This particular kirmess. II is said by
those who have witnessed the rehear-

quarter of century. even surprising
that in which American beauty. May

peels off. while some other car retains
it's new and fresh appearance for
two or three years or more.
He may find that to keep his car
In running order he must be con-
tinually tinkering with one part or
another while the user OF some ether
car seldom had occasion to open the
tool kit,
He may find that his engine heats
and the water boils. while the engine
in some other car never overheats.
He may lind that after few
months running that the engine
bearings have become worn. that no
provision at all has been made for
adjusting them and that ii has to
be sent TO the maker for new bear
ings. Or he may find that even
though. adjustments are Provided the
engine practically has to be taken
down TO get at them. while with some
other car these bearings are readily
accessible and that ii Ia but the work

About Smoking Cars.

He may find that his car emits
volumes of smoke. which becomes
extremely obnoxious TO other mo-
florists and pedestrians; that his en-
CINE and spark plugs must be cleaned
every few weeks, while some other
car with. the right kind OF fEbricat-
ing system emits no smoke at all
and runs for months and frequently
a year or two without even having
the spark plugs removed.

and very few makers do this. On
the other hand with cylinders cast

He may find that the engine in his
car requires an excessive amount NJ

Cha nglng of Gears.

He may find that the changing OF
gears is accompanied by crash and
a grind. while in some other car the
change is hardly perceptible.
He may find that his car rides hard
and stiff. that the springs seem un-
yielding and that his car is less conn
Portable to ride in over asphalt
streets than is some other car over an
unimproved road,
He may find that his car runs
smoothly and quietly when new, but
soon becomes noisy and shakes and
ratties because 1t has no means for
adjustments to take up wear, while
some other car, after months and
years OF use. runs just as smoothly
and as quietly as when new.
He may find that his car runs all
right on level streets and roads. but
when il comes to sand and hills it has
not the power TO make the pulls.
He may find that he can get only
eight or ten miles on gallon of
gasoline, while with some other car
the mileage runs from 60 TO 80 per
cent. greater.
He may find that after few
months or even weeks, his engine Is
losing power, and. do what he may.
