lAKING ENGINE OF MOTOR CAR .. C. Mason, Designer of Chevrolet Tells of Care and Quality Necessary The automobile engine, with its resent-day refinements, has made ossible the efficient automobile of i-day. • The engine of an automobile is its lost important unit—it is the "lire" t the mechanism. It is the breath ig, energizing instrument that pro des power to move the rear wheels, "ithout a dependable power plant le remaining part of the chassis, lough it might be perfectly at ined, would go for naught. How many motorists, as they spin in an automobile, listening to le quiet, even purr of the engine, give a thought to the brains, le labor and tho material required i produce a power-unit that will ve uniformly satisfactory service? It Is a task—a task of accuracy in ,-ery direction. There must be ireness everywhere. Knowledge ' detail must be positive at all mes. Nothing is done haphazardly, ach step of the progress must be 1 positive ground. The design of 10 engine; the selection of the aterlal; tlte analysis of that ma rial after it is received; the ma nning of that materia* after It IS need in the different departments; e assembling of the different units; ie various tests; the finishing— ,ch step is vital to the finished ■oduct. Each detail in construction of the utmost Importance in it lf. For the quality and the effl ency of the engine will depend on e accuracy and the faithfulness Ith which each detail is followed. To illustrate the need for com ete harmony In construction: An igine would be of little value If e cylinder walls were not as 100 th as they should be; or if a ston was not of the correct ameterf or if there was a com ession leak; -or if the cams were it in true position; or if the piston ns were loose; or for any other asons that might be mentioned. An engine mudt be true. Each ciprocating part must be true to ch other, and tho unit must be so nstructed as to stand almost con int wear. Think of the number of volutions made by an engine in a n, f>ay. of a hundred miles. Sup se you are in a "Pour-Ninety" and e car is going at the rate of enty-five miles an hour. In the indred miles the engine will have, rned over about 244,000 times, lagine the consistency, strength d durability of metal required to thstand tests like this day In and y out. There are more parts required In ilding a quality engine than any her unit in an automobile. There e 660 parts in a Chevrolet 'Four nety" engine, and there is a reason r each part or it wouldn't be ere. Among these hundreds of parts e five kinds of steel —nickel. irome-Vanadium, carbon, sheet I spring. In addition, bron*e, brass pper, malleable and gray iron are ed. Each selection is the best p the purpose intended. In order that the layman may ve a proper conception of the irk involved In building a satls jtory engine, there will be cited j 0 more important steps and oper ons in building a high-duty power int. • The careful designer and builder ver loses sight of the most im-1 rtant thought in connection with I is work, and that is, elimination of I ction. This is the greatest fault I at must be overcome. In the! seting of two pieces of metal, frlc- ! n is inevitable, and the life and •vice of an engine depends on how oroughly the engineer does his irk and the precautions that he lploys to do away this one il. It is all-important and over udows anything else. There are a number of equally portant parts which must be exact to measurements, weight and ma lex Garage and Supply Co. 1917 North 3rd St. IIAIIitISIIUHG, PA.

Tho inspection of each part during the process of manufacture is most prfecise. The cylinders," crankcaSe, crankshaft, camshaft, pistons, valves and connecting rods havo functions that not only make each part vital as separate units but they ure quite essential in their re lations to the whole engine. Truly one part depends on tho other. The units above enumerated, and which are most Important, go through many operations from the time received until ready for as sembling. There are processes of milling, boring, drilling, grinding, reaming, and scraping—all exacting. All so line that precision Instruments are used to ascertain the various thick nesses and dimensions required to meet the standard maintained. In the selection of the material for the important assemblies described the greatest care Is taken. The cylinders are made of a close grained gray iron. The crankshaft, camshaft and connecting rod are drop-forged steel castings. The crankcase is made of malleable iron. The pistons are aluminum, while the valves are made of cold aluminum, while the valves are made of cold rolled steel* It will be seen by this that the automobile engine builder appre ciates his responsibility and under stands what is expected of him as his share toward building the de pendable, trustworthy automobile. And It is worth the effort, for there is no music sweeter to the trained engineer than the sound of the smooth, even pulse of a carefully designed and constructed motor. With the same care component part—starter, ignition system, lubri cation, cooling and contrl are scrutinized and tested until the most efficient action results. Then, and only then, does the engineer release his product in the assurance that it will perform. City Reduced Cost of Haulage One-Half Ward C. Hill, superintendent of public works, Lansing, Mich., asserts that Duplex trucks which are being used on street work U\ the Capital City have reduced the cost of hauling gravel nearly one-half. "It cost $1.76 per yaed to haul gravel from the pit to the streets In the city when we used teams and wagons, said Mr. Hill. "The cost with Duplex trucks is ninety cents per yard. By replacing our teams and wagons with Duplex trucks, we have not only re duced our haulage cost nearly one half, but we are improving our streets in much less time than was possible with teams and wagons. "We expect to reduce our haulage costs still further in the near future by the use, of trailers." Our fuel cost will be increased very little by at taching a trailer to each Duplex, while we will be enabled to haul about three additional yards of gravel each trip. I am firmly convinced of the econ omy of the motortrucks over teams and wagons for municipal work and expect that the motortrucks which we have purchased from*the Duplex Com pany will be paid for the first year by the saving In haulage costs which re sults. "Motortrucks that are dependable— on the Job in all kinds of weather— and with sufficient power to haul ca pacity loads up grades and over soft, newly made roads —are money savers and money makers for any city. "Our road building work is being carried on much more efficiently with motortrucks, and we are accomplish ing twice as much as we did under former conditions with teams and wagons." True Alignment of Wheels Essential to Tires "Improperly adjusted wheels are frequently the cause for premature wearing out of tires," states the service manager of the Flsk Rubber Company. "If the forward wheels of a car are incorrectly aligned, friction increases and the tread is quickly worn through around its entire cir cumference." Included in the free service given at all Flak service stations Is a thor ough Inspection aud test for the alignment of wheels. Experienced tire men make these tests, but the work of realignment is necessarily referred to a garage, it being more of a mechanic's Job than that of a tire man. Many drivers who do not under stand why wheels are set at an angle —called the alignment angle—are equally mystified when they find a tire tread wearing away in a few hundred miles. In nine cases out of ten misalignment is the fault, and because this fault can "develop with out the driver's knowledge it is an excellent plan for a motorist to drop in at any Fisk service station, where the alignment test will be given free of charge. It makes no difference what kind of tires a man may be using, he is welcome at anv Fisk sta tion at any time. CONTEST TO CLOSE Marysville, Pa., Sept. 15.

BOY SCOUTS ASSIST MOTORISTS American boys have attained a noteworthy reputation for usefulness within recent years. Boys, of course, always have been useful, but not until their energies are organized and directed along systematic channels does this usefulness become so ap parent. That is why, In recent years, America's youngsters l|,ave loomed so conspicuously in the foreground of daily activities. They have been or ganized on a much, broader scale than ever before. One of the most Influential factors in the boy development prcjram is the Boy Scout organization. Troops in every section of the country have attracted public recognition and praise for countless forms of public service rendered. They have assisted in directing street traffic 'during con gested perlsds, assisted travelers on incoming trains, helped convention 76 PER CENT. ASK TO BE EXEMPTED In Perry County Only Thirty-. two Men Are Willing to Serve in War New Bloomfleld, Pa., Sept. 15. Seventy-six per cent, of the 134 men who passed the physical examination in the second Perry county draft de sire exemption. Only 32 are desir ous of serving. The first call in the county furnished only. 69 men, so another call for 249 men was is-1 sued to fill the deficiency of 61 in the I county's quota of 130. With the 32 men secured this time, 101 men have now been secured. Unless 29 men are secured from the total of 102 who desire exemption, a third draft will have to be made. Of 'the 249 called in the second; draft, 134 passed the physical ex- 1 amination; 101 were rejected as \ physically unfit; eight had. enlisted; j three were certified for the army when they failed to appear for ex amination; one man was drowned; a minister was exempt, and another man was ordered to report in Phila delphia for examination.

The first letter was evidently written August 20 and is as follows: , . "I did not try to write letters on the way over, but now that we are hero I will "try to write a few lines. We are very much restricted as to what we can say in our letters, not being able to tell where we are now, on what boat we came over, with what other boats and a lot of other things which would be interesting news to you. "We had a very nice voyage, as the weather was fine all but one or two days. The sea was exceptionally smooth and practically no one was seasick. 1 did'Miot notice the least sign of seasickness-myself. "You doubtless will have been no tified of our safe arrival long before you get thl letter. We certainly were glad to reach land again, and although we have not left the boat yet. we will probably do so soon. "Tell Lillian that I could make use of one of those brown sleeveless sweaters, but if she does not have time before going' back to college she need not bother about it. I will know better after we get fixed in our hospital if there are any othfer things I will want you to send to me. "You will notice X am writing this on one side of the paper so that if the censor wants to cut out anything he won't cut writing on both sides. After we get settled I will try to write lots'more.

Cadillacs Break Road Records in Kansas A Cadillac Eight roadster and a Cadillac Eight touring car were used between Kansas City and Manhattan, Kans., in the Government's recent motorcar run, and .set new road rec ords between tho two points. The ob ject of the Washington authorities was to learn how quickly a message could be sent by relays f motorcars from Washington to San Francisco. The time was less than that taken by fast mail trains. From Kansas City to Topeka, the Cadillac roadster was driven by Wil lard McQuistlon, of the Greenlease Motor Car Company. It was a two year-old car taken in the day before and made the run without special tuning up. The distance is eighty three miles, which was made in one hour and thirty-nine minutes actual running time, or at an average speed of 50.29 miles per hour. The road is very rough and rocky, and In the first half of the distance has a great many turns. At Topeka. the Government courier stepped from the roadster Into a Cadillac touring car. which was off and away without delay. Carrying the driver, Louts Nesbaum, the courier, and two passengers, the run was made at an average speed of 45.1 miles per hour, the time being one hour and twenty-five minutes. These are new records for the dis tances between the three points, also between Kansas City and Manhattan. The fastest .time of the run was made by the roadster on the twelve miles from Watson Into Topeka. At twelve minutes to 10 o'clock, a tele phone message from Watson said the car had passed there. Eleven minutes later if pulled up at Cadillac head quarters in Topeka.
