Finest Electrical Garage.
The Cook e Stoddard Company lay
claim to having the finest electrical ga

THE FORD CAR

In an interview with Claude z. Miller
of the firm of Charles E. Miller & Bro,
who represent the Ford line of auto
mobiles in this city, he states it is inter-
esting and instructive to follow the line
Industry. This house began business
seventeen years ago. selling bicycles.
From it's inception their bicycle business
grew each year. reaching its maximum
in 1896 and 1897, when bicycles were the
fad and the healthful exercise was en-
joyed by both men and women. It is I'M
fortunate, Mr.. Miller states. from a ply
steal point of view alone that the bicycle
has fallen in the estimation of so many
health seekers. for many a robust man
today can attribute much of his health to
the physical development attained by rid
ing a bicycle.
Handled Steam Cars.
Immediately upon the advent Of the
automobile this house at once negotiated
for the sale Of steam cars. selling the
factory building where the Maxwell is
now made. One Of their first purchasers
was Dr. Wiley OF pure food law fame.
who used his small steamer for pleasure
until very recently. The gasoline auto
mobile was in it's infancy at the time the
steam automobile was having its day.
and the first gas engine car received by
this firm was not q success. They were
convinced, however. that the car OF the
future was undoubtedly the gas engine
type, and believe this engine, by reason
of its power. economy and adaptaoiilty,
the best to be. obtained.
This firm embarked in the automobile
industry in 1890. and claim the distinction
of being the oldest automobile house in
the city Of Washington. Each year has
seen an increase in their volume OF bust
ness. This year. to date. has been their
banner year but each succeeding year
may be said to have claimed the same
title.

been received for this car. the purchasers
having put up their money on the gen.
eral reputation of the house and the Ford

portunity of seeing any OF the new line

In regard to possible reduction in the

that this may result some day In the re-

CRAWFORD CAR WITHOUT CHAIN
MODEL OF 1908 WILL HAVE
DIRECT DRIVE.
Garage to Include School for Chauf-
feurs, Where Men VIII
Be Trained.

The makers Of the Crawford automo-
bile have decided to put out this year
a car with a direct drive.
They have great faith in the chain
and have always used it. In response
to the demands Of many of their pa
irons, however. they have decided on
a departure in this years model
They are not going to risk any ex-
periments. An axle that has been in
successful use on thousands Of popular
cars will be applied.
They are putting up a new garage at
632 l. street. where there will be not
only storage room for a large number
of cars. but where the incest repairs
can be carried on at short notice. The
company will carry a large line of du-
plicate parts and accessories, and will
have men on hand at all times who are
capable Of the highest class Of work.
One Of the new departures of the
garage will be a school for chauffeurs
The supply OF good men in this line is
limited. The company will train the
best men in all lines Of car driving,
repair and attention.
This will be a great help to many
owners OF cars who have found that
really good and well trained men are
difficult to- secure. especially In an
emergency when they are particularly
wanted. =.
The Crawford people are not aiming
to put out q particularly cheap car. but
one OF medium price and, IN the highest
degree. reliable.

In engines which have separate exhaust
pipes and no compression taps a cylinder
which is missing may easily be detected
by drop or two of water on the exhaust
pipes. On the pipe Of the missing cylin-
der the water will not be converted into
steam.
To insure permanent and positive avoid
ance OF leakage 1t Is recommended by q
foreign expert that pipe joints which are
to be closed with asbestos-hned copper
gaskets be made with a paste Of graphite
or black lead and boiled oil. In this con-
nection care should be taken not to daub
the mixture on any of the threaded por-
lions of the joint or its connections, as
the paste becomes very hard after it has
been permitted to eel.

A Bel From the Sea.

Probably very few people are
aware that an old ships bell which
for many years had lain under the
sea is suspended in the underwrit.
ing room at Lloyd's and is used to
Announce" the arrival of overdue
ships.
This Is the bell of the frigata
Lutine, wrecked long ago off the
Dutch coast. After being under wat
err for years the bell was salyed and
now, strangely enough. is employed
to inform underwriters that some-
thing has been heard of one of those
ships which by their protracted pass
ages are causing uneasness.
Not every ship that is on the over
due market is announced in this
manner. 1t is only when an under
writer has expressed TO the COM
mittee hts desire for immediate i'm
formation Ia respect to this or that
overdue vessel that the note of the
old black bell rings through the
rooms.
At the present time there are elev-
en- ships down on the list for an
nouncement by the Lutine bell. but
some of these are so hopelessly over
due that 1t is practically certain no.
thing further will be heard CT them.
The big steel bark Alsternixe, for
instance heads the list. She was for
merly the British ship Lord Temple
more and was built at Belfast in
1892. This ship has not been heard
of since last November. when she
sailed from Callao for Australia
