CITIZENS BACK

The practice Of selecting as dele

wrong, both in practice and princi'

circumstances, could not be clasSed

Approval was voted to the action

entirely too much power to the

What to Do in Tight Place
EngrOsses american AutOist

Having learned a great deal within
the last few years about what to do
in a pinch, the American motorist
naturally turns his attention to the
business of learning what to do should
he be caught in a tight place when
driving his car. Motoring isn't lin
tied to SO dramatic situations, and
the provident driver Of today tries to
prepare himself for as many event.
uahties as possible.
He wants to know what to do when
pursued. Skidding still bothers him
especially as there are number OF
new varieties. He is interested In
the procedure to be taken when, and
If, certain vital parts of the car should
fail him. In q jam the motorist of
today wants to be ready with So
luton.
His quest for information is bringing
to light many plans successfully
adopted by others. There is, for in
stance, the story of the driver OF
delivery car who checked the speed
Of his car, when the brakes failed,
by scraping the right wheels against
the curb. Faced with the necessity
of making the quickest possible stop
q young woman forgot about the hand
brake, pressing with both feet on
the foot pedal. The car stopped per-
fectly. Had she used the hand brake,
which applied only to the rear wheels,
she would have forced the rear wheels
to slide. Car weight tips forward in

hill remember that with both ma
chimes going the same direction the
impact will not be as severe as 1t
would be under some other conditions.
The breaking Of springs on differ
ent types of cars brings different re-
results. If the steering apparatus Is
interfered with, should front spring
break, the best step is to apply the
brakes. using the hand brake If 1t
operates only through the rear wheels.
One of the front brakes may be out
of action because Of the trouble at
the front of the car, thus increasing
the tendency Of skidding should the
other front brake be used.
If a car starts to go into a skid
in the opposite direction after the
first skid has been checked. the steer
ing wheels have been cut too sharply.
Swing them instantly In the opposite
direction, but not as sharply as the
first time, otherwise the car will start
skidding in the original direction
again.
What you would do in an emergency
depends largely on what you know
in advance. Discussion Of these topics
in motoring circles helps build up
surprise resistance" Take your
chances now-in speculation - not

HIGHER COMPRESSION
SEEN FOR STOCK CARS

Compression ratios in 1887 will be
lower in racing cars and higher In
stock cars, according to B. r. Jones,
field representative Of the Ethyl Gaso-
line Corp.
This seeming paradox" Mr.. Jones
points out, is brought about. on the
one hand, by the insistent general de-
mand for improved performance and
greater economy and, on the other. by
a ruling that the fuel used in next
years Memorial day classic at the In
dianapolis Speedway must come from
the same pumps that serve the motor
ing public" In racing circles, he says
a tremendous loss Of power is foreseen
During the past three years the
quantity Of fuel consumed by each car
at Indianapolis has been limited" Mr.
Jones explains, "but there has been nc
regulation as to the type or quality OF
gasoline used. For example. In the
1884 race the allowable fuel was As
gallons, in 1885 it was 42n gallons and
in the 1885 race it was only 371s
gallons"

an abrupt stop, rear-wheel traction
becoming lighter.
Experience demonstrates that when
it Is apparent the car is going to
run into the rear Of another vehicle,
it is best to strike squarely and not
try to veer of to the right or left.
Less damage will be done If the
bumper, rather than the tenders,
strikes. If 1t becomes evident that
your car is about to be struck from
the rear, and there is no danger in
having your car move forward, re-
member to release the brakes. This
will lessen the shock.
There are many reasons why drivers
should be schooled in meeting emer-
gencies of night driving. 1t Is ad-
visable to have the doors locked from
the inside when driving about the
city, especially If stopping for traffic
signals. Keep the driving window
well up when stopping. If someone
jumps on the running board 1t is best
to start to drive fast. The culprit
begins to think of his own safety,
knowing that If he interferes with
the driver he may endanger himself.
One driver who sounded his horn was
promptly shot.
A woman who was accosted by Q
vagrant started to speed up, made q
sharp turn, simultaneously swapping
open the door. The intruder was
tossed of to the street. Since he
had pointed a gun at her this action
was interpreted as a clever and nee
essary self defense.
Many drivers seem to fear the con-
sequences should the motor stall when
they are just starting downhill in
! free wheeling. The first step Is to
restart the motor, meanwhile check
ing the cars speed with the hand
brake. II the motor doesn't 60 into

and bring the car to standstill. 1t
is not good policy to apply the brakes
gradually when relying on them for
a halt on a hill. Get results from
them before they heat up, expand and
become less efficient.

Automobile shows have become so
established an institution and con-
tinue to be 30 intriguingly interesting
in their exhibitions that few show
visitors will feel the urge to inter-
rupt their Sightseeing long enough to
speculate on some of the less obvious
yet powerful factors that have helped
to make the shows what they are.
Everybody sees glistening new
bodies luxurious interiors, new safety
features undreamed Of as recently as
a year ago; it is self-evident that the
cars give more than the thriftiest
buyer could ask.
The automobile show visitor gifted
with Imagination will see more than
that, he will see armies Of mechanics
and assembly workers employed in
factories, he will sense the tremendous
opportunities for dealers and sales
men who will market the cars, he will
perceive q far-flung line Of feeder in
dustries giving employment to many
more persons working raw materials
into parts and supplies. he will see
prosperity spread over wide areas
through millions Of dollars spent on
the retooling Of plants for each new
seasons product, and additional mil
lions on transporting the new cars
from factories to the corners Of the
country and beyond.
How much Of the progress that we
see pictured in these splendid exhibi-
tions has been fostered by news
papers and periodicals and by the
advertising disseminated by them? A
good deal, I venture to say.
It is because the automobile show
focuses the attention Of q large part
of the population on latest motor car
achievement that I take this oppor-
tunity to acknowledge the important
role played by the press in making
motoring the well-nigh universal
mode of American transportation.

VARIED OCCUPATIONS
PRODUCE NEW CARS

Many strange crafts, identified by
names unrecognizable to the general
public, have played important roles
in creation OF the sleek new cars on
display at the automobile shows
throughout the country.
Mossers, strippers, sanders, seamers,
upSetters, tack-off men and even
"gunmen" are among the different
trade classificatjons In the occupa-
tional listings just compiled at the
new De Soto plant in Detroit.
Highly-skilled woodcarvers, clay
modelers, artists, upholsterers and
hundreds of other technicians are em-
ployed in direct car-designing capaci-
ties at the factory. Employment ex-
perts estimate that If producers Of
raw materials were taken into consid-
Grafton, the list Of different occupa-
tions contributing to a single car
would run into thousands.

Then switch on the ignition and pro-
ceed in the usual manner.
Remember that the hand crank may
slip out Of position and give you a
bad shake-up even though the engine
remains calm. II merely desiring to
check timing, always remove the spark
plugs. That will relieve compression
and ease the work Of turning over
the shaft. Where no crank is pro-
vided the engine is timed by jacking
up the rear and turning one of the
rear wheels. This is best done with
the aid Of a special turner that Is
cranked from up front where the me-
chanic can watch the valves and the
distributor rotor.

New Car Seats.

One Of the welcome features OF
the 1887 cars is the appearance of
adjustable front seats which not only
move forward and backward to suit
the comfort of the driver but which
also alter the tilt of the seat cushion
and back to provide the right pos
ture for each position. The trick
is easily accomplished by making the
seat base roll on an inclined track.
