GRAHAM

Graham offers this year two eishts
and six, designed along the most
modern lines. A forerunner of the new
car design in its 1882 models. Graham
goes further this year with its stream
lining. Further development of the
skirted Tenders, rounded hood and slop-
ing radiator characterize the 1888 cars.
instruments are placed on the board
in a cluster" instead Of the usual
spaced arrangement. The large dial
serves not only as a speedometer, but
also incloses the other indicators with
in its circle
The eight Of the standard line re-
tains the 95-horsepower engine of the
custom eight, and is 191 inches over
all In length. The six has an overall
length Of 185 inches and high-com-
preston 85-horsepower engine. Gra-
ham engineers claim that use of the
aluminium, head, as in the Graham
cars, permits extra power without re-
quiring high-test gasoline. The frames
are of the same type as last year, and
the engine is mounted in rubber at four
points. Their spacing is said to make
for greater smoothness and quiet.
Movement of the engine in its rubber
frame, the engineers claim, smooths
out roughness and vibration, especially
at high speed
Three lighting arrangements are
possible with the new type head lamps.
The right lamp operates only on the
right side Of the road, while the left
lamp. which may be detected when
passing another car, operates normally
straight ahead.

FRANKLIN OLYMPIC

Franklin's Olympic model, brought
out last October, is presented for the
first time at a Washington show. 1t is
the lowest priced car in the Franklin
line, which also includes the Airman
and l2-cylinder series. Franklin is
the only manufacturer using both air
cooled engine and supercharger. The
Olympic. of 100 horsepower, is said to
be the highest powered for car weight
OF any STANDARD sized automobile, and
by using aluminium and its alloys, fol-
lows airplane practice
Streamlining is used extensively in
the new car, which has slanting wind
shield, sloping hood front and contoured
rear section. Greater power and
smoothness comes from the super
charger. which forces the fuel mix
ture into the cylinders under pressure.
The new models are equipped with
syncro-mesh Transmission, silent gears
and free wheeling
The Airman series, of wheelbase
OF 1872 inches, uses full elliptic springs,
both front and rear The 12-cylinder
cars are said to be luxurious in riding
comfort and appointments. They turn
up $50 horsepower and have a double
high axle, which enables the driver,
by the flip Of lever, to change the
gear ratio.

CHRYsLER

Chrysler introduces four lines Of cars
"a six Of 1l7-inch wheel base and SO
horsepower, the Royal eight of 120-inch
wheel base and 80 horsepower, the I'M
perial eight Of 126-inch wheel base and
108 horsepower and the Custom Impe-
rial eight of 146-inch wheel base and
135 horsepower Among the innovations
brought out by Chrysler is an ALL
silent" transmission, accomplished by
helical-type gears; vacuum controlled
automatic clutch and automatic shock
absorber regulation. Use of oilite
springs now has been extended to the
SKIES. Oilite is an alloy Of 40 per cent
oil and so per cent metal, a combina-
ton said to be squeak proof and re-
move fabrication need. The starter
button has been eliminated in favor Of
automatic starting. by which the start
ing gear engages when the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
A lighter piston is employed. which is
said to reduce oil consumption and re-
duce vibration: a valve seat insert is
added to eliminate loss of power due
to valve deterioration and reduce ne
cessity for valve grinding
Sweeping lines characterize the new
Chrysler bodies. With slight variations,
the 1882 V-type radiator has been re-
tanned. More deeply curved tenders and
newly designed headlamps mark the
models. The six-cylinder line includes
six body types, with prices ranging from
s795 to S1,055. The Royal eight is
thought by the company to be superior
to any other eight previously produced
by Chrysler, with the exception of the
Imperial line.

First Auto Show
Held Here in 1907
At Dupont Garage
Only Eight Survive List
of 30 Exhibited 26
Years Ago.

Washington's first automobile show
dates back to February, 1907, 26 years
ago. In contrast with the present one
occupying the entire Washington Audi
torium, with the greatest available floor
space in the city, the first exhibit was
held at Dupont Garage, 1920 M street
northwest.
OF the 80 makes Of 1907 cars dis
played at Washington's first automobile
show, only eight names have survived
the years at the present one. Through
l.. C. Clements, president Of Dupont
Garage, The Star has been supplied
with a list Of the cars displayed at
Washington's first automobile show.
At the 1907 exhibit, there were five
"electrics" on display bearing the names
of Waverly, Columbia Baker, Babcock,
Columbus Studebaker Air cooled

ESSEX TERRAPLANE

The smaller companion Of Hudson
enters 1888 with two series, an eight and
a six, Of which the eight is entirely new
The eight comes on 113-inch wheel
base in all popular body styles, is said
to deliver 94 horsepower and run more
than 80 miles an hour. 1t Is capable
of very fast acceleration and has re-
markab!e hill climbing ability. Engine
and frame are separated, with engine,
clutch, transmission and propeller shaft
acting together as driving unit inde-
pendent of the steel body and chassis
Smoothness in riding is said to be pro-
NOTED by this arrangement. Non-pre-
MUM gas can be used in the L-head
engine because of use of patented
combustion chamber. The Terraplane

DE SOTO

Patterned after a custom built French
automobile, the new De Soto carries
into 1888 the smart style which made
it one of the most dashing cars of 1882
The rounded, slanting radiator of last
year is continued. the visorless wind
shield slopes backward and the cars
are longer and lower. The 70-horse-
power engine will turn up 78 miles an
hour, while a "red-head' engine of
high compression, developing sc horse
power, may be purchased at additional
COST
De Soto also uses the device which
starts the car simply by pressing the
accelerator. Instant re-starting is said
to be guaranteed If the motor stalls
The car has the floating power" Of

CONTINENTAL

A new car makes its bow at the show
this year-the new Continental, in
three lines. The Beacon is a four
cylinder car in the lowest price field.
and is said to give unusual gasoline
mileage. 1t is built in four body types,
two-passenger roadster business
coupe, two-door sedan and four-door
sedan. The light six of the Continental
line is known as the Flyer, also pro-
duced in four models in a 107-inch
wheel base The larger six, the Ace,
comes in three models on 114-inch
wheel base. Two more models are to
be added to the larger six line Radia-
tors of the new car are V-shaped. fen
ders are deep drawn and the slanting
windshield is Of safety glass. The en-
gine rides on three supports, and is
permitted to rock slightly on its power
axis. Engineers of the company claim
they have eliminated excessive weight
and claim up to 80 per cent less un-
sprung weight than other models. One
U-shaped spring shackle is used
throughout Bodies of the new car are
of all-steel construction. The cars Of
the large six line have automatic CLUTCH

TAG TIME LIMITS
VARY IN STATES
Old License Plates Legally
dead" in 20 Juris-
dictionS.

While 1882 automobile license plates
are now legally dead" In l9 States and
the District Of Columbia, the American
Automobile Association announced today
that motorists in other States have
additional time for securing 1888 tags.
The A. A. A. statement was made
on basis Of telegraphic reports from
State Motor Vehicle and Highway De-
partments in connection with its an
nual summary of State registration and
license laws affecting passenger cars
The national motoring body listed the
States which have changed final car
registration dates to other than Decem-
ber 81, or have granted days of grace"
by executive or administrative orders
and the final date 1882 tags become

Pointing out that its 1888 summary
discloses more uniformity in the regis
tration and license laws of the various
States. the A. A. A. said:
Forty States and the District OF
Columbia now register motor vehicles
on calendar year basis, which means
the expiration dates for license plates
on the car are almost universally the
same.
"Forty-four States and the District
of Columbia require two license plates.
The other four States, namely Ala
barna, Florida, Mississippi and Okla
homa, require only one plate.
while the minimum age limit for
operators Of motor vehicles varies from
IL to l8 years, there is definite trend
toward fixing 16 years as the age at
which youngsters are first allowed on
the highways. The minimum age limit
in the various States are: Twelve years

PRESSEPRA|SED
BY AUTO INDUSTRY
CroWding of Show AisIes
Held Due to News
Stories.
by w. A. JAMES.

Assistant Sales Manager. Hudson Motor
Car Co.
AS these annual show periods mark
a milestone along our path, it is fitting
that at these times We of the auto
mobile industry, should pay tribute to
the press, which has so faithfully fol-
lowed and reported the progress Of the
automobile industry since its inception.
While automobile ownership has long
since ceased to be matter of distinc-
ton, nevertheless the automobile still
continues and always will continue to
be one Of the leading matters of popu-
lar interest.
Next TO the weather the automobile
probably forms the most common sub
ject Of conversation among groups in
the home. club. pullman smoking rooms
and wherever groups are apt to con-
gregate. The material furnished for
these automobile discussions is in the
news OF the industry as published in
the daily papers. Nothing is followed
more closely by our younger generation
than stories about the development of
new cars. New accomplishments. new
records, new feats Of performance and
endurance are all reported and eagerly
followed and the fact that the news
papers have seen fit to cover thoroughly
the advancement of this industry has
been in itself an inspiration which has
spurred the industry to greater efforts.
The progress made in our cars would
not have been made possible without
public interest and public interest
would not have been possible without
the cooperation of the newspapers.
Therefore, We say that at this time
of the year, when the shows again be-
come focal centers of interest. it is in
the newspapers that the public will
read Of these new models. 1t is due
to stories in the newspapers that they
will throng the aisles Of the shows and
it is no more than fitting that We, Of
the industry, should express our ap-
probation.

motor mounting. The car has free
wheeling. synchro-mesh transmission
and silent second gear. A "starterator"
replaces the usual starting button. This
is a device which causes the motor
starter to engage simply by pressing the
accelerator pedal. Automatic spark
control has been built in to replace the
old manual control, and the control
button has been replaced by an
automatic thermostatic control. The
"octane selector" is a control on the
distributor which advances or retards
the spark, according to the grade of
fuel used This is said to enable the
driver to get the highest efficiency from
al grades Of fuel. The method of en-
gine mounting is called the "sta-namic"
balancer. Four points of support carry
the engine, with the whole weight car
ried on two lateral supports. Front
and rear supports carry no weight, but
act as stabilizers. Prevention of vibra-
ton, while at the same time rigid
mounting is maintained, is claimed for
the new method.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENTS
OFTEN NEEDED FOR CAR
At Seasons When Carburetor Is
|. Changed Plates Should
Be Gone Over.

From time to time 1t is necessary to
adjust the clutch control mechanism Of
the car to compensate for various other
conditions In the cars other units. Ad-
justment to take care Of wear on the
clutch facing is the most frequent need
However, If the clutch Is readjusted
in any way it usually is necessary to
change the control mechanism to match.
Naturally if the clutch Is refaced it will
be necessary to make a recheck Of the
automatic feature, since the plates will
engage sooner.
At seasons when the carburetor Is
changed there will be need OF changes
in the adjustment Of the clutch control
Especially disturbing to the action Of
the control is any variation in idling
speed.
One point that is seldom considered
is the effect of dragging brakes on the
action of the clutch. It is impossible to
get smooth start If the brakes inter-

DODGE

Dodge offers two new lines different
in body styles and outlines from the
1882 cars-longer, lower and more
stream-lined. The cars are of six
cylinder and eight-cylinder types and
incorporate number of innovations.
They are said to be the first to have
"air-wheel" equipment as standard. and
also have automatic clutch, free wheel
ing and silent gears An adaptation
Of reamlining is used in the bodies,
with radiators slanting to curves near
the bottom. The skies come on q wheel
base of l11A inches. with an engine
said to deliver IS horsepower. The
power plant Is mounted in rubber.
A new system Of spring suspension
secures the rear end of the springs to
U-shackles arranged to permit the
shackles to oscillate freely with every
spring movement. A new "cross-steer-
ing" mechanism is in use to minimize
shimmy and steering wheel fight" Hy-

Water May Be Trapped.

Here's something to worry about II
you are one Of those who have added
anti freeze without bothering to have
the radiator thoroughly tested and
cleaned out:
Service men have discovered that oc-
casionally one or two radiator tubes, or
q section Of a honeycomb type of core
may become clogged. The water
trapped In them naturally does not
have anti-freeze mixed with 1t. When
the mercury goes down the water In
these blocked sections freezes, expands
and spoils your party completely.

SIGNS HELD POINTING
TO BUSINESS REVIVAL
Public Advised to Spend Delib.
erately Instead of
Swiftly.
BY H. S. VANCE,


President. Rockne Motors Corporation.
The forthcoming year will be en-
tightening on the buying acumen Of the
American people. All signs point to a
general revival of business Prices are
at rock bottom Savings are being
taken into the market places. Salaries
are flowing more freely through the regu-
lar channels of business. Merchandise
Is being moved. Almost everybody be-
lieves the end Of the depression has
come and America is staggering to her
feet
This is time when everybody should
spend carefully. A yardstick Of value
should be placed on everything pur-
chased. Low prices should be taken
with grains of salt-the worth of the
desired article should be examined with
caution. Wise Americans will spend
deliberately, rather than swiftly. SPEND
ing will hurry us on the way to good
times; of that there can be no doubt.
But unwise spending will lead us
nowhere.
This is especially true in the auto
mobile markets. It is only necessary to
study the cars at the current automo-
bile show to understand the great need
of caution.

CLUTCH COLLAR HELD
MOST TROUBLESOME
When Throwout Is Self-Oiling
Type It Often Receives Wrong
fabrication.

1t is generally agreed that the throw
out collar is the most troublesome part
Of the clutch. That this should be 50 is
entirely reasonable. for 1t Is under spe-
cial strain every time the clutch Is en-
gagged or disengaged. It Is also badly
abused
When. the throwout is of the self
lubricating type it is often damaged
through the owners habit of oiling it.
If of the type requiring lubricant ex-
perience demonstrates that it receives
more than a fair share of neglect.
Often the collar gives a squeaking
noise or a rattle because Of wear within
itself. 1t may not be possible to cure
this with grease or oil. Some ~ pes have
a tendency to become disS@sembled.
When this happens. of course, the clutch
pedal does not disengage the clutch.
Should q break occur the car can be
driven by switching OF the motor when
obliged to stop and by starting in low
gear with the aid Of the self-stArter.
which cranks the motor and pulls the
car at the same time.
