POWER IN WILLS SAINTE GLAIRE “When the fan has reached the speed which represents its point of maximum cooling éfficiency, how can it be kept from exceeding that speed and consuming horse power unnect sarily?” Just this question occurred to C, H. Wills during the period in which he was designing the motor for the Wills Sainte Claire car. It was success fully solved by him with the develo;- ment of the Wills Sainte Ciaire auto- atic fan release. . It is well known to technical men end well informed car owners, that the:fan reaches its point of maximum efficiency at about 2000 revolutions per minute. At this speed the W1'ls Sainte Claire fan consumes from 2 to 2% h. p. “If allowed to go. beyond this speed, it would consume as high as°6 to 7 h. p. without ‘any corres- ponding increase in cooling efficiency. With the automatic: fan’ release, however, the force of the fan at 2000 revolutions or more per minute is sufficient to. pull it away from its friction driving gontact with the fan Bhatt, so that the fan cam never ex- ceed this speed at any time: There. fore, the horsepower which would be required to drive tge fan faster ts never used, and a saving of from 4} to 6 h, p. is effected: % Another improvement in the cooling mechanism is tho 3-bldded fan, de- signed so that the angles between its Dlades comform ‘to thé motor, This Means that in one revolution of the fan there are only, three impacts of ¥ between ‘the fan and the motor, hus eliminating the noise which is so common wit ha 2 or 4-bladed fan. with its greatly increased number of these air impacts.» Fair View Addition “— oll, given. me Lies high and. gives a moat bedu- titul_ view of the. mountains.

AL OFFIGER AOVOGATE Actidents on the highway could be greatly decreased by the passage of uniform state laws requiring every truck to carry a mirror, gtv- ing a view of the road immediately to the rear, and by requiring every horse drawn vehic’e, 2s well as automob! to display some sort of Nght when using the roads at night. This is the opinion of M, 0 Eld- ridge, director of roads of the American Automobile association good roads board, after making a. careful digest of the traffic Iaws of all the states of the union. M:. Elkridge, in a report to the secre- tary of commerce sets forth that thirteen states have laws requiring the mirror on trucks, but that very few have any regulation for horse drawn vehicles. The states requir- ing mirrors on trucks are Vermont. Washingten, California, Connect!- cut, New York, Indiana, Kentuc! laryland, Massachuset!

Cotten and rubber are the two prime factors in the cost tres and an authoritative analy of conditicns since the year 1913 have resulted in the accompanying chart which shows how closely tire up and down movements in these two commodi- ted. For ten years, the chart shows, how the trend of tire prices followed the price of these two raw materials, until today. they. are in almost perfect alignment. Rubber has reached such a low level of price that already many rubber plantations are being aban- oned ‘until more profitable opera- Gon can be restored. That this re- sumption will be soon no one who realizes the ever-increaging demand for rubber in the arts and manufac- tures, can doubt. That the other raw maerial, cotton is also ready for an {nereased demand and there fore an increased price is clear from the fact that the mesent sea- son’s cotton erop 1s far below nor- mal and that <the carry-over from the 1921:crop is exceedingly smal.
