A 42 WINNETKA TALK September 22, 1928 Chandler Dealer Gives Tip on Way to Break in Motor "It has always been the practice of a dealer selling a new car to advise the buyer to take it easy for the first 500 or 1,000 miles. Various manu- facturers even go so far as to print a warning, to go with every car, to run slowly for this mileage to insure the owner that his or her car will be properly broken-in," comments Tom Hay, north shore Chandler distributor. "It must be understood that the first 50 miles put on a new automobile oftentimes determines whether that car will render the maximum in satis- factory service. When a new car is run over 30 miles an hour during the breaking-in-period, there is a possi- bility of lowering its efficiency as well as its performance later on. It, there- fore, behooves every new car owner to 'baby' the car for the first 500 miles and besides this, another suggestion should be adhered to very closely. "As is the case with all Chandler motors, and many of the better cars in the industry, the motors, of course, receive a block test or running-in operation at the factory to eliminate stiffness, but even with this every mo- tor has a tendency to be somewhat stiff when new. It, therefore, follows when a motor is stiff it needs ample lubrication, and here is one way to in- sure oneself of breaking in such a mo- tor in the right way. When driving a new car away from the factory, or on a trip, the practice of lifting the foot momentarily from the accelerator should be followed. This, will not in any way lessen the speed of the car, but it will provide a very good effect upon engine lubrication. "Allowing the car thus to drive the engine creates a vacuum in the cylinders, which tends to draw oil into the area above the crankshaft, thereby greatly helping to break in the motor in a satisfactory manner." Bill to Be Introduced to Stop the Use of Stars Declaring that the use of stars on automobiles to avoid traffic law pen- alties is uncalled for, State Senator Arthur A. Huebsch of this district promised this week to introduce at the next session of the general assembly a bill prohibiting the issuing of such stars. "It has been brought out that thous- ands of cars, especially in Cook county, are sporting such courtesy stars," says Senator Huebsch. "I fail to see why anyone needs or should be granted such a privilege. Police cars, fire trucks and ambulances do not need stars to have right of way. Certainly, members of the general assembly don't need such stars and neither do officials or friends of other govern- mental agencies. ~S_---- FasyTo Handle...

METHODS Coming to This Country in 1930 at Invitation of Congress-- Great Interest Is Shown Leading highway officials from all arts of the world are coming to the nited States in 1930 to study Amer- ican methods of road improvement and road use, according to word brought back from the recent sessions of the International Road Commission at Paris, by Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads and chairman of the Highway Education Board. Mr. MacDonald went to France as head of the official dele- gation representing the American gov- ernment at the road meeting. He later made an investigation into phases of highway development in many of the countries of Western Europe and in the British Isles. "Not only was the invitation ex- tended by our Congress through Presi- dent Coolidge accepted unanimously," says Mr. MacDonald, "but from com- ments of delegates from other coun- tries, it is evident there is a deep- rooted, world-wid~ interest in what is being done to improve highways here. The great distinction which exists be- tween our program and that of other nations, is that while here the whole country has adopted motor transporta- tion, elsewhere car use is still largely in the hands of a few. "The rapid expansion in the United States faced our engineers with an urgent demand for the immediate im- provement of hundreds of thousands of miles of highway. At the same time, increased valuations growing out of bettered transportation facilities and a moderate tax upon the vehicle itself made it actually cheaper for the public to have roads than to go without them, so that we were able to embark upon a construction program without parallel in the history of public works without dislocating our financial system. : "Concurrently, we were faced with the question of whether it was cheaper to build these roads slowly and laboriously by human labor as most other countries now do, or whether we should work out mass production methods and so meet the national de- mand quickly. Experience has demon- strated that the latter plan is by far the more efficient and less costly. "Foreign highway engineers who are as well or better versed in the tech- nique of road building as our own men, in the main are only now arriving at the stage where they must meet similar problems in their own countries, hence their interest in the sessions here in 1930. Roads Built Since July 1 at a Cost of $155,177,915 Road building projects completed in the United States since the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1, 1927, amount to 6,592.5 miles at a cost of $155,177,915.59, of which the federal government paid $68,289,824.77, accord- ing to a statement by the Bureau of Public Roads. Federal aid funds still available for federal aid highway con- struction now total $84,115,118.45. The statement points out that pro- jects under construction for a mileage of 11,510.8 miles, will cost $306,185,374.- 92, with the federal government pay- ing $126,486,015.43. These figures in- clude projects reported completed, the final vouchers of which are not yet paid, totaling 3,178.9 miles at an esti- mated cost of $87,211,29512 and a federal aid share of $36,351,738.01. Projects approved for construction, according to the statement, will total 2,363.5 miles, costing $75,742,973.54, of Yhich the federal allotment is $28,725,-
