WAGES ARE TOO HIGH
FOR CUT IN PRICE
OF AUTOS
The American public must understand
that the world war was a revolutionary
event in more ways than one, said L. P.
Jernigan, Jr., of jernigan & Wall, dis
tributors of Maxwell, Patterson and the
Master truck. “It was revolutionary not
only in the changing of the map of
Europe, but in the attitude of the world
toward all conditions. A new standard
of living has betn established for the
people of America. We are in an era
of high wages and high costs. I do not
now see any probability of a marked de
crease in wage costs and there is no im
mediate prospect for the lowering the
cost of food supplies and other commodi
ties. This leads to the positive conclu
sion that with the wage scale at the top
limit, and the cost of raw' materials on
the same high plane, there can be no
reduction for a long time to come in
the price of automobiles.’*
TRAINLOAD OF RED
SPEED WAGONS ON-WAY
Edelblut_and Murphy are just in receipt
of a telegram from C. W. DuPre, stating
he has been successful in securing a
trainload of the Reo speed w’agons.
He and J. E. Brown, sales manager,
have been at the factory for the past
week to secure more cars for this .ter
ritory.
Edelblut & Murphy received many of
these speed wagons this year, but the
demand has been so great they have
been unable to supply it.
This is only the beginning of large
shipments, as the factory is turning out
more speed wagons at the present' time
than ever in its history, and deliveries
will be more prompt than at any time
since the beginning of the war.
STREET Is DIAGRAMED
FOR DRIVERS OF .
MOTORS
To avoid congestion at busy street
crossings in Washington, D. C., a new
system of "rotary traffic” has been
adopted. The purpose of it is to prevent
any left turns, and automobiles must
go around the circle marked on the pave
ment when they want to shunt off in
that direction.
The entire crossing is planly marked
out with this rotary scheme, circles and
straight lines being laid out in geometri
cal fashion to indicate where motor
cars and pedestrians are to move. Small
arrow's are part, of the scheme, and no
driver has any 'excuse for not knowing
the rules. All he has to do is to keep
his eyes on the ground.
‘ASK ME”®)
Questions- Ansateppcfby w
(&a&nty (Q&flod&f
(By Barney Oldfield.)
Barney Oldfield: Please give me in
formation of how I can run a car with
starting and lighting system when my
battery goes down too low to make a
spark and I am not near enough to a
repair shop to have it changed.
R. P
There is only one way I know of to
keep the car running under the circum
stances and that is to have it towed un
til the engine turns over to generator
cut-in speed. The engine will run but
if it drops below the generator cut-in
speed it will stop.
Barney Oldfield: I have a seven-pas
senger car equipment with 34 x 4 1-2
tires. X have tightened the lugs on the
rims and still they persist in crying like
an old shoe. What can I do to stop
this? They do not need shims for the
rims are new. I have been told to bend
up the flange on the wheel opuosi'a the
lugs so that the weight of the car would
not rest only on the lugs. How about
this?
The noise is probably due to creeping
and rubbing. Oil will stop the noise
immediately. Don’t bend the flange Try
also tightening the lug nuts evenly so
the rim is held firmly all around.
Barney Oldfield"! The radiator of mv
ear gets so hot 1 cannot touch it. I
have put a new radiator on mv car and
put a new crank shaft hearings and
cleaned all of the carbon off and put on
a new carburetor and new spark plugs
and still it gets so hot the water will
squirt out or the top. Can you tell me
what the trouble is?
. Robert Hall.
Apparently the trouble is not in the
water circuit, so I would attend to the
tolowJnr: See that the fan be t is tight;
that the mixture is not too rich ana
that the valves and ignition are timed
right. Read my article on overheating.
Barney Oldfield: X have had trouble
with oil coming in contact with the fly
wheel which throws it all over the hot
tom of my car so that it runs down over
foot board and fender. I think it cs<ar»f
through, or along crank shaft
What is your opinion and remedy?
The oil works through the l rear r'beir
?* Which may be worn excessively or
file packing may need replacement.
Barney Oldfield? Vy car has a kind
of ringing knock. It has the same In
tensity when the car Is running slow,
EJiii n K ha , rd or 1 have had the
main bearings and connecting rod bear
ings taken up, carbon cleaned and
valves ground In, also three Inland
Rings put on each piston, but the ring
lng knock continue*. *
My electric system shows a discharge
of 5 amps, when running slow up to 22
amps a^°ve that she charges at 14
Could you help me by telling me how
to take out the knock and what Is the
matter with my generator?
It Is almost Impossible for me to* tell
what is causing the knock, hut I suspect

FENDERS AND BuIIBS.
In case where the headlamps are fast
ened to the fenders, looseness in these
latter results in excessive vibration,
which will account for rapid ruin of bulbs.

SOME OF ’EM SHOULD
BE ARRESTED EVEN
AT PRESENT
The absurdity of some of the early au
tomobile laws is evinced by the following
Item which appeared in a motor maga
zine in 1900:
“Recently a chauffeur whose machine
was broken down was taken in tow by
another horseless carriage; but a police
man appeared on the scene and placed
him under arrest, because two vehicles
form a train, and the circulation of auto
mobile trains is forbidden.”
KEEP YOURIOOT OFF
CLUTCH WHEN DRIVING
Are you a clutch rider? Does your
foot continually rest on the pedal con
trolling this important part of your car?
If so, you are unconsciously wasting powi
er and are helping put the clutch in a
condition where it will slip permanently
Spend a few' minutes studying your clutch
Its make-up and principles on which it
works icarn how to keep it in condition
and likewise learn to keep your foot off
the pedal when it is not required to be
there, and you need never have any trou
ble from this device.
