And Mrangely enough the yearly display Invariably has lived up to the optimistic predictions of its sponsors, ^ijice tin- far-gone days in the early yiarr of th?- century no national auto+ mobile show has ever failed to pro- J vide a wealth of entertainment not only for the man who drove a ear. "hut cquallv so far the man who hoped to. Right now a full house is assured. It has always been so; it probabl> always will be. The annual review is an assured success, because |ts appeal is as wide as the country itself. The visitor to the show of 1923 may |CO with tin- consciousness that he is e-for tin first time? paying homage to the an or Id's greatest industry. The Jiroduetion of motor cars and their accessories has gradually crept up from the modest figures of early fcears until at the present time the Industry has gone into a leading place in the country's commercial standing. \rw Idea* Looked For. "Whetl . : or not the coming exposition will disclose anything revolutionary .?r radical will remain a se* tret until the doors of the palace are thrown open on January *?. In every factory throughout the country for months past the brains of the automotive industry have been engaged in the design and production of mod els for 1923. Away from' the drop forges, the whirring wheels and from all the distractions of a noisy plant the designers have evolved ideas of refinements that will mark the cars to be shown. It Is conceded that the coming dis?lov will l>e dominated hv the closed types of cars. More and more the jnotorist is evincing: his desire for the Heme of travel typified by the limouIPine.Mhc sedan, the coupe and the \arious combinations of these three ftandard types put out with more or ess whimsical names. Protection irom the weather when protection is fieeded, explains the great and grow- ! ing popularity of the closed car, taken j |n conjunction with improved body design which in balmy weather perIrtits of all the advantages of an open t Jnodol. Kacli > ear has brought greater luxI'ry of interior fittings and upholstery. \o such a pronounced degree that ? 1." 1. Kc, ^ ftieederi t?? make no apology for their J jack ot riding comfort. Tt is safe to ! ftssumc tiiat the models in the palace j I*how will demonstrate superiority ? t?ver all previous efforts in this line. The accessory makers confine their !iew products to no particular time ?f the year, but most important ones A l?re usually reserved for the national Fhows. Many hundreds of accessory exhibitors are already listed, and the pnotorist will find a journey among1 tho displays as fascinating and Informative as in previous years. And /ie is certain to find some surprises, i Optimism Held. The a utomotive industry faces the ' doming >ear with extreme optimism! f ndconfidence. For this industry, at i east, the period of reconstruction j has practically ended. Despite their t Universal utility, motor cars were j the first to react to the conditions caused by the high cost of materials find labor during the war period. Car prices have been stabilized, even though slowly; the industry is iusi closing a year mat nas r?een j mazing in the volume of production and sale*, and therd is every i indication that the coming year will I Mart and end in a blaze of glory. r?"ot only are general conditions indicative ?f continued prosperity, but nhere is every evidence that the pub- I ^ 3ic is in a frame of mind to accept] The modern car as the highest ex-1 pression of design that may be ex- j jpected for some time to come. | The motorist who in past years has ^visited the New York and Chicago f?hows prepared to view the most Radical innovations will be satisfied Jin January if the new cars show distinctive refinements. "That this will <be the case there is no doubt, but no one looks for any drastic novelties Jn construction. The expectation is general that body designs and fittings will prove to be the most engrossing feature of the coming exposition. Greater compactness to make motoring easier and Fafer in these days of crowded streets, fond even country roads is promised. Also, because of increasingly dense . traffic, the method of putting brakes on all four wheels make a strong appeal, and several cars thus equipped are likely to be displayed. Most of the manufacturers. however, are closely guarding their secrets in order that they may disclose them when the show starts. Demand Continues. 'The demand for individual motor transportation continues at ft record jvace." said Alfred Reeves, general manager of the National Automobile i'hamper of Commerce, on his return from a visit to a number of motor "Jar and motor truck plants In Ohio, ; ndi&na. Illinois and Michigan. "Ocober and November supplied bigger hipments than ever were recorded or the same period of any previous ear. i "The same need for motor vehicles, j 1 rhtch created ft record output of i .400,000 units In 1922, or 10 per ccnt^ etter than the previous high mark i f 1920. will be as keenly felt In 1923.

BRAKE EXAMINATIONS PREVENT AUTO CRASHES Motorists Should Keep Close Watch 011 Linings and Drums. Periodic brake examinations, by ? ar I owners themselves, is the cheapest and easiest measure for avoiding: accidents and keeping" out of trouble with the police, in the opinion of J. W. Perry, general manager of the automotive department of JohnsManville, Inc.. who outlined yesterday a dozen simple rules for keeping brakes in good working order. Adjust the brakes every thirty days, maintaining between the brake lining and the drum, all the way around, a clearance of about onesixty-foQrtb of an inch. Keep the right and left wheel brakes operating with equal pressure. To test this out. jack up the rear wheels, start motor, and with car in high gear, apply the brakes. Both wheels should slow down uniformly. t Keep the brake lining clear of oil. road grit and metal particles. Clean the brake lining with kerosene once every two or three months. Remove glazed spots on the brake lining by roughening the surface with a round or half-round file. Tighten regularly all lock nuts and rivets, to avoid loosening the turnbuckles. and scoring the brake drums. Keep the foot pedal and hand lever in proper position, so that the foot | pedal will never go down far enough to strike the floor board and so that j the hand lever will never pull back ancP strike in its slot. Test both brakes before starting. Apply the brakes slowly. Never let the tires slide. Use the motor as a brake on hills. Try out your brakes under various conditions and see how quickly the car will stop; then in service always add a liberal margin of safety. 1 1 1 READY FOR AUTO SHOW. Many New Models to Be Shown in \ Gotham. With the national automobile show I in New York city approaching. Manager S. A. Miles reports that practically everything is in readiness and that when the doors are opened on January t? the motor ear loving public will be | favored by the greatest display it has j ever witnessed. Reports from the far- J j toriea indicate that more new models j I will be shown than in any previous i >ear. One feature of the show, accord-! ing to ne\Vs that has leaked out from automobile manufacturing cities, will be a big display of new body types and low-priced inclosed cars. A canvass of all the big hotels in the ' ? : r.-? * A riUdiiug ruiucs auu auvivco iiuiu uiv out-of-town motor car manufacturing ami selling centers indicates that the automobile show of 11*23 will draw a crowd of record-breaking proportions. The hostelries in the vicinity of Grand Central Palace and along Broadway are rapidly being booked for tlie week of the exhibition and many of them report that there are equally large reservations for the week preceding the show. Hotel men are planning to accommo- ; date all visitors to the show. RECORD AUTO SHIPMENTS, j "Shipping of assembled automobiles from main factories and assembling; plants during the past year reached the record figure of approximately 400.000 carloads, transporting 1.700.000 machines." as reported by William E. j Metzger. chairman traffic committee, | National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. to the directors' meeting of that 1 association recently. In addition to | this, over 730.000 machines were driven [away by dealers from factories and assembling plants. i % ' The Seaso, r?__A r joesi VI i !

In order to cause an explosion in an 1 engine's cylinder the gases must llrst be Fed into it. This Is done by the opening of the inlet valve while the piston is on the outward or intake stroke. The piston when moving out of the cylinder produces a vacuum In the cylinder and i the air rushes in through the carbureter j and manifold to fill this space. As soon i as the crank reaches outer dead center ?he piston ceases to move out and as the crank passes dead center of its rotation the piston moves back into the cylinder. The valves must now be closed: the gases are trapped and compressed into a small space by the returning piston. This is the second or compression stroke. Just as the piston lias reached the end of this stroke and the crank commences to draw the piston over dead center the explosion must take place. This drives the piston out with great force, producing the "power stroke" or third stroke of the piston's cycle. The explosion leaves the cylinder full of burnt gases and while the piston is sent into the cylinder by the whirling crank the exhaust valve must be held open for the escape of the exhaust gases. Such is the action of the four-cycle engine. Timing: the Inlet Valve. ' To the average man it would appear (that the inlet valve must open at the j utrfeiiiiJiiife ui uit unaae sirunc anu tiuac at the end of it, that both valves remain closed during the compression and power strokes and that the exhaust valve be opened at the beginning of the exhaust stroke and closed at. the end of it. This is, however, not the case. While the crank is passing the dead centers in its rotation the piston is practically standing still. Then as the crank leaves dead center the piston moves with it. This fact is made use of in valve timing. When the crank is passing over inner dead center at the beginning of the suction stroke, the intake valve is not opened until the piston commences to move out; that Is when the crar.k has passed dead center by about seven degrees. Then when the crank is passing over outer dead center and the piston again stands still the intake valve is left open till the piston has started on the return stroke or till the crank has completed from twenty to thirty-eight degrees of the compression stroke. This is done because the gases which rush into the cylinder with considerable force when an engine is running will continue to crowd into the cylinder in spite of the fact that the piston has completed its stroke. More J gas m# me cyunaer, or course, means a stronger explosion. Timing: the Exhaust Valve. The exhaust valve Is opened long before the piston has reached the outer or -dead center of the power stroke and is held open while the crank finishes this stroke and all of the next, which is the exhaust stroke. This is necessary to allow the cxhause erases sufficient time to escape so as to clear the cylinder of all useless gases before the next intake stroke. Tf there is any pressure left in the cylinder when the piston starts on the intake stroke, suction will be I weakened, the gases drawn in will be insufficient and weak engine operation will result. The exhaust valve should open when the crank reaches j a point forty degrees from outer dead center on the power stroke and the valve must be held open till the crank has passed inner dead center on the intake stroke. That is. the exhaust closes just as the intake commences to open. To test the timing of the valves the crank should be visible. If the engine has an exposed flywheel, the dead center position of he crank is usually found by bringing a mark on the flywheel opposite the trammel point or mark on the cylinder casting. When the flvwheel is inr?ln?#?ri | removing the oil pan from the crank i case will reveal crank positions. As a general thing, however, it will be unnecessary to examine the timing as closely as this. If the actual meshing of the gears has not been changed by an incompetent workman, the timing is likely to be correct, as far as the gears are concerned. It is in the tappets or valve lifters where we must look for trouble. : The ends of the valve stems and of the valve lifters will continually I wear off. If this wear is not taken up I the valve will open late and close too I early. In the inlet valve this will ; mean dearth of gas in the cylinder ; and with the exhaust valve it means j incomplete scavenging, leaving burnt gases in the cylinder at the end of j the exhaust stroke. Overheating, inI creased fuel consumption and lack of | power are sure to be the results of this. All this trouble can be remedied by keeping the "tappets" or valve ' lifters properly adjusted. These adI justnients should not be left to the I garageman: the owner who takes [ pride in his knowledge of his car will I do this himself. The flattery Deserves Extra Care la Cold Weather. The "little black box of mystery/' as the storage battery is called by [ some people, needs a little more con! sideration in winter than in summer. | Two'dangers must be guarded against by car owners; the first is freezing the battery, and the second is over| work caused by lengthy cranking of a cold motor. The first danger can be counteracted by keeping the battery fully charged. The following table shows the freezing point of electrolyte of various specific gravity readings: Hydrometer Reading. Freezing Point. Fully (Uncharged, l.lftO . .13? above zero discharged. 1.100.. zero J., discharged, 1.225..38? below zero 1J discharged. 1.2<V> . .60* below aero Fullv chrg'd. ,1.280-1.300. .80* to 90" below zero It requires more than twice the power to crank a thoroughly cold engine than is necessary to spin the same engine when warm. Therefore, a battery must not be asked to do this very long at a time. Have the engine ready for starting before stepping on the starter switch. Pull the primer properly, open the throttle and retard the spark, then step on the pedal. n's 'reetings! patrons and our mn a Chevrolet, verity that never Xmas Holiday!. hat 1923 ride in your }oy and true I where Dreams )TOR COMPANY f Franklin 5627 H nSBUNGS IH Wa. 3 Branch Jft. 9 III St Torre?

" J1 The Christmai Highway. ^ Twenty centuries ago the Christmas ^ highway was laid. The engineers were three kings who came out of the east bearing gifts to a new-born Babe in a. little town of Judea. They journeyed from different directions. d unknown to each other until the star c which guided all three brought them (J together on the road to Bethlehem. s These kings did not travel in lux-j^ urious limousines, as even ordinary c people do in these times; instead they h rode on clumsy camels, journeying s for days and nights to negotiate a distance that we in our high-powered ^ motor cars could cover today in a few ;i hours. They carried the most rare and v precious treasures of the orient and laid them with gladness, love and wor- jj ship at the young Child's feet. Then, empty-handed, but full-hearted, as only givers can be. they returned to ^ the countries from whence they came. And ever since, every year through the centuries, other wise men have n taken that boulevard to Bethlehem. 1 laden with gifts for the Christ chfld. T They have gone a-foot; they have J( ridden in all ways and in all convey- j, ances; tney nave gone uy waier, u> i ^ land. by steam, by motor; but. how-j ever they travel, or what gifts they J t( bring, the same intention, like the star in the east, guides them ami y brings them together in love on the common road to Christmas. Today, more than ever in history. t] the wise men will go to Bethlehem by motor. What runs downtown t through kaleidoscopic streets from a shop to shop; what errands and what j p visits from house to house of friends; < what generous exchange of hospi- j tality; what journeys of cheer and charity?to a hospital ward with a Christmas tree and basket, to an orphanage with stockings, to the the v slums, to a bereaved home, around f the patk with an invalid, to the y theater with a joy-starved child! See v what a highway of happiness lies be- h fore the fortunate owner of a motor t car! a So be like the wise men of the cast. 0 menus una leuow-iiiuiunsiB, a?u t follow the Christmas ptar to Bethlehem with the best yon have to offer, j Then and there, though you return n with empty cars, will you know in its t fullness the joy and recompense that paves the Christmas highway. Traffic reformers are too often persons who know just how road use could be made absolutely safe " through merely changing the ways ^ of others. ;i Old Rule Disappearing. ?! Prince Edward Island and Nova j ! Scotia are now the only Canadian j 1 provinces in which the old English j ? road rule of "turn to the left" still * prevails. In an effort to check automobile accidents, many of which have j resulted from confusion on the part i of tourists from the United States j unfamiliar with the provincial traffic | methods. Canada is gradually adopt- i ing the Uncle Sam idea. New Bruns- ; wick began "turning to the right" on j 1 ljecemoer i. rne i anacuan aTuiuuei i might at least be termed graceful. J I Easy With the Junk! The motorist who. if always going through his side pockets with a view to throwing away everything tliat doesn't seem to have any particular value is simply throwing money in the gutter. Sometimes th?- most use- j less articles are the most valuable J in an emergency. Nothing that will j stop a leak, stop a rattle, tie a broken part together, reach into an inaccessible place or do the work of a special tool should be thrown away. It may come in handy some time? somewhere. This is usually ten miles | from the nearest garage. _ -r d Try This Factory Test. a When ycu suspect that the grinding a noise you hear somewhere between the engine and the rear end is located In the transmission, try a factory test to mane sure aoout u Hold your ear to the gearshift lever I while running the motor with th< { clutch engaged.

But before getting excited ver the conditions you find try puting some more grease in the gear ox. Lack of proper lubrication may e the answer. Excuses That Convict. There are certain excuses which rivers invariably proffer to plainlothes olhcers or inspectors who delin them for an explanation of ome niisdemeanof. These excuses re more likely to land a motorist in ourt than the violation itself. So ere's a list to stick on the windhield and memorize: "I didn't know you was an officer." n admission that the driver iragines the law to be considered only rhen in the presence of an officer. "I didn't know 1 was going so fast." 'roof of lack of speed conception and Lidgment. "Why don't you arrest these other irds?" An adainisslon you are as uilty irs they. "You don't know who I am." Adlitting that you're the original fool. "My speedometer doesn't work." he law doesn't require any motorist > use a speedometer.

'on ought to know. "I've pot a wife and three children r> support." Why didn't you think of hem before you violated the law? "I'm in an awful hurry." So was he man who left his engine running nd blew up the car while they were umping in gas. When Cold and Windy. On a coi?l. windy night the car houid 1?? parked with the back toward the wind. This is protection or the radiator, water hoses ar.d rater pump, which would be exposed rith the tar facing the wind. But t fore making it a practice to park he car in this position it is advisble to have the rear tank cleaned lit. Any water which may lie in lie gasoline will fall to the bottom f the tank and freeze if the car is eft out too long. Kven a little ice n the edges might be enough to clog he fuel line. Rust on the Fenders. When rust appears on the outside f the fenders, beware. The next tage in the deterioration process is hole, straight through the fender, lust does not do as much damage n the underside of a fender as one ugh: suppose, because a coating of oad dirt tends to prevent its formaion.
