MOTORING PLEASURES
ARE SEEN INCREASING
New Highways and Routes Cited
as Adding to Uses Of
Automobiles.

Although well over a quarter OF q
century has elapsed since American
men and women began taking to the
highways In "horselesS carriages" It Is
fact that the range of motoring
pleasures, instead of being exhausted.
really Is just beginning to come to full
fruition.
This is asserted by Rudolph Jose, vet
eran automobile dealer, who points to
the annual expenditure Of more than
$1,000, 000,0 600 on the construction and
maintenance Of roads throughout the
country as a factor In the constant
widening Of the scope Of the automobile
m the promotion Of health, happiness
and material well being.
Everywhere one looks roads are being
rebuilt or built new" says Mr.. Jose.
New rights Of way are being purchased
and attention Is being given to acquiring
them of sufficient width that the high
way of the future will be eminently safe
and convenient in the number of lanes
of travel it will permit.
In some sections, super highways are
being constructed and speed limits have
been raised or removed so that drivers
may proceed as fast as is consistent with
safety. This removes congestion, the
bane of the motor tourist, and eliminates
the hazard Of cutting In and out of the
traffic line, to which so many accidents
may be attributed. The day Of COM
pletely enjoyable motoring Is approach
ing closer and closer, when every family
can own and fully enjoy an automobile.

BY 81. CLIFFORD BROKAW,
Automobile Technical Adviser.

The automobile goes because it is
supplied with a continuous flow Of fuel.
This is as true of the motor car as it
| is of the railway locomotive or the
ocean liner or the airplane. To insure
satisfaction in the use of the motor
| vehicle the fuel system must De func-
| tioning property. Since this factor is
| so vital 1t Is well for the owner of a
car to have some fairly comprehensive
knowledge of it's fuel system. If by
chance something sometimes goes
wrong with this part Of the machine
he will be glad to know what is the
best thing to do under the circum-
stances.
When an automobile is assembled in
the factory. one of the important in
stallatiohs is that which comprises the
units of the fuel system. One of the
essential factors in the fuel system Is
the manifold. The intake manifold is
piping arrangements which has as its
work to perform the distributing of
equal quantities Of fuel to each CYL
inder. Naturally this is very irnpor-
tant function. Sometimes an intake
manifold is so designed to heat the fuel
before it enters the cylinders. Heat Is
considerable help in effecting the
complete vaporization Of the gasoline
which Is necessary for satisfactory COM
DuSGlOu Oh Tie IuG1s
Carburetor Important Factor.
The carburetor is another important
factor in the automobile fuel system.
The carburetor is bolted to the lower
end of the intake manifold and its rea-
son for existence is to mix the gasoline
with air in proportions before it is
burned in the cylinders.
The gasoline, when it flows from the
vacuum tank to the carburetor is first
stored in a float chamber. AS the gas
oline rises in this compartment, the
| float in the same compartment also
rises.
When the gasoline has reached the
correct level, the flow is stopped by a
lever which shuts needle valve at the
bottom.
When the gasoline has reached the
proper level in the float chamber it is
near the top of the spray jet in the
mixing chamber. What happens at this
point is that the suction in the various
cylinders draws air through the air in
take pipe and on through the mixing
chamber. When this air rushes past
the nozzle it sucks from this jet small
amount of gasoline which is vaporized
and mixed with the rapidly moving air.
The gasoline-air vapor Is then drawn
through the manifold and into the
various cylinders as needed. A needle
valve in the carburetor, which opens
or closes the spray nozzle, controls the
proportion of air and gasoline which
are mixed in the carburetor.
Control Valve Considered.
There also Is valve which is oper-
ated by a foot accelerator or the throt-
tie lever. BY the movement of this
valve is controlled the amount of gaso-
line-air vapor which is fed to the CYL
inders.
AS every motorist knows, it Is some
times necessary when starting the en-
CINE to use a richer mixture than usual
This richer mixture is obtained by
using the choke, whereby the quantity

CHASSIS LUBRICATION.

Owners of cars with centralized
chassis-lubricating systems usually note
the slower action Of the plunger at this
season Of the year, but fail to take this
as tip to revise their methods slightly.
If the plunger Is In the form Of a
handle that pulls out, it should be held
open q minute or so. If it Is foot
operated, the driver should press down
on it longer.
The idea Is to allow more time for
the slower running oil to enter the CYL
inder of the plunger pump. 1t is OBJ
vious that when the oil is a little con-
gealed it will not flow out as quickly
to the various points requiring lubrica-
ton. But why overlook the fact that it
also is slow flowing into the cylinder?
The motorist who operates the sys-
tenn the same as he does in Summer
will find that he lubricates the car only
half as efficiently. That Is because he
doesn't give the plunger time to draw
in enough oil.

DRIVE TO PRESERVE
.SHRUBBERY OPENED
A. A. A. Asks Motorists to
Protect Wild Flowers
Along Highways.

An appeal to motorists to protect wild
flowers and shrubbery along the road
side, which adds so much to motoring
in the early Spring, has been broadcast
by the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
The national motoring body pointed
out that while thousands plucked wild
flowers with some degree Of considera-
ton for the trees and branches, others
are highway despoilers and tear away
boughs and whole bushes with which to
decorate their homes for a few days.
UNLESS drastic steps are taken to pro-
tect this shrubbery which adorns the
hi1lsides and valleys" says the state
ment, "the time will come when it viii
be no more. The car owners, who more
than any one else have been responsible
for this ruthless destruction. should
make amends by joining the campaign
for preservation. They have more to
gain than any other group from the
preservation. Of these heralds of Spring.
More especially should this extend to
the dogwood, which is one Of the most
beautiful flowers along the highway.
This tree, generally known to the
public because Of its beautiful flowers,
Is important and has q combination Of
properties which fits It for special use.
It is of special value for shuttles, bob
bins, spool heads, golf club heads, In
fants' shoe lasts, small handles, brush
backs, turnpins. nallets. pulleys and
many novelties.
"F1owering dogwood grows through
out the Eastern and Southern part of
the United States, except in Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Northern New
York, Northern Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. North Carolina and
Tennessee formerly contained the great
est quantities of dogwood timber. At
present the most important commercial
stands are In Mississippi, Alabama, LOU
tsiana, Georgia and western South
Carolina"

of air sucked into the mixing chamber
Is reduced
Naturally, the need for a richer mix
ture in starting Is more often apparent
in cold weather than in warm. The
so-called choke Is valve which opens
or closes the opening to the air intake
of the carburetor.
There is one point which seems TO
need repeating over and over and which
is mentioned here again. The automo-
bile driver should see to 1t that the
choke is not used more than necessary.
The result of using a mixture that Ia
richer than needed is to food the en-
CINE and dilute the Oil in the crank
case. All carburetors have an arrange
ment for supplying the heat needed to
effect a thorough vaporization Of the
the exhaust manifold and is only avail
able when the engine is running. It Is
of particular value during the cold
weather period Of the year.
After the carburetor is installed, the
next factor to be included Is the vac
uum tank. The use of this device
makes it possible to place the fuel tank
at a lower level than the carburetor.

Gasoline Tank Necessity.
That, Of course. in any fuel system
it Is necessary to have a gasoline tank,
is quite obvious. Usually this container
holds about 20 gallons of gasoline and,
of course, the automobile owner should
see to it that there is always a good
supply of fuel in 1t for his car. Since
the gasoline is heat engine, it depends
for its power on the amount of heat
and consequent pressure developed by
burning gasoline in the cylinders with
which to drive the pistons. Within Ger
tain limits, the greater the heat the
greater will be the pressure and the
larger will be the amount Of power.
Consequently, it is well for the motor
list to select as fuel for his car the kind
of gasoline which will give him the best
all-around results.
What is the best gasoline for his car
may be found out by experimentation
or it may be that his service station
technician can give good advice IN this
regard.

any subject pertaining to the automo-
bile that reader may request.
