SUNDAY, JUNE 22 n \A fl V\h-' Wm 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?

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?
