Practically every dealer in Casper has signified his positive intentions of entering a display in the coming Spring Automobile Show. lem will not be one of filling t but placing the many cars in the available space. From appearances the prob- he available space with cars, It is probable that very little or‘none at all will be exhibited in the line of tires, accessories, or bat- March 24 to 27 inclusive, and while teries in order to create more dis- play space for the cars themselves. The general show committee com- posed of W. R. Yeilding, Lee Doud, , and Clarence West has been work- ing steadily upon the plans for the exhibition and announce that in a general way all has been provided for. The show dates aro set for 187 RAILROADS USING MOTORS Increase of 400 Per "Cent in 1923 Is Recorded. NEW YORK, March 1.—While only 40 railroads were listed last year as operating motor rail coaches # compilation made on January 1st, 1920, shows a total of 157, or an apparent increase of about 400 per cent. These figures indicate that the railroads of the country are not only using the motor coach in an experimental way, but many of them have already found that it is practical and economical. Among the latter may be num- bered the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. It began a test of the motor rail coach about two years ago. Three motor rail aches, each accommodating 30 persons and providing space for 1,000 pounds of baggage, were placed in the service. As a result of the success of this venture, a larger type of gasoline propelled vehicle, providing accommodations for 60 passengers and 2,000 pounds of bag gage, was also placed in service. This is propelled by a 120 horse- power 6-cylinder motor. This larger unit has so proved its worth that the New Haven road has recently ordered 10 new units of the same type. opening night_is still three weeks away, plenty of labor has presented itself and all available time will be used in making preparations. The matter of entertainment has not yet been definitely settled. There is certain to be high class diversion in the form of music, song and dance, but the talent has not yet bech engaged. It is ex- pected that Mr. Doud will exercise his “Ziegfedl Follies” eye while on a trip to Devner in the near future, and will return with the enter- tainers contracted for. The Casper Automotive Dealers’ association is to be congratulated upon their past presentations of this kind, and upon their unceasing efforts to make the present one a success. In the future, the Casper automobile shows will always be held in the spring of the year and the fall show will be done away with entirely. The reason for this is based upon the belief that in the spring, the average man's mind is centered more upon an automobile than it is in the fall of the year. This is excellent logic. The date for the drawing for ex- hibiting positions has not yet been announced, but it will probably not take place until a very few days before opening night.” The Third Annual Automobile show is going forward with a rush, the dealers are behind the movement, the mer- chants are all in favor, and the public has expressed its approval. You may expect a real 1924 auto- mobile exhibition. Dort Is Swamped With Car Demand The Dort Motor company, Filnt, Michigan, has announced that the demand for the new series of six cylinder Dorts has been so tremen- dous that the factory has been un- able to fill orders as rapidly as it had hoped. Production on new cars is being increased, however, and it will not be long before more cars will be coming through.

HORSE DRIVEN OFF THE FARM Steady Decrease Being Shown in Numbers, Count Shows. with Casper NEW YORK, March 1.—(United Press.\—The number of horses on the farms of the United States de- creased 15 per cent in six years. At the beginning of 1918, there were 21,555,000 horses on farms in this country. When 1924 opened this number had decreased to 18,- 263,000. There were, ‘however, in- creases in a number of other domestic animals during the same period. These figures were made public by the National City bank here, from its carefully compiled records. Comparing conditions in the pres- ent year with those of the year pre- ceding the war, 1913, the decrease in horses on American farms was 2,304,000, or about 11 per cent, while the number of other farm an mals showed an increase of 2,236,000 in the same period. ‘The stated farm value of horses fell off $1,101,- 940,000 in the period from 1913 to 1924, while the value of other ant- mals increised $513,415,000 in the same years. The stated value of all’ horses on farms decreased 48 per cent in the 1913-1924 period, while the value pf other farm ani- mals increased 16 per cent in the same’ period. ‘Meantime the number of horses in cities and towns also showed a decrease. The Census Bureau re- ports the number of horses in the United States ‘not on farms’ in 1910 at 3,182,789 and in 1920 at but 1,705,000. “In the meantime, the number of automobiles in use in the United States increased from 1,253,000 in 1914 to 12,300,000 in 1923. ae Expert watch and jewelry _repat ing. Casper Jewelry Co, OS Bid; Two of the most uniquely equip. ped ore carzying ships that ever sailed the Great Lakes are now under construetion and will be ready this summer for service. They are being built for Henry Ford and, unlike most ore carriers, will be fitted both with living accommo tions and engines that will beautiful as well cabins will be fitted with every ac- commodation and furnished after the style of the most sumptuous private yachts. But it fs in the en- xine-room that the real wonders will appear, Mr; Ford has ordered two six cylinder Worthington Diesel en- gines for each ship and has speci- fied that they be made as rich and delightful to the eye as they are ef- ficent for generating power. To..this end it is arranged: that the new engines shall be specially painted and that they be ornament- ed in every way possible with nickle and brushed steel. All the hand rails, nut heads, hand controls, pip- ing, levers, ladders; straps and bands, for instance, are either being finished wholly in nickle plate or in bright steel. The whole effect when they are installed will Be like some colossal ornament in a , giant's parlor. And that is not all. It is going (Above) Ford's Nickle Plated Engine with Glass Ports in Its Sides to be possible for Mr. Ford and his guests to see what is going on inside the engines as well as to feast their eyes on the outside. For that purpose glass portholes are to be installed in the side plates suit- ably illuminated by electric lights and anybody who desires can watch the movements of the great cranks and pistons in comfort from the out- side. The two engines will drive the auxiliary generators which supply electricity for power, lighting, heat and cooking purposes, in addition to furnishing power for some of the electrically operated hoists. | The ships, for which the’ Worth- ington Plump and Machinery Corp is building these Diesel engines, are to be G11 and 613 feet in~ length, respectfully, and will carry ore for the Ford works. The éngines will be operated mostly for the comfort and pleasure of Mr: Ford and his guests when he uses his accom. modations on the ships for short holiday trips. The engine rooms will be the most palatial of any in the country. CAUSE SHOULD BE STUDIED Iii SOLVING ENGINE TROUBLES The diagnosis of a trouble is a matter which should be undertaken without flurry, and much time can be saved by thinking out-the cause before actually tackling the job. As ance*of this, a certain en- gine fitted with two carburetors would only run on two cylinders at high speed. the fact that though there was the normal suction at the air intake of one carburetor there was Investigation revealed} whatever at the other. A few moments’ quiet thought diagnosed the trouble in the following manner, If there is no suction, either the pis- ton, of one cylinder is defective, or the engine is taking in atr from some part other than the inlet pipe. Considering this in detail, it was obvious that the pistons were intact since there was compression in all four cylinders when the handle was turned. Obviously, air was being sucked from some other part. Considering this, it was possible for a leak to occur only through the cylinder head gasket, the spark plug hole, or the exhaust valve seat. The spark plug was certainly tight, the gasket trouble was unlikely, and everything pointed to the exhaust valve. It was quite evident that the inlet valve could not be the cAnother Reason Why —~ Buick Cushions Are Comfortable On All Roads Thecushions on Buick open cars are supported on doub'e-deck springs. The upper springs, light and easy acting, smooth out slight road irregularities, while the larger and stronger lowers absorb the bumps that cause the ordi- nary seat to “‘strike bottom”. Two pads of curled hair between springs and French plaited upholstery give that final softness and assure the purchaser a cushion that will stand up.

Acting on these lines the cylinder head was removed, and though both the exhaust valves of the two cylin- ders affected outwardly appeared to be intact, they were removed, and the valve faces were found to be ex tremely bad. New exhaust cured the trouble. It should be noted in this in- stance that a comparatively small leak in the seat was sufficient.
