CAREFUL AUTO WASHING.
Local Dealer Gives Valuable
Information on Proper
Mode of Cleaning.

The washing of an automobile is an
operation that needs more than usual
care as there are so many things that
have to be done correctly or the auto
mobile will soon look like an old ma
chine. said local automobile dealer
yesterday.
I'VE have a number of rules which
we have laid down to our men and
which we follow out very closely. and
these rules include the whole situa-
ton in a nutshell. They are:
Never use soap on the body of the
automobile.
Never use a sponge or channels on
has been washed off.
Keep the sponges and chamois clean.
This means cleaning them half dozen
times while washing one car.
use different sponges on the body
and on the running gear.
Rinse the car thoroughly and care
fully after washing.
DO not use strong force of water
on newly painted car.
DO not wash the car too much. as
each time 1t Is washed it takes just
so much Of the luster off.
"All mud should be taken off with
a hose, as any other way scratches the
car.
Will Keep in Condition.
while these rules do not cover every
thing in washing the can they are
enough that, if followed out. will al
ways keep the car in beautiful condi-
ton and never do it any harm. Too
many men in washing car think that
they can do the same as they used to
do when washing wagon. but it is
an entirely different process, as more
care must be taken in every detail Of
washing an automobile.
LAS far the temperature of the
water is concerned, it depends upon
the season OF the year and the condi-
ton of the car. If the car is covered
with grease. fairly warm water should
be used to take it off, and oftentimes
in winter when the car is covered with
ice. warm water has to be used. Or
dinarily it is best to use water that
has the chill taken off, so that it
makes it more comfortable to work
with.
washing the car consists of first
going at the body thoroughly with a
hose until all the dirt is off and then
Next tackle the running gear. and use
for this a regular automobile soap.
which does not hurt the varnish if used
right After the running gear has
been gone over thoroughly with soap
suds, go over it with a sponge and then
the whole car is rinsed. both body and
running gear Then go over the whole
car carefully with sponge and then
with chamois. Under ordinary cir
cumstances it takes one man an hour
to thoroughly wash one car. However.
when two or three work on 1T 1t does
not take half that time"

Taking Hill on High Speed.

Very many amateur motorists delight

SHOUT GOOD ROADS
Has Become Almost Second
Nature to Advocates.
AUT0ISTS PROFIT MOST
Decent Highways Also a Boon to
Motor Statesmen and Users
in General.

Manufacturers and users OF automobiles
have been shouting for good roads so
long that arguing for improved highways
has become almost a second nature to
them. On every hand. wherever a mo-
torist is to be found. one hears road
talk. from the tops Of the Rocky noun
tains to the gumbo wastes of Iowa But
at that few people realize that it is the
automobile salesman. next to the manu-
facturer, who has profited most by the
work already done to make our highways
better. - 80
For every mile Of improved road in his
territory the motor car salesman is saved
a certain number Of gray hairs. Every
dollar appropriated by government state
or county for road improvement is a
real tangible asset for the salesman. in
economy of effort and saving efficiency
For a good road is second only to judi
cious advertising and quality construc-
ton as a pulling power in selling auto
mobiles
Hard Work for Statesmen.
The motor car salesman in a territory
of unimproved highways has double the
work Of his brother Who is favored with
evidence of prosperity in the way Of
good road building. He has not only to
convince his customer of the value OF
the car he is selling and perhaps over
come the prejudice of the prospective
purchaser to motor cars in general. but
he must overcome the silent but potent
argument against buying presented by
poor highways. The prospective pur-
chaser may be unconscious OF the effect
poor roads have on his mind. but it is
there, nevertheless. Insensib.y, the man
who looks at Il motor is always be-
ing subjected to the argument OF bog
holes and mud. sand and dust that are
confronting him.
On the other hand. the man who lives
In territory in which the highways have
been improved has continual argument
given him for the automobile. The
stretches Of broad, hard well kept road
are selling persuasions which never Ia.l
to make their impression whenever he
sees them. The mind Of such a prospec-
tive buyer is favorably influenced before
he ever sees the car he finally purchases.
Just surely as attractive, effective ad-
vertising creates subconscious desire
for motor car. SO does the good road
present the argument.
Get an automobile and really enjoy
me- the good road is continually Wills
perng to the man Of average means.
whether not he knows what is gong
on.

PURITY PACT" WRONG;
SEEKS A DIVORCE

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.-Urging
that her unique purity pact" with
her husband is entirely wrong both
materially and spiritually, friends of
Mrs. Irene Cunningham were hopeful
that an agreed divorce will enable
her to remarry her husband, Clement
K. II. Cunningham without restrict
ion.
Testifying in her suit for divorce
here Mrs. Cunningham declared that
before she and Cunningham were
married they vowed themselves to
celibacy, at the woman's request as
she wished to make such vow with
God For fourteen years since their
marriage, she says, she kept her vow.
Her husband did also and then he
wished to break it. Despite tempta- :
ton, said the woman, she held to her
vow. That led to quarrels which
caused her to ask divorce.
1t was learned today that Mrs.
Cunningham had asked lawyers whe-
ther legal annulment of the mar
rage would release her and her hus-
band from her vow. Further action
hangs on whether Mrs. Cunningham S
friends can convince her that the
purity pact" would automatically
terminate with the annulment of the
marriage to which it particularly re-
terred. If so convinced, she said to-
day that she would not object to re-
marrying Cunningham and living
with him as other women do with
their husbands.
Understand she said today. "that
while get spiritual happiness out
OF the pact, / have also felt that
something has been lacking in NV re.
lations with my husband. am a
normal woman, not fanatic. | have
the same tendencies as other women
but have held them in check Also
am physically sound.
Whether other women sbould do
as nave is a question I would NOT
advise them to, for it would confront
them with terrible and needless TENN
tatlon. Let everyone live norma,
and happy life. But I must keen the
faith.
Inc idea of marriage and all that
II implies does not revolt r,a
saro IL as sacred. With me it was
a desire to consecrate myself to God
that led me into proposing the pact

IL we had not made this agreement.
my married life would have been as
the average woman is living hers
Nor would l have refused to marry

main celibate."
