SPRAY PAINTING SAVES
TINE AND LABOR
By Jean Overton


A practice which is steadily gain
ing and is deserving of wider usage
is that of spray painting. While this
method has for some time been
adopted for industrial use, it is only
in recent years that it has made it's
way, to any extent, into the home.
1t is practical for every type of sur
face and in many instances has en-
phatic advantages in addition to
that of being a labor saving device.
Spray guns are operated by'means
of compressed air. Some of the ma
chimes receive their power from a
gasoline motor, which is sometimes
attached as a matter of convenience
to a truck, so that it may be read

other Others receive their power
from electricity. And still others,
spray guns of a very small type, in
tended only for small surfaces,
from hand pumps. In all, the prin-
ciple of operation is the same, the
paint being forced from a contain

atomized and thus sprayed on to the

WARNS MOTORISTS
AGAINST SPEEDING
E. Austin Baughman Ad-
vises "Definite Contribu-
ton" to Highway Safety.

BALTIMORE. February IS GSpcciaD
Motor Car operators can make def
mite contribution to highway safety by
keeping their speed down to a point
where 1t is reasonable and proper" ac-
cording TO E. Austin Baughman. motor
vehicle commissioner, who declared that
failure to observe this rule and be-
cause they we're unable to stop in time
was the cause OF many of the accidents
In 1927.
practically 70 per cent Of the 1927
accidents were caused primarily by the
operation of motor vehicles at unrea-
sOnable and improper rates of speed 20
the extent that the operators we're un-
able to stop in time to keep out of
trouble" he said. IF we were able to
group the sorrowful results of this type
OF operation In actuality. the same as
they are grouped in the form Of figures.
In accident analysis throughout the
country, We would stand aghast.
Sees Sclf-Eyident Fact.
ut is a self-evident fact in many Of
the accidents that no accident would
have occurred If the motor vehicles in
yolved had been able to make a full
stop before coming in contact with the
object struck. In view of the fact
every motor vehicle operated on the
public highways shall be under the full
control of the operator. the question
as to why the vehicles are not stopped
in time to prevent accidents becomes
OF paramount Importance.
CLOSE study of accident reports
clearly shows the fact that in vast
majority of cases the motor vehicle in
volved was not under the full control
of the operator to the extent that when
the operator desired to stop or saw the
necessity for stopping he was unable
to do SO in time to prevent the acci-
dent

There is no question but that there

herbivorous animals trying to cross the
asphalt beds were entangled and killed.
and that the predatory animals and
birds, coming to feast on their bodies,

the animal bones there have been found

enough produce from petroleum the
fuel for the motor. the lubricants for
the parts. the asphalt for the pavement
and for the garage roof, the same mate

Many Queer Noises

cording to a carriage builder who
has had long experience with body
work. Lengthy spells of wet weather
will sometimes cause group Of
most annoying noises. sometimes
lasting a day on one pitch and then
switching to another.
A good general rule to follow is
never to go hunting for a body

An artificial change. however. may
be effected in any kind of weather.
One way Of bringing this about is
to take the car on long drive II

will go far toward drying out cer-

Front Tire Places
Metal i'm Position
For Rear Puncture

Those annoying rear wheel pune
lures. which cause deposits OF grease
on the shoulders of the motorist who
don't possess a long handled jack.
have been the cause OF mystification
to many who think they are running
in straight line and wonder why
the front wheels didn't get the pune
ture. A tire-test car was run recently
over a large piece Of an automobile
spring to find out why the rear tires
we're punctured and the front ones
were not hurt.
As the front tire ran over the
metal it left 1t 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
This also accounts for the reason
the rear tires will pick up nails and
other objects over which the front
tires have run, leaving them almost
upright and in a position to be easily
picked up by the rear rubber.
