sort of work is done before there is
assurance that the weather will be-

Starting difficulties often are
largely a matter of carelessness in

are handicapped through excessive
choking and many of them would
be greatly benefited if attention
were given to the breaker points.

to keep in mind the fact that it's
coming is OF an extremely perfidious

SET BY
CHEVROLET

Chevrolet has smashed all past
sales records for a new model Of
any car, with $500 cars sold and
delivered since January 1, accord.
ing to announcement by the cont
pany made in connection with a
big radio party" to be held in cele.
bration of the event on Monday
evening, March 10.
The new models were announced
in nationwide advertising on sun
day, January /. and Monday, Janu-
airy 2, and in the General Motors
family party" broadcast the eve
ming of January Q, when Chevrolet
was host to the other members Of
the big automotive group. The new
cars also went on display on the
second and sales started with a
rush, which has continued in in
creasing volume until today there
are a quarter Of a million new
ChevrOlets on the ROAD produc-
ton, sale, and delivery record never
before approached by any company.
Reports from all territories in
dictate a record year. even greater
than 1927. the banner year of
Chevrolet history. It is expected
that the rate of sales will increase
materially over that OF the First two
months and a half, as cold weathei
disappears, and the habit of spring
and early summer buying manifests
itself.
The Chevrolet radio party on Mon
day evening. March 10, will be
BROADCAST over a network Of 80
stations from the studios of the
National Brodcasting Company in
New York. An hour Of "Rombsrg"
music will be presented. Sigmund
Romberg, composer Of Desert
Song" the Student Prince" "Blos-
som Time" and other popular light
operas, will be heard on the air for
the first time, playing his own Sc
lections. Martha Atwood, beautiful
young Metropolitan star, will sing a
number of Romberg's best known
songs. There will also be a. quartet
and chorus, special symphony or
chestra and full band, to present
the famous composers music.
On this occasion Chevrolet will be
host, not only to its new and old
car owners and the General Motors
family, but to the several million
people Of the radio audience.

road and drives more rapidly, he
may find that the engine develops
knocks. It simply is the oil thin
ming out and burning off, leaving
the engine under-lubricated.
Tricked BY Nature
Many a car owner has drained
the anti.freeze out OF the cooling
system too early, being tricked into
believing that summer had arrived
Just because of a prematurely warm
day. Still others have driven forth
on warm spring days with far too
much anti-freeze in the engine and
radiator for the good Of either.
Keeping the cooling system eff
Gent. yet protected, In spring is
not q simple proposition. Because
owners feel that winter is passing,
they assume that it is not necessary
to give much attention to such
units as radiator shutters, motor
thermostats and primers with the
inevitable result that they run into
trouble. "A number Of radiator shut.
tiers were examined by one service
establishment as spring approached
and were found to be only from 80
to rs per cent efficient This was

opening fully when the control knob
on the instrument board was set
in the open position.
Due to rusting. some of the motor
remain partly open or
closed, seriously interfering with
the action of the engine in either
case. IL the thermostat does not
block the water in starting, the en-
CINE will lack its usual efficiency
should the weather be chilly. as it
may be in spring. And IL the
thermostat opens only when the
water becomes agitated
with steam, it is obvious that there

Many drivers come to the end Of
winter with the choke device not
working properly. These parts play
their role in warm weather driving
as well as at any other time Of the
year. and are likely to be missed IL
The car is started early spring morn
Ings when the thermometer is low.
Better Mileage
With the approach Of warmer
weather, every car owner antici-
pates better gasoline mileage, and
he reason why he is so frequently
simply is because he
negIects these cold weather matters.
He figures that they are a closed
book. whereas they still play an Inn
oortant role in the behavior and
efficiency OF the car.

Ambulance Travels
$4,000 Miles i'm Is Years

Well over a half million miles of
service is the record of a knight
engined car that has been in con-
tinual service as an ambulance at
the Toronto General Hospital for
the past Is years. Placed in SER
vice in 1913 this car has Travelled
a total of more than $4,000 miles
in it's errands OF mercy over the
streets of Toronto and nearby
points.
Despite this long period OF SER
vice which is said to be an out
standing mark in the motor car
world, this ambulance, powered by
knight sIeeve-valve engine is
still doing active duty. 1t is said
that this ambulance, because of its
long life and quiet, smooth and
economical operation was perfectly
adapted to ambulance work.

GdSOlAaS JEuCKS are today hauling
II per cent Of Chicago's products
and supplies, according to a study
by an Illinois truck association.
Only decade ago Dobbin was do
ing about 80 per cent of Chicago's
hauling business while the motor
truck was piddling along with a
measly per cent.
In 1904. when the phrase mass
production" had not yet been
coined, motor trucks first appeared
in the registrations Of automotive
vehicles. Four hundred and ten of
them were sold that year.
StiIl In Infancy
Motor trucking, despite its rapid
growth, still may be considered in
its infancy, for only seven out of
100 trucks seen on the roads and
streets are operated for hire as
common carriers About four-fifths
OF all trucks are owned by manu-
facturers and shippers.
With the further improvement Of
roads and streets a more intensive
use OF gasoline trucks may be ex-
pected. At present there alto but
so, 900 miles OF rural pavements ca.

out undue road maintenance costs
and also without excessive truck

city streets have retarding effect

throw an unwarranted volume OF
traffic on the better paved arteries.
Truck and bus traffic together
constitute an important item that
must be given careful consideration
in constructing pavements. For in
stance, q truck weighing 10 tons will
deliver a blow of 20 tons in travelling
along at a moderate rate of speed.
This means an impact Of five tons
per wheel. Fortunately. modern
rigid pavemcnts as ordinarily con-
structed win bear this continual
pounding with no Ill effects.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-03-14

One OF the chief reasons for this
service experts point out. is that
the motorist associates springtime
with simplicity. He feels that there
ID no further need Of guarding
against the harmful effects of cold,
Indictment weather and that 1t Is
too early to worry over hot weather
problems. Service experts maintain
that the mOtorist Is caught mapping
because he does not consider that
spring weather Is likely to be
mixture OF winter and summer.
Money is wasted in many cases
on carbon removal and valve grind
ing jobs in the spring simply be-
cause the work either Is done at the
wrong time or the driver does not
take the proper precautions to make
the work effective. Much damage
Ii done to cooling systems in the
spring both through. overheating
and freezing. Another part Of the
car that suffers is the chassis, which
IL made to battle against unusually
Illogical fabrication conditions.
characterization
The story is told Of one motorist
who appreciated that it was about
time to lubricate the shackles and
spring bolts. The day following this
conclusion, however, the weather
became mild and spring-like, the car
ran better than usual and there
wasn't q chassis squeak to be heard.
Naturally, he forgot his resolution
to Iubricate the car and 1t was not
until q cold day followed that he
was brought to realization by set
OF spring bolts that drove him to
the service station with their inces-
SAINT squeaking.
There he was told that the bush
fngs were badly worn--in short, that
his pleasure in driving about on the
early spring day had been quite an
expensive indulgence.
Heat tllins oil and grease, with
the result that in the case Of
chassis bearings in particular the
squeaks that may have prevailed
In colder weather are likely to dis
appear. However, this condition
does not last very long for, as the
inadequate lubricant thins, it dr1ps

be useful, and the result is that

The same thing applies with GER
tain variations in the engine. The
power plant may seem to run ex-
ceptionally well, and it probably
does. Oil is thinned by the moder-
ately increased heat and lubricates

starting process and for the first
few miles OF operation. But IL the

AS the sun begins to sink behind

noon, seven stout-manned crews viii
dip their oars into Hudson River
and row four heart-breaking miles
past gaily bedecked yachts and wild
cheering thousands for the inter-
collegiate championship.
Can Columbia repeat7"
That was what a crowd upwards
of $4,000 wanted to know all day
long. Thousands of undergraduates
were willing to bet money, marbles
or chalk that the Columbia craft
would slide across the finish line in
front of California, Washington
Pennsylvania, Navy, Syracuse and
Cornell.
There was a difference of opinion
between the Columbia boys and the
rowing experts, the latter favoring
the powerful California crew.
Anybody's race for three miles
but California or Columbia after
they pass the towering suspension
bridge and swing into that last, long
gruelling mile. That's what they
we're saying around the Nelson

Pennsylvania, coached by crafty
Rusty Callow, whose Washington
crews won three times and finished
second twice in the last five years,
was not overlooked in the pre-race
discussion.
California never has won the in

CHICAGO, June 19.-While Pro-
moter Jim Mullen's advance re-

their biggest boxing bout since

The ten-round middleweight

doubtedly has inspired the greatest
wave of boxing enthusiasm in this
city since the last heavyweight title
bout.
Among Those Present!
Promoter Mullen made known to-
day some of those who have reserved
seats at White Sox Park for the
bout. The list included Mayor
Jimmie Walker of New York
Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks
Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, former
Governor Charles Bryan of Nebras-
ka, Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey
City, N. j., and Governor Len Small
of Illinois.
Dempsey. Jack Sharkey, Jim
Jeffries and, of course, Jack Kearns,
Walkers manager, also will be at
the ringside, it is said.
The flashing style Of both
fighters, their reputation for bloody,
smashing attacks and the cham
pionship factor have combined to
make the Walker Hudkins match
one Of the foremost of the year.
Opponents Confident
At the conclusion of heavy train
ing today each was subliInely con-
fident of flooring his opponent early
in the bout. The records of the
men seem to indicate that, sooner
or later in the evening, one of them
will do so.
Walker, by virtue of his better
ring experience and slight edge
in hitting power. remained the fav-
orite. The Nebraska wildcat, how
ever, has youth and endurance as
well as a good punch, and certain
ly has the ability to put across the
winning blow if given an opening.
Between now and the night of the
fight, only light workouts will be
taken by the men. The champion
has trained down to the 160-pound
weight limit and expects to go into
the ring even two pounds lighter
than that. Ace probably will weigh
around 154 or 1855.
