of the international Motor Car com

TO the automobile manufactures Of De-
troit and Flint, Michigan
The 1914 majority of the purchasers
in the market for automobiles will de
mand skies, said Mr. StOckard- This
year there are twice as many skies
being put out as last year. The six is
the car for city driving because it can
be thrOttled down to such low rate
of speed, and then II can be Jumped
Off. The six has smoother power and

Flint is where the Buick car is put

tured have the left hand drive and

change in the new Buick makeup. The
Buick is being put out in y different
models
The Hudson is another car that has
adopted the left hand drive and center
control. Also this company, Mr. Stock
ard said, is only putting out skies,
the trade is demanding the six cylinder
car.
The new Chalmers cars have the gas
Oline tank in the rear, and also carry
the spare tires in the rear, behind the
gasoline tank, where they are out OF
the way and also afford protection 70

present day manufacturer 10 strip the
running boards of as much weight as
possible, hence the tire-carriers on the
rear. The Chalmers company is de-
voting itself exclusively to thirty-sixes

er bodies.

A practice that Is said BY some re-
pair men TO be beneficial is that of
putting a sort Of final polish on valves,
after grinding, with graphite. After
the grinding has been completed and
all the oil and grinding compound
thoroughly washed off. the valve seat
is spTinkled well with dry graphite
and the valve is worked on its seat
just as in grinding. The result is said
to be that the surfaces resist wear
longer and retain their tightness bet
ter than without the graphite finish.

lamp reflectors from furnishing when
not In use It is a good scheme to give

There is nothing much more mys-
FERROUS or battling than a tire which
gradually loses its air, though it IS
positively known that the tube does
not leak and that the valve is in good
shape. But there always is a reason
for such things, and one reason for loss
of air may be that the pin in the tire
valve is a trifle too long, so that when
the cap is screwed on it makes con-
tact with the pin and pushes the valve
off its seat Filing a little off the end
of the pin is all that is necessary to
end the loss of air.
The ball check valves which con-
troll the movement of oil through the
pump where pressure feed fabrication
is adhered to, should be cleaned oc-
casionally to insure proper working.
