New Series SO Carries
ModuIatOr.

What is regarded as one of the
foremost contributions to automo-
tive development this year is an
nounced by G. M. Williams, presi-
dent of the Marmon Motor Car
Company, with the perfection Of the
new Marmon high frequency oScil-
lating modulator, designed COM
pletely to eliminate torSional vibra-
ton from automobile engines. The
new device now is being incorporated
on the New Series Marmon SO, one
of the company's two lines of
straight-eight cars.
The modulator, despite its techni-
cal length of name and the i'm
portant function which it performs,
is remarkable for it's simplicity of
construction and ingenuity of de-
sign. 1t is the development OF
Thomas j. Little Jr., chief engineer
of Marmon, and marks his 225tfl
invention in the automotive field
and in the field Of gaseous cambus-
ton devices.

TIP ON BRAKE
TESTING Given
Dealer Suggests Way to
Check in DRAG.

A simple test by which any mo-
torist readily can ascertain whether
his brakes are dragging, condition
that seriously affects car perform
ance and operating economy, is
passed on to the motoring public by
w. E. Stalnaker, vice-president
Graham Paige of Indiana.
To test for dragging brakes, at
tain a speed of thirty miles an hour
on a smooth and level road, then
shift to neutral and let the car
coast, says Stalnaker. When the
Speedometer shows twenty-five
miles an hour, begin timing the
declaration. If your car is not roll
ing five miles an hour or faster at
the end of sixty seconds, have the
brakes inspected.
To offset the effect of the wind,
the driver should make the test in
both directions over the same level
stretch, and note the average time
taken to accelerate from twenty-five
miles per hour to five miles per
hour. The average should be sixty
seconds or more.
1.-THE beauty of this test" says
Stalnaker, lis that it can be per-
formed at any time you are out in
your car"

Tail Lights
BY sWEDE SWANSON

A GAIN, with the coming of fall,
IN the tragedy of the closed gar
age will be re-enacted in many a
city.
1t isunfortunate that this should
recur, year in and year out, despite
the education and repeated warm
ings broadact to motorists. But
somehow we grow lax during
pleasant summer and we forget.
But let us not forget this time.
Let us remember that the fumes
that escape from the exhaust of our
motors are deadly, so much SO that
only one part of in 10000 of pure
air is said to be a hazard to life.
AS the weather gets colder it Is
becoming more difficult to start our
cars. We start the motor within the
warm, closed garage-and forget the
danger that besets us.
Carbon monoxide gas is treach-
erous poison. 1t strikes us without
warning. We are used to the cars
exhaust fumes, so we think moth
ing of smelling them. But in this
exhaust lies our danger, unless we
are alert to it.
Better back the car out of the
garage, if you must fuss over it. o.
at least open the doors wide and
see that they stay open.
How to tell for certain whether
the battery is a possible cause of
the trouble when the starter will
not work helps lot in the process
of eliminating possibilities.
The first thing to do is to switch
on the lights and then note whether
they dim when the starter button is
pressed. Just trying the lights or
the horn, without also trying the
starter, is of little consequence since
the starter uses many times the
amount of current consumed by the
lights.
To make this test effective in the
daytime vary the plan so that the
starter is tried while the horn is
blowing. 1t is difficult to judge the
effect of the starter on the lighting
when the sun is in competition, but
the horn test solves this.
