new TRUCK is
PUT ON MARKET
White Product Meets Re-
StriCtionS in 22 States.

A new heavy duty truck designed
to meet special conditions created
in twenty-five States by weight re-
strictions and new transportation
demands in all others was an
nounced today by Walter G. White,
president of The White Company.
TIE new chassis is equipped with
pneumatic tires and adds speed,
flexibility, and increased carrying
capacity to the pulling power re-
quired in excavation, construction,
bodybuilding, oil, lumber, inter-city
hauling and other operations where
loads are heavy.
Heretofore, contractors in these
field have been limited to extremely
low speeds in heavy duty vehicles,
and may States have passed laws
reducing gross weights which may
be carried on solid tires.
Nine States have placed this limit
at 10000 pounds or less, six others
have limits Of $4,000 pounds, and
seven have special or seasonal re-
strictions which prevent truck own
ers from making maximum use OF
their equipment.
The new White-known as Model
58-solves these problems by the use
of pneumatic tires, a chassis weigh
| ing only $500 pounds, and a marked
increase in speed and fleXibility.

Tail Lights
BY SWEDE SWANSON

Many OF us have dreaded the
coming of good weather and the
outcropping of pleasure drivers.
Both are with us now and as the
summer approaches we shall get the
full effect of this combination on
our narrow highways.
But this state of affairs neither is
the fault Of the weather nor Of the
pleasure seekers. Rather it is the
fault of the State that congestion
should exist.
Generally, we find the slow and
inexperienced driver staying close to
the right side of the road and
Winding his business rather seri-
ously. 1t is only when a man gets
too cocksure of himself that he be-
comes less cautious and considerable
in his driving. 1t is he who scurries
through traffic making life miser-
able for others, while the novice
keeps on his steady way to the right.
The chief reason for this condi-
ton is the lack Of broad high
ways diverting from our main cities
where most of the automobiles
gather. This is the day of the 100
and 200-foot road and the States
that ignore this step in the process
Of civilization find themselves trou-
bled with congestion of the arteries
and a retarded circulation.
An annoying clicking sound in an
engine, most pronounced during idl-'
ing or low speeds, is very apt to be
the result Of too strong a spring on
the rocker arm in the distributor.
At higher speeds the spring is weak
ened by the rapidity Of its move
ment, and also because the noise it
makes is drowned out by the Kissing
OF the carburetor.
With the eight cylinder cars COM
ing to use two breaker arms and
two springs there is a double chance
Of noise at this point. Any good
mechanic can relieve the tension on
one Of these springs, if it annoys
you.
This clicking sound from the dis
CrlpuCOr O1Uen IS wrongly diagnosed
as the swapping Of the spark as it
jumps to the various contact points.
The following suggestion comes
from one of our readers and we be-
lieve it good one:
Gentlemen:-In night driving,
when facing bright lights, have
often thought that if cars were to
carry a light on the left side which
would illuminate the road to their
left, it would make it much better
for the approaching car facing the
bright lights, as often the lights
are not and should not be dimmed,
but with a side light to the left the
awful blackness beside the ap-
preaching bright-lighted car would
be dispelled. This is especially true
in the country where there are no
auxiliary street lights.
I hope you may see fit to mention
this suggestion in your paper some
time, in the future. hope that it may
be experimental With by drivers.

PRICE RANCE ON
new WHIPPET G
IS below $500
Sensational Reduction Is
$50 Under Nearest Rival
Light Six.

TOLEDO, O.. Ape& 18.-The new
Whippet Six az a price range which
makes it the lowest priced six cylin-
der car ever offered, was announced
here today by John N. WHY'S, presi-
dent of the WHY'S Overland Com
pany.
The coach model sells for $685. at
the factory. Other prices are: tour
ing $615; roadster, $685.; coupe, $685.;
four-door sedan, $745.
Early comments are to the effect
that this move on the part of WHY'S
may prove to be as significant in its
influence on the six cylinder market
as was the dramatic price develop
ment in the light four-cylinder field
earlier in the year.
$50 Below Nearest Rival
At the announced prices, the
Whippet Six coach is $50 below the
nearest six-cylinder car on the
market.
This new car, for the first time
In the history Of any six within $3.50
of its price, is equipped with seven
bearing crankshaft, setting a new
trend among the light six cylinder
cars. Other important mechanical
specifications include full pressure
oiling system, extra long connecting
rods, invar-Strut pistons silent tim
ing chain and single piece pressed
steel, banjo-type rear axle.
1--WE determined to make this car
mechanically correct in every de-
tail before we offered it to the buy
ing public" WHY'S declared. For
months we have had $50 expert
mental Whippet Skies in operation
in all parts of the country, subject
ing them to every known severe
test. These cars travelled a total of
more than 100000 miles during
these tests and gave us ample time
to bring the car to point of per-
lection before introducing it to the
public.
Tested at Speedway
"After the Whippet Six had been
declared mechanically correct, we
put it through a gruelling twenty
four-hour run on the indianapolis
Speedway, where it set a new rec
ord for cars under 1000. The Whip
pet Six travelled 1879 miles in
LAO minutes, including stops, and
averaged 1852 miles an hour.
"It has shown outstanding ability
to climb steep grades in high gear.
During a special 50-rnile run, it
averaged 63 miles an hour, with

John Edwin Hogg, author.
A standard code Of motor coach
regulations has been prepared by
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce, in cooperation
with other organizations, and has
been submitted to several States
for Endorsement. Motor coaches,
according to this code, shall not
be more than thirty-three feet long,
ninety-six inches wide and four
teen and one-half feet high.
In a plea for safer brakes at a
meeting of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers in San Francisco,
figures were cited that showed a
car with two-wheel brakes can not
be stopped from a speed of twenty
miles an hour in less than thirty
seven feet, and that four wheel
brakes reduce the theoretical dis
lance to twenty-five and one-flfth
feet.
