HOLIDAY HELPS OPEN
MOTOR TOUR SEASON
Owners of Cars Take 0pportun-
ity for Extending Week End
Trips Into Country.

These are coming-out days for auto
moI'iies, and today finds nearly every
owner Of a motor car either attending
the races at Benning or enjoying a trip
to some nearby point.
For several weeks motorists have
been taking runs out into the country.
they have been enjoying a picnic now
ard then, and In a few cases the
pioneer tourists have indulged in a
weekend trip. The opening of The tour
Ing season has been late, on account Of
the poor condition of the roads. Just
now, however, the roads are getting
good and today motoring will get Its
big impetus from the combined effects
of the holiday and the opportunity to
stretch it into two days. The dealers
who cater to the wants Of motorists
have been swamped with orders for
ties and other automobile necessaries,
and there has been a heavy demand
on the touring information bureaus for
mars and detailed information about
road conditions to points within a
radius of 200 miles OF Washington.
The indications are the season OF 1914
will see more Washington motorists on
tour than ever before.

one on the afternoon of the outing. and

Provision has been made to give each

The custom of giving the orphans an
automobile outing was established about
ten years ago. The idea was originated
by a New York newspaper man and
was instantly adopted by automobile
clubs and organizations throughout the
country. Each year the outing in

added Importance. This year the COM

Wear on Tappet Often
Causes Valve to Stick

The valve tappet gets a lot OF ham,
mering. and in some cases will wear
or. one side, thus becoming out of true.
At first thought 1t might seem that this
Is nothing serious, as long as the valve
is still lifted sufficiently. Such wearing
of the tappet out of true. however. is
apt to cause a sticking valve. The rea-
son is that the tappet, by touching the
valve step off center. forces 1t to one
side. This causes undue wear and fric-
ton at the point when the stem ruhs It's
guide. The wear will allow the stem
to become slightly out OF true, and dis
turb the seating OF the valve. 1t may
also cause sticking.

DON'T TINKER, HINT
TO NEW CAR OWNERS
0Id.Time Driver Points Out
Need to Treat Automobile
as One Would Watch.

Some timely advice to new owners OF
motor cars Is offered by one Of wash
ington's pioneer motorists. He has
driven a car since the days of the "one-
lunger." and what he has to say on
the subject is of interest just now when
SO many additions to the ranks of motor
lists are being made.
''Onc of the most important things
for the motorist to learn is not to
tinker" said the pioneer motorist.
There Is no mystery concealed under
the hood of car: there Is nothing that
should be kept secret from the car own
er, but the temptation to tinker usually
becomes too great A delicate adjust
ing screw is turned or q wire Is discon-
nected and then trouble begins.
Learn, But Don't Tinker.
Talk to the repaIrman, study the In
struetions, learn all you can, and then
when the emergency comes. you'll be
prepared. But wait for the emergency.
Do not tinker. Don't try to make ad-
justments when the car is already in
adjustment. Don't begin tearing down
until you have located the trouble. Don't
try to improve the timing of the valves
or the ignition; the manufacturer knows
best. Treat your car as you would an
expensive watch. A lot of trouble may
be avoided by having an expert examine
the car about once every two months.
There are many little wrongs that may
quickly develop into big wrongs IL not
discovered and checked.
Don't patronize the cheap mechanic
his work is usually in keeping with his
price. Keep your car out Of the hands
OF the schoolboy who offers to work
free OF charge. The manufacturer Is
always ready to advise and help you.
His reputation Is in your hands. and
don't be too much inclined to blame the
car when the first little trouble arises.
Each machine has peculiarities Of its
own, and no matter how experienced
you may be in the operation Of motor
cars. in general, 1t Is essential that the
manufacturer instructions be care
fully read and followed.
Care Will Save Car.
THE Idea that there is no particular
care necessary for the successful opera
ton of a car. aside from filing the
tanks and radiator. is erroneous. There

That sales conditions In the automo-

laration of a Washington automobile
dealer who has been identified with the
motor car business for years.
He claims that many recent buyers
are persons who have Heretofore re-
mained out of the market, dre to their
FORMER belief that maintenance expense
was greater than they could afford.
Il had this increased efficiency brought
home to me quite forcibly by a personal
friend" said the dealer In question
This man owned q heavy. costly car
last year. He decided that. the cost OF
maintenance was too high, and changed
recently to lighter car.

"of course. the change resulted In q
greatly increased mileage for each gall

all the more emphatic by the fact that
