World Motor Trans-
port Congress to Be
Held in Detroit May
21-24 x -
Leaders in transportation from all
parts of the globe will address‘the
World Motor Transpbrtaton Con-
gr'ess at Detroit, May 731-24, ac-
cording to the preliminary program
announced this week.
Sir Henry Thornton. K. B. 3..
chairman of Canadian National
Railways. will take on “Adjusting
the Motor Vehicle to Railway Re-
quirements." .
Among the other speakers are:
C. G. Saker of the South African
Motor Traders association Paul
Cousin of the Belgium Motor Deal-
ers Syndicate. Adolphe Sauer, rep-
resenting the automobile industry
in Switzerland. Ludwig Buchkremer.
' president of the German Automo-
bile Dealers association. and F. F.
Fairman o! the American Chamber
of Commerce in Shanghai. China.
r'I'he Congress. which is held under
the auspices of the National Auto-
mobile Chamber oi! Commerce. will
emphasize particularly the accom-
plishments and possibilities in motor
transport. In many countries abroad
there are vast national resources
lying dormant because of lack of
sufficient transportation. The prob-
lem is not only one of building rail-
roads. even when. capital for this
is available_ but likewise of develop-
ing means or hauling materials
either to rail lines or the seacoast.
There will likewise be sessions on
servicing and business promotion.
Each general topic nwill be discus-
sed by speakers both from abroad
and from the United States.
John N. Willys is chairman of the
Foreign Trade Committee of the Na-
tional Automobile Chamber of Com-
merce. which is sponsoring the Con-
gross. Other members of this com-
mittee are : J. . Mooney, H. P.

Auto Horn Froze
"A motorist friend told mo the
other day that his auto horn froze
up every time the weather got cold."
says A. G. Zeller. President of the
Michigan State Automobile School.
Detroit.
"1 investigated the trouble and
discovered that it lay in the spring
attached to the hammer. it being a
vibrator type horn. ‘
“This spring. cat one. was com-
posed ot several very thin leaves.
Some one had greased them very
thoroughly with Mething that con-
geaied in a cold temperature. liter-
ally freezing the thin sheets of steel
together and forming a solid strip of
metal too still for the magnets in,
the horn to move. 9
"One or our students cleaned oi!
the grease, substituted a compound
that would not traces and now the
horn makes as loud a rack on zero
days as it does in warm weather."

automatic rectincr. that requires absolutely no expert knowledge to
use? - Your electric light company or your electrical supply dealer can
tarnish you one oi these useful little instruments and show you how
to operate it. sotbat your battery can ,be "recharged at. any time.
whenever it and! it. without attention from you and, will always be

mornings. Such a rectifier accomplishes two It chant" “10
alternating current. that is almost universally and for lighting. into
- direct current. which 'is absolutely necessary for charging purposes
and it also reduces the pressure of the lighting current to the rela-
tively low voltage that t 0 or a lz-volt. battery needs to give it the
right volume of current. In using a rectifier the instrument. which
is not heavy or bulk. is set on the car’s running board orrin any
other convenient place and the ends of the two wires which lead from
it are connected by means or spring clip: to the terminals oi the bat-
ten. the wire designated as positive being clipped to the positive
battery terminal an the negative wire to til-other battery post. The
attachment plug. on the and ot the flexible cord from the rectifier. is
than screwed into any alienate current lamp socket and the current
is turned on. when charging commences—tho rats being about 8
ampercs in the case of one oi the most widely used instruments. To
stop charging. the attachment plug is screwed out and the contact
clips detached iron the battery. There is nothing to adjust. the
rectifier does not need watching and can be calely left in operation
over night. In case the current supply tails. there is no danger of the
battery discharging. as its circuit is instantly broken. to be completed
again as soon as the service comes on. Hydrometer tests will show
when the battery needs “boosting" and it is the work of a moment to
apply the rectifier. Considering the satisfactory results these instru-
ments give and the independence of outside charging stations which
they chord. the first coat ot a rectifier is oftentimes well warranted.
especially as a battery which is always kept well charged lasts longer
and is s’ater from frosting than one which is sometimes left in a
discharged candition. .

inspection is made soon after the

supposed water leak occurs only
when the‘ pump is putting pres-

speeds. Such transmissions may be of the individual clutch or the
sliding key variety. both of which have been known for many year-p.
but are not in general use. in the former. there is no "master clutch”
between the engine and gear box. but there is an individual clutch. in
connection with each pair of gears. capable of locking one or the pairs
to its shaft and causing this pair to drive. while the gears of the other
pair turn idly. In the latter. the conventional cl'utch is-retained and
the required "speed" is engaged by locking the loose gear or its pair
onto its shaft by means of a sliding key, moved by the shitting lever—
the gears of the other speeds revolving idly. Individual clutch trans
missions are in use on several current makes of commercial vehicles
and recently a well-known manufacturer of passenger cars has adopted
a rednod form of sliding-key. gcaMn-mosh transmission. providing for
