The most destructive teit ever ap plied to a motor truck recently wa completed by the Tierce-Arrow Mot or Car company of buffalo N. V. The truck, a standard five-ton dual valve unit, waa aubjectrd to 12,200 front and rear-end collisions. .No breakage of any part resulted; in fact, at the conclusion of the test the truck immediately wai started ca a long; test run. To produce the 12,200 shocks the truck was placed in a steel cradle and run back and forth under its own power, so that it struck steel blocks at either end. A load of seven and one-half tons was placed on the truck. The force of the blows wa $o severe that four men alternated in driving the truck, changing every 20 minutes. "The force of the blow which the rear wheels struck can be compared to a pile driver, said one of the company's experimental engineers. "It would be equivalent to a one-ton pile driccr dropping a height of JO feet striking a pile which moves three inches at each blow. It would re quire 3,500 such blows to equal the total punishment which the truck withstood." Marshal Foch Rides in Car Bearing Countryman's Name When Marshal Ferdinand Foch rode forth in the American Legion parade in Kansas City Tuesday, it was apparent that no detail which would contribute to the fitness of thins had been overlooked, for Mar shal Focb and the entire French delegation of 28 Kenerals were car ried in cars bearing the name of their distinguished countryman La ra vette. The car in which the marshal him self rode was a La Fayette sedan driven bv a vounc trench war vet cran, who served in the Blue Devils during 'the war. The young soldier in uniform behind the wheel of Mar shal Focli's car added a picturesque touch to the historic occasion. This car was detailed for the personal use of the famous general during his en tire stay in Kansas City. Ihe first LaFayette car to go to France was a torpedo, shipped to Sheldon White house, counsellor for the United States in Parts. To Avoid Scoring. When an engine has been stand- insr idle for several days, so that it is reasonably sure that, the cylinder walls are dry, it is a very sensible precaution to inject a couple of tea spoonfuls of cylinder oil into each cylinder by way of the petcocks and then turn the engine over a few times. This oil prevents any danger of scoring and also assists in getting good compression. Emergency Magneto Brush.4 An emergency brush may be made by rolling a piece of fine mesh copper or brass wire gauze into a cylinder corresponding jn size to the magneto brush. Or a carbon brush may be cut in two to do double duty. If a suitable piece of c? bon (perhaps from an old dry ceil) is available, it may be shaped up- for emergency use. Nash Six Breaks Record 9 Years Old hiffill Climb Make Run From Foot of Palomar Mountain to Daily Hotel in 20 Seconds Under Former Mirk. The Nash Six holds the famous Falomar hill climbing record. Word comes from California that a stock sport model, previously driven 6,800 miles in four weeks, has broken the record of 10 years stands in? from the foot of Palomar nioun tain to Hailv hotel, a distance of 12.7 miles. The time was 34 minutes 40 seconds on a raise of nearly S.ooo feet; in one stretch of eight miles there are 80 sharp turns. The former record established In 1912, by a car stripped to the chassis was 3.i minutes flat. Twenty cart since have attempted unsuccessfully to lower that record. It had come to be regarded as unbeatable until last week when William ilalbritter, owner of a Nash sport model ex pressed a firm conviction that a Nash Six would "outstrip anything on four wheels on any lull in the coun try. "Then climb Falomar Hill," he was told. So the climb was arranged. Mr. Halbrittcr placed Walter Folcke at the wheel, his only instruction be ing to break the record." The official report of the run re lates that although the roads were bad, after seven inches of rain on the mountain, the start was made, and the record established. The car had its top up and carried three passen gers. , New Station of I. H. C. Up to Date Service Plant, Twenty-Fourth And Leavenworth Streets, Is One of Most Complete. The recently opened service sta tion of the International Harvester company of America at Twenty fourth and Leavenworth, according to officials of the company, is one of the most complete service stations which they operate at any point in the United States. All sorts of labor-saving machinery and devices for accuracy have been installed at this station. Among the interesting machines is a machine for running in bearings.- This machine does away with the necessity of hav ing to adjust new bearings shortly after they are refitted. In connection with this machine a complete set of reamers, adjustable to a thousandth of an inch, do away with the old- fashioned bearing scraper. Numerous other mechanical de vices are part of the shop equipment and the whole scheme of operation can be summed up in three phrases: Labor-saving, time-saving and money-saving. According to F. A. Butterficld, who is in charge of the retail sales or ganization and the service depart ment, truck operators are more than pleased with the complete service which is being rendered by the Inter national Harvester company.

Hydrometer Is Almost a Sure Test of Battery Float Rides Deep When Acid In Solution Combines With Lead Compounds in The Plates. "How can that little glass "do flitter" tell whether a battery It fully charged or not?" dubiously queries some fair lady motorist dur ing ths day's work at the average battery service station. And many a man would like to know more about the same subject but he does not like to confess his ignorance his curiosity is not quite so keen. The explanation is simple, indeed, and very reasonable when one gives it sufficient consideration. It hap pens that the sulphuric acid used in a battery solution is heavier than water alone, and the hydrometer used lor battery testing merely indi cates the relative weight of the solu tion compared with the weight of pure water. When a battery is discharged, a great amount of the acid in the bat tery solution has combined with the lead compounds in the plates. Nat urally the solution is weak in acid and the float rides deep. But when Waiting for "props" when the waiters are motion picture stars at six-figure .salaries is expensive recrea tion, the managements of big western studios have discovered. "It is not hard to illustrate how valuable time is in the making of movies," says Billy Smith, superin tendent of transportation for the big Vitagraph studios near Los Angeles. "Before we bought our present de livery equipment one of our directors was on location and telephoned in for something he needed very badly. Ordinarily the run to the location would have consumed only Z5 min utes, but the equipment we had at that time took an hour and a half. This comparatively short delay, however, cost us $400 or $500 in sal aries and expenses, so it is absolute ly essential that we have dependable delivery equipment "We have 40 acres of ground, and we must be prepared to deliver the goods without the slightest waste of time." The big motion picture studio now has two Dodge Brothers cars in con stant use, and, according to Mr. Smith, they are so adaptable to var ious uses demanded of delivery equipment in the motion picture in dustry that they are indispensable.
