A Gasoline Economy Hint
Saving Ml On Lona. Fast Trips Over Good. Roads
'YOU‘R CAR happens to Include in its equipment a means for adjust-
" fig the mixture from the mat. not a choker. but a device that acts upon
“the metering valve. the auxiliary air supply or elsewhere. so as con-
. fluently to make the mixture leaner or richer. suppose you try this
-“ “experiment sometime. when you are on a long trip. with the engine fully
.. beefed up. and a good stretch of level open road ahead. Set the hand
1» ' throttle for say. 25 miles per hour. then move the carburetor adjust-
" Dent Just a little toward "lean" and note the effect upon speed. If your
carburetor adjustment. before you changed it. was about an evarage one,
you will and that your speed does not slacken and perhaps that you can
go still further toward lean. without causing it to do so. If it were a
little worse than average. you may find that "leaning" the mixture
actually increases the speed. Thousands of auxiliary air attachments
to the manifold have been sold on the strength of this same test. but
producing the desired effect \vith_the carburetor adjustment is much
better. You may find~that on level stretches and even on slight grades.
you can run on a very lean mixture and save a lot of gasoline on your
long trips. where fairly high speed is permissible. You won't collect
deposits of gasoline soct lll )0ur cylinders very fast, if you follow this
practice. .

after :1 while, I put the wire back
rind the horn worked all right.
The other time this did not cure the
trouble.
5 Answer: This is caused by a
Rround in the horn circuit between
thn motor windngs and the button
and is frequently due to the break-
‘duwn of the insulating bushing in
the horn housing. through which
"to tum-see the wire that goes to tho
“ I‘llllllilll. 'l'h;s bushing can be re-
placed. It may also be caused by
the button sticking in contact or
by the wire in the steering column

bright propects ahead.
“In my opinion." said Mr. Macau-
ley. “forthcoming developments in
the nwtor car industry will be gov-
verned by two factors—the trend of
general business motor industry it-
self.
"1f times are good, motor car sales
will be large. If times are bad. there
will doubtless be some slackening of
sales.
“I do not mean that the prosperi-
ty of the motbr car industry must
necessarily wait upon a favorable
outcome of general business. The in-
dustry is so extensive in its rammv
t-ntlons and so intimately associated
\vlh the lives of the people that it
‘is much of itself a creator of good
lmsinesa and industrial prosperity.
"in other words. while it is sub-
Jm‘t to the control of general eco-
mvmic cindilions. it is to a consider-
able degree a maker of these. condi~
lions. and therefore. exercises a con-
siderable influence upon keneral
