OF these distressing ailments, and which
has already been the means of success
fully overcoming hundreds Of very severe

Motorists on Week End Picnics Chided
For Leaving Grounds in Bad Condition

Ever since the early days Of motoring,
this season has called forth admonition
to car owners regarding their deport-
ment when utilizing the surrounding
country as week end picnic grounds.
According to Rudolph Jose, director Of
tho Washington Autonotive Trade AS
sociation. although the admunition Is a
perennial one and has been for many
years. the 1923 motorist should give heed
to it and. having given heed, follow its
general directions.
ut Is well TO repeat once more" Mr.
Jose says, that each individual motor
ist should see TO 1t that he leaves the
spot he has chosen as his picnic ground
in the same lindespoiled condition In
which he found 1t.
ITO do otherwise is to do an injustice
to ones fellow motorists. who may de-
sire TO make similar use Of the spot, and
to all others concerned. Every one will
agree that there Is no more inconsid-
crate an individual than the motorist
who win litter up an available outing
spot, making no effort whatsoever to
keep it clean and attractive.
There never was any excuse for such
lack OF consideration, such wanton care

NEW TIRE PROCESS HELD
TO PREVENT OXIDATION
Chemists Say Spares Now Can Be
Carried Without Loss
by Checking.

One of the outstanding features in
the new balloon tire, recently an
nounced, is the new process in COM
pounding tread rubber that prevents
cracking and checking from oxidation,
according to tire chemists The dis
covery and use of new ingredient In
compounding prevents rapid oxidation
from the violet rays Of the sun and
from heat and other chemical actions
of the air. chemists say. Because this
new process enables motorists to carry
new spare tires for indefinite periods,
the discovery Is considered as one OF
the most important Of the year.
In explaining the new process that
prevents tires from wearing out with
inactivity and age, chemists point out
that oxidation Is as damaging to tires
while inactive as wear caused during
active service. Formerly tires checked
and cracked and vent to pot merely
from age. In effect the curing or vul-
canizing process was continued after
the tire left the factory and was put
into service as spare. The result was
distinct loss to motorists in an idle
tire.

TRADE IN u. S. AUTOS
SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Advance of 40 Per Cent in Markets
of World Reported for
March Sales.

An advance Of 40 per cent In con-
sumption of automobiles of United
States design in the markets of the
world is reported in the March figures
as compared with February by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce.
The March world consumption figure
was 7l.251, while the total for the first
quarter was 1858. The total for the
entire year 1927 was 64o,500 The first
quarter of 1927 was 180.195. but the
strong showing of March this year leads
to the expectation in the industry that
the first half of 1928 will register a
marked increase over last year
This total of world consumption Is the
figure now being generally used in the
automobile industry in place of the
term exports" because Of the change
in practices Of operation and merchan-
dising Not more than so per cent Of
the United States cars bought abroad
are actually shipped in complete form
from United States ports. Hence the
export figures are only partial picture
of overseas trade. To this figure one
must add the assemblies of cars abroad
and also the production OF american
automobiles in factories in other coun-
tries.
Among the reasons for the continued
strong demand for motor transportation
abroad, in the opinion of American
motor makers, is the growing attitude
Of teamwork TO promote more markets
for all nations. Since there are only
29, sos 900 motor vehicles in the world
for 1900. 900. 600 people, the first job Of
the various nations is not competing
with one another. but in joining to-
getner in enlarging the total volume Of
motor sales, in which all will share.
In this connection, DR.. William
Echolz, general manager of the ASsoci-
ated Automobile Manufacturers of Ger

motion methods of the industry He

isfactory, more than a million dol
lars may be saved in postage by the
various State governments through

made of aluminium instead of steel.
This type tag was first adopted by
Brazil and Japan.
Aluminium weighs just one-thtrd
as much as steel, and the material
is plenty strong, as is attested by its
use for automobile crank cases, pis-
'tons and bodies. 1t is also rust

SPARK PLUG IMPORTANT.

1t is of the most vital importance to
the motorist that the proper spark plug
be used, particularly in view of the pres
ent trend towards higher compression
engines.
Higher compression and engine speeds
mean more heat in the cylinders and
higher operating temperature for the
spark plug. Electrodes and insulators
must be designed to carry away this
additional heat. At the same time the
spark plug must function satisfactorily
under "cool" operating conditions when
the engine Is operating at slow speed or
idling.
These are the problems that spark
plugs face: (a) Pre-ignition due to ex-
cessive heat of the i1suIator and cleo
trodes at high speeds, (b) fouling due
to their running too cool at low speeds.
