TO CLEAN TOPS.

Leather, either machine or hand buffed, and rubber tops should be sponged off with clean tepid water, and when somewhat coated with road dust, or mud, this water should con- tain enough castiIe soap to provide sufficient a1kaH to cleanse the sur face from such accumuIations. Fol low this cleaning by drying the Ieath- CT or rubber with a wash leather specially kept for this purpose.
 If the top is of Pantasote fabric it should receive practically the same washing methods as the leather or rubber. The ordinary cleaning for genuine mohair top consists of good brushing with a whtsk broom. In case the top is too dirty to respond to this treatment 1t may be washed with 8 moderate solution of castle soap, and water. Genuine mohair tops made with a rubber fnterNning should. under no circumstances, be cleaned with gaso1ene, kerosene. ben zine or any other by-products of pe- troleun1. In fact, no disso1ving me dium containing. properties destruo- tive to the rubber interlfning should be employed in thee leaning of mo- hair tops.

It does not take many gall Ions of kerosene to fill the cooling system Of a car, and once it is filled, the owner can absolutely banish from his mind the worry about the cooling system freezing up when the cold days come around.

PRESERVING THE FINISH

PRESERVING OI THE FINISH
 Preservation of body finish on an automobile. is always an item in which the car owner is interested. The Horseshoe Age in commenting on the subject says:
 faThie winter is very severe on au- tomobiIe varnish and paint and cars which have to be used through it's intense cold and sudden changes look unusually shabby. It is claimed by some painters that the finish of ma chimes which have been housed in warm garages suffers more than that of cars which had been stored where there is no artificial heat, because of to which they have. been exposed whenever they have been used.
 .1t is quite noticeable that the Hpaint upon the doors of an unusual proportion of cars has become badly cracked and has partly dropped off, while the paint upon the rest of the body is in a good state of preserva-s ton. This condition may be attribut- ed to sTamning of the doors while the paint is very cold and brittle. In an effort to make doors free from rattle and absolutely secure as to their 1atching, body builders have so adjusted matters that only by slam ming them rather violently can they be made to shut securely and the effect of this upon the paint espe- | rimental- It oughk to be possible se- curely toI atch automobile doors by gentle treatment.
 Cars that are laid up all winter can of course be touched up and var nished at any time during the. off sea son, but it should preferably be done early, so that the finish may have time to become thoroughly hard be- fore use, for the reason that cars which are put into service early in the spring are driven largely on mud dy roads and the mud is rather det- rinaental to varnish which is not thoroughly seasoned. | Cars that are used all the year around are advantageous1y varnished Eduring the season of spring rains and mud, so that when they are ready for service the roads will be dry and. the finish, while fresh, will be subject ed to favorable conditions"

KEROSENE IS GOOD REMEDY

KEROSENE IS GOOD REMEDY
 "There has been so much talk re- gently about burning carbon out or the cylinders that the good, old fash toned remedy-an application of kerosene-is about forgotten. says an authority on motor construction.
 'sIt is without doubt a. wonderful advance to be able to run your car into a. garage, have the cylinders opened up from the top and the car bon removed by means of an oxygen flame This, however, costs some money, although not much, ties the car up from one to three hours and causes a certain amount of wear and tear the threads of the various parts removed. to get into the cylind- CTS
 ssBut by squirting a quantity of ker- osene into each cylinder occasionally. much of the necessity of having car bon removed would be avoided and the cylinders and rings would be kept 1 in better condition s'To you who are reading this why don't you try kerosene in your motor, and set certain days when you will apply it?
 t'It is better to apply it two or three l nights in succession, than it is to ap- ply 1t four or five times at consfd- erab1e intervals, Start in tonight and :, when you put the ear away, put three or four tablespoonfuls of kerosene Einto the cylinders Tn the morning I it will smoke badly for 8, few minutes I but never mind. that. Do the same l thing tomorrow night, and again the following night. You will be surpris- l ed at the difference in the way youE l engine will operate.
 "Especially at the present time when you are running your motor sI with a, rich mixture during the cold weather, this use of Kerosene is espe- I cially good for the engine Just try i this for the next three days, and then next week try it again. Get the habit of doing this three continuous nights every week.
 .'It might be well to make a sched.
 ule and set certain nights of eack | week on which to dose the engine.
 "But no matter when you do it i do it often, because it is not very
 much trouble and you will be sur
 prised at the improvement you vii experience in the running of your en
 zine. In fact it would be a goot
 thing if you would dose your engine
 with a small amount of kerosen,
 every night Why not keep a car
 of kerosene in the garage. and an oi l acn pr squirt gun with which to ap ply t,and divide the oil can ful samong the cylin deFs every night?
 'sAs mentioned above, during tn, I cold weather you naturally run you
 mixture richer with the result tha j your cylinders carbonize much mor,
 readily than in the warmer months
 But regardless of whether it is sum
 mer or winter, this kerosene treat
 ment is one of the finest things, nex
 to fabrication, that you can do t
 your engine. It will repay you man
 times over for your trouble"

which are well enough in their way
and no doubt are valuable, but how
far they are from bringing happiness
only he knows who owns them all.
Possession of many and varied things
brings care and responsibility rather
than contentment. Things steal our
leisure and saddle us with duties. So
far is possession from happiness. But
the most torturing and singing pain
that advertising is responsible for is
this false hunger for things that our
pocketbooks will never let us buy.
Here comes crime, vice and the eng
matte discomfort of our social invest
tigators. Such, believe, will soon be
seen to be the fruits of advertising.

their aroused cravings that drive men

LETTER TO EDITOR
! THE HARM IN ADVERTISING
Friend Cochran:-I will not apollo
gize for the manner of address, for l
feel that way. 1t is the effect one
gets from reading your One Mans
Opinions column. That feature alone
is worth the price. 1t makes a per-
son want to number you among his
intimates. Personality is, after all,
the thing we are most interested in.
1t can make or break any enterprise.
And you little expedition into virgin
territory, enthusiastically speaking,
needs everything in its equipment.
It's rare adventure and you are to
be envied in the opportunity that has
discovered you.
There is a phase of the idea you
are pursuing, believe, that has never
been touched upon. 1t renders your
policy greater social value than even
the one adopted by Parsons Maya
zine in the monthly field. This period
ical has declared for editorial indie
pendence of advertising, but not
against advertising in itself. 1 believe
that social ethics will eventually de-
mand this.
This is my point. Advertising by
its own confession exists for no other
reason than to create a demand"
A demand for THINGS. People are
instilled with a feverish passion to
own things. They are brought to be-
ieve that their happiness depends on
