SENSIBLE AUTO HINTS
NOT FOUND IN BOOKS!
IC.xperience with a motor-car teaches
'one many things' that arc never men- j
I tloned In books. Hero, for instance.- are ?
I two things I lenrnod last year:
| Xn. 1. ? 1 wanted to fasten a flag on j
I each side of the radiator, and 1 stuck i
1 a piece of wire in through one of the '
I radiator openings and out through an- j
I other. and the curved, rough edge of I
j that wire cut through the paper-thin j
side of one of the radiator cells arid j
produced a leak of serious dimensions, j
I had not known before how extremely,
thin those little radiator partitions are.)
I tried soldering llie cell full, but the
solder only illled up Hie ends or open- 1
: incrs. and that merely passed the ie.ik,,
I on the next cell. tty pouring into the ;
top with the water some preparation .
made for the purpose j stopped the ;
leak temporarily, hut in the end I had 1
I to send the radiator into the factory, j
I says an autolst In the American Motor-!
i ,st
I No. ? I had the ear overhauled and J
a jr??od deal of waste was ri" doubi used
j in wiping out tho Inside of the parts. ?
! The lint from this \vaste. .when I Uettnit !
in use the car, was taken up by the ? -i 1 "
and picked up by the oil-strainer. with
the result that the strainer soon Illled.
I up so tightly that no oil would no j
through, ami It required the applii.-a-j
tion of gasoline under air pressure to j
I clean U out.
I No book ever warned me of those j
| two things. though common sens" 1
I might have done. so. if I had used more j
of It.

EXCITING EVENT OF DARE-DEVIL
DRIVING ON MAY 10, WITH
PRELIMINARY MAY 5.
Three Contests on Big Day With
Thirty Death-defiers at Wheel,
Including Oldfield.
Advanced gleanings from Wheeling
automobile circles are lo the effect
that this section will be more largely
represented at the I'niontown (Pa.)
speedway races, Thursday, May 10,
than at any other previous similar
thrilling event.
Reports have it that there will he a
flock of cars, lilled with auto deal
ers, fans and even those who are not
car owners, leave ihe city at daylight
on the day of the big event. Many
will go by train.. Special rates wHl
be given on the' railroads. There will
be three races. The first at 1 o'clock.
The big thrillers will begin at Si
o'clock, which will include the 112- j
mile race for the universal trophy.
Fifteen thousand dollars in prizes will!
be awarded.: Thirty of the world's |
greatest drivers will enter the races,:
including DePalma. Ralph Mulford, !
l-Jduie llearne, Harney Oldfield. Ira
Vail. Ail Klein. Hilly Taylor, Fred
Newman, Louis Fountaine.
Aerial Preliminary ? Event May 5.
Aerial warfare will be demonstrated
most effectively when Aviator He
Lloyd Thompson gives his wonderful
exhibition at the I'niontown speedway
on May 5. in conjunction with the
elimination and qualification I rials of
the auto racers who are entered in
the grand opening race which will be
contested May 10. Thompson is con
sidered the man who started the
aerial preparedness movement bv
"rakling" the capit'ol and White House
in Washington a year ago. following)
up the spectacular (eat by making the:
same sort of flights over lower Newj
York city and the business district of
Chicago a few days later. Thompson i
dropped' explosive bombs which were!
timed to explode several hundred feet
in the air.
In I'niontown, Thompson will carry]
on. a battle against a scenic fort I
erected in the center of the speedway
and will shoor real bombs at thf' fort I
while the men inside the fortification I
will shoot just, as real bombs up at I
him Thompson, having an edge on i
the battle owing to his ability to I
dodge anything shot up at him from I
the fort, promises to blow up the
structure and to it on fire from
the sky, giving the specqjftors an op
portunity to get a line onnlie manner
in which the European aviators work.
Thompson has been selected to
train the automobile drivers' squad in
the aviatioji corps and will give the
men their first try out in I'niontown.
