Distinctive Catalogue
Outlines Merits of
Newest Pierce-Arrow
Something mor than a mere ar
rangement of facts puncuated at in
tervals by exterior and interior
views of the product, characterizes
the newest Pierce-Arrow catalog
pow (ready for distribution,.
V Combined with a recital of i th,e
many distinctive features of the
Pierce-Arrow and the high ideals
which inspire the organisation
manufacturing this 'car is an equally
fine conception of the art of print-
Much attention has been paid to
the refined surroundings which are
usually associated with, and form
a background for, the Pierce-Arrow
automobile.
Many colored, beautifully blendeS,
outdoor scenes picture the surround
ings of the Pierce-Arrow in such a
tasteful manner that little has been
left for the spoken word to accomplish.
Coupled: with the attractive il
lustrations are detailed photographs,
also done in colors, of the several
Pierce-Arrowi models and the work
ing units which make these cars a
definite, standard in motor car con
struction and design..
Hawaii has sufficient molasses
'available ia produce 9,000,000 gallons
of motor alcohol enough for all
automobiles on the island.
Battery Prices Join -Down
Trend, Sayi J. Allen Smith
Battery prices, according to J.
Allen Smith, president of the United
States tight and Heat corporation,
will 'contribute 'their' share to ' the
general readjustment. Following
this message from Mr. Allen, comes
an announcement of a reduction in
prices on U. S. L. batteries, ranging
from 20 to 25 per cent effective Jan
uary 1.
"Although this means a tempor
ary loss," asserts MTT Allen, "we
feel that it will have a far-reaching
benefit."

New Features In
Simrlfi-Block. Vertical Efeht-
o -j -
Z' Cylinder Engine , and Hy-
tlraulically Operated Fonr
Wheel Brakes Included.
Some of the most interesting en
gineering features developed in rac
ing cars are incorporated in a new"
Aivrriran-huilt automobile which
was .recently displayed at the New;
York salon. , ' ,'
This car, the Duesenberg stiwight
eiRht, has a single-block vertical
eight-cylinder engine and hydraul
icaMy operated four-wheel brakes,
il hci' principles ,it embodies wer
forked out during the war by the
well known racing car designer
Duesenberg brothers, of Elizabeth,
N. J., and have been demonstrated
in a practical rway by the Duesen
berg racing cars, including The hold-
er of the world's speed record for ai
land vehicle.
. Motor Is Compact
A the eieht-cvlinder eneine has
' -. a bore of 2J6 and astroke of S
inches, it is as compact, as most
C sixes, the overall length of the
' cylinder block being only 30 inches.
t : An overhead camshaft actuates the
, valves, which are inclined ia the
cylinder head. Aluminum, is used
, - whenever practical to reduce weight.
The four-whee braking system is
particularly interesting, as it is the'
first example of a construction of
i! this kind on a stock American car,
. "., ' When the pedal is applied oil is
i ' forced from a master . cylinder, on
'W t,ie central coss- member of the,
Tri'ame, through distributing lines to
.V; an actuating piston and cylinder
;t 1 unit on the expanding sectors of
each individual brakev JThe oil lead
' to each front wheel brake is ma
' " chinVJ jn the. axle forging and taken
through the steering pivot. This
' eliminates all connections and joints.
' No Oil Leakage. ,
When the ptdal is released the
' return springs withdraw the sectors
.vfrora the brake drums. In the event
of a highly-improbable leakage or
breakage in any one of the oil lines
leading to the individual brakes, a
floating piston valve instantly closes
the opening: to that line this pre
venting Jossof oil and keeping the
other orakes in operation.
The car has a wheelbase of 134
inches, assuring easy riding and
permitting of mounting roomy
bodies. It is low hung and sporty
in appearance. The Duesenberg Au
tomobile and Motors Co., Inc., will,
start quantity production of these
cars at its Indianapolis plant early
in March or ApriL
mi A Locking Nois
In some locations and on some
cars even spring washers do' not hold
the nuts in place for more than a
brief period. By pouring molten tar
all over the protruding threads of
such nuts until they are filled in it
will be found that he nuts will be
held securely for some time.
Clear the Exhaust. !
In warm7 weather it is particularly
necessary to keep the exhaust work-
" ing freely because if it' becomes
clogged overheating will certainly
follow. Dot not allow mud or grease
to collect 'and cake on the' outside
of the muffler or. to clog tin tht
