Probably the reason so many drivers
ore down on free wheeling is because
they are not up on it.
Women who cook by gas or elec-
tricity probably have forgotten about
the damper in the pipe OF the fash
toned coal cook stove. It was like one
of the lids of the stove and was on
shaft so as to swing from a position
where it permitted all the smoke to go
up the chimney, to one where it blocked
the pipe and kept the heat in. 1t was
a very simple and effective regulator
with a convenient handle that pro-
truded through the outside of the pipe.
Remember? If you do, or If you can
visualize this rough word sketch Of the
arrangement, no one need puzzle you
when they talk about the throttle OF
your Car. 1t works in exactly the same
way and is located in the riser pipe
above the carburetor. It's below the
carburetor in some of the new cars
where downdraft fueling is used.
Backfring will scatter the coloring
matter used in some of the anti-knock
gasoline. You may see some of this
coloring matter on places where no
leakage actually exists. This also should
suggest the idea that clean motor Is
one way to avoid a fire if backfiring de-
velops.
A woman who has mastered calculus
and many French verb tells me that
though she reads the instruction book
of her car religiously she Is greatly
confused over some of the information
about the machines workings. I don't
blame her. 1t requires a person rather
familiar with cars to follow the detailed
S,,c+ fov obi yI nj
the more complicated parts. My ad-
vice would be to digest the simpler
parts of the book, such as fabrication
and hot or cold weather recommenda-
tions, and then make the book avail
able to the man who services the car
so that he can be familiar with its
special features. Keep the book in a
side pocket of the car so that you will
have it handy in case you are on tour
when some specific information regard
ing it is needed.
There's little wisdom in one of the
current novels that ought to be useful
Information to keep in the back of your
head in case of an emergency. I'm
not recommending that you try watch
ing the speedometer hit 80 when you
trot off with your brothers imported
Mercedes, but here are three things the
autnOr OF the mover mace his 1o-yedr-
old scamp do to make a magnificent
stop:
First, she remembered to steer
straight ahead rather than resort to
fancy steering. That lessened the
chance of upsetting the car. Second,
she pressed both feet on the brake
pedal and pushed for all she was worth.
Third, she did not pull up on the hand
brake and therefore did not apply too
much braking force to the rear wheels.
BY not declutching she also permitted
the motor TO help slow down the car.
Modern clutches engage over very
small arc of pedal movement. Move
the pedal very slowly through this arc
If you want smooth action from the
clutch.
I am frequently asked why it is that
manufacturers do not follow a former
custom of having a reserve tank built
into the main gas tank. so that If one

ers of Motor Vehicles.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, April 8.-The return of
legalized beer has brought a S30,000,-
900 trade opportunity to the automo-
bile makers. They calculate they can
sell between 1000 and 5000 new trucks
to the brewers right away and that fu-
ture requirements, including mainte-
$4,000, 900 annually.
Beer has relatives, too. out Of whom
the car manufacturers hope to make
money. They include the bottle max
ers, the coopers, the shipping case fac
tories and the concerns that supply
sugar and malt.
Hauling Needs Shown.
All of them will require new and
therefore specialized hauling equipment
to serve their purposes in the work for
which the brewers big 'osses" were
used two decades ago.
Hauling real beer Is no new job for
motor trucks, however. Rather 1t is
the type Of vehicle that will be new
under present conditions. When the
brewing industry first began using mo-
tor trucks to replace horse-drawn drays
fashioned, inspiring, hard-tired power
wagon unit that gave the service.
In automobile factories it was sort
Of by-product of motor car manufac-
ture. 1t was built for endurance in
hard usage and in design 1t was gas
driven imitation Of the drays and lor-
ries that it replaced.
The so-called dry period brought a
complete Transformation. With the con-
struction of paved intercity highways
over long stretches Of country came the
modernized trucking unit built to opera
ton and equipment standards compare
BILE to those of motor cars and utilizing
motor car power plants with express
speed for fast delivery.
The modernized truck now i oper-
ated In fleets by large corporations.
Delivery cost records are kept and econ

omies figured out on basis OF expert
accounting. Each trade has It's own
hauling problems, which different
types Of vehicles with special body
equipment have been designed to solve
with efficiency.
Sales executives of the truck d.
visions operated by the manufacturer
supervise cost-flnding departments that
calculate delivery expense, and on this
basis the vehicle fleets are sold.
In the bottling industry. which has
direct relationship with beer manufac-
turing, the range Of delivery expense
runs from SO cents per case TO ass
cents, depending on the season, with o
yearly average of about 16 cents. In
general, the costs are higher with small
trucks than with the big ones. The
small ones serve for retail city delivery
and the bodies usually are "showy" for
advertising reasons.
The favored type for the transporta-
ton of draft and case beer Is one that
may be loaded at the end and unloaded
from either side. Sales research has
shown that some covering like tar
paulin or roof Is essential in handling
bottled beer. because Is minutes Of sun
light will spoil the beverage.
Factors the truck designers have esti-
mated for the brewers who will use the
vehicles include capacity in full and
empty cases, pay load In pounds, maxi
mum gross weight, rear axle weight
loaded. the size of dual or single tire1
that may be needed and body dimen-
sions. They also instruct the driver On
the weight distribution Of his load 30
get maximum life from the vehicle In
continuous service.
Special Body Type.
For draft beer delivery In kegs O
particular type Of body fits the special
usage. In one load two tiers of fun
kegs are ordinarily carried on each side
OF the vehicle. Eighth" kegs, COM
monty known as "Dutchmen," arr
slowed between keg heads down the
center. Hooks may be attached at the
side of the body to permit carrying
extra kegs underneath.
The development Of tractor and
trailer hauling antedates the period
since the VolStead act and State pro-
hibition laws went into effect. Truck
sales officials believe that the trailer,
or seml-trailer, units may find use In
the bulk hauling of beer, with economy
in mind. Trailers, it is pointed out,
may not be found profitable In express
operation, but under certain conditions
they can be made to operate more
prohtably.
AS compared TO the trucks, trailers
sacrifice some speed and hill climbing
ability, although improved roads are ID
their favor.

moratorium, there will be lot OF

Enforcement Needed.
The regulation prohibiting machines
from being driven on the wrong side
of the street should be enforced. Viola
tions of this nature are particularly no
ticed when there is long line of cars
awaiting the traffic signal to change.
The offenders are generally taxicab
operators. The place to note this situa-
ton is on the east side of the White
House.
Such practice causes congestion and
Is dangerous.
bus parking in front Of fire plugs is
without reason or excuse. Operators are
supposed to remain in their vehicles at
such a time, but frequently fail to do
so. A fire might easily gain consider
able headway while the apparatus to
fight it tried to get near enough to the
hydrant.
Washington needs housing terminals
for busses, but supplying this need ap-
pears long way off.
Which Wheels Leave Ground?
The question as to which wheels Of
IN automobile leave the ground when
the car is driven fast around corner
has aroused much discussion. The
answer Is the inside wheels. Many per-
sons will deny this fact, but 1t Is true
nevertheless. Many good arguments
have arisen over this discussion.
Curves along highways are banked
OH the outside. This is done to keep
the machines from turning over. If the
inside wheels did not leave the ground
this would not be necessary.
There is a considerable smell of alco-
hol on the streets these days and it isn't |
the 80 beer. 1t is the denatured al
cohol in the radiators that the warm
days cause to boil.
A cold spell might happen along but |
1t is high time to have all radiators
drained Be sure that it Is done prop |
removed. Various non-freezing mixtures
cause slight erosion in the radiator,
necessitating thorough cleaning out.
A Long Distance Deal.
The automobile business must be
picking up. At least the following
sounds that way:

Melbourne, Australia, to j. Howard
Teagan, export manager of an auto

greeted with lows your 'ealth this
morning?" Teagan was just starting
his day and T. j. Morris of a well
known Australian commission house,
had just returned from a late supper
party tomorrow evening, or whatever
it Is they do In Melbourne around the
midnight hour
According to an official Of the Amer
ican Telephone & Telegraph Co., less
than 80 minutes were required to put
the call through from Melbourne to
Detroit. The total distance over which
the two men talked was 14,170 miles,
of which almost $4,000 was by radio
phone.
Travel Picking Up.
The -billion-dollar industry of
recreational travel, one of the last to
feel the effects of the depression, is
showing definite signs of being the first
to respond to better times, according
to the American Automobile ASSocia-
tion.
Basing its statement on study OF
the factors bearing on the outlook for
vacation travel during the season
ahead, the national motoring body de-
clared that there is every indication
that the number of Spring and Sum-
mer vacationists will be in excess Of
that for any of the last three years.
Renewed confidence among the mil
lions who have been forced to forego
play periods, reduction of hotel rates
and travel costs generally to the lowest
point within the last 10 years, scaling
down of prices at resorts and travel OBJ
jectives, revived interest in scenic and
historic areas, and lower automobile
fees in many sections where
owners have been financially unable to
operate their cars due to the high cost
of plates, were cited by the A. A. A
as among the factors indicating an in
crease in touring.
Energy Expended.
How much energy does your car ex-
pend in getting you there and back
again?
That question, says Charles M.
Upham, engineer director of the Amer
lean Road Builders Association, inf1u-
ences the amount of gasoline tax you
pay quite as definitely as does the rate
Of the levy on motor fuel.
Motorists should remember that
their annual gasoline tax payments are
the combined product Of the amount
consumed and the rate Of assessment.
In this process, Cney SnOuld give que
recognition to the fact that good roads
reduce gasoline consumption in quite
the same fashion that a smooth sur
face makes a bicycle easier to pedal.
The harder an automobile engine has to
work to accomplish given standard of
performance, the more fuel it consumes.
In other words, it takes more revolu-
tions of the crankshaft to produce a
speed of 20 miles an hour on an un-
improved road than on one that Is sur
faced. And every additional revolu-
ton takes its toll in the form of addi-
tional fuel for which, of course, the car
owner must pay both the ref1ner and
the taxing agency"
