PRAISES AMERICANS
FOR SPORTSMANSHIP
Jules Geux, Winner of Memorial Day
Race at Indianapolis, Com
mends Rivals:

Jules Goux, of France, who won the
500-miIe race at indianapolis on Memorial
Day. has gone to France in order to
practice for the Grand Prix race, in
which he is to be a competitor.
Before his departure, the Frenchman
spoke very highly of the sportsmanship
of the American drivers, and he intends
to be in their company again in the Van
derbilt and Grand Prize races. to be
run in Savannah, and possibly in the
big beach meet to be conducted at CAL
weston, Tex, next month. In speaking
of the race, Goux said:
1T gave me the greatest feeling of
comfort at all times to know that my
cooling system was in perfect order. and
the motometer. which 1 carried on the
radiator cap of my car throughout the
race saved me those precious seconds
usually consumed in removing the cap
to examine the heat. of the water. Here
tofore. neither in racing nor touring con-
tests has there ever been any device to
warn the driver of heating troubles, and
I consider the motometer a most neces-
sary device on any car. Even at the
highest speed I had absolutely no diff

Cooperation of Auto Dealers
Eliminates Prospective
Buyers Friends"
AGENTS HERE LIKE PLAN
Believed Central Exchange Will Estop
Men Who "Know a Fellow
About to Buy"

Local automobile dealers will in the
near future get together and take active
steps toward the elimination OF one of
the great evils which they have had to
contend with in the past. 1t is proposed
that a stop be put to the practice of
paying commissions for names OF pros
pective buyers by their so-caIled friends.
Often in the past such friend would
give 20 a number of automobile dealers
the name of a man who he knew con-
templated purchasing a car. thereby as
surfing himself of a commission from
whichever dealer the purchase was made
from.
The most effective way 10 meet this
situation is in organization" said a
well-known automobile dealer of this
city This has been accomplished in a
number of cities. The dealers must for
get business rivalry. at least TO the point
where they can unite to protect their
own JOINT interests and with a central
bureau 10 give information upon re-
quest the commission evil would quickly
be wiped out
In one city. when a prospect Is given
TO a dealer the name and commission
offered is telephoned to the central eX-
change. Should the prospect be given
to another dealer. he also telephones to
the exchange and is Immediately in
formed whether or not the name has
been presented elsewhere.
In this way the scheme is discovered
and the informants attempt TO get the
dealers TO bid against each other is
effectuaIly defeated. II would be WELL
perhaps, if all dealers would unite in
absolute refusal to give commissions or
any kind in return for such informa-
ton, but if a commission Is to be paid,
4 uniform rate should be fixed in order
to avoid the pitfau OF ruinous competl-
tive bidding.
The major profits Of the sale must
inevitably. under those circumstances, go
% the third party to the transaction.
The central exchange. where established,
also can be utilized to provide CONN.,
dental information to the dealers of the
financial credits of those with whom
Ihey engage IN business dealings.

1t has been suggested, since the prac-
tice Of inclosing the valve mechanism
with a metal plate has become more or
less common, that a section of rubber
hose slightly larger in diameter than the
valve spring be slipped over the valve

But faults developed and tires

have the barrel type of valve, and the
constant movement of the throttle as the
car is accelerated and retarded causes
wear. which results In leakage of air
around the barrel and consequent irregu-

putting a carburetor so worn in perfect
condition is to copperplate the barrel,
depositing just enough metal to make the
barrel Mt tight.

Many motorists who today buy one Of

More and more. manufacturers have
come to realize that lasting sales sue

Skillful service is used increasingly as
a sales argument by dealers, and often
for long periods no charge is made for
the minor adjustments and skilled ad-
vice given a novice.
"a step still further in advance has
been taken by the Studebaker Corpora

cars thoroughly familiar with the forces
that make the wheels go round
with infinite care. and at no small
expense, the Studebaker engineering de-
partment has compiled, in terms which
any layman can understand, an informa-
ton book, with a separate edition for
each of the three Studebaker models.
The book is a complete treatise on the
car, explaining each detail of the mech
anism, giving explicit directions for its
