TROUBLE IN STARTING
TRACED TO TECHNIQUE
Press Button Before Turning on
Ignition Is Found Efficient
Method.

If you are troubled by having the
starter motor hesitate when trying to
crank the engine maybe it is because
you do not make good contact when
pressing the starter button. If this is
the situation, you can prove it to your
own satisfaction by trying a different
way of cranking. Press the starter
button before switching on the igni-
ton. Nothing. of course, happens when
the starter button is pressed until the
ignition switch is closed, but this order
of doing the job results in better
cranking. The explanation is that by
closing the contact at the starter but
ton the subsequent completion of the
circuit when the ignition switch is
turned to the ION" position results in
a better path for the current. The ig-
milton switch make better contact.

A giant unseen assembly line"
reaches into the far corners of the
world for the materials that make the
final product of American industry
the finest in the world.
This vast conveyor system YIELDS
mines, farms, ranches and forests
into a single unit with factories
which convert natural resources into
the myriad products essential to pres
ent-day life. The system utllzes
great ocean-going freighters, rail and
truck transportation and not infre-
ouently the air. Each unit is vital
link in the continuous operation OF
the greatest industrial system the
world has ever known.
The units of this system are so big
and so important that they are Or
dinarily considered vast industries in
themselves. Rarely do we view the
entire structure as the coordination
of the series of big industries that
it is.
Perhaps the simplest way to catch
sight of it is through the best known
of the consumer industries, the in
dustry which has done more to shape
the character of American civilization
than any other-the automobile in
dustry.
Antim0ny From China.
The obscure miner who goes into
the ground for antimonite, in CHINA,
probably is aware that a goodly pro-
portion of his product comes to
America. But he probably has little
conception of the role it is destined
to play in the industrial picture over
here. He knows little or nothing OF
the processes through which it must
pass in order to emerge as antlmony,
nor of the importance of that metal
as an ingredient of the Babbitt metal
alloy used in main bearings and con-
Meeting rod bearings. He has no
means of realizing the Importance OF
his own contribution to one OF the
prime essentials of everyday Ameri-
can life.
The making of steel is one Of Amer
ica's basic industries. and the oe-
mands of the automobile industry &C.
count for the major portion Of the
steel output.
The basi ingredient of all steel Is
iron. Other elements are added in
varying proportions to obtain different
tvpes of steel. These elements in
clude carbon. manganese, phosphorus,
sulphur. silicon. nickel, chromium,
molvbdenum, vanadium and tung-
stem.
From plain carbon steels are made
the sheet metal for bodies, bolts, nuts,
screws. crankshafts, camshafts, con-
Meeting rods and the frame. Bumper
bars are made from steels OF higher
carbon content.
Each Plays Role.
Nickel adds toughneSs. Chromium
adds hardness. Silicon prevents cor
rosion at high temperatures. Manga
nese adds strength. Molybdenum i'm
proves both toughness and strength.
Vanadium increases resistance to
shocks. These elements come from
many States of the United States and
from Canada and South Africa as
we'll
In the same way, the rubber that
is grown on the great plantations OF
India and South Africa is destined to
be worked into various products at
the big rubber factories of the Nation.

Buyer of New Car
Gets More Value
Now Than in 1926.

The 1888 automobile is an out
standing value as compared with
previous years. On the basis of
car weight alone the 1888 new
car purchaser gets s162 in value
for each dollar he would spent il
1926, a manufacturing authority
states.
This figure does not take into
account the infinite improve
ments made in cars in the last
II years by the engineer, the
metallurgist and the designer. 1t
puts no dollar value on the many
intangibIes of progress having to
do with comfort, convenience and
safety.
It reckons only with the actual
mass in the car, comparison OF
weight alone, with no credit for
lighter, stronger and safer alloys
now in general use.

Wool from the vast sheep country

Turpentine finds its way through the
paint-manufacturing industry to take
its place with other transformed raw

Sand and Soda for Glass.
Sand and soda are ingredients of
tn, safety glass which passes through
the vast factories to be included finally

tires. Its principal use is in cushion
ing various parts of the car against
vibration. achieving quietness Lead

paint and glass. Large quantities are
al , used in storage batteries.
Goats and hogs furnish necessary
elements of the upholstery. Flax
furnishes the linseed oil used in paints
and also in core oil. which is mixed
with sand in the foundries. Cow
hides provide the leather required
for upholstery. gaskets and oil seals
Cotton is basis for nitrocellulose
products, such as Duco and safety

and other derivatives used in paints
and lacquers.
Pure copper is used in the electrical

A lull in the output of automobile;
and trucks is Invariably reflected ir
a slowing down of the tempo in 6
score or more of allied lines. De-
creased activity would necessitate SLOW
ing the line throughout the greaI
manufacturing plants, throughout the
mines and forests and ranches which
supply the factories with raw ma
terials, and throughout the vast trans
portation network which moves tht

All along the line the various units
are interdependent. Their mutua
productivity rests upon the well-beins
of one another. The Importance o.

far-fiung system of materials supply

FREQUENT OIL CHECK
MAY AVOID TROUBLES
Moments Lifting of Hood May
Reveal Broken Line to Filter
or Leaky Plate.

The Idea of being too sure the en-
gine does not need oil is one that may
lead to trouble. While it may be true
that the engine is not using up any
more oil than you think it is. a mo-
nlent's lifting the hood may reveal a
broken oil line to the oil filter. If the
filter splits open it will allow the oil to
escape rapidly. Also loose valve cover
plates will leak oil freely.
One of the most dangerous hills is
comparatively short one which fol-
lows directly after long decline.
Drivers overhead the brakes on the
first hill and then find themselves in
trouble when they have to stop going
down the second one. Remember that
the internal expanding brake becomes
less efficient as it is overused, as con-
trasted with the older external con-
tracing brake which seized and burned
out.
If there is any question about shift
ing into lower gear on an upgrade
always make the change above 20 miles
per hour. Modern second gears are
not made for pulling below that speed

HIGH GAS TAX RATES
PROTESTED AT PARLEY
Business in Southeast Seen Suf-
fering Because of "Exc essive'
Levies on Fuel.

Business in the Southeastern States
Is suffering because of excessively high
gasoline tax rates, Baird H. Markham
of New York. director of the Amer
tcan Petroleum Industries Committee,
told delegates at an Interstate Confer
ence on Automotive Taxation held in
Atlanta, Ga. The conference was
called by the American Petroleum In
dustries Committee, and was attended
by chairmen and secretaries of State
Petroleum Industries Committees in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina and Tennessee.
The highest gasoline tax rates in
the United States are to be found in
the region bounded by the Atlantic,
the Gulf, the Mississippi. and the
Mason-Dixon line, where Federal and
State levies range from cents to
cents gallon, Mr.. Markham said. Va
cation resorts, hotels, restaurants,
stores, garages, filling stations, tire
shops, tourist camps, and other busi-
nesses would gain by lowering the
high gasoline tax barrier which is now
frightening many desirable tourists and
visitors away, he asserted.

Ownership of motor vehicles in the

classified as passenger cars and 4,4O0,-
600 as commercial vehicles.
Registrations in the United States
accounted for 70 per cent of the A.
100000 motor vehicles in service
throughout the world.
Domestic use of motor vehicles, as
measured by gasoline consumption set
new record during the 12-month
period with $4,000, 100000 gallons OF
gasoline being consumed in motor We
hicles.
Eighteen thousand motor buses were
produced by the industry during the

Carry Credentials Along.

Due to the increasing activities OF
Western States in stopping tourists
at border towns, motorists are ad-
vised to carry their licenses, motor
club membership cards and other
identification data. Border patrols are
operated largely to count tourists and
to keep out undesirables, but creden-
tials are always handy.
