OF AUTO
MAKES BIG STRIDE
Reasonable Care Will Assure Owner
of Efficient Plant, Says
Coolican.

The remarkable balance built into
Aoday's engines Is an outstanding eie-
ment wherein the automobiles Of 1929
have been improved over those Of a
decade ago. This balance means to
owners increased operating efficiency
and better performance.
That these points are deserving of
attention is the opinion expressed by
Oscar Coolican, local distributor, who
says that in no respect has the auto
motive engineer done a better job than
in making the modern engine an in
herently well balanced one.
Through many agencies and numer-
Gus reflnements affecting virtually every
part Of the motor, the engineer has
achieved his end; namely, that of gain
ing the greatest possible degree of bal
ance. It is true, of course, that the
car as whole now is better balanced
one than that of former years, but
connection with the motor has been
of especial Importance and has gained
but little notice from the car-buying
public.
The engineer is dealing with re-
markedly precise factors in building an
engine. The pyramiding of a few
slight errors here and there will result
In wholly undesirable engine operation.
The engineer will be content with Moth
ing less than perfect performance, and
to gain perfect performance he frst
must have something closely approx
mating perfect balance.
"The effort to achieve this goal has
been beset with endless technical diff
ficulties. Obviously. In the truest sense
the end has not been achieved. Abso-
lutte perfection perhaps Is impossible.
Yet, through years OF research In the
laboratories, on the testing grounds and
In the greatest crucible Of all-the pub
lie streets and highways-the engine in
the 1929 automobile has reached point
which seemed almost impossible OF &C.
complishment q scant few years ago.
AS with every improvement which
the engineer has wrought, the one OF
balance demands something Of the car
owner. Reasonable care and fairness
In operation-given these two tntelli-
gently the car owner will get years OF
balanced service from his engine.
Deliberately TO break down the EN-
Gent set-up Of the present-day engine
Is wasteful In the extreme. Obviously
the car owner himself Is the biggest
loser In such instance.
why not resolve TO take every adj
vantage of that splendidly balanced
unit which years of concentration have
enabled the automotive industry to put
into the latest carp"

BIZ FREDERICK c. RUSSELL.


Just what . man means when he
looks ct the car ahead and says, 7
knew there was q woman at the wheel"
Is entirely up to the party under OBJ
servation.
The ammeter may seem like mans
province, but women who drive their
own cars should learn TO watch the
pointer when applying the brakes. II
there Ii no additional flicker Of the
pointer toward the discharge side, the
stop signal ct the rear Of the car IL not
working.
was talking with woman recently
who said she always feared stopping
on q hill because the car rolled back
ward q little when she started up
again. ! think she was speaking for a
few million women and many add
tional millions Of men as well. Yet
there is no need TO be fearful. Simply
ease Of on the hand brake as the
clutch is let In and the engine is given
gas. Some drivers hold their right
foot on the brake pedal, easing of on
this while feeding gas with the hand
control. Either plan answers.
There Is nothing 10 fear II the enc
gine heat indicator rises considerably
after the engine has been switched of.
The water on top Of the engine nat
urally gets hotter when IL stops CTR
culating. though this condition win be
only temporary.
Has your garage q small door leading
TO the house? II so. keep 1t closed
when you start the motor, otherwise
the exhaust fumes may be drawn into
the garage because Of a slight current
of air between the main doors, which
should be open, and the small door.
Thoughts while following an expert
enced woman driver on a crowded
highway:
She drives steadily, as evidenced by
the fact that the stop signal does not
light up nor do pufis of smoke come
from the exhaust as would be the case
If she lifted her foot from the accele-
rator suddenly. She keeps both hands
on the wheel. There Is an even mar
gin between the shoulder OF the road
and the right wheels OF her car. She
never passes another car without flrst
signaling the driver behind.
Obviously not man-taught driverl
have been asked why it is that the
car cannot be shifted TO low gear with
out a racket In the transmission. This
happens when the clutch pedal is
pressed out for start, according to
the readers description Of the trouble
The remedy for this Is as simple as
the cause. Because the clutch plates
drag, the driven member of the clutch
does not stop rotating when the pedal
is pressed to the floor. All the driver
need do Is to switch of the engine,
set the emergency brake, place the
gears In low, press out the clutch pedal
and crank the engine again. Slowly
let in the clutch and feed gas to keep
the engine from staliing. With the
brakes applied the engine stalls after
few moments Of this treatment. but
in the meantime the clutch plates have
been forced to slip and this smooths
of their faces so that the dragging
usually ceases
II the trouble continues OF course
the car should be taken to a service
station. Sometimes a feature OF the
clutch known as its brake" needs at
tention.

BLIND BACKING HIT
AS MENACE TO LIFE
Dangerous Practice, Increasing in
Capital, Should Be Curbed,
Jose Declares.

The practice of many motorists of
backing their cars without looking To
see where they are going Is q dangerous
one, costly to limb and property, and
should be avoided always, according to
Rudolph Jose, local motor car dealer.
who SAYS blind backing" is being prac-
ticed on an increasing scale by motor
lists in washington.
One needs but TO watch motorists
leave parking space on any busy thor
oughfare to realize that here Is an evil
that is growing and should be curbed
Immediately" he declared. Instead of
turning, about and glancing at the space
behind. the average driver Is content
to back his machine until 1t bumps
into the one behind
The motorist seems to forget that
this practice Is certain to injure some
one elses property. In addition 70 his
own, bumpers or no bumpers, and that
OF FAR greater importance, Of course, Is
he fact that a person passing between
the two cars Is likely to be struck.
After all. not to give heed to where
one Is going when parking or coming
out Of a parking space Is In It's wav
quite as dangerous as the practice of
driving with ones head turned in con-
versation with some one on the rear
seat.
1T makes no difference how skillful
a notorist may be In handling his car.
conditions today demand his closest
attention
THE careful motorist would not
dream Of driving down Pennsylvania
avenue or r street with bandage over
his eyes. Why does this same motor
list think he can go backward without
mis- sense Of sight to guide him?
The why Of it is one of those In
applicable things about motoring But
inexplicable or not, the practice can
not be decried too heartily
Mitigation Of this particular evil
would be distinct step forward Not
to take It Is to violate fundamental
driving principle; a principle whose
consistent violation must inevitably re-
suit in mishap Of one form or another"

Idea Spreads Rapidly.

Modern color contrast was first intro
duced in women's gowns by Madeline
Paquin, and from that start has spread
through the motor world. These Paris
couturiers have, in fact, extended the
scope of their color creations more
widely during the last two years, and
this year several of them, from their
perfect knowledge of the Paris color
trends, have sponsored extremely inter-
esting color combinations for automo-
biles, making use of the tones that they
are using in silk and rayon every day.
Paquin. for instance, gives this as a
disable color contrast scheme for sport
roadster: Body and wheels in char
treuse, holdings and tenders in broca-
telle green, the car to be upholstered
to match the green of the tenders and
holdings. That color scheme is not at
all eccentric, nor Is 1t loud and riotcus
to the eye. But 1t has note of some
