RECIPROCITY O
REMOVAL OF WAR
TAX AIM OF CLUB
A, A. AV to Push Legislation to
' Aid Motorists and Dealers in
'Entire Nation. r
, ; CHARGING SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESS ! 1
Washington;; IV C TCw. ; 4. fation
. wide reciprocity for motorists and the
; elimination, of discriminatory war ex
cise taxes against automobiles, tracks
and automobile accessories will be the
goat t the legislative activities .of th
.American Automobile association dur
in? the- coming- year, according ., to
. plans outlined by M. O. Eldridge, exe
cutive chairman of h.te; A. A. A-, and
adopted by the executive' board at a
meeting held in Washington this week.
Kldridge explained that the adoption
.;. of tbia policy would in no wise affeet
the attitude of the Instrtct of Colum
bia. di vision of the A. A. A- toward
obtaining reciprocity -with Maryland
through, a gasoline tax in lieu of the
present horsepower . tax on automo
bUes tn the district.
i The executive chairman ' -explained
that-the supreme court of the .United
' States In two decisions, has ruled that
- automobiles traveling from one - state
to another are ; classed as 'Interstate
traffic and that under the - Interstate
commerce law, congress has a right to
- regulate such traffic, s . He called at
' lentloa tb the difference ia automobile
laws of the various . states, some of
which permit a visiting motorist only
30 days within their borders without
; purchasing a new tag. while in others
the period runs as high as six months.
In - my opinion," - said . Eidridge,
"there- should be a national law
authorising a motorist who has paid
for his license tags in his home state
and ' has- complied ; with the laws of
s that state, to motor anywhere' In the
United States without v paying : addi
tional fees." :" .f "
BEXOTAX. OP WAR TAX
J Healso pointed out' that congress
rhas removed war' excise taxes from a
large number of articles, but has, as
yet. made n-move to relieve the auto
mobile, the meat -necessary unit of
individual transportation in America,
of these . burdens. "He expressed the
opinion that the A. A. A.1 should work
; for the- elimination of such discrim
inatory taxes and the executive board
concurred in this opinion. The board
also - went on record as favoring the
building of highways and tbelr mala
tenance under two separate provisions.
It was their opinion- that the current
expenses- or maintenance of such a
road should be paid from current rev-
enues and that the expense of building
-' new : roads, which - are a permanent
benefit,' should be -met. by., bead issues
. ' distributing this burden over a num-
ber- of years. ' '

By means of a (new charging set It
is now possible tof have a storage bat
tery recharged Within f six or f eight
hours at the -plan of George R. Herd,
.local distributor qf the Kxide battery.
The device? known as the constant
potential charging system, has bees
used for several years'at the Exide jCacr
tery, but this et Is the firsts to be
Installed in the Northwest, Herd says
that it -la absolutely i reliable, having
been operated by many battery stations
ia the ..East.. p- . r . iv
A generator and motor mounted. a
a single unit comprises the nucleus of
the- system.. -The batteries to be
charged are connected in parallel in
stead of in series' as In other ey? tarns.
xm motor turns n over at a constant
speed and the .result is that the voltage
flowing from the generator to the eeils
being charged is cdbstant and per
fectly distributed no matter how many
are on the charging panel. As i the
voltage of the batteries rise the in-put
is automatically checked so as to pre

JCconomieai operation ef -an auto
mobile engine idepends largely on the
car taken with the lubrication, Soss
said. This is an important factor and
unless c taken iinto proper considera
tion the engine will be ruined iomr be
fore its span of life is due to end--
"One of the most important things
to dote to change the oil before ita
gets too dirty and gritty,' Graham said.
If the engine 4a forced to run on gritty
oil it soon wears out the friction parts
and the repair bill mounts as well as
the blU for actual running-
"A safe rule to abide by is te change
the oil every 800 miles. This prevents
trouble and that is what all motorists
are striving for. c
ACTS AS CUS.HIOK
f Lubricating oil in an engine . re
duces the wear of .part to i minimum
by acting as ta-cushion between the
moving parts. 1 - As long as the lubri
cating base is Intact the oil is all right
and performs !- its . proper a function.
When it becomes, irrittv. ; however,, it
Acts as an abrasive and cuts away the
metal -it Is supposed to protect-.,
"While the production ef lubricants
has reached , higher degree of - effi
ciency than ever before t the makers
have not reached the point where an pit
will last forever," nor do I think they
ever -will for that -would be too much
like getting perpetual motion. It can't
be done. - . i K"k' h -P'-.
"Due to the intense heat and pres
sure to which oil is subjected while an
engine, is running it tends . to break
down and lose its lubricating qualities.
When this happens the working parts
are no longer protected by the coating
of " oil but wear on each other. Small
bits of steel are torn loose and drop
into the oil. The oil is still Circulated
through the engine and bearing these
bits ef metal create havoc in the vari
ous parts.' ii
HAS HEFIJflTE LIFE
Lubricating ell has a definite life.
Graham explained, that 'is measured in
hours of -running: service. -When the
life has expired the part of the oil act
ing as the protection . to the metal is
destroyed and fit is then of .no -account
and causes noi little damage.
Not many, sane motorists would try
to run an engine and throw emery or
sand into the . cylinders." He went
on, "but that Is exactly what the mo
terist does who runs hie engine op oil
that' has passed its service life.' Th
cylinders are scored,1 the i- bearings
ground out - and then the engine, be
