Cleaning the Car.

Get accustomed to having the car
cleaned at frequent intervals. It
would be best, of course, to have this
done each time the car comes from
the road and really requires wash
ing, but often owners allow the mud
to accumulate. Small PARTICLES of
sand make their way to the moving
parts, especially those of the run
ming gear. The steering knuckles,
the drag link and steering cross rod
the universals and brakes, etc, are
parts which never should be allow
ed to remain covered with mud. A
good washing costing 81 may save
twice as much in repairs. Have a

Drauoino Brakes Reduce Power.

Dragging Brakes Reduce Power.
Do not expect a brand new car to
show the speed, power and flexibility
of a car a few months old. In the
new machine the parts are tightly
fitted and it may require from 800 to
500 miles of operation before the mov-
ing parts are properly worked in. A
frequent offender is the braking sys-
TEN. Jack up the rear wheels and
turn them. If little effort is required
and no scraping sound is heard the
brakes are not dragging. If the brakes
drag, it rot only will reduce the
speed of the car, but reduce the
mileage per gallon. Dragging brakes
also generate much heat and one
can tell by feeling the outside of the
bands whether or not they are ex-
cessively hot after a run.
A new car may show only seven
or eight miles per gallon because Of
the tightness of its parts, yet after

THE MAXWELL
NOT EXPENSIVE
AUTOMOBILE is FIRST TO REACH
LAKE TAHOE IN COAST DRIVE
UP SIERRAS - NEW ECONOMY
MARK.

Recent motor car performances in
the west have focused the attention
of the automobile public on Maxwell
cars, says L. c. Slaughter, who han
dies Maxwell cars locally. During the
month of May, stock Maxwell cars
have been put through various PAGES
along the Pacific coast and in every
instance have established records
that proclaim dependability, strength
and the all-important item of econ
omy.
Ray Mcnamara, who has piloted
several Maxwell economy runs, and
who established record in Detroit
early in April, when he drove stock
touring car Al miles on a gallon OF
gasoline, broke his own record in Cali
fornia, when he drove a car from
Oakland to San Jose, the speedometer
showing 1876 miles when the engine
stopped after consuming its supply
of one gallon of gasoline.
In connection with McNamara's
performance, report comes from
Seattle that a Maxwell touring car
made the run from Seattle to Ia
coma on a gallon of gasoline. A
distance of 43 miles was registered
and the car carried five adult pas
sengers and two children.
The Lake Tahoe Run.
The Maxwell gained added glory
by breaking the trail to Lake Tahoe,
making the run three full weeks be-
fore the earliest arrival OF any pre-.
vious season.
This performance is all the more
remarkable in that the snowfall in
the Sierra Nevada mountains during
the past winter was the heaviest
, since 1889. The Maxwell made the
trip to California's most famous
mountain lake without any aid save
that furnished by its own engine and
its hardy crew Of four men.
In many places the snow was piled
fifteen feet deep, but the car came
through without being buried once
The success of the venture was due
in large part to the ability of the
car to ride the heavy drifts Instead
of breaking through them, as was
the case with heavier cars in past
seasons.
More Economy Tests.
Mr.. McNamara's latest economy
test was observed by representatives,
of the Lincoln Highway association
and the San Diego fair. while inc
automobile editor of the Oakland
(Cal) Tribune inspected the speed
ometer gears, the carburetor, etc.
Speaking of the economy test at
Seattle, one of the newspapers there
said:
Seattle has been the scene OF
numerous economy trials. which have
aroused much interest among motor
enthusiasts but new chapter was
recorded when a 1916 model Maxwell
touring car, carrying five adults and
two children, travelled from Seattle
TO Tacoma on gallon of gasoline.
That the performance was not an ac-
cident was demonstrated when the
feat was repeated on the return trip.
The distance from the Seattle Auto
mobile company's building in Seattle
to the Logan garage in Tacoma is
forty-three miles, which gives the
Maxwell record for phenomenal
gasoline economy"

Getting Out of Sand.

When a car is driven into a sandy
spot in the road and the rear wheels
spin, there is no need of attempting
to extract the car without assistance.
The more the wheels spin in sand,
the deeper the car will sink and the
more difficult it will be to pull it out.
If no rope or burlap is in the car, de-
fate the rear tires and with the
gears in first speed position engage
the clutch slowly. If this does not
help get two wooden planks and
place them behind the rear wheels.
Then attempt TO reverse out so the
wheels mount the planks. II rope or

to remove all mud. If the owner will
use some sort of polish after the
car has been washed, it will be found
the finish will retain its luster for
a greater length of time. An outfit
for spraying polish costs about $50,
and there are any number of paste
polishes which may be purchased in
cans at very reasonable rate.
Care of the Top.
Never fold a top while it is damp
or wet, but allow the top to remain
open until thoroughly dry. In re-
moving spots do not use gasoline, as
in many tops this will have a ten
dency to dissolve the rubber in the
fabric. Most makers recommend
good CASTLE soap and water for re-
moving stains. Rub the lather In

A Lamp Repair.
John j. Cluse. Parkersburg, w.
Va, has suggested a novel method
of repairing bent headlight rims. II
the rim is of nickel and has become
bent, the following is suggested as
a method of Strengthening it with
out difficulty. Remove the rim from
the other headlight and pour molten
babbitt into the hollow portion of it..
This will not injure the nickel nm
ish, it is stated. The hardened bab-
bitt when removed is placed in the
damaged rim and a small hammer
used for forcing the rim to assume
the shape of the babbitt.

fine CROPS OF BEANS
MAKE COLORADO DRY LAND
FARMERS RICH.
Despite Drought, Ranchmen in East
ern Part of State Are Prospering,
Aided by Advice of Experts.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Arriba, Colo.-In spite of sixty-day
drought during the growing season,
the farmers on the non-irrigated lands
of this section are as prosperous this
fall as il. the rainfall had been above
normal. Every stop made by the
cash crop special, carrying experts
from Colorado and Kansas Agricul-
tural Colleges, found the farmers at
the stations in great numbers, many
of them driving new automobiles,
bought with bean money. Bean
cleaners are now a regular part of the
equipment of grain elevators. Car
load shipments are being made most
iy to southeast Atlantic coast cities,
thousands of sacks of Colorado pinto
beans being destined for shipment
abroad.
Fifty cars are booked for shipment
out OF the station of Simla in south
east Ebert county, for which the
farmers will get about $1,000 a car.
Prices to the grower are above 6 cents
pound, and there would be good
profit in the crop even at cents.
Lectures on beans delivered by the
Colorado experts created much inter
est and brought many questions from
the growers. The subject was
handled by Prof Alvin Kezer, agron-
omist of Colorado Agricultural College,
and w. H. Lauck, dry land specialist.
Charles R. Weeks, superintendent of
the Hays, Kan, experiment station,
and G. q. Thompson, crop specialist
of the Kansas Agricultural College,
gave the farmers in the section east of
Limon advice on the growing of kafir,
milo and feterita, the drought resist

There was lively interest in the sub
ject Of the federal farm loan law,
which was explained by John Lennox

AFRO-AMER|CAN CUL[|NCS

The following figures showing the
number of Negroes leaving the vari-
GUS southern states, indicate the eX-
tent of the transfer of labor from the
South to other sections of the coun-
try: From Alabama, 10000; from
Tennessee, $4,000; from Florida, 12,-
600; from Georgia, 10000; from Vlr-
ginla, 5000; from North Carolina,
1000; from Kentucky, 5000; from
South Carolina, 1000; from Arkansas,
1000; from Mississippi, 1000.
1t is estimated that 95 per cent of
the Negroes who have left the South
in this movement are men. The de-
mand is for laborers for freight and
section-hand work on railroads, miners
for coal and iron states, and unskilled
workmen for general outside work at
industrial plants.
Last spring, when the business of
the railroads and mines began to
prosper as it had not done in years,
the demand for unSkilled labor in
creased rapidly. The freight conges-
ton in and about New York and other
large cities caused a pressing demand
lor lruCh nanuS. In former years tne
railroads had called on Europe and
Asia for extra supplies, but this year,
when they could not get men from the
war zone, they turned to the South.
Many of the first Negroes to mi
CRATE have written back and told of
the glorious land into which they have
come. The higher wages of the North,
East and West are being advertised
in almost every Negro home in the
South. Negro preachers and Negro
women have been paid to urge the
men to go North and get better pay
and treatment.
Yet many of the black men, carried
out of the South, have found that the
glowing promises did not materialize,
and have returned to their old homes.
They declare they have had enough
of the country above the Potomac
river and are glad to get back. They
say the pay is all right, but the tenn
perature is severe, and working among
white laborers and living among
white people is not all it was cracked
up to be.

Much excellent work among its own
race has been done by the Colored So

One of the principal objects of the
bureau is to take up and carry on
relief work among Negroes that was
formerly held in charge by the Negro
branch of the foundation.
Aside from the relief work, the
bureau has undertaken to inaugurate
constructive measures that would tend
toward the betterment of the living
and moral conditions of the colored

The necessity of Negroes at all
friendship with the southern white
man, the Negroes neighbor and friend,
was stressed by n. S. Adkins in an
address at Shiloh Baptist church,
Houston, Texas, reports the Post of
that city. Adkins compared the Negro
who seeks betterment in foreign fields
to the crew of the vessel that was dy-
ing of thirst when their ship had drift
ed from the ocean into river of fresh
water. Whatever sins the South may
I've called upon to bear, when it comes
TO business, pure and simple, it is in
the South that the Negro is given a
mans chance in the commercial
world" he said. "Our greatest danger
is that in the great leap from slavery.
to freedom we may overlook the fact
that the masses of us are to live by
the production of our hands, and that
we fail to keep in mind that we shall
prosper in proportion as we learn to
dignity and glorify common labor and
put brains and skill into the common
occupations. No race can prosper un-
til it learns that there is as much dig
nifty in tilling a field as in writing u
poem. 1t is at the bottom of life that
we must begin and not at the top, nor
should we permit our grievances to
overshadow our opportunities" The
white people of the South who look
to foreign immigrants to help develop
the South, he said, should also cast
down their buckets and take advan-
tage of the opportunities afforded in
assisting the 100000 Negroes of the
South to make the country bloom. "As
we have proved our loyalty to you in
the past in nursing your children,
watching by the sickbed of your moth
ers and often following them with
tear-dimmed eyes to the grave, so shall
we stand by you in the future with a
devotion that no foreigner can ap-
proach," he said, addressing himself
to the white men of the South.
