It Is safe rule that whatever CAD
gets are standard equipment on the
average car they are definitely benefi-
cial to its efficiency. In talking about
this at woman's club the point was
brought out that manufacturers figure
to profit by the service work on such
efficiency devices and that this often
encourages the use Of equipment that
Is not necessary. Some one who viewed
things from q more practical angle
countered with the argument that if
q manufacturer could save So on each

million and half savings instead Of
counting on future service profits.
And that's about the size of it. Which
is just another way of deciding that
what things already are on cars really
belong there.
Included In the list of efficiency de-
vices necessary to the well-being of the
modern motor is the oil filter. This
becomes clogged with dirt and abra-
sive from the motor OIL and should be
replaced at least every 10000 miles.
If this is not done there is a good
chance Of the shell springing a leak
at the bottom About three pounds
Of abrasive will collect in the average
filter over a period of q couple of
years. The fact that oil Is clean when
it goes into the motor is no reason
to jump to the conclusion that filter
ing isn't necessary. Much of the dirt
that finds its way to the oil works
down past the piston rings in the form
of carbon.
When backing or turning in a mar

TRANSPARENT RUBBER is MADE
BY STANDARDS BUREAU STAFF

The last years work Of the rubber
section of the United States Bureau
of Standards has had to do with the
study of the basic properties Of the
material rather than the practical uses
Of its products, it is stated by rubber
experts of the bureau. Work of this
character is necessary. the scientists
point out, because rubber, although it
is used extensively, is material about
which little is known. Even the
mystery of its most striking charac-
teristic, its ability to stretch, has not
been completely solved by scientists,
and much work remains to be done
before some of its more subtle qualities
are explained and its little known
forms and combinations made available
to the industry.
Among the results obtained by
bureau scientists in recent months has
been the production of rubber that Is
coloriess and transparent Another
development is the crystalization Of
rubber. Work on these projects Is in
its initial stages. and scientists are
unable to predict to what new uses this
pure rubber may eventually be put 1t

1T welcomes theory, but it is founded
on hard facts. In my opinion, the
facts Of greatest significance to in

mand for manufactured necessities has
caught up with the supply, and that
confidence, hope and the will to go
forward are uppermost in the public
mind.
The first provides a substantial out
let for products best suited to an ac-
celerated national advance. The latter
promises enthusiastic public support Of
those enlarged manufacturing and sales
programs which will hasten business
recovery, but which will not bring ex-
travagant and unwarranted increases in

SPEED FOR STARTING

There are two ways Of increasing
starting speed. One is to have the bat
terry recharged or to use booster OF
some kind to increase the amount OF
current available for the start. The
other is to have the engine lubricant
either lighter or warmer. This second
alternative includes such plans as using
break-in oil in the crankcase and in
stalling heating devices for the cooling

of possible process for manufacturing
a similar material synthetically.
The Importance of this type Of eil-
Fermentation. the bureau experts ex-
plain. lies in the fact that development
of practical products made from rubber
has far outstripped the work on its
scientific makeup. While this is not
an evil in itself, they say. it makes
impossible the Development Of new
uses for the product except by the
costly trial and error method-that Is,

than the production of the exact COM
