ABANDON L0W-PRICED CARS.
Manufacturers Decide to Discontinue
Popular Models.

II is noticeable from the many an
nouncements OF 1913 models that have
been made within the last sixty days
that number of the large automobile
manufacturers have evidently discontin-
ued the manufacturing of their popular
priced models and decided to conf1ne
themselves in the future to cars that sell
from S1,lO1 and up. There seems to be
q consensus OF opinion among many auto
mobile companies that II is not possible
TO manufacture a strong enough line Of
popular-priced cars and also make more
expensive models. They have. therefore.
abandoned the lower priced machines.
H NJ. levitt. president Of the Paige
Detroit Motor Car Company. states that
for this reason there have been a large
number of visiting dealers who have been
notified by their respective manufactur-
ers whose lines they handle that they
were going to increase their prices and
discontinue the manufacture of popular
priced cars, looking for suitable line
with which to supply the medium priced
demand, and large number OF con-
tracts have been closed with dealers OF
this description by the Patge-Detroit
Motor Car Company.

LOC0MOB|LES SHOW
LUXURIOUS TREND
1913 Models Retain Original
Ideas, With Many Catchy
embellishments.

An examination OF the 1913 Locomobile
models shows that not only do they re-
tain all Of the Locomobile fundamentals,
with certain refinements, which have
made the name a synonym for safety,
reliability and durability, but also that
greater attention than ever before has
been given to those features tending to-
ward greater luxury, comfort and con-
venience.
Three models will be built for 1913, the
Six AS" developing eighty-two horse
power, the ''3S'' Little Six, with sixty
horsepower and the four-cylinder 80. y
These will be furnished In touring, tor
pedo limousine. landaulet and roadster
bodies. All have been redesigned, but as
the changes made on the 49, follow
closely those made on the AS a brief
description Of the latter. which arrived
at the local branch. 1924 Connecticut ave-
hibition, is given here.
The straight line, flush side bodies. beau
tiful In appearance, incorporate several
very novel features. evolved by the Loco
mobile designers, together with the most
advanced ideas Of both here and abroad.
All bodies, including the closed types. are
fitted with an aluminium cowl dash, which
unites the long sweeping lines OF the
body and the straight lines Of the hood
in a very harmonious manner, leaving the
lines of the body unbrOken, this effect
being further emphasized by using con-
cealed door hinges and door handles.
The 1913 equipment includes glass
front SO designed as to be an integral
part of the car, and also q newly design
ed cape top. The cars are fitted with
electric lighting systems. the current
being supplied for the headlights. side
lights, taiIights, handlight, and in addi-
ton, In the closed cars, the dome light,
corner reading lights and the pillar lamps
The battery is carried in a cradle under
the floor boards, leaving the running
board free, while the control switch and
junction box are located on the dash.
The other equipment includes a Disco

cleaning the motor, upholstery. etc. This
pump is driven from the front end Of the
countershaft. and is in operation only
when needed. there being clutch which
cuts it off the shaft at other times. The
carburetor is distinctly the Locomobile
product. differing slightly from those
formerly used.
! No change has been made in the igni-
ton other than the installation OF a six
magnet magnetic in place Of the one for
merly used. The oiling system has been
refined, and to some extent changed. The
practice Of carrying tires at the rear
has been continued. The gas tank Is
also carried in the rear.

HINTS To
MOTORISTS

Fiber washers should never be used In
the fuel line or in any part of the motor
where gasoline in its liquid state is liable
to rest upon them. The action Of the
gasoline upon the fiber washer has q ten
dency to make the motor run sluggfshly
by forming deposit, and lead washers
should always be used in such instances.
The leather covering or boot Of the uni
yersal joint and other leather coverings
about the underbody of the car should be
examined from time to TIME. Flying
stones or sticks are apt to destroy these
and dirt. It Is q simple matter to Keep
them in good order IL attention is given
to them.
Moncgrams on the bg pleasure cars
are being more largely used this season
monogram 1t is the rule to make the
initial Of the surname predominant over
the initial of the Christian name, the
surname being given conspicuous atten-
ton through the medium of attractive
color effects.
Difficulties attendant on the lighting
Of ordinary kerosene dashboard and
tail lamps will largely vanish If before
lighting the wick is first turned up for

to it's proper height. The supposed effect
is that Of squeezing the Oil up into the
upper part Of the wick, where It win more
readily ignite when the fame is applied.

In establishing carburetor connections,
lead washers only should be used. as
leather or fiber is apt to be attacked by
the gasoline, leaking Unions and clogged
jets being the result. Most modern con-
nections are made with ground joints
which require no washers at all; IL they
become deranged 1t is simple matter to
render them tight by grinding them In
with q little crocus powder or emery
-four and Oil.
For vanishing metallic surfaces a mix
ture OF common asphaltum and crude oil
may be recommended. The asphaltum
should be melted and crude oil stirred in
slowly in increasing quantities until
sample removed from the mass and cooled
shows suitable varnish consistency. For
its proper application the mixture should
be applied while hot When properly
mixed 1t Is claimed to possess high heat
resisting properties and to have sufficient
elasticity for all practical purposes.

The secret Of success in painting the
radiator Is to first roughen the surface
OF the metal with a sheet Of fine sand
paper. The coats OF paint applied to
the radiators should be very thin.s IL
these directions are followed any plumb
