OPERATING COST
HIGHLY IMPORTANT
If Original investment Were
Only One, Thousands More
Would Own Cars.

''The cost Of operating an automobile
Is Of more importance to the owner
than the original Investment II the
original cost was the only investment
to be considered there IL hardly q per-
son who would not use and own a motor
car" says q well Informed automobile
dealer Of this city.
The motor car IL IN expense, and
Its use must bring in some return to
the average owner to warrant the ex-
penditure. Every automobile owner il
deeply interested in the economy of his
car. Very few there are who find any
great pleasure in paying for tires and
gasolene. and not to mention repair bills.
To at least IS per cent Of the owners
these bills are Of the deepest import
ance.
If the motor car is used for purely
business reasons alone, the owner must
consider the economy Of his car, or in
other words, watch closely its cost Of
other expenditures, under the title Of
overhead expense. And you will ind
him watching closely and trying his
best to keep down. the cost.
II the car Is used purely for pleasure.
1t Ii an out and out expense, the only
return being the pleasure It gives HIM
and his family to motor, and must be
charged up against expenditures Of the
pleasure nature. At the 5ame time, the
owner has to recognize the depreciation
OF the value Of a machine, together with
the incidentals. such as storage, wash
ing, and SO forth, Yet, practically, no
one wants to give up automobiling; as
matter Of fact the utility is too i'm
portant and the pleasure too great to
surrender.
Therefore. the question of economy
takes its place as the one big question
In which all motorists are vitality inter-
considered when purchasing

Will Not vaporize
Below Five Degrees

The lowest temperature at which gaso.
lene will evaporatc is about five degrees
above zero, with the present fuel. When
the temperature falls to this figure, as
it may in the northern parts of the
country during the winter, no amour,
of cranking, by hand or by electric
starters, will start the motor, for the
reason that no gas can be obtained from
the sasolene. In this case, the tempera.
ture of the fuel in thu carburetor mus,
be raised. and a good way to do it is
to soak a rag or towel in boiling water
and wrap it around the float chamber
II enough hot water Is available. IL will
also be a good plan to drain the water
from the cooling system, and replace 4,
with warm.

BIG OYSTERFEAST
FOR MOTOR CAR MEN
Dealers of Washington Are to
Gather At Hotel Sterling
Monday Night.
By HARRY WARD.

Members of the automobile trade will
be much in evidence Monday night at
the Hotel Sterling, when an informal
oyster feast will be given by the Wash
ington Automobile Dealers Association.
The abject of the gathering is TO bring
together all the varied interests In the
motor car business of this city, Invi-
tations to attend have been issued to
practically every man who Is In any
way identified with the sale of automo-
oiles and supplies. and judging by the
number Of acceptances that have been
received by Bruce Emerson. chairman
of the committee, the attendance will
be large.
mittee have been working hard to make
the affair a success. They have pro-
vided an abundance Of good things to
eat, and the occasion will afford an eX-
cellent opportunity for the automobile
fraternity to get together on a social
basis.
Emerson G. Orme report the sale of
Detroit electric clear vision, forward
drive brougham. The car is finished in
blue, and is upholstered in blue leather
1t is one of the finest of the 1914 models
turned out by the Detroit electric max
ers.
AT the present stage in the devel-
opment of the motor car more or less
attention is being paid to refinements
that make the driving of a car simpler
and safer" said Rudolph Jose, of the
Cook & Stoddard Company. The 1914
Cadillac has several improvements that
Illustrate this point. One is its auto
matte spark advance Without this de-
vice the driver must manipulate his
spark lever according to his own best
1udgmetn of the engines requirements
1t is not alone a question of speed.
Sometimes heavy going puts drag on
the engine that necesitates maniDula-
tion of the spark lever. With the now
ice this is frequently nothing more than
good guessing. The Cadillac's auto
matte spark advance takes this task Of
guessing from the driver and makes
the action positive, automatic, accord.
ing to the engines needs.
This Is accomplished by a ring gov
ernor, which automatically advances
and retards the spark, accvording to
the demands of various loads and vari-
oGs speeds. 1t thus automatically pre-
vents the injuries which are possible by
too much advance or too much retard."

TOUGH FIGHT FOR
MOTOR DELIVERIES
Prejudice, Stupidity, and Ignor-
ance Play Large Part in
Battle of Power.

Motor delivery. like all advanced busi-
ness ideas. has had to battle hard
against old-fashioned ideas, Just as
everv other thing devised for the bene-
fit OF humanity and the advancement of
the race has had to battle for recogni-
ton.
Stupidity, ignorance. and prejudice
have fought the introduction of motor
delivery TO the very last ditch. bringing
forth every possible argument to OBJ
struct the introduction of this up-to-
date method of merchandising.
1t has been long and hard struggle,
but motor delivery is surely winning

An Insulation Tip.

Ignition arrangements are often due
to the insulation OF the spark plugs
being cracked or oil soaked. Then,
again, there may be carbon or oil de-
postts or the points too close together,
or too far apart. The electrodes may
be broken through using too much
force and too heavy a wrench. Look
the plug over carefully and test for all
these things. Incidentally. don't for
ge. to take a peek at the timer. The
contacts may be worn or pitted. there
may be dirty oil or particles Of metallic
matter, shoulders on the segments. worn
bearings. loose or broken wires causing
a short circuit.

Stovall Says
He'll Not Be Last

WASHINGTON. June George
Stallings, optimist, team builder and
chief OF the Boston Braves. says: II
don't have the faintest idea where
am going to wind up with this ball
club, but I'll tell you one thing, / am
going to beat some one / don't even
know who 1t is, but it'll be some one.
l am not going to finish last in this
mans league"
The fact that Stallings is spending
as much money as any club In the
country in grabbing new players is
being generally overlooked. He has
a long list of players. and Is adding
more whenever the opportunity to do
so presents itself. 1t Is said that he
paid in the neighhorhood of $4,000
for Mann. an outfielder, fact which
not generally known, and which puts
Mann in a class by himself among the
outflelders of the league. SO far as
price is concerned. Jackson and
Buss, mall players easily worth $4,000
or $4,000 apiece. represented part OF
the deal with Buffalo which took
Mann to Boston. and the rest was
cash.
Dick Rudolph cost staliings a. bunch
of money. and he has financial lines
out for other players. who will set him
back considerably. George apparent.
ly had nothing to offer in trades when
he took hold Of Boston, so there was
only one course open to him. In.
cidentally. the Boston fans are grad
ually awakening to the presence OF
Georges team, and the money spent
for players is coming back at the
gate.

exciting and interesting. Ask any of
the five hundred Riddles who crowded
the stand They will tell you 1t was
all of that and them some. Ask them
why the game resulted as II did and Fl
the one asked put forth his efforts in
behalf of the Fox school he will be
sure to answer that it was because
Fox had the better team. But II he
is an eastender he will declare that 1t
was because the Fox boys were larger
and older than the Chimborazo
champions and because they blew up
in a couple of innings and did not
give ,Dabney or little Johnson the
support which their work warrented.
In either case the answer would be
correct and in both cases 1t Is so.
For two bad inngs caused the oe-
feat of the East End champions by
the older and larger West Enders. But
the Chimborazo boys fought hard ana
kept UP the hostilities until the last
man had been retired.
Sears who was holding down third
for the defeated team clouted one, an
awful swat and made the circuit of
the cushions with plenty to spare, but
a hard eye and stern umpire discov-
cred that he was skipping several OF
them and called the little clouter out
when the ball was returned to second.
But Sears was undaunted and when
he again faced the Fox hurler came
up with blood In his eye. He swung
viciously at a couple and then waited
while his opponent tempted him on
q couple Of wide ones. But the lads
ewes were clear and when Thompson
dared to cut corner he smote for
the third time. The ball was some
thing like that which the renowned
Casey hit. and IL took the West End
feeders some time to catch up with 1t
as II rolled over the swad in left
garden. 1t took them so long. in fact,
that little Sears beat 1t to the home
plate and this time he had touched
every bag.
Most OF the men hit the ball In

Little Shorty White Hope" with
his full dress suit and his high silk
hat on. proved a frolic for the crowd
and White Hope was the first person
to set up the small naples on 4 and
alleys. while "Parson Askew''
knocked down the new small naples.
White Hope was readily prepared for
the occasion last night and after per-
forming the pin-setters' act. he jump
ed out of his full dress and put on a
swallow-tai coat and one OF those
Jewish derbys, which was about Ia
inches from brm to top.
When White Hope walked out be-
fore the spectators they roared and
cheered the midget to perfection. Az
ter this welcoming White Hope acted
as pin Judge for the Palace and News
Leader teams.

lived. but while 1t lasted almost as
severe as the shock produced by the
disclosures Of public and private graft.
And between these evils and dangers
in college sports and the evils and
dangers in the American business
world there Is an unmistakable con-
nection; for the excess that manifests
itself in college sports Is but a re-
Fiction OF the same spirit that Ia
abroad In our country. The intensity
with which college sports are pur-
sued Is a manifestation OF the spirit
which the American people put into
everything: and the craze for win
ming games embodies the spirit and
methods Of trade. The impulses and
habits acquired at home are carried
into the schools and colleges.
Perhaps the most dangerous vices
Of our country are excess and the
spirit that would win by unfair means.
And these are precisely the charac-
teristic sins of intercollegiate athletics
as they are organized today. This
intimate relation in our time between
life in colleges and life outside may
serve to account for the evils in ath-
letics, but 1t will not justify them.
And especially in a period when the
conscience of America is focusing It.

grosser evils that have almost mad

ity for our college meantime to be fos-
tering two OF the worst evils in our
national life. These two evils are
more pronounced In the larger col
leges Of the North. They are evils
that have grown out of mere bigness.
They have come from rapid growth
and great prosperity, like many OF
the evils in the business and political
life of the country. Our evils have
not been evils Of prosperity, but evils
of adversely; and they come from lack
of organization. from the chaotic state
in which 80 much of our education
has found itself. The country has
been too poor. the colleges have been
too small, and the communities In
which the colleges have been located
intercollegiate games the vast crowds
and immense gate receipts that have
produced the fanaticism and wild en-
thusiasm In the North. And yet ath-
letic conditions are no better here ir
North Carolina than in the richer
States. But the unfortunate situation
here is attributable to the disorgan-
lied state Of education. and, as q
symptom OF this Reorganization. it Il
most discouraging. Southern colleges
are growing rapidly. and the entire
section IL becoming prosperous as new

to intercollegiate athletics; and, IL tc
