DEMONSTRATIONS ARE
BECOMING POPULAR
Prospective Buyers Of Automobiles
Now Insist Upon Thorough
Try-0uts of Cars.
ACTUAL PERFORMANCE WANTED

In the early days of the automobile in
dustry few sales approached the check
book stage until the prospective buyer
had been given a ride and had been
laboriously shown that the car in question
would really run. These demonstrations
were often long, systematic affairs, and
included comparative showings of several
different cars. Buying an automobile in
those days was an undertaking to which
purchaser and salesman devoted much
time and thought
OF more recent years the demonstration
has played a steadily less important part.
Men have learned that any standard car
will run: they know from neighbors the
characteristics Of the various makes.
More often than not. the buyer picks
car from his knowledge OF the perma-
nence of its manufacturer or the service
he knows he can expect from a we'll
established dealer. Usually he is so
familiar with the car itself that sales
room examination Is sufficient to satisfy
him.
That the demonstration Is coming back
into style is surprising declaration.
This prediction on the fact that in no
other way can prospective buyer be
brought to realize the paramount advan-
tage of a light, efficient six-cylinder
motorcar Of the type which is certain
TO play so important a part in the 1914
motoring plans of so many families
To attract e mans attention to car
by its actual performance is the only
way of bringing home to him the practi-
cal advantages of 'smoothness. freedom
from vibration, reserve power, fiexibility
without gear changes, and other charac-
teristics in which IT is SO noticeably su-
perior.

AUTO OWNERS SHOULD
WATCH TEMPERATURE
Adjustments Are Necessary to Keep
. Motors Running Smoothly
and Evenly.

Now is the time for the automobile
owner to look to his carbureter. The
changing temperatures make adjust
ments necessary in order to keep the
motor running smoothly and evenly,
A weIl-known local authority gives the
following cold weather hints which II
regarded will eliminate all winter
troubles:
when the carbureter gets out of ad-
justment, your motor knocks and misses,
often the spark plugs get the blame. If
the weather is colder than 1t was the
last time you ran the car, strengthen
the mixture slightly by increasing the
flow of gasoline and decreasing the in
fiux of air into the chamber.
'sBut first of all IL the engine VIII
run at all, let it run for a while until 1t
make the adjustments when the engine
is cold you will have the job to do over
again when 1t warns up. After the mo-
tor has warmed up and the throb is not
even, make the adjustments for the low
spark. Then raise the spark and adjust
for that position
''Of course when a warm spell follows
a cold snap the lessening of the amount
Of gasoline and increasing the flow of
air Is the necessary course to follow.
But whatever you do. do not. run your
car with the motor knocking and missing.
II you cannot remedy the trouble your
self, have the adjustments made. For, of
course, running your car when the sup
ply of gasoline vapor and air is not right
for the temperature results in unneces-
ssry wear on the parts"

CAUSE
OF INJURIES TO CASTINGS
Proper Pressure Must Be Secured to
Sustain Weight Of Car and
Good Service.
EXTRA CAPACITY is NEEDED

The importance Of keeping a pneumatic
automobile tire inflated to the proper
pressure, and avoiding the evil Of UNDER
imitation. is something that can never
be overemphasized. If less than the
proper pressure be carried the weight Of
the car will not be properly sustained
and as a consequence. there will be more
or less hattening out where the tire
touches the ground.
This not only subjects the casing to
a destructive bending action when In
motion. but renders II susceptible to In
jury from bruises and bumps, which .
fully inflated tire would safely resist.
The same condition occurs when a car
with its extras is not equipped with
tires large enough to properly support
the load. and although It be properly
inflated, the weight iattens 1t out where
1t rests on the ground just as in the
case OF a tire large enough but not in
fated to the proper pressure. The extra
strain thus imposed not only breaks
down the side walls. but increases sus-
ceptibility to all the various forms OF
trouble
Proper attention to imitation usually
will insure good service. For the man
who exercises care in this particular.
but who still is unrewarded with the
good servica usually returned by this
precaution. the solution lies in the use
of the oversize tire-the largest tire that
fits each rim.
Usually. 1t is by experience that the
motorist discovers he has equipped his
car with tires that are too small. He
then desires to change to the regular
oversize tire for his rims. For making
this change, the manufacturer has pro-
vided every convenience. Not only does
the oversize fit the rim as perfectly as
same tube. Tubes. like rims, are now
made interchangeable. Consequently.
the change over to the oversize will not
require any changes or additions as TO
tie tube equipment.
The oversize tire contains between 30
and 40 per cent more air capacity than
the regular size. This extra capacity
makes possible not only a more effective
air cushion to sustain the weight i'm
posed. but higher residence as well. And
SO its use decreases the cost per mile;
and cost per mile. rather than cost per
tire. is the ultimate test of economy.
But its most important advantage re-
mains to be stated Every motorist.
though he be pleased with good mileage
at moderate cost.s-is still better pleased
II he can obtain this mileage without tire
trouble. and what is perhaps still more
Important, with a feeling OF confidence
by actual experience, that
the possibility of trouble is so remote
Rs to cease to be a factor. This feeling
Of confidence, safety, and freedom from

The reason France failed to build the
Panama Canal was because they did not
understand the peculiar needs OF sani-
tary conditions TO ward on malaria and
black water fever. The mosquito was the
pest that caused all the trouble, and Il
was necessary to exterminate the mos
quito before any one could inhabit this
part of the globe with any degree OF
safety. '"The Anaconda Hospital in
Panama" said the speaker, lis one of
the finest equipped hospitals in the
world" DIR. Strobel quoted from statis-
tics showing that there were only 1000
cases of malaria and black water fever
in tie last year, and out Of this number
only three had died. and in order to keep
the country in q healthy condition 1t is
necessary for the health officers to disin-
feet all premises daily.

USED IN CURE OF CANCER
Berlin and Other CitIe1 Accommodating
Radium and Mesothorium
for Purpose.

Berlin.-The municipality OF Berlin
is following the example of three or
four other German cities and is MAX
ing arrangements for obtaining a sup
ply of radium and mesothorium, in
view of the increasing Importance
which they are obtaining in the fight
against cancer. Directors of hospitals
under the municipality have been ask
ed to make detailed reports on the
subject.
While ii is an undoubted fact that
German medical authorities are grow
ing more inclined TO favor radium in
their treatment Of cancer. it must be
pointed out that none Of them regards
radium as an absolute cure, and that
the greatest caution must still be used
before any definite judgment can be
passed on its efficiency.
Professor Czerny, whose name is
highest among cancer authorities,
maintains that surgical operation in
the early stages of the disease is SUI
perior TO any other method of treat
ment and certainly gives the best pros
pect of permanent relief The profess
sors is extremely cautious in his judg-
ment on radium, while admitting that
in certain stages Of cancer and where
the disease can be easily reached ra-
dunn unquestionably is powerful pal
liative.
