c. 0. D. ON PARCEL
POST IN USE TODAY

Sentinel Special Service
Washington, July 1.-The collect
on-delivery feature was added to the
parcel post department of the postal
service today. Under the new regula-
tions a parcel bearing the required
amount of parcel post stamps may
be sent anywhere in the country, and
the amount due from the purchaser
collected and remitted by the postof-
flee department. The parcel must
bear the amount due from the ad-
dTessee, an the collection will be
made if the amount is not in excess of
500. The fee, ! 0 cents, is to be af-
fixed by the sender in parcel post
stamps, and will insure the parcel
for no more than $50.
The collection feature was not pro-
vided when the parcel post system
was put in operation. because it was
desired to simplify the work of post
masters as much as possible in the
first days OF the service.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
PROVE VALUABLE.
Greatest Factor in the Quick
Growth of Car May Be
Traced to Storage Battery.

With long. easy sweeps the electric
vehicle has come to the front Both
In the field of commercial activity and
in that of pleasure, the ear that but
u short while ago was looked upon as
a novelty, is proving its worth.
Probably the greatest factor in the
phenomenal growth of the electric has
been the storage battery. Design.
luxury of appointments, refinements in
control-all these have done much, but
had not the battery reached its present
high state of excellence, the electric
vehicle could not have been possible.
High speed with an electric Is, of
course, not ordinarily desirable. The
speed mania is fast dying out. and
in cities and suburbs the average owner
of a car is satisfied to get over the
ground at a rate of from twenty to
twenty-five miles an hour. For all nor
NAL purposes this is fast enough. That
speed can be easily obtained by any
electric pleasure car and kept up for
from sixty to 100 miles before the bat
teries require recharging.

Single magnetic ignition is made prac-

part of the White electric lighting and

functions of a motor and a generator
for charging the battery. General

Starting Troubles Due
To Oil in Cold Weather

Much of the difficulty Of starting in
cold weather is due TO the thickening
cylinders. The low temperature causes
the oil to become so gummy that 1t Is
extremely difficult to spin the motor
at a high enough rate to draw into the
cylinder charge of gas which will
ignite at the low temperature
Many have noticed that a motor cranks
slightly easier after pr,ming. This Is
due to part of the gasolene going to
thin out the glIlnrny oil. The same ef-
feet may be secured with kerosene. and
IT is good plan in cold weather to put
a little kerosene IN each cylinder when
putting the car away for the night.
This will keep the oil thin, and also
help TO remove any carbon deposit.

MOTORISTS IMAGINE
AUTOMOBILE WRONG
Often Ills Which Worry Owners
of Cars Prove to Be Neces-
sary Parts of Machines.

To the average motorist who drives
his car under a year guarantee from
the manufacturer, the service depart
ment of a motor car concern is looked
upon as an extensive clinic, where all
the ills, real or imaginary, to which
motor cars are heir, can be cured with
in twenty-four hours time.
While the service department is an
institution established primarily for the
benefit and convenience OF owners, it
often requires great tact and patience
on the part of the service manager in
dealing with owners who demand a
weeks work done in a day.
Among other types there is the
owner who has the worrying habit -
said the head Of one of the big service
departments in Washington He il
constantly hearing things that would
seem TO indicate something wrong in
the cars operation.
"A recent incident brought forcibly
TO my mind that a car can be too
noiseless' to render satisfaction in the
hands of a particular owner. This car
was brought IN with the complaint that
there was an annoying squeak To-
Gated somewhere in the region of the
lower chassis. Careful investigation on
the part of a tester brought out the in
peculiar noise made by a non-skid tire
on the pavement
.-. Door Squeaked.
This is but a single Illustration of
many similar cases that have to be
handled carefully In order to avoid
giving offense. We have also had cases
where the tonneau door squeaked when
improperly closed, but was perfectly
noisless when shut in the right manner
Although a case Of this kind would
be entirely up to the owner, Il was not
SO regarded, and was reported as fault
without delay. Where a few years back
the 'chug chug Of a motor seemed real
music to the pioneer motorist. the same
man today demands a car without a
trace of minute squeak or rattle.
High grade and high priced auto
mobiles. like high-grade pianos, are
naturally supposed to perform TO better
advantage than cheaper products. but

Monoblock castings and long strokes
are characteristic of White gasolene
productions, and constitute features OF
all three of the White models for 1918.
The White six. brought out early in the
1872 season, is continued for 1913 with
only slight notifications. Models 90 and

year on the series production plan.
Model 30 has been redesigned for left
