Motor cars have much in common human body, declares B. H. Anibal, vice president in charge of engineer- ing for the Oakland Motor Car Co. dependent upon proper supplies of air and fuel,” Mr. Anibai asserts, “and the intelligent safeguards that assure a long and healthy life for a man will accom- plish the same result for an automobile. “Take the matter of air. A man in- hales air into his lungs where it charges. the blood with oxygen which ‘burns’ when the muscles contract on orders received from the brain. And the auto- mobile carburetor ‘inhales’ air—100 to 1,000 cubic feet every minute—mixes it with gasoline and sends it to the cyl- inders where electrical flashes from the distributor cause the mixture to burn and move the pistons. “If dirt or other foreign matter en- ters the lungs of a man, it interferes with their functioning. Therefore na- ture has provided man with an air cleaner, & collection of tiny hairs in the nostrils which strain dust and im- purities from the alr. But the dust, sand and minute flakes of abrasive concrete in the air above every road prove equally harmful to the interior of an automobile engine. They mix with the ofl on the cylinder walls, score the };mumn, rings and cylinders, and finally lorm & gummy deposit on the cylinder |- head, valves and pistons. In fact, a large prorortion of the so-called ‘carbon de- posit’ in an automobile engine is just plain dirt caked with ofl and baked hard by the heat of the cylinder ex- plosions. Air Cleaners Put on Cars, “Following nature’'s example, man has provided varfous types of air cleaners with which to protect automobile en- gines from road dust. “But, in addition to pure air, both man and motor also need pure food. Dirt or grit proves equally objectionable to either. Man exercises countless pre- cautions in keeg:‘m his food free from dirt. And he has invented a gasoline strainer to serve the same function on the automobile engine. First, the gaso- line must pass a settling chamber which catches any water that may be present and retains any heavy Dparticles of foreign matter which settle to the bot- tom of the chamber as fine grounds settle in the bottom of a coffee cup. This settling chamber is constructed of clear glass so that one may deter- mine at a glance when it should be emptied. And before entering the car- buretor the fuel also must pass through & fine mesh scregn—additional assur- ance thas only clean gasoiine can reach the engine. Styles Also Parallel. “Another interesting parallel between the human race and the automobile is found in the detail of style and ap- potzanos; a8 exemplified in the era of istles, voluminous flounces and long skirts of women compared with bulky, with that marvelous mechanism, the | “The proper functions of both are | Of Automobiles Exhibited at Show The ninth annuel automobile show, which opened last night at the Wash. ington Auditorium, 1900 E street, is held under the auspices of the Washington Automotive Trade Association, of which organization Edward M. Wallace is again president. Rudolph Jose is chairman of the show committee and John A. Dugan, Frank P. Stewart and Raphael Semmes, members.

A motor-minded public, profiting by every development of the automobile, is benefiting equally by increased use of the motor truck and motor coach, and many factors that point to the cone tinued high volume in passenger car production in 1929 also apply to the commercial car field. Production figures for the year should be the highest in the history of the industry, according to Howard E. Sneathen, director of Dodge Brothers' truck sales. The utility of the commercial ca= which alone determines sales, has been significantly advanced by numerous en- gineering improvements. Four-wheel brakes, four-speed transmissions, power~ ful six-cylinder engines and other ad- vancements in construction as developed during the last year are indicative of improved design that insures new con- ceptions of speed, dependabllity and economy in the movement of merchan- dise. Hundreds of body and chassis types insure the adaptability of trucks to gll transportation needs. The sale of approximately 500,000 units last year was concrete evidence of the practical and desirable features of truck operation. Directly or indirectly, the public is becoming more and more dependent on facilities offered by trucks, delivery cars and motor coaches. The newspaper purchased at the corner, food, home furnishings, clothes—in fact, almost every article has been handled some- where by motorized delivery. Paved roads and widening projects have increased the utility and profitable operation of trucks for all concerned. The coming vear will see the growth of the motor truck terminal idea, where merchandise can be transferred and dis- tributed speedily for intercity destina- tions. Progress in this direction was accomplished during the year on a scale comparable to the growth of terminals of central stations for motor coaches. Flexibility of truck routes, permitting direct carrier service between remote localities and trade centers, has resulted in untold benefit for the city consumer and the country producer of foodstuffs and the country consumer and the city producer of finished products. The utility of trucking will not be confined to short hauls requiring a few hours’ time in the future. Recently an enthusiastic owner reported that his two-ton truck made a run of 1,255 miles in 56 hours and 33 minutes. The trip was from Ypsilanti, Mich., to Orlando, Fla, and the truck carried a load of household furniture. Transcontinental motor coach lines now operating through from coast to coast indicate the possibilities of long-distance passenger transportation “on rubber.” So rapidiy | ave bus lines developed that they out- number rail lines in many cities, while the volume of passenger and freight traffic daily dependent on motor vehicle transportation steadily increases. There is every indication that 1929 will see an increased truck and motor coach consciousness on the part of the public as the great possibilities of these medes of transportation are realized.
