with little versatility in your driving

The weeks safety sermonette Is as
brief as usual, but important neverthe-
less. Just this: When you are hurry
ing by a traffic light at the crest Of .
hill be especially careful of any car
approaching. It's driver may be plan
ming to swing suddenly into left turn
hill neither one of you can see the
other until within q rather dangerous
range.
After listening to a salesman cover
the mechanical details of a vacuum
cleaner I never could understand how
so many men think women are inca
pable of grasping the technical mys-
teries of an automobile. On the theory
that the modern woman who knows
her household equipment Is entirely
competent to digest the deeper secrets
OF the motor car I venture to offer as
this weeks lesson on the car an explain
alton OF the difference between down.
draft carburetion and the ordinary kind.
In the usual type Of carburetor gasc-
line Is drawn upward by the suction Of
the motor. The actual pull on the fuel
breaks 1t up and mixes 1t with air to
become gas. 1t is a heaHer-than-a
gas, however, and in being drawn up
ward 1t Is going against its nature
In more recent years engineers have
asked, why not conduct the gas vapor
downward instead of upward?" The
answer Is the downdraft carburetor
now standard equipment on some OF
the well-known cars
In this type CT carburetor the fuel
Is conducted 10 the Jets In the usual
manner. but frcm the time it becomes
gas 1t travels downward on its path to
the cylinders. The interesting feature
OF 1t is that the gas would reach the
cylinderS-sloWly. Of course-even IL
there were no suction pull Gravity at
tends to that.
I might add useful pointer II your
car carries downdraft carburetor
don't use the choke as freely as where
the older type of carburetor Is the
equipment. The explanation, Of course,
IS that gravity helps do for the down.
draft system what the motor must do
alone in the updraft arrangement. II
there are two cars in the family, each
with the different system, be sure to
change your cranking habits when you
go from one to the other.

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

From the looks of some tenders too
many cars are teed of with mashie
instead Of q driver.
She got the idea from an advertise
ment, although the ad writer hadn't
the slightest notion he was passing
along that kind Of tip. Whenever the
children are in the car, riding on the
rear seat, she now adjusts the rear
vision mirror so that it gives a view of
them as well as of the traffic behind
1t Is her theory that number OF accl-
dents have been caused by mothers
looking around to see what the chill
dren are up to. She also thinks it isn't
a bad idea to have picture of the ex-
pressions on the faces of grown-up pas
sengers. Some times guests are need
lessly nervous when motoring.
Does that windshield wiper flop
around when you're driving fast? Does
it get into your line of vision and
annoy you? If so, there's a new little
device on the market that will hold 1t
up and out of the way when not wanted.
The new fltment is nothing more than
a little rubber arm, held to the wind
shield by means of suction cup.
To answer the question asked by a
reader: Yes, the oil level indicator OF
the crankcase should be read only when
the engine Is dead. With tn engine
running, oil is in circulation and the
indicator will always show a lower
reading.
Just for your guidance when talking
1t over with the man at the service
station. one resetting of the springs is
about all they can stand II the car
again starts TO be uncomfortable have
the springs replaced.
Listening to the arguments of vac
uum cleaner salesman gave me an idea.
He pointed out that what really wears
out rugs Is the grinding action OF the
dirt that works into them. A clean
rug lasts longer because the parade of
the shoes has no abrasive to accelerate
the wearing action. Now ! know why
so many car rugs wear out prematurely.
Running board coverings, too.
Any woman who has driven long
enough to notice that cars straighten
out in two different ways after a turn,
should be on her guard against one of
those little things in driving that mark
the difference between safety and risk.
1 refer to the possibility that after you
have become accustomed to one type of
steering you forget to consider that it
may be changing, thereby calling for
different method of handling the car.
The front wheels of some cars
straighten out automatically after a
turn. That is, you do not need to turn
the steering wheel to get the straight
ahead position again. Others require
you to turn the wheel back to the nor
NAL position. What I want to caution
against is forgetting that in time one

FURNACE OIL SEEN
REPLACING GASOLINE

Made With Diesel
Engine Trucks.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, September 1.-THE pos
sibility that furnace oil may replace
gasoline as motor car fuel for certain
hauling purposes is interesting the au-
tomotive industry.
Within the last seven days two Diff
ferent models Of trucks equipped with
oil-burning Diesel engines have made
their appearance here, and reports per-
sist that new passenger car utilizing
a similar type Of power plant may be
produced before the end of the year.
AS at present developed, Diesel power
interests builders Of heavy-duty We
hicles for intercity hauling over COM
paratively long distances, although a
Diesel-enBined racing car in competi-
ton on the Indianapolis Speedway two
years ago demonstrated outstanding
economy and fair speed under contin-
uous operation for 500 miles.
In this performance a four-cylinder
Diesel built by c. L. Cummins Of Co.
lumbus, Ind, with Dave Evans driving,
averaged 8617 miles an hour. Using
crude oil that cost about 5k cents per
gallon, the Cummins-Diesel travelled the
500 miles on 81 gallons and averaged
better than 16 miles to the gallon. This
cut down the fuel cost to Sits, as COM
pared with the gas-powered racers that
give only 10 miles on each gallon Of
premium gasoline, which, with taxes
figured in, runs as high as IS cents a
gallon.
Following up this successful trial,
emphasized by the fact that the racing
job completed the contest without stop,
CumminS ran Diesel truck from New
York to Los Angeles on oil fuel that
cost only sl1.22 for 3,2l4 miles. The
truck carried a load Of 1000 pounds
and averaged 33 miles an hour
More recently, Cummins took his
Indianapolis race car to England and
demonstrated it on the Brooklands
track. Among others who drove it
there was Kaye Don, the Irish speed
pilot, who recently lost to Gar Wood in
a motor boat race for the Harmsworth
Trophy here.

hesiveness and keep it from retaining
an unbroken flm over moving surfaces
or over those surfaces against which it
bears, according to fabrication engineers
in one Of series of bulletins to auto
mobilists on this subject.
Heat in an engine ranges from about
100 degrees Fahrenheit in the crank
case to as high as several thousand de-
grees in the explosion chamber. Oils
must contend with this heat. Some of
them stand it very well; others break
down under it. This is why the motor
ist who is seeking long car life and few
repair bills should select his Oil with
care, making certain to use only those
oils which stand up under heat. Only
by so doing can he obtain proper lubri-
cation under all driving conditions"

A Plea by Van Duzer.
William A. Van Duzer, through the
Traffic Department, of which he Is the
director, has issued pleas for safe and
sane driving. particularly in the neigh
borhood of schools. Accidents Of Sc
rious nature and fatalities among the
school children Of Washington have
been comparatively low. Mr.. Van Duzer
wants this record maintained and I'M
proved. II want every driver to drive
carefully at all times" Mr.. Van Duzer
states. But want every driver to
drive with more than the usual amount
Of care near the schools. Slow down at
all times when children are grouped
around. Come to complete stop. II
doing so removes all chances Of an
accident. Many children do not realize
the perils of traffic. They are young and
thoughtless. But any one old enough
to drive car is old enough to be thor
oughly acquainted with the necessity
Of being cautious
New signs last week bearing the word
''school" have been painted on the streets
near the schools. Crosswalks also are
being indicated in these sections Those

Regards Turning.
A regulation that apparently many
motorists are ignorant Of is the regu-
lation regarding turns in the streets
between intersections. Outside of the
streets where no U turns are permitted
no vehicle within the District Of Co.
lumbia may make turn in the street
between intersections where he cannot
do so without backing. Many motorists,
aware of some sort of rule, believe it
to be only confined to the business or

The National Safety Council has a
good ballot for any election.
In these days preceding election, when
every one is being told what he can do
for his country and what 1t Is America

J. H. HEARDING
QUITS OLIVER
Asst Manager Retires After
Forty-five Years of Service
With Company.

John H. Hearding, assistant general
manager of the Oliver Iron Mining
company and prominently Unidentified
in the iron industry and civic affairs
in the Lake Superior region for almost
forty-fiVe years, voluntarily retired on
Monday.
Anxious to be relieved of further &C
tive duty, Mr.. Hearding asked to be
retired under the pension plan Of the
United States Steel corporation, having
been eligible for some time. He an
nounced that he will continue to make
his home in Duluth, although it is his
plan to relinquish his official connection
with number of organizations in the
near future. He holds the record of
the longest term of unbroken service Of
any general officer of the company.
Tribute to Mr.. Hearding'S service to
the iron industry and the public well
fare of the Arrowhead country during
his long association with the Steel cor
poration was paid by LIE Roy Salsich,
president of the Oliver Iron Mining
company
Associates of Mr.. Hearding all re-
gret his decision to retire from active
business, after his long service to our
company" said Mr.. Salsich, who praised
the formers high character and leader
ship in Duluth and the range towns,
where he has lived since 1894.
Mr.. Hearding first entered the iron
ore industry in 1887, when he went to
Ironwood, Michigan, to take a position
as timekeeper at the Norris mine.
After a short time he was made chief
clerk and during the last five years of
the seven he remained at Ironwood he
was master mechanic at the mine.
In October, 1894, he was appointed
general superintendent of the Adams
mine at Eveleth, then part of the
Lake Superior Consolidated Mines COM
pany, of which w. j. Olcott was gen.
eral manager. He remained in charge
of the Adams and other mines in
the vicinity of Eveleth as superin-
tendent until 1909, when he was ap-
pointed assistant general superinten-
dent of the Oliver company, which

shape to go into the campaign than for
many years. In the last decade there
have been some "sore spots" left as a
result of more or less bitter primary
contests, but this danger is virtually
averted this year.
Even Tom Davis seems to have aban-
doned the idea of trump" G. o. P.
convention to indorse a candidate for
governor against Earle Brown. The
plan was so obviously move to help
Gov. Olson that it appears to have
fallen Of its own weight.
The wild enthusiasm with which Mr..
Brown was greeted at the Younger Re-
publican banquet in st. Paul last Fri
day night, on eve of the state conven-
ton, was such as to warm the cookies
of the hearts of every Republican
present. 1t presaged united front
for the gubernatorial candidate and the
entire state ticket-which is some
thing that hasn't happened in some
years.
The feeling Of optimism among the
Republicans when they gathered for
their convention Saturday may be at
tributed, at least in part, to the action
taken the previous day by the Demo-
Gratis in endorsing D. A A. Van Dyke,
st. Paul, for governor
That action was the death knell of
Democratic armer-Labor fusion this
year.
DR.. Van Dyke isn't of the straw
man" type-he made that plain in his
brief acceptance talk, when he de-
clared that he lis in the fight to the
finish in November" The smile that
this statement brought to the faces of
the Democratic leaders who have been
opposed to fusion was the broadcast some
of them have displayed in a long
time.
Besides, there have been things hap
pening in national Democratic circles
lessen the possibilities of fusion. It
isn't so certain now that Gov. Roose-
welt is going to be the Democratic
presidential nominee. If man of the
so-called reactionary or conservative
type is nominated by the Democrats
the Minnesota Farmer-Laborites won't
support him, but will likely join the
proposed third party national move
ment, already under way to nominate
a real progressive" possibly the young
Sen. Bob La Toilette, Wisconsin.
All in all, it looks as if we are going
to have an out-and-out three cornered
contest for governor this fall, one not
messed up" with any fusion or even
secret understandings of the kind
known as you scratch my back and
I'll scratch yours"
And with three admittedly strong
candidates in the field, and presidential
year to add zest and help bring out the
vote, we are promised such a contest
as we havn't had in many year.
It's not going to be a Brown Olson
fight, either. Doc Van Dyke will be
