stepped close TO him, and her hands
slipped up along his arms to his
shoulders. She wasn't tall enough
TO clasp them around his neck.

other matter which will handicap the
usefulness OF gasoline in an automobile
engine. The loss of consumption through
leaky valve or a weak valve spring or
poor gasket on a spark plug or on q
valve cap represent other possible gaso-
line losses. Another form of waste IN
gasoline is through cylinder heads and
piston rings which are not properly In
place.
Watch Pipe Connections.
1t is well to watch the supply pipe
which carries gasoline from the fuel
tank to the carburetor AS a solid pipe
Is usually employed any leaks are likely
to be either at the connection with the
tank or with the carburetor A leak of
this kind represents waste in gasoline
and has also a dangerous quality, Il
being q sort Of fire hazard. When ad-
JuSting the carburetor or having IL ad-
JuSted, 1t is well To make sure that the
mixture is kept as lean as possible and
at the same time provide steady firing.
To have the mixture too rich represents
waste. The presence of black smoke
Is an indication OF such overrichneSs
Usually little richer mixture is needed
for cool weather than for Summer.
An automobile engine has to be kept
from overheating and for this reason
the radiator Is provided and supplied
with water. Naturally the engine needs
less cooling of this sort during the cold
weather months. Since an engine that
Is overcooled uses more gasoline, more
effective use of gasoline can be secured
in extremely cold wee ther by the use Of
radiator shutters or covers.
Gasoline Wasted.
Doubtless many thousands of gallons
OF gasoline are wasted annually by auto
mobile owners by their leaving the en-
CINE of their car running while the cars
themselves are standing still. It is 30
easy a matter to start an automobile in
these days that it is better to turn of
the ignition switch and stop the engine
whenever the car is not going to be used
for even a few minutes.
Every automobile in good condition
which is being driven will cover q GER
tain definite number of miles per gall
lon Of gasoline. The owner should find
out by experimentation how many miles
per gallon his car may be good for and
then keep the car in such condition as
to get this amount month after month
There may be little dropping of dur
ing the Winter months, but it should be
slight. The owner can also estimate
the cost per month for gasoline. II he
can estimate about how many miles he
will be travelling for any particular
month.

Public opinion must be developed and
cryStallized in favor of strict and sensi-
Die regulation, uniformly prescribed and
enforced. Traffic rules and regulations
must be developed for the safety of all
and must take into consideration and
give full weight to the inherent respon-

The benefit derived from licensing of all
operators by the State through examina-

BY Fl. CLIFFORD BROKAW,
Automobile Technical Adviser.

The automobile feeds on gasoline.
This liquid is the food which nourishes
the machine and gives 1t life and power
The automobile requires good quality
OF fuel and proper quantity. Feed an
automobile to much gasoline and it
gets Indigestion, loses its pep and soon
becomes a patient OF the automotive
doctor or specialist. Nor can the cars
rations be cut down with anything but
unsatisfactory results. There are other
factors to be considered in getting the
maximum results from the gasoline fed
to motor car.
Question Arises.
The question often comes to the mind
OF the motorist as to whether or not Il
Is better to use ordinary gasoline. The
especial brand Is supposed to provide a
higher power and to lessen the collec-
ton of carbon in the engine spark plugs
and valves. Naturally. the special brand
OF gasoline is more expensive. Some
motorists have felt that they secured
satisfactory results by alternating the
use OF gasoline, using the special gaso-
line on one filling and the ordinary
gasoline on the next, and so on.
To get the best use of gasoline is
economical from the standpoint of cost
since more miles to the gallon are Sc
cured. The engine is also kept in bet
ter condition when the gasoline is be-
ing used to the best advantage and this
represents both saving and a con-
venience. Consequently. to insure the
best efficiency in gasoline consumption,
the driver should be sure that all NOV
Ing parts Of the car are working at their
best.
Proper OiIing Need.
Proper fabrication is one of the essen
tials in having all moving parts effec-
lively in action. A drag on any moving
part is bound to slow down the machine,
call for more power and consequently
more gasoline. There should be correct
firing Of each cylinder of the engine,
especially important is the adjustment
OF the carburetor which regulates the
flow Of fuel into the engine. It would
seem that the automobile tires would
have little connection with the effective
use OF gasoline. On careful inspection.
however, it becomes clear that the
proper initiation of automobile tires and
the proper alignment has considerable
to do with the ease with which a car
gets over the road and therefore affects
the amount Of power required.
More especially do the brakes of the
automobile have to do with the gasoline
consumption, for a dragging brake may
mean lot of difference in the power
required to maintain a certain speed on
the highway. A slipping clutch is an

BUSINESS PICKUP
SEEN AFTER JAN. |
Optimistic Dealers Forecast
Decided Improvement in
Automobile Industry.

DETROIT, Mich, December 13.-The
automobile industry for the current
week showed very little change when
operations were compared with those OF
the week previous, according to B. H
Grams report. Passenger car output
continues on a fairly satisfactory level
and is in excess of this time last month
by a slight margin. The present rate
OF activity from a production stand
point will undoubtedly continue through
the coming week. after which time
there may be some curtailment in
schedules until the first of the year.
Sales Are Slow.
Sales are slow, and despite some
stimulation given the market by the
recent introduction of new models De-
cember may possibly fall below No
vember by a fairly substantial margin.
Despite the fact that sales are slow,
however, some encouragement for the
beginning of next year Is seen in an
undertone of optimistic sentiment on
the part of dealers throughout the
country, and generally higher level
OF inquiries being made from prospec-
tive purchasers. 1t Is confidently be-
lieved that the present situation Is en-
tirely seasonal and that there will be a
healthy pickup Immediately after the
beginning of the year when the auto
mobile shows attract the attention of
the public.
Truck Output Satisfactory.
Truck output Is holding up in a fairly
satisfactory manner, although there is
as yet no indication of any material
gains. New model announcements, par
ticularly in the light delivery group.
have aided the total to some extent. AS
IN the passenger car division of the
Industry, there is expected to be a
rather sharp curtailment of OUTPUT
during the last two weeks of this month,
When many of the plants will close for
inventory and vacation periods.
1rregularity characterizes the sales
situation in this commercial vehicle
division of the industry. october
showed a gain over September, but it is
doubtful If this increase will continue
into November. RecessionS during that
month and in December are expected
with perhaps slow and gradual i'm
provement after the first of the year
1t is doubtful If declines during this
month will be very substantial, the
bottom OF the retail market having ap-
parently been reached prior to this
time.

The following article, sent out through
the National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety, deals with the factors
of safety In the operation of motor We
hicles and of protection of the lives OF
children and pedestrians on the streets
and highways.
Motor vehicle traffic reform has never
been more urgent than it is now. The
rising injury and death rate of traffic is
one OF the graveSt of our national
problems.
AS a people we seem to have fallen
into a peculiar attitude toward these
injuries and deaths. They are nearly
always looked upon as the result of ac-
cldentS that were unavoidable and for
which the operator of the vehicle can
scarcely be held strictly accountable.
We are prone to say that the driver
didn't mean to do it and to excuse the
poor fellow on the theory that the acct
dent itself has been sufficient punish
ment for him.
Traffic Problem Objective.
The objective in solving the traffic
problem and reducing the accident and
death toll Of the streets and highways
must be that OF reaching and removing
the negligent, incompetent, reckless. in
different or chance taking driver. Until
he Is removed, there car be little pros

traffic will be effectually checked.
