BROOKLYN BOY IS QUICK CHANGE MARVEL
Photograph shows Isadore Oholeff of Brooklyn, N. X., who won the tire-
changing contest recently held In Brooklyn by an association of automobile
supply owners. He ran away with first honors by changing 60 tires an hour
or a tire a minute. Photograph shows him In the act of changing one of the
tires on an auto after removing another, all of which he does inside of one
minute.

An electric generator for recharg-
ing a storage battery on automobiles
not so equipped, can be easily in-
stalled by the car owner at small cost
and without 4ny radical alterations to
his engine. The advantages of such
an installation are obvious : It per-
mits the use of electric light and pro-
vides a separate source of current for
the ignition as well as current for an
electric horn, cigar lighter, and any
other attachments that may appeal to
the owner.

Safety in a Nutshell
A fifteen-year-old girl of De-
troit has written these slogans
for automobllists:
“Drive right and more pedes-
trians will be left.”
“Watch your ‘step on it.’ ”
“Taking the other fellow’s
dust is better than ‘to dust re-
turneth.’ ”
“Six feet have awaited many
a driver who wouldn’t give an
inch.”—Boston Transcript.

do this, a small generator can be ob-
tained second hand at a moderate cost
from a dealer in wrecked and dis-
mantled cars.
The generator is attached to the car,
as shown, by a strap that encircles the
generator and is held by the cylinder
head bolts. The strap Is of heavy
gage sheet Iron and need not be par-
ticularly rugged, as the belt drive
does not place much strain on it.
A pulley is fixed to the shaft of the
generator so as to come directly in
line with the fan pulley. The drive Is
obtained by increasing the length of
the fan belt and running It jointly
over the fan and generator pulleys.
The fan pulley adjustment is used to
obtain the belt tension required.
This method of attachment and
driving will apply to practically any
engine.
If the generator Is in good condi-
tion and the belt adjustment correct,
the device will prove practically fool-
proof.—‘By George A. Luers In Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
Grease Cups Useful in
Keeping Out Much Dirt
Grease cups serve an extremely use-
ful purpose in bearings that are ex-
posed to dirt, because the grease is
continually working out of the ends of
the bearings, which tends to prevent
the entrance of dirt. Care must be used
to screw the cups down until the grease
begins to show at the ends of the bear-
ings. Also the utmost care should be
taken to keep the supply of cup grease
clean; keep the pail or other recepta-
cle In which It Is kept covered. Grease
cups should be wiped off before they
are unscrewed, so that dirt will not be
carried up inside.

Spring Overhauling Is
of Greatest Importance
*Unfortunately, the increasing year-
around use of the car has served
largely to eliminate the annual spring
overhauling performed by those mo-
torists of a decade or so ago who re-
ligiously “put their cars up” for the
winter. While electric lights and
self-starters, hard-surfaced roads,
closed bodies and other cold weather
comforts have brought the modern
.automobile into its most effective field
|of usefulness, it, nevertheless, requires
[as rigid Inspection, adjustment and
general overhauling as did the “horse-
less carriage” ancestors of today’s
motorcar.
Therefore, regardless of whether a
car is used twelve months in the year,
or but seven months out of that
'twelve, the spring Is the best
for such Inspection and Overhauling^
Th£ action of cold, snow and frozen
ruts affects many parts, including the
engine, cooling system, steering gear
and tires.
The man who keeps his car in per-
fect mechanical condition will also
take pride In Its appearance. No
piece of furniture receives more care
in its original finish than does the
modern automobile. In consequence,
the motorcar should receive the same
care with wax and polish as does the
grand piano—more, in fact, for the
former Is subjected to the action of
heat, cold, rai*, mud and tar, whereas
the pampered musical Instrument Is
protected from the elements.—H. W.
Slauson, in Leslie’s.
COMMISSION ADOPTS
REPORT OF EXPERTS
Reparations Body Accepts
Dawes’ Findings and Paris
Is Much Elated.
Loosening of Bolts Not
Difficult to Prevent
It Is a common failing of so-called
stove bolts to become loosened after
a comparatively brief period of serv-
ice In holding together wooden and
metal parts. The failure Is apt to
come through the loosening of the
head In its seating, this permitting
the nut to obtain enough slack to rat-
tie loose on its thread. A simple way
of preventing this difficulty Is to en-
large the slot across the head of the
bolt, cutting the ends pretty deep by
the aid of a file and then bending over
a short length of copper wire, of the
size to fit in the slot. In this way a
couple of ridges are formed on either
si fie of tjie head, which effectively
prevent its turning so long as a rea-
sonable amount of pressure Is brought-
to bear upon It.
Paris.—The reparations commission
Friday accepted the report of the
Dawes committee of experts and rec-
ommended its acceptance by the allied
governments, provided Germany will
agree.
Louis Barthou, French member, an-
nounced France’s acceptance.
Sir John Bradbury, British member,
informed his colleagues that Ramsay
Macdonald and the British labor cabi-
net had approved the plan.
The Belgian and Italian members
followed suit.
At the same time word came from
Berlin that the German government
virtually had decided to accept the
Dawes report.
The plan now will be sent to the
allied governments for separate con-
sideration.
The. United States also will be given
an opportunity to study the experts’
findings.
The American government is prepar-
ed to support the unofficial role laid
out for the United States in the repara-
tions settlement proposed in the Dawes
report, it was understood authoritative-
ly.
The United States would:
1. Furnish a considerable part of the
huge foreign loan contemplated to put
Germany on her feet.
2. Appoint American citizens on the
various boards of control, to see that
the Dawes financial plan is carried out
by Germany.
The reports of the expert reparation
committees contain the following
points:
Germany needs resources of German
territory and free economic activity
therein.
A new bank, or the Reiehsbank re-
organized to establish official rate of
exchange discount, is proposed to hold
on deposit reparation payments. Allied
interests will be safeguarded by a
general board, of which half the mem-
bers will be foreign.
Germany must pay within the ut-
most limit of her capacity her external
treaty obligations. German people
Bhould pay taxes cemmensurate with
the burden of the French, English and
Belgian tax-payers.
Germany will pay treaty charges
from three sources: Railway, tax, in-
dustrial debentures.
Reparation payments, fixed on a
sliding scale, run from 110,000,000
gold marks in 1926 to 2,500,000,000
in 1934.
To prevent these payments from, af-
fecting adversely Germany’s financial
stability, an index of prosperity has
been fixed.
German railroads are made security
for payments. German industry is ex-
pected to provide 5,000,000,000 gold
marks.
Seeks to eliminate the cause of the
exodus of German capital and to in-
duce its return by granting amnesty
for a limited time.
Germany needs help from abroad to
the extent of S00,000,000 gold marks,
partly to capitalize the new gold bank.
Transportation systems, greatly ex-
tended and improved during recent
years, furnish excellent sources of
revenue and an adequate pledge, along
with monopolies, for the payment of
reparations.
Half Million Used Cars.
St. Louis.—More than 500,000 used
automobiles were in the hands of au-
tomobile dealers at the close of March,
according to figures made public this
week by the National Automobile Deal-
ers’ Association- This is about 25 per
cent more cars than were in the stocks
of dealers at the close of the first quar-
ter of 1923.

Texas election contest will be con-
cluded this week. The ballots of only
one county, Zavalla, remain uncount-
ed and when this is finished the totals
of votes in the various columns will
be .taken.
Cracked Cylinder
For the car owner who likes to do
his own repair work here Is an Inter-
esting way to repair a cracked cylin-
der: Drill a small hole at each end of
the crack and tap It for a copper plug.
Scfape the surface near the crack un-
til the metal Is bright. Cover the
crapk with soft copper - filings and
melt them In with a blow torch. Use
a flux of rosin dissolved in alcohoL
People used to commit suicide by
blowing out the gas. Now they Btep

Suppose you have defi-
nitely decided to buy a
Chevrolet this Spring,
That does not necessari-
ly mean that you are
going to get it.
Anyone posted on con-
ditions in the automo-
bile business will tell
you that thousands of
families are going to be
unable to get cars this
Spring, That has been
true almost every Spring
for years, but the short-
age in April, May and
June, this year, is going
to be more serious than
ever before.
The only way to be sure
If you do not want to
pay for it in full at this
time, any Chevrolet
dealer will arrange terms
to suit your convenience,
so you canpayasyouride•
You will be surprised to
learn how easy it is to
pay for a Chevrolet.
Will Chevrolet Advance Prices?
