VAPOR LOCK

Gas bubbles forming in the car

system arc believed TO hold the fuel
back and cause permanent or tenn
porary interruption az the gasoline
supply flowing into the engine. The
vapor forms in the fuel tubes and

Early studies have shown that
gasoline containing an excess cf the
more volatile constituents or of dis

the formation of the gas bubbles
and produce the dangerous "vapor

adjustments and requirements and take
care Of servicing details before starting

In listing the adjustments and Serv-
icing recommended before a touring
trip Commissioner Ruark points out
that they are for the most part simple
and inexpensive, although vitality essen
tial. The most important things which
should be done are:
Motor should be free of carbon and
valves should be properly seated and
adjusted; if spark plugs have been used
over 10000 miles, put in a new set be-
fore starting: examine fan belt and re-
place If badly worn or stretched, and
carry a spare fan belt to boot; flush
and clean radiator: examine all lights,
being sure that all are burning, and
carry an extra set of bulbs: change oil
in crank case: have all ShackleS and
spring clips frightened and replace worn
shackle bolts and bushings; have steer
ing thoroughly tested and adjusted, re-
placing all worn parts; have generator
charge rate adjusted have distilled
water added to storage battery; replace
battery cable if worn or corroded; be
sure car is thoroughly fabricated; have
ignition distributor points cleaned and
adjusted; be sure horn is properly adj

Forty suggestions designed to improve

discussed at a preliminary session of a
motor vehicle conference intrusted with
the Job of overhauling the State traffic

Among the major alterations conSid-

compulsory brake tests, requiring pc
destrians to walk on left side of high
way on open road, and strengthening
law requiring officers to patrol open

RADIO TALENT COSTS
$5,OOO,OOO IN YEAR
Presentations From Studios of Ma.

by President Aylesworth.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 29.-Pres-
entation from studios of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co. in the past
year cost $5,000,000 for talent alone,
said Merlin Hall Aylesworth, president
radio address last night.
In addition, the rental for wires to
carry the programs to associated sta
tions totaled $4,000, 900, he said.
In America" he continued. we
have something like TOO radio stations
If they were to be financed on the
British license basis-and at the same
expenditure per station-it would cost
the listeners of America approximately
$192 100000 in radio taxes, or from
SIS to $50 a year tax on every owner
OF a radio set.
"As matter of fact, in this country
We try to raise the money pain
leSsly. In America we obtain
our financial support in the same way
as does our sister industry--the pub
lication business.
"Of course, the advertising on the
air and the advertising by publications
are entirely different in character
They do not duplicate each other In
any way. Neither performs the func-
tions of the other.
THE radio, the newspaper and the
magazine each has its distinct and
essential part in any complete adver-
tising structure. It is a remarkable
fact that this new force, radio-broad-
casting, has come into our industrial
life as an advertising medium of proved
value without disturbing any of the
previously existing agencies"
