Inspector Should Frequently Be
Made for Adjustment—Lubri- |
cation |s Best Cure, |
By WILLIAM H. STEWART, JR,
When the water pump works prop
erly all is well, but when it fails mat
ters go from bad to worse and a long
train of troubles may follow. The
eficiency of the cooling system de- |
pe.ds upon this faithful little device,
and upon it also depends the efficlency
of the engine. The engine will lose
power, the cylinders and rings may
beceme scored, and the pistons may
seize, wrecking the crankshaft and
possibly breaking the crank case.
Keep a c!gsg watch on the water
pump. Of course, the foregoing list
of troubles will not happen without
preliminary warning, so the careful
driver must be on the lookout for
stch symptoms and quick to correot
them when they occur.
The best cure for trouble is pre
vention; therefore, one must give the
water pump the required attention
and then see that it is doing its work
properly, The first detail of care is
lubrication. There should be a grease
cup on the pump-shaft bearing, since
the shaft revolves at a fairly high
rate of ‘speed and needs lubrication.
No such provision is made on some
pumps,’ as it i 3 considered that the
water working into the bearing will
Jukricate it sufficiently. Grease is
used instead of oil because it stays in
the bearing better. Ooil will run in
iwththe water and be wasted. It

Why, listen—nothing can be too speedy for the red
blooded, aggressive American.
The ingenuity of the greatest American brains, which
has fathered our greatest inventions, has had but hardly
one thing in view, and that is speed.
It was the human, American desire, for speed that
gave birth to the electric car, railroads, steamers, teleg
raphy, telephones, wireless, typewriters, adding ma
chines, aeroplanes, automobiles, motor trucks, and last,
but not least, THE QUICK TIRE SERVICE OF AT
LANTA.
Why, you don’t know the real meaning of the word
until you have tire trouble and ring up the Quick Tire
Service. No matter where you are, or the time of day or
night, you are just as near our service station as the
nearest telephone.

will also interfere with the cooling
effect and will help to rot the rubber
hose at top and bottom of radiator
and any rubber gaskets that might be
in use.
Next, see that it is working prop
erly The radiator must be filled and
the engine started in order to observe
this. Remove cap of filler opening.
Cn most cars the water can be seen
returning as it shoots into the top of
the radiator with considerable force,
But some radiator designers put a
baffleplate in frent of the return
pipe, which forces the water sideways
or down, so that it can not be seen in
motion.
Arnother test must be used here, in
fact, it may be used on any car hav
ing a pump system. It is to hold the
hard against the bottom of the radia
tor. If the bottom is hot the pump
is working; if the bottom is cold the
pump is not workirg. Normally, the
bottom of the radiator should be hot,
but not ql:flte as hot as the top. The
heat reaching the bottom is due to the
HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN
actlon of a pump which draws out
the water and so makes room for
‘more water at the top. The hot wa
ter entering at the top is continually
moving downward, making the bot
tom hot also. If the pump stops work
ing or the radiator and pipes become
clogged the hot water is not drawn
down, the draft from the fan cools the
water quickly and so the bottom of
the radiator becomes cold.
It may be questioned why the bot
tom of the radiator iz not always
cold, inasmuch as the purpose of the
radiator i{s to cool the water. But
this arises from a mistaken idea of
the functions of the radiator a.nd the
entire cooling system. The purpose is
not to cool the engine, but to pre
vent the engine from overheating.
The water leaving the radiator should
be close to boiling point, or 212 de
grees Fahrenheit. If it Ba-ats below
180 degrees the engine begins to lose
power. Thus we see that the radiator
merely gets rid of some of the heat—
not all of it.

Hull Receives Interesting Report
' '
of Drive Across Penn, in 9
.
Hours 28 Minutes.
Three hundred miles across the Stafe
of Pennsylvania from Pittsburg to Phil
adelphia in the record time of 9 hours
and 28 minutes, is the achievement made
last week by J. M. Eyler, of Pittsburg,
in a Serles 9 Franklin stock touring car.
This sensational drive represents the
fastest time ever recorded by an auto
mobile between the two citles, accord
ing to date compiled by W. M. Hull, At
lanta Franklin dealer.
The trip was the result of a wager
that the distance could not be made in
less than 101% hours, and sl, was the
stake. Mr. Elger atnrteglln meavy fog
from the Pittsburg courthouse at § a. m.
and at 2:28 p. m, his Franklin was
{)arked in front of Broad street station,
n the very center of the Quaker eity.
The route which he* traveled led
through many small towns, and in both
terminal cities he had to pags through
many miles of downtown sections, which
in the case of Philadelphia was a severe
handicap because of his arrival during
a heavy traffic hour. Only two stops
were made dur!ngr the whole trip, one
at Suacfll]xehanns, idge, Columbia, Pa.
where there was a 16-minute delay, a.nd
a short stop for i&sollne.
Regardless of the high lfeed at which
the car was driven, 81 miles per hour,
only 141 fauons of gasoline were ocon
sumed, which is better than 20 2-3 miles
to the gallon.
Not content with once bes,t.msn the
stipulated time in the bors, Mr. yler
decided to repeat the Pe ormance, B 0
after one hour and a half ’Mtf’{n Phil
adelphia, he drove back to ttsburg
the same day, covering in all 600 miles
in 19 hours and 63 mlnut?r, with a total
gasoline consumption of 27% gallons for
theé round tflgf an average of 21.8 miles
per gallon, ot a lt? was made for
tlr{e or engine trouble during the whole
trip.
\%’hen it is considered that Mr. Eyler
is 55 years old and drove the return trip
almost all after dark, his record of near
ly 20 hours almost steady driving is re
markable.
The previous one way recerd over this
route i{s sald to have been ® hours and 38
minutes.
Motor Truck Show
‘ .
\
Suggested by Alvin
Recent developments in the motor
truck world have demonstrated the
real necessity for a national motor
truck show, aocerding to Forrest J.
Alvin, general manager of the United
States Motor Truck Company, at the
close of a satisfactory trli) through
the eastern country. Mr, Alvin found
conditions most satisfactory, with an
immense business in sight for the
motor truck mahufacturers, and he
found a general desire among pur
chasers whom he called upon to take
up the work most likely to relleve
'the Government, by placing more and
more trucks into commission to re
lieve the freight congestion of the
day.
‘ “Condmon-mgoingto‘:;w more
serfous,” sald Mr. Alvin, a buy
ers for motor trucks are to be found
on every side. Some confusion exists
now, due to the number of high-class
trucks there are In the fleld, and the
purchaserg are delayed in making
their choice through the many trucks
offered them and inability to make up
‘their minds. Had we but a national
‘motor truck show in which every
‘maker, or practically all, would be
‘an exhibitor, these purchasers would
quickly make a choice and each and
‘every one of us would benefit from
the exhibition. There 1s enough
‘business for every maker lin the
’country. To conclude, the business
with business men who are purchas
ers in larger and larger numbers
‘every day, is going to be an aid to the
country. The more trucks that are
‘placed in commission the greater the
relifef afforded in the freight fleld,
and the sooner this relief lin the
hauling of freight comes about the
‘sooner this country is going to re
‘turn to normal conditions.
“Sholt-haul freight i{s now being
generally transported by motor
trucks. The distance covered in this
sort of work is goini to be length
ened steadily. This will mean putting
into commission more and more
trucks and the buyers will make up
their mind more quickly through
bringing them together at a great
national exposition of motor trucks
where they may Fo about the buying
in the least possible space and with
the complete fleld of trucks before
them. I know that we of the United
States Motor Truck Company are
now and have always been in favor
of a national exposition of the indus
try and we now believe that the time
is at hand to force the issue. 1
“What we must do {s to encourage
the buying of trucks where these
trucks will do the most good. The
manufacturers are going to find a
market for all trucks it is possible
to manufacture. The Government
must be served and then the Ameri
can business men. The makers must
manufacture to the utmost of their
abilities to meet demands and
through the creation of a mnational
exhibit the business which would be
accomplished there, {n addition to
the general results which would
accrue would be the one best
move which could be made at this
time. It would bring about greater
production through the Insight many
manufacturers would secure of real
conditions and that would benefit the
Government.
At the ahnual convention of the
Motorcycle and Allled Trades Asso
clation, just closed, at New York, it
was the unanimous sentiment that the
first and only thing that should be
considered was how the industry
could help to win the war. Motor
cycles haye been used in this war
more extensively in Europe than in
America in military matters, and it
was agreed that every effort should
be made to equip our,K American
armies with adequate motorcycle
equipment. Mr. H., S. Quine, man
ager of the publicity department of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, presided over the convention.
The branch building of the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company, at
Hartford, Conn., recently burned, with
total loss of stock and building. While
the firemen wze battling with the
flames arrangements were already
being made by the branch mnnuzor!
for a new location to open up f/n'l
business the neéxt morning. A stock
of Goodyvear products was rm;nisitinw'
ed from another New England hmn(-h.l
These prompt measures resulted in
the continuance of the business of the
office without the loss of a single
hour, and the wants of the motorists
of that region were supplied without
interruption. e
