This inscription on a slab Of

and shows that in that civilization,
according to Gibson, people had

In reviewing the life Of the boy
the speaker said that boy is so

not understood by the parents and
in most cases the boy cannot under

wide gulf that exists between many
parents and their children.

De OTTO SEDAN
SETS MARK

In test run from Los Angeles
to Seattle in a stock model DeSoto
six sedan, Eddie Pullen, former race
driver. travelled 1892 miles in "a
hours. making an average speed Of
S8 miles per hour, he told factory
officials.
The trip was made primarily to
see how the Chrysler-built DeSoto
would perform at high speed over
a long period of time with varying
road conditions. The telegram
from Pullen stated:
II left Los Angeles In my DeSoto
six sedan Friday at A a. m. and
arrived in Seattle Saturday at 8
p. m. stopping four hours for
eating and sleeping. The car aver.
aged 3S miles per hour and gave
10 miles to the gallon Of gasoline.
/ used but one quart of oil. The
record consider marvellous for a
strictly stock automobile"
Pullen was not trying to estab-
lish new Los Angeles-Seattle road
record. but wanted to know how
the car would perform on such a
long trip, he explained. The sedan
was from the stock of q Los
Angeles DeSoto six dealer. Before
starting. the car was checked and
oil changed. but no other special
preparations made.

SERVICE URGED
FOR FILTER

Half a pint Of abrasive matter
taken from the oil by the filter in
10 900 miles driving emphasizes the
necessity of 1.4otorists having the oil
filter renewed every 10000 miles.
This amazing discovery was made
after repeated tests by research
engineers who burned a cloth filter
ing unit taken from an oil filter that
had done service for 10,376 miles.
The residue was composed of one
nird sand and two-thirds metal OK.
ides and was of such a highly abb
rasive nature that it could be u1ed as
an effective knife sharpener.
While the abrasives were trapped
by the oil filter before doing damage
to cylinders. pistons and other inter.
nal parts of the engine, engineers
warn that after about 10000 miles
the unit usually becomes so filled
that the filter needs servicing
necessitating installation of re-.
newal cartridge which will make the
filter as good as new again.
The manufacturers oil changing
recommendation are based on the
use of an oil filter and that it is
being renewed every 10000 miles,
therefore it is important that the
filter be serviced after this mileage.

The cars are notably attractive IN
appearance and both lines have
been heightened, the wheelbase of
the six being 112.5s inches and that
of the four 1894 inches.
The six-cylinder power plant is
an I-head seven bearing engine
developing 23.4 horsepower. The
four-cylinder engine has a bore and
stroke OF '3bx4% inches, which
compares with 3hx4% inches in

has been sought by increasing the
stroke. but retailing the old bore
for reasons of economy.
Finger-Tip Control
Undoubtedly the innovation In
both the. six and fo,ir-clyinder
chassis which will strike the OBJ
server first Of all Is the. installation
of what is called "finger-tip con-
troll"
This consists of button at the
ton of the steering column by
means of which all the functions of
starting the engine, sounding OF
the horn and dimming the lights
are controlled. This does away
with the need for moving the foot
away from the brake or acceiera-
tor pedal in making start, and it
also makes it simple to control the
action of the lights at all times,
without removing the hands from

serve on an automobile that doesn t
require some specific kind Of atten-
ton. With one type of engine the
driver will not be obliged to do
some one act, but with another he
will have another type of job.
Don't complain about the car be-
cause it has some unit which,
working on a certain principle, re-
quires a specific type of attention:
Just give it that attention, ana
simplify the process as much as
possible. If it isn't one thing it's
another!
Better principles are being evolved
every year, but car owners must
understand them If they are to get
the best results from their ma
chimes.
Whenever one hears motorists
condemning a certain make of car
because it does things he doesn t
approve of, it is more than likely
that he is not really acquainted
with the car Some owners do not
even know that different engines
require different levels for their oil,
some working more efficiently on
more than the average number of
quarts, others less.
b Many people, drive their cars,
summer and winter. without ever
making carburetor adjustments for
the change in temperature. They
invariably complain of low gas
mileage.
Blame Rests with Driver
"It's a good car, they claim,
"but the mileage is too low. Regu-
lar hog for gas" II one is not
careful one may make the mistake
of being misled in a choice of cars.
There is quite a difference in the
methods of starting cars. The set
rules by no means apply to all
Some drivers, therefore. continue to-
have trouble starting and help
along the rumor that given car
has a certain unsatisfactory fea-
ture.
In the final analysis the weak
point" about most cars is the
driver.
Downright 1921
The Washington times., 1928-12-12

Automobiles progress in design as
engineers discover that certain prin
ciples are more generally satisfac-
tory, but there would be far less
trouble, even with principles which
are not considered satisfactory, If
all owners would make an effort to
understand thoroughly the various
principles employed in the construc.
ton of their cars and cater to them.
Must Be Pampered
It is not generally recognized. that
every mechanical device must be
pampered to some extent. There
never was anything devised by man
which didn't need attention of some
kind, and the wrong treatment is
often worse than no attention at all.
When something goes wrong with
car the motorist often decides that
the principle is wrong. He con-
dennis it. A rumor develops tothe
effect that such-and-such a car has
a poor clutch, transmission, engine
or carburetor. And lot of unneces-
sary trouble is created.
Some years ago one make of car
used certain type of transmission
ers had nothing but trouble with it,
while others found it satisfactory in
every. respect. The trouble was SIM
ply that in its location at the rear
it required certain attention. Those
who catered to it had no trouble.
Many units in cars nowadays
seem to give less trouble, but that
is simply because the attention
required is so simplified that the
car owner couldn't miss 1t. This
process has its bad features, too;
for the more nearly troubleproof
the units of car become the more
the motorist is inclined to be
neglectful. There was once a time
when the motorist had to think of
gas, oil, water. air, tubes. patches,
wTenches, gaskets. bearings. plugs,
wires. cranks and so on whenever
he started out for a short ride.
Folks thought that If things were
simplified to a point where but
three or four matters had to be
looked after all would be well.
But such was not the case. Today
the motorist has little more than
gas. oil and water to consider for
the short spin. yet the number of
people who forget gas is nothing
short of remarkable.
Better Principles Evolved
In the old days it used to be
question of running short of fuel
through no fault of the drivers.
Today motorists just forget it alto
gether.
There isn't anything designed to
