Fewer Cars Stored Away This
Winter Than Ever Before
in History of City.

There is and always has been a
great deal OF discussion on the sub
ject, both in favor and against, the
automobile for winter purposes,
Some car owners would never think
of putting their cars up for the win
ter-that is, for three or four out Of
twelve months-but there are, on the
other hand, a very great many who
look forward to the middle Of Novem-
Der or the first part Of December
as the time for lacking up their car,
as regularly as they plan to leave
home for the Office at $3.50 every
morning, or eat three good square
meals a day. There the car stays,
safe and sound in the garage until the
first signs OF spring creep around
once more, when 1t is taken down,
renovated, and allowed to continue the
mission for which it was created.
Fewer Cars Stored.
Every year there are fewer and,
fewer motorists who relegate their
cars to the garage as a winter prop
osition. The cold weather, the sleet
and now nowadays have but little
terror for the up to date driver.
IF, with the first appearance OF
snow, you are beginning to think
seriously of putting your car away for
the winter, think a little more seri-
ously and don't do 1t. Your car was
manufactured to be used three hun
dred and %sixty-4ive days a year, and
there is no reason, mechanical or 9TH
erwise, why you should not profit by
the superior labor and material put
into 1t during the process OF its manu-
facture. If you still agree with all
the old time arguments put up in favor
OF winter storage Of the car, let us
tell you why you are wrong. You
aren't going to save money by putting
1t 'away-at least not much-and what
little you might possibly saw will be
more than Offset by the pleasure and
conveniences lost during the months
you are forced to do without the car
and depend on other means Of trans
portation.
. Unnecessary Inconvenience.
Have you ever gotten up in the
morning about ten or fifteen minutes
later than usual, eaten a hasty break
fast, and walked two or three blocks,
or more, through the sleet and slush
Of a winter snow storm, only to find
that the much coveted street a was
Just disappearing down the line, and
then been forced to wait ten or TWEEN
" minutes before another refrigerator
car came along. Perhaps the re-
mtniscance of hopping first on one
foot and then the other, with the wind
cutting your face like a sharp knife,
and your hands gradually becoming

brushes used for this purpose have fine
wire bristles. With this brush the
workman frees the fur from particles
Of dirt. Anything which is not read,
lily removed by the combing and
brushing process is removed with the
aid of a very sharp knife. In some
cases the skins are brushed by ma,
chimes supplied with suction devices
Where the work is done by hand the
air. is full of fine dust and particles
Of fur. 1t is the usual practice tc
have a man employed all day in
sweeping up the accumulated dust and
dirt from the floor with results thai
can be imagined.
Skins Dampened.
After the skins r combed they are
dampened and the long hairs are clip
ped or plucked. In tn case Of hare
skins the plucking is done by machin-
cry; with coney skins it is done by
hand. The hand plucking creates an
immense amount Of dust, hair and
fluff in the air.
Frequently the workers stand in a
mass Of hair, which covers the floor
to a depth Of Several inches. The
skin is fastened over a leg stump by
means Of a loop of clothesline which
is held taut by another loop through
which the plucker places his foot, as
in a stirrup. This causes the work
er to assume what would seem to be
an almost impossible posture. The
toes Of the left foot, which is in the
stirrup, barely touch the floor, and
the worker is forced to lean forward
and press his abdomen against the
upper pole Of the stump that he may
retain his balance.
In the case Of plucking machines
much of the danger to health is elm
mated because the plucking machines
are supplied with suction devices
which carry off the loose particles of
fur and dust.
Dangerous Treatment.
The next treatment to which the
skins are subjected is the most dan
gerous one. 1t is known as %carrotlng.
The pelts, with what fur remains on
them after the long hair has been re-
moved, are placed on a table and
scrubbed with nitrate Of mercury So
luton. This gives a brilliant yellow
color to the light parts of the fur.
Hence the name. In some instances
this work is done by hand and In
others by machinery, When carrot
ing is done by hand the workman
holds the pelt on a table and scrubs
1t with a brush, which he dips in the
mercury solution. When 1t is done
by machinery he holds the pelt on a
revolving brush, which passes through
a bath Of mercury. In either case 1t
Is necessary for the workman to wear
strong gum gloves to protect his hands
from the mercury solution.
The carroted fur is now taken to
drying rooms, where 1t is placed on
racks and dried in ovens. When the
mercurial solution has been volatil-
lied the skins are put through the
shaving process. Machines cut the
hair from the skins and deposi. it on

USE OF AUTO
IS BECOMING POPULAR
AMONG LOCAL. OWNERS

numbed with cold is a pleasant one.
We should rather imagine that it was
not, and then, If for any special rea-
son you were positively obliged to get
to your business on time, and the car
simply refused to come along, you
were finally forced to either call a taxi
as a last resort, Or use the means
Of transportation provided by an all
wise Creator, and hike it."
Circumstances OF this sort are the
most provoking imaginable. Be hon
est, now aren't they? You've gotten
cold and wet, missed your car, and
arrived late at the Office, certainly in
no fit condition to take up the arduous
duties Of the day-and all this time
your $500 to $4,000 investment in the
form Of a s%erviceable and comfortable
means Of conveyance-your motor car
rests peacefully in your garage, de-
irving more harm than would come
to 1t from ordinary usage.
Excuses 0yerruled.
Now for the old time excuses and
arguments: First, your garage isn't
heated. This is indeed a very trivial
matter to overcome. Just add the
proper amount Of alcohol and glycer-
Inc to the water in your radiator.
Second, your car starts hard on cold
mornings. This difficulty, too, can be
readily overcome by pulling the shoke
wire out before using your starter,
making SURF that your starting bat
terry has a full charge to prevent
freezing. II you have no starter and
have been accustomed to start your
car on magnetic, a dollar and eighty
cents worth of dry cells will make
cranking very easy. Third, the streets
are slippery and you are afraid Of
sikdding. There is no denying that
skid chains are q positively essential
feature OF winter equipment. Many
motorists hardly realize the import
ance, not only to themselves, but to
others, OF tire chains. 1t is not a ques-
ton Of personal safety, but Of public
safety, to have your a equipped with
this non-skid device. And, with the
skid chains on your car you are pos
dtiyely insured against skidding.
Fourth, 1t is cold riding and you are
afraid OF your health. We call your
attention once more to the question
ably pleasant remembrance of a long
wait in the snow and wind, a long
walk, perhaps wet feet, and all the
rest of the unpleasant results, and
then ask you to compare the two sit
uations. Which is more likely to give
lasting bad effects?
There are some adjustments neces-
sary to be made on every car which
is to be used continuously throughout
the winter and 1t is a wise plan TO
have your car overhauled thoroughly
before the real dead in earnest cold
weather sets in. Then your car will
be sure to give you the right kind Of

of putting the car away at this time
of the year. This is the time you
need 1t most-it is Indispensable II
you are looking for comfort, conven-
fence and speed.
Cold Weather Necessities.
Some car owners are inclined to
think that if a little anti-freezing fluid
Of some sort is injected into the ra-
diator they are prepared to meet al
most any emergency. 1t is a very wise
driver who secures radiator hoods,
magnetic covers, knuckle boots. etc.
Other devices to secure easy starting
in cold weather are many and all pop
ular with the driver who knows.
Among other winter comforts we
might mention the warm hand steer
ing wheel and foot warmer. These
devices have successfully accomplished
their purpose in the past-that Of
winning the public over to the side Of
motoring despite Of any weather con-
ditions.

GASOLINE
May Go to Forty Cents a Gallon in
Near Future.

Gasoline may go to forty cents, ac-
cording to reports from Chicago, where
it has been known that the Oklahoma
and Texas oil fields are in a state
Of famine, with a bad slump in the
oil production which amounts to from
t~hirty-fve to fifty per cent. Oil prod
ucts will be from t~hirty-fve to forty
per cent higher as a consequence than
they have ever been in the United
States. There has been a substantial
advance in the price Of gasoline in
New York, where it has reached twen-
ty-two cents and sometimes higher.

presumption Is that the hearings will

after that time. That date will be an
important one to the Manufacturers

day that the new governor will be in
augurated into office az Charleston. to
take the place OF Governor Hatfield.
who Will have completed his term OF

the part OF the gas company that il
is the governor that is the stumbling
