must be bought, new dies must be
made, new tools and new products Of
related industry are necessary ap-
propriations to call attention to some
thing new and more useful, the fruit Of
mans ingenuity.
Activities in a thousand directions
are set up by the introduction of new
models. The result of these activities
is that money circulates and every
body has something to do and gets
some Of the money for doing 1t.
1t is all founded upon confidence in
each other and in basic institutions.
The ideal attainment is not to curtail
new models, but to produce enough

SOAP CHECKS NOISES
I'm ANTI-SWAY BAR
oiling Rubber and Bronze Bush
ings at Ends Will Damage

The anti-sway bar used on num-
Der of cars will need special attention
IT, and when, it starts to squeak or
eroan. On the earlier models at
least, there was no provision for lubri-
cation. In fact, oiling the rubber
and bronze bshings at the ends of
the bar will actually damage them.
Factory recommendations by way of
a cure are unusual. They call for
removal of the bushings and washi- :
them with yellow soap. This, in
cidentally, isn't bad remedy for
other rubber bushed parts which sud-
denly become noisy.
This recalls an old trick that was
used on earlier cars to compensate
for badly worn universal joints. In
stead of trying to lubricate them in
the usual way, the stunt was to fill
them with water pump grease, which
was a close cousin to soap. This sub
stance took up the slack, provided
enough fabrication to prevent squeal-
ing and asked the owner to run no
risk of extra wear, since the joints
were in need of replacement anyway.

Scientifically refined lubricants have

1t is advisable, however. for motor
lists to exercise some special care when
breaking in their new cars during cold
weather, according to E. F. Hallock,
chief automotive engineer of the Soc
ony-Vacuum Oil Co. He says:
THE working surfaces in modern
engines are finished with much more
smoothness and with far greater ac-
curacy than ever before as the result
of the development of new methods of
machining and measuring surface fin
fish.
These fine surfaces and closer fits
mean quieter operation, greater econ

Innovation and improvement are at

That is why the new models at the
automobile show are fundamentally
connected with the energy that keeps
the wheels of business turning. Some
thing new attracts the attention of
buyers; money in circulation keeps
factories busy; busy factories draw
upon other industries and provide work
for people; people who work have
money with which to buy new things.

Reaetometer Let's Drivers
Know About Brakes
Application.

To the motorist boast, Il can stop
on dime!" the Keystone Automobile
Club retorts, Tell that to the reacto-
meter!"
The reactometer, explains Edward
P. Curran, safety director OF the CLUB,
is. one of the testing devices in Key
stones Safety Test Trailer, put into
service by the club in its campaign
for accident reduction. 1t records the
reaction time" of drivers-the period
elapsing before actual application OF
brakes in sudden emergency-and in
the last two weeks it has brought
home to hundreds of motorists the
need for constant care in the operation
of their cars.
1t has shown that some drivers re-
ouire as much as one second to
apply the brakes when the green light
of the reactometer turns to red. In
! that period car travelling 40 miles per
hour covers 50 feet. At 90 miles per
hour the distance is 88 feet. To this,
of course, must be added the average
braking distance to get the actual
stopping distance.
Thus, it is explained, the motorist
with one-second reaction time must
have 168 feet in which to bring his
car to a stop when confronted by
sudden hazard while travelling at 40
miles per hour and 1856 feet while
travelling at so.
Many of those who have taken the
examination have reacted in less than
half a second, which materially re-
duces their stopping distance said
,Curran, but the fact remains that
even with the fastest reaction, the
best brakes and perfect road conditions
it takes time to stop a car and the
drivers who boast ability to stop or
a dime are only fooling themselves.
Alert. heads-up driving is the lessor

DIP STICK GAUGE
ON OIL DUAL TEST.
Permits Check on Efficiency
of Filter as Well as
Finding of Level.

When carmakers discarded the cork
float method of registering the engines
oil level they did not realize that they
were inaugurating new era in the
annals of car care and fabrication.
The bayonet, or dip stick" method
of checking the oil level seemed to be
merely simplifled way of reading the
level with less risk of error, but in view
of the latest developments it looks as
if the dip stick would revolutionize the
entire subject.
1t is likely that foresighted engineers
who originally adopted the dip stick
realized that this would lead to a
closer check on oil quality. But they
certainly did not anticipate that it
could be used to check the efficiency
Evening star., 1937-10-31
of the oil filter and other engine ac-

of the oil filter and other engine ac-
cessories.
The history of the dip stick has not
been without its dark chapters, how
ever. Perhaps from some of these en-
gineers will be able to find new ways
to simplify and safeguard the car.
Motorists frequently have taken a
reading upon first withdrawal of the
stick. This invariably shows the engine
to be filled with oil. After wiping off
the stick second reading should be
taken. This alone tells the story, pro-
vided the owner inserts the stick far
enough into the engine. On one make
of car the stick shows no reading of oil
if not inserted certain way. This
has led to overfilling a number of en-
gines. AS result of this engineers
are now turning out bayonet gauges
which clearly state that the oil level
must not be above certain point.

SHEEP

One of the privileges of living in
a section where irrigation claims
but a small percentage of the land
for intensive agricultural efforts is
hat of watching activities on the
open range, the handling and NOV
ing of range stock. Last week the
sheep firm of Hooper & Bryant
moved about eight thousand head
Of sheep out of the Priest Rapids
area, which is winter range, into
Oregon, the summer range. Some
of them were destined for the rail-
road at kennewick. Sheep move
only about eight or ten miles day,
feeding as they go. Perhaps three
men will be in charge of each di-
vision during the move. This ex-
odus had four divisions with about
two thousand in each division. 1t
presents peculiar problems: Sheep
must not be allowed to merge into
other bands; water and supplies
must be carried; constant watch
must be kept for fear of leaving
scattered or struggling punches: and
great care is necessary when water
is neared and when the weather
develops an ornery streak. Dogs
and the modern version of the old
sheepherders crooks are valuable, al
most indispensable, adjuncts. And
