TIRE MILEAGE ON AERO-EIGHT . ia niir rri-riinr louiicrcHiunc One pr the Many Distinctive Claims of Builders Others Are Fuel Economy, Power and Speed. Among the distinctive claims of the Cole Aero-Eight to recognition in th motor world are its increased tire mileage, its fuel economy, its . power, speed 'and acceleration, its mechanically correct body, its well balanced shock absorbing frame, its ability to operate with maximum ef ficiency, even with low grades of fuel, and its exclusive aerotype de sign. It has been proved that the orig inal tire equipment on a Cole Aero Eight is consistently capable of 15, 000 miles or more, an achievement without precedent. More than a year of actual service has disclosed that an average of from 12 to 14 miles per gallon of gasoline in an 80-horsepower, eight cylinder motor is a reality in-the Aero-Eight. The increased efficiency of the motor has given the Aero-Eight - greater reserve power, speed, ac celeration and a new smoothness of operation. Because of these facts, the Cole Aero-Eight, weighing only pounds, travels at a speed of 70 miles an hour with no greater vi bration and effort than if it were traveling 35 miles an hourv- Valve Stem Guide Bushings. In engines not fitted with special valve stem guide bushings excessive wear of the guide and consequently valve stem side play and oil leak age may be prevented by reaming the guide and fitting a bronze bush ing. The bushing may be obtained already machined from any supply house. In fitting the valve should center on the tappet, otherwise there will be a side thrust against the bushing and it will wear eccen trically. ( Carbureter Trouble. Many cars have no provision cside from a '-trainer in the tank for keeping out dirt from the carbur et r. Owners of such vehicles will do well to fit a trap in the fuel line. All the big carbureter makers offer these traps, which are to be placed in the line near the carbureter or in the bottom of the tank. The trap catches all the dirt and water and f-hovld be cleaned out regularly once a month. , Shifter Lever Troubles. Excessive play in the main shaft of the gearset may cause the gear shifter lever to be forced out of position. Usually the front bearing on the main shatt is shimmed, so that the condition is easily remedied. End play in this shaft also may be the cause of chattering in the clutch and a buckling when the car is on a grade or otherwise pulling hard under load. If this is not corrected in. time fhe shaft play may cause permanent injury to ,tne gears Vanderbilt Cup Race Winner Here The above picture is a National racing car which won the Vander bilt Cup race in 1910. After-doing more or less service here and there about the country this car has found its way to Omaha and is in the hands of A. H. Haught, service manager for the National Car Calcs corporation. Haught, by the way, was sent to France during the war to take charge of the service on the 300 Na tional sedans which were used dur ing the war. Traveling Restaurant : Great Boon to Housewife Denver' housewives whose apart ments afford but limited cooking fa cilities, or who have spent the after noon shopping or visiting, have had their dinner problem solved by the Denver Table Supply Co. This con cern operates a traveling kitchen and delicatessen store which consists of an elaborate enclosed, white body on a Republic truck chassis, driven by a young woman in uniform. The big vehicle visits a modern apartment house district just before meal time and "miladi of the cliff dwellers" can order a family meal from the conventional soup to des sert On the, truck are steam tables for keeping food and dishes warm, a range for cooking short orders and an expert chef whose-dexterous hand prepares the food. A refrigerating compartment installed on the truck keeps meat, fruits, milk, etc., in prime condition, and plenty of stor age space is available for foods vjhich require neither extreme heat nor cold. Pump Leakage. When the water pump begins leaking do not assume that neces sarily it is because the nut is too looss. Frequently the, nut is not to blame at all, but poor packing is the real cause of the trouble Packing for this part consists ot candle wide soaked in tallow, heavy twine similarly treated or special packing material. After the nut has been turned to press the packing down do not tum it further as ex cessive squeezing is apt to dam age some part of the body of the pump. Battery Headings. In taking battery readings with the hydrometer the operation should be performed x before the distilled water is added to the solution, which will otherwise be diluted and a wrong reading given. Also after the water has been put in it takes some time to mix with the acid. The water being lighter stays on top, and if the hydrometer is used, say an hour after the water has been added, it will take up only a weak solution, which is not the real one. One out of every 10 men seen on the street is a motor car owner. Well Known Auto Men to Join the Fuller Forces Announcement of considerable in terest throughout the automotive and advertising worlds has been made, that Howard L. Spohn, form erly of Motor Age, Motor World, Automotive Industries and Com mercial Vehicle; and Frank A. Kapp, formerly of Motor Life, The Auto mobile Trade Directory and The Automobile Blue Books, have be come associated with the Charles H. Fuller company, advertising agents of Chicago. Correcting Body Sag. .. When the doors on one side ot the body do not fit properly, either bind so that they are hard to close or fit too loosely, with so much clearance that the catch will not snap, the trouble may be cured by placing wooden wedges under -the body at the rearJ Metal plates may flso be used. In either case the wedge could be bolted through the frame so that it will remain firmly in place. Fenders and Bulbs. In cars where the headlamps are fastened to the fenders, looseness in these latter results in excessive vibration, which will account for rapid ruin of bulbs. iff CADILLAC Recognized everywhere for its PERMANENCY of- -VALUE J.

Consequently, instead of trying to sell a farmer a big, bulky truck, they built what the farmer wanted; a speedy truck of about the carrying ca pacity he actually needed. ; Andinto this truck they put the same hon est material which characterizes Reo products.

He has been quick to see the rapid increase in motor traveling and has availed himself of the opportunity of assist ing; and benefiting the traveler. Upon nearly all main highways throughout the United States deal ers have installed thousands of Buick road signs, and tourists traveling from coast to coast, lake to gulf, find these road signs of great con venience. The information which each contains assists the motorist in selecting the best improved routes, eliminating the loss of considerable time usually spent in hunting for the right direction and roads. These signs further advise the location and distance to the nearest Buick service and supply station, so that the tour ist can feel assured of securing as sistance promptly when necessity de mands it. Buick dealers have sup plied themselves with road maps and charts of surrounding counties and states so that they are able to give the touring public such information as it desires. . Oil Instead of Grease. The car owner who is handy with tools may find it profitable to re place a number of the grease cups which lubricate important parts of the mechanism, by an oil reservoir with leads running to these various parts, such for instance, as the thrust bearing or throwout collar of the clutch. This oiler should bt constructed much Jike a mechanical oiler with control for each lead. Holley Tools Made Here Omaha auto dealers and garage men who have been forced to wait weeks and sometimes months j for tools and tool equipment to arrive from the east, need no longer suffer such anxiety, for with the advent of the Holley Tool Manufacturing company in Omaha, all tools will be manufactured in Omaha. The Holley company specializes in wrenches one of their remark able features being the detachable sockets, which are made in all sizes. Crawling under a car several times with the wrong wrench, is an incon venience., which no. longer need bother the repairman. An universal set of wrench sockets, which fits any size nuf, saves all of this trouble. These sockets are manufactured from quality, cold rolled steel a method in which the steel is first subjected to a special heat process which hardens the steel, thus mak ing it equal to any severe test. The sockets arfelater bored to the size desired and are fitted to the wrench handles. All tools manufactured by this concern are treated with the Parker rust proof process which renders the metal immune to the chemical action of water or air. The Build ing is located at Twelfth and Mason streets, and consists of three stories. "The plant is three months behind on orders," said J. C.

In some cars looseness of the engine bolts which hold the water in place may cause misalignment ot the engine, with serious conse quences. If there is even slight looseness of the bolts it may per mit the engine support to hammer and pound and in time the support ing arm may actually break off. Moore Model "F 11 Gar Vitality Today car vitality is an all important question and among: the sane element those who consider a car is a necessity something beside speed and appearance comes into play.
