USED IN FORD
Generator Fitted To
Rear of Car Sup.
plies Gas

Charcoal or wood-burning gas
producing generators, which can be
fitted to automobiles, are being
studied in foreign countries where
petrol or gasoline is sold at high
prices or difficult to obtain.
Fitted TO an ordinary automobile,
the generator supplies gas in suffi-
cient quantity to run the engine.
Little change in equipment is neces-
sary for gas operation, and this
does not prevent the use of gaso-
line when conditions permit.
Originally invented in France, the
gas generator has been further de-
veloped and its use is being en-
couragcd both on the continent and
in outlying colonies. In the latter
place gasoline il difficult TO pro-
cure but wood exists in large q%uanti-
ties. This can be used either cut
into small pieces and dried or mnau-
featured into charcoal, which is
preferable.
Gas manufactured BY the gas
generator is a mixture Of carbon.
hydrogen and nitrogen. Nitrogen
from the alp. feeding the gas pro-
Queer. passes entirely into the fl
nal gas, diluting the final consti-
tuents. This results in a diminu-
tion Of power Of approximately
fifteen per cent.
II has been observed that the
Ford engine, having n large cylin-
der capacity and low engine speed
gives a greater efficiency with gas
from gas producers than the major
ity of engines.
Gas producers for the Fordson
tractor have also proved very salts

Ice-Bound Ship
Uses Frigidaire

DAYTON, o., Jan. 00.-Although
the exploration ship Bowdoin is froz-
en- into the thick harbor ice at Main,
Labrador, only 700 miles from the
Arctic circle, the Macmillan polar
expedition is depending on electric
refrigeration TO keep its food sup
plies palatable.
Ice locked in winter quarters
where temperatures seldom get as
high as the zero point at this time
Of the year, the Bowdoin is a re-
fuge of cozy warmth for the explor-
ers waiting to push on northward
next spring.
Inside the ship, the temperatures
equal those of any modernly heated
home or apartment. so that here is
found the curious paradox Of me-
chanical refrigeration used daily in
the midst Of a vast area OF sub-zero
weather. When the party sailed
northward from the United States
several months ago, IL selected Fri
gidaire equipment 70 provide the
automatic refrigeration needed for
a long period away from civilization.
Clifford Himoe. chief wireless
operator Of the Bowdoin. has writ
ten to his mother. Mrs. Anna S.
Himoe of Glendale, Calf. describ-
ing the modern comforts being en-
joved by the party in its enforced
winter solitude.
According to records, a great
MANY more than half Of the ships
which enter the Arctic have rever
come back. but so far the Bowdoin
has been the only ship to- enter the
Arctic especially designed for the
ice" Mr.. Himoe writes "The Bow
Aoin is shaped so that when caught
between two ice pans. the pressure
rorces her up and she rests grace
fully on top Of the ice. An ordinary
hin is forced down and crushed in
.f@ lam.
The Bowdoin Is a regular yacht.
We have Notwithstanding cleo
'ri- anchor winches, radio telegraph,

receivers"

WHIPPED MARK
Still STANDS
Leads Light Car Field
Makers Say; STAN
dard High

Since the recent announcement Of
John N. WHY'S, president Of WHY'S
Overland, Inc, placing the Whippet
In direct price competition with the
lowest priced cars in the light car
field. a greater interest than ever
before is being conferred by the
motor car buyers of the nation on
the notable records established by
this car since its introduction ~
months ago.
This unusual attention being d.
rected or the Whippet performance
Is said by neutrality-suspicious. TO
be based on the fact that the motor
car buyers Of today measure quality,
material, workmanship, economy OF
operation and general serviceah ility
Chiefly by performance.
Over a period of Is months the
Whippet has been put through a
greater number of tests than any
other car in the history Of the auto
mobile industry, each test being
made to definitely establish the in
built stamina of the car. These
tests have been staged in every
section of the country many Of
them by independent wners. Among
the tests staged were speed, power,
economy and stamina performances.
1t is pointed out that one Of h
notable records established By a
Whippet is the fuel economy mark
of 1928 miles to the gallon Of fuel.
This was made in n coast-to-coast
trip of 3,559 miles under the Off
cial observation of the A. A. A.
In power accomplishments the
Whippet has also set notable marks
among them being the climb up the
almost trackless side Of Stone
mountain near Atlanta, Ca, a few
months ago. Only two other cars
have accomplished this climb. both
Of them being much larger and
more expensive than the Whippet.
In a stamina test a whippet ran
continuously for 80 days and nights
travelling a total Of 12.00S miles at
an average Of 31.l0 miles to the
gallon OF fuel.
Piloted by Joe Lusignan Of Stock
ton. a whippet covered 1929 miles
in 10 hours. climbing five mountain
peaks. one of which was ove 9,9i1
feet high.
In a challenge race from Casper.
Wyo., to Rawlins and return, a
Whippet was an easy victor over an
other light car.
Willvs-0verland officials declare
that with nearly 10000 Whippets
in the hands Of owners. these cars
cars have Travelled a collective total
of a half billion miles and cite the
low service cost of the Whippet as
an indication of its inbuilt quality
and stamina.

COMFORT item
IN new DODGE
Should Go With Mech
anical Perfection,
Expert Says

In a recent symposium gathered
by Percival White, consulting Ingi-
neer Of No. IT'S Fifth Avenue, New
York City, to determine the require
ments for ideal construction, J. A.
Kline, managing director Of the
Automobile Club Of Richmond, Vir-
GINA, stated:
"The thing Of Importance in an
automobile covers a great many Of
your subjects, namely, good engine,
good chassis, good brakes, good body,
or, in other words, those parts which
go to make up a good automobile.
After this ID once made, the next
thing is the important comfortable
mechanical features that make safe
ty."
Considering the new product Of
Dodge Brothers-the Victory Six
one notes that the car has net sac
rificed comfort for mechanical per-
lection. 1t has q noiseless body
and the construction of the entire
chassis renders the car absolutely
quiet while being driven.
There is an absence Of b dy stills.
and the seat bases are built into the
chassis-an unusual feature which
makes for better comfort. There is
sufficient h~ead-room, leg room, and
the seats are OF unusual width
which keeps the backbone In a COM
Portable position. The comfortable
agile of the seats and backs, with
ample roominess, insure comfort
ard change Of position or long rides.
The quality OF the upholstery
the sides put on in detachable pan
els-all aid in keeping occupants Of
the Victory Six in a st2te OF COM
fort.
The double wall construction of
the car keeps it at an ven tempera-
ture both IN winter and in summer,
and the tight fitting doors make i
draftproof.
