buster and an oil can. To be thor
oughly up-to-date one should be able
to reach for a can Of upholstery
cleaner or something to keep the
chrome trimmings bright. White wall
tires should be treated to q special
cleanser. In the makeup cabinet for
the car there should also be can Of
touch-up black, not to mention tar
remover, top dressing and some wind
shield and glass cleaning fluid.
It has nothing to do with what you
give the kiddies when they have in
dulged too freely in sweet meats, so 1t
might be well to have brief picture
of what is meant by caster as it re-
lates to automobiles. The front axle
Of the car Is tilted In such way that
the front wheels set forward q little
somewhat like the casters at the base
o. furniture. Since there are springs
interposed between the axle and the
cars frame 1t is apparent that the
caster angle changes from time to
time. It always changes as the cars
springs weaken and sag. This Is one
reason why steering becomes less sat-
isfactory as the car ages.
Now II the brakes are suddenly ap-
piled when the car is travelling fast
the springs may twist enough to cause
the axle to develop what it known as
reverse caster. That Is, the tilt is the
other way. This may be serious enough
to cause the front wheels to go into
q shimmy. Some sad pictures Of dire
disaster are painted for the motorist
in an effort to urge more frequent in
spection of the steering layout, but this
is often over-emphasized. Some cars
do not have any caster at all and there
are others which have been sent from
the factory with a reverse caster as
part of the regular design.
The thing to watch out for is any
great variation from the original caster
angle. The only way to know this is
to have the front end Of the car reg
ularly inspected on those modern ma
chimes designed for the purpose.
You ladies who like to have things
spick and span ought not overlook
equipping the car with q couple of
rubber floor mats. Some Of the car
makers carry these mats in stock cut
to fit the car, but where this Is not
true it is an easy matter to have stock
rubber mating cut to 1T. Accessory,
rubber and hardware stores usually
carry such mating. 1t should be used
In stormy weather and then carried
under the regular floor mat when the
car is on exhibition.

It's too bad service men cannot be

to the extent of giving mechanics a

any wonder that service men often
fail to provide the correct answers
right of the reel. Sometimes If an
owner would 60 back to her usual
service people for second trial, in
stead Of shopping around, things would
be a lot more satisfactory. Many
mechanics tell me they often think
of the solution of knotty problem

Truck Sales Increasing.
Nothing testifles better to the i'm
provement Of business throughout the
country than the mounting sales Of
trucks
Registrations of new trucks for the
first four months of the year indicate
that total sales for 1884 will surpass
100000. In other words, one out of
every eight cars sold this year will
carry a body mounted for mercantile
purposes
To show the improvement in truck
sales, it is only necessary to cite
March registrations in 80 States. The
total was 24,059, against 7,476 last
year. This group Of States accounted
for approximately rs per cent of the
truck registrations for March last year.

Conference Record Foreseen.
The largest gathering Of represent
atives Of the aviation industry in the
nine-year history Of the annual air
craft engineering research conferences
of the National Advisory Committee
| for Aeronautics Is expected at the 1884
conference at Langley Field, Hampton,
Va, May 20.
Some of the greatest engineering
progress in aviation history has been
made during the past year and the
conference is to be a means of con-
solidating this progress and preparing
for further advances during the COM
ing year.
The past year has witnessed engi-
neering progress little short Of marvel
GUS, in the light of previous history.
In the opinion Of aviation leaders,
there has been greater advancement
in the speed and efficiency Of air
transport planes within the past year
than in the preceding 16 years.
Air transport planes Of today are
travelling more than twice as fast
with the same loads and with the
same or, in some cases as much as q
third, less horsepower, as the equiva-
lent planes Of q year ago. Elimina-
ton Of the nose motor In tri-motored
planes, perfection of streamlining and
more efficient location Of wing en-
gines, is responsible for this aston
ishing progress. Credit for the bulk
of the research work on streamlining
and location of wing engines, a de-
cisive factor in the progress Of the
past year, goes to the National Ad-
visory Committee for Aeronautics and
the work Of its experts in the great
wind tunnels Of Langley Field.
Outstanding figures in American
aviation are to be present at this
years conference, among them Col
Charles A. Lndbergh, Maj. James H
Doolittle, Orville Wright, Maj. Gen
Benjamin D. Foulois, Rear Admiral
Ernest J. King, Brig. Gen. Henry c.
Pratt, Eugene L. Vidal. director of
aeronautics. Department Of Com
merce, and heads of all the great
aviation laboratories and design de-
partments and leaders Of Federal and
civil aviation. It Is indicated by ad-
| vance registration that more Of the
prominent people in the industry will
be present this year than at any pre-
Wous conference.
The representatives and officials Of
the conference are to leave Washing
