Tail Lights
BY sWEDE SWANSON

A nationwide plan is being adj
vanced for the adoption OF courses
In automobile mechanics and opera
ton in educational institutions Of
the country.
The proposed courses would in
clude construction and care Of motor
vehicles, operation of an automo-
bile, motor vehicle laws and NUM-
cipal traffic regulations and the
study of motor vehicle accidents
their causes and prevention.
Thus ''motorology" is to take It's
place among the regular studies of
our public schools, with history
geography and chemistry. 1t de-
serves such recognition and atten-
ton, for it concerns our lives today
as much, if not more so, as does
The French Revolution or the loca-
tons of Tacna and africa.
BY imbuing our youth with the
knowledge of automotive operations
and the complexities of highway
travel, such courses will help bring
a decline in the toll of traffic acct
dents that, at present, continue to
rise.
We of today, knowing compare
lively little of what goes on under
the hood or of what is expected OF
us on the road, fail to comprehend
the seriousness of our positions al
the wheel, despite frequent warn
ingS, accidents and arrests.
Perhaps the next generation, bred
by education rather than threats
will be more deeply impressed with
the value Of conservative, safe driv-
ing.
Here is a choice bit of motor hap
penings that goes to show how even
the skilled trouble-shooter never can
be too sure Of himself.
He had made the boast that he
could tell what was wrong with his
engine without so much as lifting
the hood. Someone questioned him
and, by agreement, made a secret
adjustment of the engine designed
to upset its equilibrium.
THAT" decided the owner, sis a
dead spark plug. You've spread the
points apart. Now if the skipping
were due to a loose ignition wire
there would De a swapping sound
from the stray spark, in addition to
the skipping of the engine"
But he was wrong. An ignition
wire had been disconnected, but
placed in such a way that it's ex-
posed end could not throw a spark
to any metal points around the CYL
inder head, proving that you can't
always tell car troubles by their
sounds.
What with increased vigilance and
anti-theft devices, the number of
stolen cars has reduced from two
out of five in 1920 to one out of five
today.
Before an applicant for a motor
vehicle in California can get one,
he must know the meaning of the
various warning signs that line the
State highways.
The construction of the Holland
vehicular tunnel under the Hudson
River at New York has resulted in
the beginning of seventeen new bus
lines travelling through the tunnel.

Seven improvements Boost
Performance.

PONTIAC, Mich. Aug. 16.-Oak-
land Motor Car Company announces
seven Improvements designed to
make the new series Pontiac Six
more powerful, faster and more fiex-
ible of operation.
Major changes include a new car
buretor, new intake manifold, new
air defector, higher gear ratio,
larger tires, smaller wheels, and
smart new Duco colors on the sport
landau sedan.
Outstanding among the new i'm
provements is a one-inch carburetor
of the approved type used on the
Oakland All-American Six. Not only
is it simpler of adjustment and more
accurate than the old type, but in
creased speed, power, acceleration
and fuel economy are achieved by
its use in conjunction with the new
manifold and gear ratio. Connected

u. S. TURNS OUT
Three MILLION
AUTOS IN 1927
Indiana Ranks Sixth With
10 Factories; Michigan
Is First.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Last
year nearly three and a half million
motor vehicles were manufactured
in this country and put on the mar
ket here and abroad.
The Department of Commerce has
just completed its biennial census Of
manufacturers, and announces these
figures for automobiles.
There were 2,873, $3.50 passenger We
hicles included in the total produced
last year, and 85.5 per cent of these
were closed cars. In 1921 only 21.6
per cent of all cars made were
glass-encloSed.
Commercial vehicles numbered
452,051; public conveyances, 1914;
Government vehicles, 1890, and
trailers, 1888.
Total value of all these machines
was $2,846, ,652, of which all but
about seven millions is represented
in passenger vehicles.
Since 1925, the census shows, there
has been a decline of 1919 per cent
in the number of motor vehicles
manufactured here annually, and a
decrease of ola per cent in the
number Of passenger vehicles man
ufactured.
Contrary to popular belief, not all
tuomobile factories are located in
Michigan, nor very large percent
age of them.
The census showed a total Of 262
establishments, thirty-f1ve less than
there were two years before. Of
these fourty-four are in Michigan,
thirty-four in Ohio, twenty-five in
Illinois, twenty-five in California,
twenty in New York, nineteen in
Indiana, fourteen each in Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin, and the rest
scattered through twenty-six differ
ent States.

with the carburetor is a new mush-
room type air dehector.
The intake manifold has been
changed to accommodate changes in
the carburetor, and the rear axle
gear ratio stepped up to 4.3 to l.
With the increase in gear ratio,
the rate of piston travel is still con-
siderably less than that Of any other
car in the low priced six-cylinder
field.
Greater beauty and a big car ap-
pearance is achieved by the use of
larger 20 by 5-inch balloon tires and
smaller wheels.
