made easier. brakes are
more efficient. acceleration is greater,
power plants never were more re

these improvements will be street and
highway safety from mechanical
standpoint, at least. If there Is pro-

SAYS AUTO INSPECTION
WOULD CUT ACCIDENTS
Council Urges Owners to Have
Cars Gone Over Regularly
for Defects,

Many automobile accidents could be
eliminated If motorists got into the
habit of having their cars inspected
and overhauled regularly, in the
opinion of the National Safety Council,
which points out that a great pro
portion of automobile accidents are
due directly to faulty equipment.
The following rules also should be
carefully adhered to by motorists in
order to cut down the number of un-
necessary accidents:
Brakes should he kept in efficient
condition at all times, and frequent
tests should be made.
Chains should he used during icy
and wet weather.
Number plates should he kept clean.
Motorists should not tolerate noisy
muff1ers.
All cars should be equipped with
bumpers, as they will lessen damage
due to collision.

"PUT ON YOUR CHAINS"
is ADVICE TO AUTOISTS
Some Motorists Called Too Lazy,
While Task Seems Too Hard
for Others.

Once you have bought chains for
your car, use them. That is the adj
vice of Charles E. Hill, vice president
of the National Safety Council. Too
many motorists fail to do so. either
because they are too lazy to put them
on or because the process seems too
difficult, according to Mr.. Hill.
Chains are SO simple to adjust
however, that they can be put on by
children in very. quick time. Some
girl members of the headquarters staff
of the safety institution recently dem
onstrated how comparatively simple
it is to drape the chains over the tire,
so that the hooks just about touch
the ground at the rear: move the car
forward until the connecting hooks
are about foot above the road, con-
meet first the inside and then the
outer hook as tightly as possible by
hand and when the automobile starts
rolling the chains loosen up bit,
which allows them to creep on the
tire -

Smith never had had any occasion
to consider the alignment Of the drive
line OF the car until recently when he
ran into a pile Of trouble as result
Of breaking a spring bolt. Then IT
was that a new chapter in automobile
construction opened IN to him.
The drive line is curiously com.
pick thing in an automobile and the
best way 10 grasp the general idea
of IL is to trace the rotational power
of force of the engine shaft straight
through to the final motion IF the
ear. When the clutch is engaged the
power continues through To the trans
mission. which. when in gear, further
transfers the power to the first half
of the front universal joint. The
second half of the joint carries the
power TO the propeller shaft. thence
it travels through the second univer
sal joint. the pinion and ring gear. the
rear axles and the rear wheels. But
the drive is by no means complete
even when carried that far.
Test Quite Simply Made.
If the wheels just went ahead in
terpreting the power supplied to them
iHet WOuiu nave a teiuStlCN u tollie
forward to meet the front wheels. /
demonstrated the idea to Smith by
placing match box on a sheet of
paper. When | pulled the paper sud.
denly the box remained in its same
position with respect to the table.
Something on this order would tend
to happen to the car il the wheels
suddenly shot forward and If there
was no effective connection between
wheels and frame.
In consequen ,e, it is necessary to
provide for the further transmission
Of power from the rear wheels to the
frame Of the car itself. This process
is known as the drive" and may
take several forms. though there are
only two principles involved. In one
form. the simplest. so far as equip
ment goes. the power is transmitted
from wheels to frame through the
springs. chiefly the mont ends Of the
rear springs. In the other form the
power is transmitted from the rear
axle through a toruue tube, a, brake
or rods to the frame at some point
near the middle of the car.
Now, il the bolt that runs through
the center of the leaves of one of the
rear springs should break. as 1t some
times does. and the spring should shift
its position, this drive arrangement is
badly upset. In the case of drive
through the springs. known as Hotch
kiss drive. exceptional strain may be
placed upon the master leaf of the af-
fected spring. causing 1t to break. in
which case the car is disabled. The
situation is not so bad with the braced
type Of drive because the braces tend
TO maintain the alignment.
Axle Permitted to Move.
In Smiths case. where the drive Is
through the springs. the right rear
spring slipped so badly that 1t loosened
its clips and allowed the rear axle to
shift position on that side. At one
time the axle and its wheel were an
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-02-27

inch nearer than normal to the front
wheels. and the next instant an inch
farther away. In other words. the
wheelbase on that side Of the car
varied as much as two inches.
This threw the propeller shaft. uni
versals and part of the transmission
shaft out Of line. causing the line to
cramp every few seconds. The effect
was the same as II the universals
were excessively loose or the engine
were buCking.
Fortunately, Smiths car was equip.
ped with hydraulic brakes which were
unaffected by the variation, Had he
been using mechanical brakes, OPP
Grated with rods. the right rear brake
would have been pulled on every time
the axle slipped back on the spring
and when il slipped forward the rods
would have been bent. Conditions
would not have been so serious for
mechanical brakes operated with ca.
bles. but for a good portion Of the
time the car was driven in this con.
dtion the right rear nrake would have
been on.
Brake Power Reverses.
At best there would have been con
siderable brake chattering. 1t sur.
prised Smith to learn that when the
brakes are applied there is reverse
power applied all along the line. The
brakes work backward on the rota-
tiona1 force of the engine and they
also must exert a pull on the frame
and body instead of the push which
the engine normally exerts.
Now and then. ] told Smith, it is
we'll to check the wheelbase of the
car to be sure the rear wheels are
in line with the front ones. Not all
springs are held together with a bolt.
Some can shift a little without any
noticeable evidence of misalignment
except under measurement.

Piston Operation
AT 6O-Mile Speed
Big Achievement

At a speed Of 60 miles an hour,
the pistons of the ordinary auto
mobile engine are travelling at a
rate of 30 miles every so minutes.
Yet. they reverse their direction
about every five inches of the way.
That this process can be con
tinued without audible knocking
of the pistons against the cylinder
walls or banging Of the connect
ing rod bearings Is one of the
greatest single achievements of
modern engineering.

One of the most interesting devices
of the year is continuous chassis

the constant up-and-down action OF
the car as 1t goes over rough roads.
One advantage of the internal eX
banding brake is that the brake
drums can be set up with less clear

contracting brakes. With the ex-
ternal type of brake it is necessary to

HERBERT HOOVER ON AMERICAN
PROSPERITY

During the recent campaign, Herbert Hoover
was very anxious to secure the reelection of
certain Republican Senators and made speeches
in their behalf. He based his appeal on the
prosperity" that has attended the United States
during the term of Office of the Republican
Party
I'm less than six years under republican ma
tional administration of it's political affairs, the
United States has attained level of national
prosperity before experienced by any
people," he said
HooVer's Part
BY of the unlimited authority which
Congress has given the Secretary of Commerce
in the matter of Alaska fisheries he is solely
responsible for the prosperity of Alaska for the
reason that Alaska depends entirely it's
fisheries.
While the United States may be in the midst
of an era of prosperity Alaskans not shar-
ing in this era While the millions of cases of
salmon being taken away from Alaska, the
resident Alaskan is today poorer than
before.

States hold Mr.. Hoover blameleSS!
The Trouble
The trouble with Mr.. Hoover is that he gets
his advice from entirely, the
neries of Alaska. He does not admit that any
else is worthy of serious attention.
Mr. Hoover seems to have nothing but con-
tempt for the people of Alaska. He has set his
great influence against the Delegate elected by
the free citizens of Alaska to speak for them
in Congress. In the last two campaigns, the
issue has been Hoover or Sutherland, and altho
the Hoover policies have been strongly sup
ported by the vast machinery of federal en-
ployees in Alaska, Mr. Sutherland has been sus-
tanned by great majorities.
And still Mr.. Hoover does not learn.
How 1t Is Done
The trick is accomplished by allowing the
cannery exploiters to seize the points of official
power. These canneres forced the appointment
of HENRY O'MALLEY, who is their plant
tool, as United States Fish Commissioner. I'm
der him, the whole Bureau shapes it's policies
to sustain the foreign exploiter, the foreign fish
ermen and foreign merchants
Congress Wonders
The result is inevitable. The population of
Alaska continues to dwindle To get minds
off of our poverty, the Commercial Clubs and
the subsidized press are talking about Pulp
Mills. And Congress wonders what is the mat
ter with Alaska.
The Answer
The matter with Alaska is HOOVER, who
puts into law the recommendations of HENRY
O'MALLEY, who is the efficient mouthpiece
of the cannery EXPLORERS of fisheries.
The Remedy
Give the Alaska Legislature the right to
gulate her own fisheries. They do
WORSE than Mr.. Hoover and his Bureau of
Fisheries. They have every reason for doing
better. the most nowerful reason being SELF
