Improvement in Fuel Makes
Possible Increased
Engine Efficiency.

Spectacular innovations in the
body and chassis designs of 1884
automobiles, heralded by catchy
phrases such as "knee action"
weight distribution" "Streamlin-
ing" and "airflow." have so cap
tured the motorists imagination
that he has almost forgotten equally
significant improvements to be
found under the hoods of this years
cars. OF these, a continuation of
the trend toward increased COM
preston ratios is one Of the most
important, according to the belief
of DR.. r. E. Wilson, vice-president
in charge Of research for the
Standard Oil Company.
According to data available at
this time, though subject to minor
changes in the few instances of
models not yet announced. seven
teen well-known makes of cars
average a compression ratio Of 81
to l in the 1894 models" DR.. Wilson
stated. This represents an in
crease of nearly 0.5 ratio over the
average of the same cars in 1888
and IL over 1881. This trend indi-
Gates a general advance in efficiency
of engine design.
''ThiS greater efficiency in the de-
sign of automotive engines is made
possible mainly by the sharp inn
provement in motor fuels this past
year, both in volatility and anti
knock qualities. In fact, in recent
years the quality of gasoline has
outstripped the ability OF many
automotive engines to realize all Of
the advantages inherent in the fuel.
Recognizing this, automotive engi-
nees this year have taken steps to-
ward rectifying that deficiency by
increasing the compression ratios
in the new cars.
1.-THE increased octane rating in
regular grades of gasoline achieved
last year makes gasoline suitable
for most high compression motors
available at lower average prices
than ever before.
1.-THE general advance in compress
sion ratios, even among low priced
cars, makes use of a gasoline of low
octane value unpleasant and mad
visable, whether the consideration
be economy or performance. Ethyl,
of course, still remains the ultimate
in motor fuel, and continues to re-
ceive the exclusive recommendation
of at least two manufacturers Of
high priced cars having particularly
high compression ratios.
"Other factors being equal, it is
generally true that the higher the
compression ratio of an engine the
higher the octane value, or anti
knock rating of fuel required"

Cooperating with these officials
and the show committee, many of
the dealers have been able to dis

the big shows, even though in most
lines there is a limited number of
show cars due to recent strikes at
the factories which tied up produc-
ton.

You'll find 1888 models and then
on back till st knew you when," so
it is entirely what your budget die
tateS.
Talking with many automobile
dealers of Indianapolis and being in
daily contact with them, has taught
me that the used car stocks receive
serious consideration and thought.
The used car arrives and then is
subjected to the scrutinizing eye of
the used car manager. If the tires
are not up to standard, they are re-
placed. If the finish is worn, the
car is refiniShed. Then the motor
is tuned up, and if it needs new
parts, they are put in. So on down
the line in shops this goes on daily,
so that the buyer will receive an
honest representation and many
miles of service from the purchase.
After ali, they say we are all
driving used cars so that what one
is looking for is transportation and
that is exactly what the used car
offers, namely thousands of miles
of unused transportation. On all
late models a certain time limit is
given on service, which is all out
lined carefully to the customer at
the time of the purchase.
The dealer comments that in or
der to give the buyer full worth he
anticipates needs.
Financing Made Easier
The finance companies have kept
step and submitted low rates that
makes the owning of used trans
portation matter that can be adj
justed to whatever your income per-
mitS.
SO if the buying of used car is
your necessity, don't overlook paying
a visit to any dealer handling this
merchandise. From observation,
and hearing experiences Of many
used car owners, one has COM
Portable feeling in recommending
Marion county reconditioned cars
and dealers of integrity who handle
them.

SIGNALS TO Be
new PRODUCTS
Former City Man Among
Members of Recently
Created Firm.

By Times Special
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 7-Several
\ former automobile executives,
nationally known, have Incorporated
a new company here for the pro-
duction of a new signaling device
for motor cars.
These men are H. o. Smith, for
mer president of the Premier Motor
Manufacturing Company, Indianap-
oils, the c.. and j. Tire Company,
and chief of the automobile divi-
sion of the United States depart
ment of commerce; Howard E. Cof-
fin, for many years engineering
vice-president of the Hudson Motor
Car Company, and William B.
Mayo, formerly directing engineer
of the airplane division of the Ford
Motor Company. These men and
number of others with wide connec-
lions in the automotive industry
have formed a company known as
the Turn Signal Corporation.
The growing extent of legislation
requiring signaling devices has re-
suited from the startling record of
the insurance companies of fatal
tiles and injuries in accidents caused
by faulty signaling or failure to
signal in turning. The motor We
hicle administrators are taking the
stand that hand signaling prior to
turning is not dependable. More
over ventilated windows at times
make hand signaling inconvenient
with the result that motorists give
no indication of their intention to
turn.
Several states already have passed
legislation requiring some signaling
device to be turned on, preferably
electrically, from fifty to one hun
dred feet before making a turn. At
present these laws apply to CONNER
ciaI vehicles but the indication is
that they will soon be extended to
passenger vehicles.

II attendance at the automobile
show continues through the rest OF
this week in proportion 10 that
registered the first two days, this
years attendance will break all rec
ords. This is the general opinion
among the officials Of the Indian
apolis Auto Trade Association.
According to figures announced at
the time this article went 70 press,
Saturday and Sunday paid attend
ance exceeded the same days OF
last year almost $50 per cent, and
despite the fact that this years
show opened almost eight hours
later than last year.
The Sunday afternoon crowd
which divided its time between
viewing the various exhibits, lOung-
ing around listening to the orches-
ira and partaking of refreshments,
brought back memories Of other
years when the automobile business,
like most every other industry was
enjoying very BOOu IlIIleS.
PushmObiIe Race Attracts
With the pushmobile races as an
added attraction Monday night
along with Louie loves orchestra,
the turnStileS hummed again. In
fact. there was a merry crowd in
deed when the half pint" pilots
took their seats in their miniature
racers to line up for the start of
the first heat. Each of the two
races had six entries and thrills
were plentiful before the winner
was waved down.
TOnight's program will be fea-
tured by another pushmobile race
which from present reports prom
Uses to be more thrilling and holly
contested than the other.
These races are scheduled to be-
gin at 8. Prizes will be awarded
by Cannon Ball" Baker and wild
Bill" Cummings.
As was true at the national auto
mobile shows in New York and Chi
cago. crowds attending the Indian
apOlis show are not merely going
for curiosity, but are interested in
the new cars to the point that
many sales have been made at
sight.
r. H. Losey. president of the
trade association. cited instance
after instance of city and out-of-
town visitors at the show who came
in and after looking at the cars
in the price field in which they
were interested placed their orders.
Dealers Encouraged
This is not only encouraging to
we dealers who have placed our
time. money and efforts into making
the show a success, but at the same
time. is a pretty good indication
that the public is in a buying frame
of mind and will replace many old
cars now on the highways and
streets. with new ones during the
coming MONTHS Mr.. Losey asserted.
Aside from the array of beautiful
new car models, one of the things
b that attracted the writer was the
midget model automobile with rae
ing car lines, which is being showed
by Cannon Ball" Baker, that jovial
old master Of croSS-cOuntry auto
mobile racing fame. This miniature
model is named after the old mas
ter" and Is known as Cannon Ball

years, one can't help but envy the
