COrrOded Cables on
Battery Troublesome

Loose or corroded battery terminals
are a source Of hard starting troubles.
A quick test may be made by turning
on the dashlight and shaking the
battery terminals. The Pickering of
the light or Of the ammeter needle
indicates looseness. A green coating
on the terminals shows corrosion
which may also reduce or interrupt
the flow Of current.
The remedy Is to disconnect and
wash the battery terminals with am
monia and coat them with grease or
vaseline to prevent corrosion. When
tightening battery terminals, see that
the connection to the frame is tight
and clean. Tighten battery clamps.
a loose battery may jar the terminals
loose and break the battery plates or
case.

seldom being liquidated. Because Of
the disguise, motorists In these states
often are not aware Of the fact that
diversion Is going on: and fourth,
where money allocated In good faith
by the states to counties. cities, and
municipalities, for road purposes, Is
turned into other channels-some-
times with legislative authority. but
often without any warrant OF law
whatsoever.
"Only constitutional amendments
can prevent the spread Of the disease
that threatens the motor tax and
road structures. The two states that
have adopted such amendments,
namely, Missouri and Colorado, are

association declares.
At the same time. the A.A.A. warn
ed the motor tax diverting states
that the federal government is pre-
pared to "crack down" on them and
to withhold part of their regular fed
eral aid appropriations unless they
can show clean bill Of health.
This authority" said Thomas P.
Henry Of Detroit, Mich. president Of
the national motoring body. WAS
specifically conferred on the Bureau
Of Public Roads in the Hayden Cart
wright Federal Aid Authorization Bill
Of last year, and the Bureau Is deter
mined and obliged to exercise it,"
Is Unknown Sum
The A.A.A. president pointed out
that because Of devious methods, con-
cealnents, and the lack Of account
ing. 1t Is almost impossible to find out
exactly how much road money is mis-
appropriated annually. He contin-
led:
mot the least important phase OF
the declaration Of policy embodied by
congress in the Hayden-Cartwright
Act Is that it will enable the Bureau
Of Public Roads to demand access to
and to make its own accounting Of
special motor tax revenue accruing to
the states and of the expenditure of
this revenue as prerequisite to the
granting Of their full share Of federal
aid to the individual states.
"On such inadequate information
as was available in 1888, the bureau
found that 500, ,000, 900 Of special mo-
tor vehicle taxes were diverted to
other than road purposes In that year,
with more than 20 states indulging
in the practice. The figure for 1884
was closer to $200,O00,O 900. with half
the states pilfering the road fund in
one way or another.
Bares Four Methods
AT least four different methods
are used by the diversionists to ac-
complish their purpose. First, as in
Texas, for instance. where the state
constitution requires that certain
proportion of all taxes be applied to
school use: second, where, as in many
states such as New York and Ohio,
the legislatures have authorized the
use OF special motor tax revenues for
other than road purposes; third,
where other departments of state
governments borrow money from the
highway departments, such loans

OLDSMOBILE OFFERING MANY
NEW SAFETY, COMFORT IDEAS

their motoring enjoyment. They
want comfort. and above all they
want safety. We have continued to
engineer into our cars, which viii be
presented at your automobile show
March $3.50, lie finest known meth
ods Of giving you these things.
And withal Oldsmobile remains In
the low price field with its Six and
continues to produce the strai9ht
Eight In the low medium price range.
Safety Is becoming more and more
important. We offer In 1885 two cars
replete with safety features, led by
the solid steel 'turret top body BY
Fisher"
Serves Three Purposes
The new body introduces for the
first time In modern automobile man
ufacturing the steel root, serving
three purposes.
First. 1t provides q margin of safety
heretofore unavailable.
Second, 1t adds greatly to the struc-
tural strength Of the entire body.
And third, It permits Of q beauty
never before possible, when the root
contained Z fabric panel, by lending
itself to streamlining treatment
without breaking the sweep from the
front Of the body to the back.
The front Of the car Is completely
new, with narrow and higher radiator
grilles, new radiator ornaments, new
tenders and re-styled louvres.
The new Oldsmobiles are roomier,
with the front seat Of the Six more
than three inches wider than that Of
the Eight Of 1894. There Is increased
head and leg room.
The cars are easier Of access be.
cause Of large doors both front and
rear.
Both Six and Eight have seven body
models.
Engine design in the new Oldsmo-
biles remains the same in principle.
Increased power has been obtained.
chiefly through higher compression
ratios. The Six now has 90-horse-
power motor. the Eight 100.
A new type three-point engine sus-
pension Il used.
All-silent syncro-mesh transmission,
with silent shifting in all gears, again
Is an important Oldsmobile advant-
age.
One Of the major refinements Of
the motor Is In the crankshaft, where
counterbalancing has been increased
from IS per cent to IS per cent In the
Six. The most outstanding change Is
the addition Of q counterweight at
the center Of the shaft, making the
shaft heavier and sturdier.
The generators on the 1885 Olds-
mobile are Of q new type, designed to
supply the battery with the additional
efficiency needed to provide current
for the many demands made upon 1t
in these days Of electrical equipment
such as radios. heaters. cigarette
lighters and defrostsrS.
