dirt and sediment therein often occur,
which give rise to overheating and
other troubles, due thereto. It is ad-
visable to start flushing a radiator with
the water entering in the opposite di-
rection from which it usually enters the
radiator. The object of this is to loosen
up all particles of dirt and scale that
may be damned in between the tubes or
cells in such a way that only a reversed
flow Of water through the radiator will
loosen them.

LACK OF RAIN IN LA.
HELPS ROAD BUILDERS

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 16.-RainfaIl
in Louisiana during the past twelve
months has been unusually light. COM
ing just at this time when the good
roads work is so active, it has been
most fortunate for the motor car in
dustry. Road building has gone for
ward with much greater rapidity than
ever before and dirt roads previously
impossible to cars have been used reg
ularly, thereby creating a demand for
roads that will be passable even In wet
seasons.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-16

merly in most Southern states by les
sees for private gain, are on the roads
The entire South has awakened to its
need. The states are building good
roads. They have a long ways to go
yet. The country is big and not well
settled. 1t is not rich, in proportion to
the East, for example. But the roads
are coming and some of them are won
ders-the gravel roads of Savannah. the
various paved roads around Atlanta,
the sand clay roads of south Georgia.
the shell roads of Florida and around
New Orleans are as good as the world
possesses.
AS roads improve. the owning Of an
automobile becomes better and better
worth while. A man who owns u car
now knows that he can have continuous
use Of it the year round. Some roads
will always be good enough for use
And no road that will let horse drawn
vehicle get through is too bad for a
modern automobile.
Real "Service" Has Come.
Another point should like to call at
tention to is that people who sell auto
mobiles are taking better care OF their
customers than ever before. The word
service" almost unknown in the auto
mobile business decade ago is the
all-important one now Responsible
branches and dealers are making great
er and greater provisions for looking
out for cars bought from them. We
are getting better repair men, getting
larger stock of parts and doing work
free now that used 10 cost money Be
tween the improved cars and the bet
ter service given a man VINO buys an
automobile today can count on less
than half the trouble he experienced
three or four years ago, a fiftieth of the
trouble he experienced ten years back
Cars are being looked out for. They
need a lot less looking after-and they
get a good deal more.
With all these reasons why the 1913
selling season will be d big one don't
think there is the slightest question
but that it will set new marks. The
new year will be a big season for COM
mercial cars; it will be a big season
for six-cylinder cars-and in general it
will be a big season for all automobiles
Manufacturers are making tremendous
preparations for supplying the demand
that has already been indicated. They
VIII make more cars this year than
they ever made before And they will
sell them, too.
Looks Good For Atlanta.
For Atlanta d fine season can safely
be predicted This city is the only
logical center for the automobile bust
ness in the South In the long run
more automobile business will be done
here than in any other three Southern
cities put together.
In this connection, hope nobody will
overlook the part the Atlanta Automo-
bile and Accessory association has
played in building the city up as an au-
tomobile center. This body of Atlanta
dealers and branches has fought adj
verse laws, has worked for good roads,
for road signs, for better business
methods, and has promoted two shows
that have done vastly more than any,
thing else to put Atlanta on the auto
mobile map to stay.

UPHOLSTERY is EASY TO
CLEAN IF YOU KNOW HOW

OF course, every motorist knows the
standard recipe for cleaning and re-
newing leather upholstery, but it is
good enough to bear repeating. Raw
linseed oil and turpentine mixed in
proportions of two of the former to one
of the latter is the time honored form
ula. For cleansing cloth upholstery use
clear water and a mixture of ga of an
ounce OF common salt and two ounces
of either grain or wood alcohol, simply
rubbing the cloth with q sponge damp

House movers in North Topeka are
in the habit of cutting limbs off trees
which happen to interfere with the
progress of their work, without con-
sent of the property owners or from
the proper city officers. In doing his
a number of trees have been ruined
and citizens in North Topeka have
registered a complaint. Title to the
land in front of the property is held
by h county, but is under the con-
troll of the city. even with this the
property owner practically has control
and is entitled to damages. 1t is re-
ported that a number of trees have
been injured unnecessarily and the
house V have been cautioned to
stop such practice. The property
owners of the city, although not
holding title to land which is includ-
ed in the lawn in front of their homes,
take considerable trouble in making
them attractive and house movers or
any other person who wilfully de-
stroys the beauty of such is subject
to prosecution.
