1t does not take many days for the
recent purchaser of a car to arrive at
the conclusion that the first cost is by
no means the only item of expense.
After a few spins into the country he
sits down and seriously figures out that
at the end of twelve months he will
have spent a considerable amount to
operate and maintain the car.
In the course of a few months little
adjustments, small breakages due to
neglect, require attention, and repair
bills begin to come in, and he some
times wonders whether or not he has
been foolish to enter into such an >ex-
pensive proposition. 1t certainly does
look like an expensive business. and to
the average motorist it is very expen-
sive.
A large percentage of automobiles
sold today pass into the hands of pur-
chasers who know nothing about the
mechanism of car or the principles
upon which it is constructed. They
receive one or two demonstrations and
a trial run, and then they take hold of
the wheel on their own responsibility.

cause of the car passing into the hands
of the secondhand dealer, and the in
experience and the lack of knowledge
on the part of the owner are the direct
cause of great number of unneces-
sary accidents and road troubles.
While a general inspection Of the en-
tire car at frequent intervals is always
advisable, it Is we'll also to make
systematic investigation with def
mite purpose in mind. For instance,
look at every nut on the car to see If
those which should be protected from
coming off by cotter pin always have
this little detail, and where it has fall
en- off or been neglected supply the de-
ficiency. And, again. look for loose
nuts and have a wrench In hand to
try each of them. In making these
specific searches one will notice other
things which are to be corrected, while
a general investigation may often fail
to discover the disarrangement of mi
mute details which. though small, are
OF great Importance.
1t is very annoying to have the car
rattle and squeak whenever 1t goes
over a little irregularity in the road,
and it Is also bad for the car. Each
squeak means friction in the spring

JEFF'S STUNTS
DISAPPOINTING
Reports from Training Camp at
Rowardennan Do not
Satisfy Public.
is TOO MUCH RELAXATION
Big Fellow Should Do More Regular
Sparring in Order to Recover
Quickness of Eye.
By TOMMY CLARK.

Reports from Jim Jefries' training
camp at Rowardennan vary so much
from day to day that it is next to i'm
| possible for any one to get a correct
line on the real condition Of the former
! boilermaker from newspaper reports.
That the crouch that Jeffries is charg-
ed with harboring has much TO do with
| the unfavorable reports which are sent
broadcast is no doubt true, but there
may be reason, too, which warrants
these statements. One day Jen is as
good as he ever was, and the next
time he goes through some stunts he
shows plainly that he is not in form.
Jeff's desuItory style OF training has
not been altogether pleasing to the
followers Of pugilism who have been
watching from day to day the reports
that emanate from Rowardennan.
While it is conceded that the ex-cham-
pion and his trainers are in a position
to know better than any one else what
the big fellow requires to condition
himself, there Is another side to the
story.
The old question of whether JEFF
fries will be able to stand up under
the strain of a fight was to have been
answered in part by his work in camp.
That work has not been such, however,
as to give any true line. 1t is quite
true that he has done a world of road
work, that he has toiled conscientious
IL in the handball court and gymna-
SUM and that upon occasions he has
worked furiously with the gloves.
There has, however. been too much
relaxation mixed in with the boxing
to satisfy people. For every day that
Jeffries has boxed he has laid off two
and perhaps three, and of actual spar
ring he has had little or no work. In
short, the stories from Rowardennen
have been so regularly of a layoff and
a trip to this place or another that
suspicious have been aroused as to
whether Jeffries dares to go to work
- real earnest
PreIiminaries All Right.
His preliminary exercising mas been
we'll and good, but it Is high time
that he take serious thought of his
boxing. for a man so long out of the
game as JEFF has been needs to regain
that judgment in hitting and that
quickness of the eye that cannot come
otherwise than with the gloves. Since
he settled down in the mountains it
has been announced that after the mid
die of June there will be no boxing
lest there be an accident to his hands.
That means the time for actual train.
ing is narrowing down. At the out
side, Jeffries has not more than
month for actual work. He can afford
do
and where the crowds can see him.
1t is all very well to designate the
newspapers as the eyes Of the public.
but when there is too much secrecy
the masses are quite apt to imagine
things that are not so. All in all. it
behooves Jeffries to get down to seri-
Gus business and let his friends know
just where he stands.

William ('Duckey'0 Holmes. manager

Siliko ard Allen Winter VIII Be
Watched on Grand Circuit.
Among the prominent stables which
will be trained this spring at the North
Randall track is that Of Louis Winans
of Brighton. England, the first stable
from across the water to invade the
harness horse tracks. This stable is
IN charge of Al Pennock, a former
well known Ohio trainer. who for sew
eral years has raced the Winans horses
In England and on the continent.
The star pair are the $4,000 Derby
winner, Allen Winter, 2:061a. and the
Kentucky Futurity winner, Siliko, with
a European record of 2:0S1A. Two or
three European bred horses are also
in the string, and they will be raced in
the slow trotting classes on the grand
circuit
There will be a lot of interest taken
in the temperance of Siliko on this
side. His first start will undoubtedly
be in the $1,000 200 trot at the grand
circuit opening meeting at Kalamazoo.

After having seen the interest which
has been displayed in automobiles
throughout the country it is hard for
the outsider to believe that the motor
car industry will go the way of the
bicycle.
As a person goes around the country
he hears many doubling Thomases say
that the automobile business is one
that cannot last. but if a person only
takes the time necessary to investigate
the question he will find that motor
cars are supplying a want of big i'm
portance on a basis which will never
allow them to fall off in production, as
did the bicycle. In the first place,
we find that the motorcar is supple
menting the horse and buggy, not only
in the city, but also in the farming
communities, where the agriculturist
now goes to market in his auto rather
than behind old Dobbin. This is par
ticularly true in the west, which Is
one of the best territories in the Unit
ed States for auto products. The big
ranchers Of the Dakotas and the thrifty
farmers of Iowa have been glad to
take up with the automobile
Interesting figures were given out
the other day by a prominent automo-
bile factory in the east. by which it
shows that out of it's 1909 output
pretty close to % per cent of the cars
were sold to persons who had used
previous models of the same make; an
additional 10 per cent went to parties
who had driven smaller cars and de
sired to become owners of more pow
erful and higher priced machines.

AUTO WILL NOT GO WAY OF BICYCLE

The lamps are pivotally mounted and
turned easily. Attached to each is a
three piece jointed rod which runs
under the hood Of the auto and con-
meets with the steering gear. When
the wheel is turned the lamps turn
automatically and throw their light
in whatever direction the car is going.
Hitherto in turning a corner the road
just in front was not illuminated until
the motorcar was all the way around
the corner. This has caused many an
accident, as for a few seconds the
driver could not see what was ahead

Since he became a member of the
Washingtons several years ago Johnson
has twirled first class ball, but owing
to poor support by his team/at critical
moments he has lost more games by
one run than any other pitcher in the
country. Place him with a club like
the Cubs. Pirates, Deroits or Philadel-

would come pretty near leading the
