Nina Baker Who Conducts First Ra-
dio Tourist Service in World Over
WBBM Chicago
It over the week end or during the
vacation period the best route to get
there and what to take along Affili-
ations have been established with
more than 2000 motor clubs cham-
bers of commerce garages hotels re-
sort and information bureau and the
prestige and resources of all these will
be available for tourists who make
use of the bureau's service
Gear Slipping Due to
Faulty Shifter Forks
When the gears acquire the habit
of slipping back Into neutral from
high or second the trouble is due to
the shifter forks If they are worn
the gears will not always be fully
engaged and where there is consider-
able strain or vibration (as in cilmb-
ing a steep hill in second) it will be
necessary to hold the shift lever in the
desired position Misalignment of the
forks will often cause the gears to
slip back to neutral from any position
particularly annoying in the case of
slippage from high to neutral when
descending grades If the trouble is
confined to the latter and is slight it
can often be overcome by avoiding
sudden application of power or brakes
and by gentle handling of the clutch
Neglect Is Blamed for
Loss of $1000000000
More than $1000000000 annually is
wasted by neglect in the maintenance
of automobiles!
Neglect in lubrication and adjust-
ments cause the principal loss
Other evils which contribute to the
waste are faulty brakes wheels out of
alignment worn parts and the like
It has been estimated that more
than 50 per cent of all accidents are
a direct result of faulty brakes
This huge waste is considered un-
necessary and due to carelessness
alone on the part of auto owners
WHERE MOTORISTS MUST STEP ON THE GAS
"You must go 25 miles per hour
over this viaduct" says a sign at
the entrance of a viaduct near
Miami Fla and traffic cops are
on hand to see that the motorists
obey The new Florida law per
motorists to run 45 miles per
hour in the country districts 25
through residence sections and 15
through buciness sections

Investigate When Knock
or Grind Is Discovered
It is fortunate that the majority
of serious derangements to which a
car Is subject make themselves known
by unusual sounds generally of such
a disagreeable and obtrusive charac-
tr:: as to force themselves upon Of
operator's attention A elti at runs
quietly is generally speaking a car
In good mechanical condition and on
the contrary a car which makes as
unusual amount of noise or sounds
that It did not make when new and
In good condition is one which Is me-
chanically unfit In certain particulars
at least Excessive noise or the de-
velopment of unusual sounds is usual-
ly the first indication of faulty me-
chanical condition of the working
parts especially and as a rule no con-
siderable repairs are required so long
as its operation is smooth and com-
paratively noiseless
Any increase of noise or any new
operative sound should however be at
once located and thoroughly investi-
gated for the ignoring of such a warn-
ing may lead to great trouble and ex-
pense Until the engine knocks or
pounds one need not worry about It
and If it does knock one should al
ways be sure it is free from carbot
before going ti the expense of inspect-
ing and adjusting the bearings and
making piston repairs Unusual hum-
ming or grinding sounds usually Indi-
cate that gears or gear shaft bearings
either in the transmission or In the
rear axle are in trouble
The trouble may be lack of lubrica-
tion or something worse and proper
lubrication should be assured before
It is assumed that anything serious is
the matter Rattles commonly arise
from loose parts or worn-out spring
shackle pins or bushings Squeaks
(aside from those arising from the
springs and the body) are usually from
Inadequately lubricated bearings some-
where in the transmission line After
ronsiderable driving experience an op-
erator almost unconsciously takes note
f any departure from the regular
sound and motion of his car and with-
ut conscious effort is always in a po-
sition to investigate at once anything
that has gone wrong
Many Bus Fares Needed
to Pay Federal Taxes
Fifty million ten-cent passengers
must be carried by the motor bus
companies of the country each year
just to pay federal taxes
The keeping of obligatory tax re-
ceipts is responsible it Is said for
the higher cost of tires and parts
Bus owners are paying about a
dozen kinds of taxes federal state
and local
The efficiency and economy of the
motor bus have been recognized by the
United States army It has been
found cheaper to transport soldiers by
motor bus when the time element will
permit Reports show that there was
a large saving when troops were
transported in busses last summer
from Fort Benjamin Harrison Indi-
ana to Camp Ferry Ohio
It has also been found that less
than 10 per cent of the loss of passen-
gers by railway lines was caused by
motor busses Most of this loss oc-
curred before motor busses came into
general use and was due to private
automobiles
The motor bus it is asserted has
been accepted with less urging and ex
ploitation than any other serv:ce ever
offered the public The desire to "rids
on rubber" and the safety comfort
and convenience provided by the bus
are given as the cause
Small Autombile Seen
as Future Possibility
A 1000-pound three-passenger auto-
mobile Is the future possibility of the
small American car O E Huff engi-
neer told the Cleveland section of the
society of automotive engineers
The small car of today is not suited
to drive in heavy traffic where fre-
quent spurts of speed and frequent
sudden stops are necessary he said
"The small car has become the most
important question in the industry"
Huff said "It is no longer a question
'of making the car better for the same
price
"We don't know yet how to denatur-
alize a four-cylinder motor but if it
isn't done soon the public will de-
mand a car with the same facilities
or comfort in operation as they en-
joy with a big car and we will have
to put in a six"

The Flag Stone Path
"Come in"greeted our host proud-
ly swinging open the low arched gate
that led into his garden "I've just
finished my flag-stone path and I'm RI
set up over it as if it were the milky
way Looks a bit like it at that
doesn't it I But I've always thought
that a garden path should be a curv-
ing informal wandering sort Of thing
with groups of flowers surprising you
at every curve"
"Well it's lovely" we admitted
"How did you ever get it so regularly
irregular? The stinies are all sizes
and shapes yet it has a stunning pat-
tern" "Took lots of time and thought and
planning" said the host 111 got brok-
en flag stones you know from a con-
tractor who thought I must be crazy
to want damaged broken pieces But
they work up better than perfect
stones They all bad to be fitted to-
gether with edges that ran reason-
ably parallel I made wide joints be-
tween them—three inches in some
places and filled these in with rich
wood earth over which I scattered
fine grass seed and clover seed The
stones themselves are set in sand The
grass seed is just springing up you
see—next spring it will fill in every
crevice with a thick green turf Here
and there we have planted tiny bloom-
ing things—English daisies dande-
lions moss pink and crocuses
"Creative work like this is the per-
fect exercise for autumL if a man
enjoys outdoor building Then too
the growing things get a good start
before frost and are ready to cover
up the raw edges by spring I often
wonder why city people don't put ir-
regular friendly walks like this lead-
ing up to their houses instead of har&
concrete approaches It would make
many a house on a city street look
more like a home!"

tit which stood gath
ering dust and
overfamiliarity during the twenty-
three hours a day when it was not in
use has given way now to the noise-
less tea-wagon which comes trundling
In only when needed laden with a
shining tea service and spotless silver
The handy little muffin-stand of a
year or two back with its three tiers
of plate shelves—one shelf to a tier—
has lieen developed by the thoughtful
manufacturers into a newer form in
which three plate holders all on the
same revel are presented to the guest
It used to be somewhat emtarrassing
to give the top shelf the once-f ver
and then glance tentatively at the
lower plates as if to see whether
some more delectable dainty might not
be found there! The circumspect
guest was apt to help herself to the
top plate only thereby mlssing some
goody that was hidden modestly on a
tower floor
The three-sided muffin stand of this
year—sometimes it has only two sideby-side
plates instand of three—is apt
to hold one plate of cheese wafers
one plate of delicate sandwiches and
one of luscious cakes although this
Is varied by such tea accompaniments
as English muffins Scotch scones ein-
namon or nutmeg toast savory rounds
of whole wheat or rye bread spread
with anehoq or caviar thin bread
and butter rolls or sweets in the form
of tiny cakes macaroons brownies or
some glorified kind of cookie Moist
cakes with oozing fillings should never
be served at the tea hour as they
make the fingers sticky even it they
' do not actually drip upon the gown
Sometimes one of the trio of plates
contains bonbons or salted nuts
sometimes the sugar lemon cream
and a glass of mint sprigs Occupy one
of the spaces and the stand may be
placed in the center of a group and
left there The lower shelf is either
filled with a bowl of fruit or left va-
cant so that empty cups may be set
upon it thus avoiding a trip to the
tea table in case no servant is present
