Welsh Leonard Go.


 Fred Welsh Was outpointed by Benny Leonard at Brooklyn the other night in 1O-romd bout, but as no decisions are given i'm New York state. the little Welshman still holds his title Of lightweight champion Of the world. According to Che report sent out Leonard had the edge in eight oi the ten rounds. though no damage was done.
 Welsh cut loose in the sixth and seventh and showed a flash of his old time form. but before and after that it was safety first with him. tie would not take 90 chance and try to hurt Leonard and ho is 80 clever that Leonard had no chance to damage him.
 From this distance it is impossi- 1le 10 tell how a good fighter Leonard is. lie ia New York boy and of course tho New York sports ballyho him like a circus. Some or that same breed printed reams Of stun hailing Frank Moran as real HShter a second John l.. Sullivan, and all that sort of rot SO it is well to sprink salt literally on the tales about these New York city champions.
 Meanwhile Freddies Welsh goes merrily on his way collecting Che coin without putting his tiuc in jeopardy, for none of the light weights now working have much of a chance to knock him out in ten rounds and that is practically what they would have to do to get that title.

What makes my car smoke when
| start away after having my engine
running idle for a little while?
You probably have leaking piston
rings. New rings will probably
remedy your trouble.
What makes my brakes squeak
when | apply them, and how can |
stop this?
The brake lining is probably dry.
Put a drop of oil on the lining and
on the brake drum.
Would water in the gasolene make
my engine miss and jerk? How can
| get rid Of the water once il is in
the gasolene?
Yes, water would do this, because
it will stop the flow of gasolene
through the spray nozzle. for water
is a heavier liquid than gasolene.
The only thing to do to remedy it is
to take off the carburetor, take IL
apart and clean il. Always strain
the gasolene before you put it in The
tank, and if your tank is not empty
now, drain il, then strain the gaso..
lene and put it back in. This will
probably stop your trouble.-C. A.

The reason is because you are con-

BeautySpots ofNew Jersey
discovered in Day S Jaunt
This Tour Is Another Proof of the Many One-Day
and Weekend Pleasure Jaunts that the New
York Motorist Can Enjoy.

This is Just going to be the story
of the good time that three people
and Velie car had one day last week
Tuesday. to he eXact-roaming IN
an easy, purposeless sort of a way
through some of the beauty spots of
New Jersey. They started out with
no particular point in view. 1hey
had no road maps. nor any instruc-
tons about where to 60, or where not
10 go. AS one of them expressed 1t,
they wanted to feel like explorers.
So for convenience sake, we Will
dub them 1.-THE Explorers.
They took the l3Oth Street ferry
at Fort Lee, at 1880 in the morning.
The whole world looked bright and
fresh from the recent rains, and the
brilliant sunshine, with just few
fleecy clouds in the sky, seemed to
promise a perfect day for the motor
lists. ,
They were glad when they reached
Fort Lee, and felt the good road be
meath them, and heard the smooth
whir of the contented motor. They
followed the River Road as far as
Central Avenue, then they started up
the bluffs Of this quaint old town,
striking across town for the road to
Leonia. Just as they were leaving
the outskirts of Fort Lee, a short,
rapid descent gave them an expan-
sive view Of the flower dotted plains,
with the road running through IT
toward the green, wooded hills in the
distance. This road they determined
TO follow.
1t proved TO be as good as it was
pretty. II was no time, 1t seemed,
till the signboard at the side of the
road welcomed them into Leonia.
And il seemed no time, again, al
though some time must have elapsed,
for they were not arrested for speed
ing. until another signboard, at the
opposite end Of the town, thanked
them out Of that pleasant little vii
lage. q,
Another nice stretch Of road led
TO Hackensack, a shady, restful little
town. From there the Explorers fol-
lowed q road that led to Paterson.
On either side of the way stretched
field after field of daisies. In the
wet, marshy places purple irlsess
grew wild, and crimson, orange and
mink flowers added their mite to the
color scheme of the landscape.
They had passed Paterson, and
were entering a busy looking little
place called Singac, when the
beauty of one particular spot at,
tracted their eye, and they slowed
down the car to more fully enjoy it.
Here was an old stone bridge, over
grown with ivy. A clear, hurrying
Stream ran quietly on its way, and
the contented chirp Of the birds in
the overhanging trees completed the
peace and repose of the place. They

would have paused longer. but they
were in a rowing mood.
Butler was the next place they
paused. There were two very good
reasons why they all agreed they
would remember Butler. One was
that they had lunch at this town.
And that lunch tasted like food for
the gods. The morning outdoors,
and the fresh air, had whetted their
appetites TO a keen edge. But Butler
is'a really attractive little place, out
side of the fact that it held the much
coveted luncheon for the motorists.
It is live and wideawake, and a pleas
ant resting place, situated, as 1t is,
among the hills.
The second reason why the party
said Butler would be memorable
was because just as the town had
been left behind it began to RAIN.
The soft. feecy clouds noticed in the
early part of the day had evidently
been becoming less and less fleecy-
like. and had instead been taking on
a decidedly black and threatening
look. But our friends of the road
were so engrossed in seeing all there
was to see, and in abandoning them
selves in this delightful country, that
they had failed to notice these signs.
So the storm came upon them un-
awares.
Hastily scrambling out Of the car.
they put up the top, and, instead OF
turning around and starting home, as
perhaps more practical people would
have done, they continued right on,
determined that not even rain should
spoil their day.
Through the fragrant, dripping
woods. they splashed along, at peace
with the world. The roads, despite
the rain. continued to be good, till
Newfoundland, a scattered little
town which positively asserted that
"This is Newfoundland" lest you
might not be aware that you are
passing through town, was lett be-
hind.
Here our explorers took a road to
the right. a road that followed the
most beautiful body of water, clear
as crystal, and with absolutely un,,
rufied surface. 1t was Greenwood
Lake. they found out afterward.
Fortunately, there was lull IN the
rain for a few moments. A more
restful. more tranquil spot than this
is unimaginable. Tricky wooded
hills rose abruptly at one side of the
lake. At the waters edge, wild
lilies were poisoning. Occasionally
a fish would leap from the surface
of the water, and that was the only
ripple that disturbed the water as
far as the eye could see. Every
leaf. every branch from the over
hanging trees. was mirrored with alb:
solute perfection. Even the hurried
flight of the gorgeous red bird was
pictured on the surface of the lake.
Here everything was still.
They followed this road, till the
trail became more and more indls-
tinct. Not knowing where it was

VII IF CAR TAKES PARTY FOR 140-M1LE TOOK
FREE USE OF ROADS
HOPE OF AUT0ISTS
Fight on for Abandonment OF
Interstate Taxation; Com
mittee Reports.

The automobile taxation sltua-
ton, which limits the crossing and
recrossing of state lines by the
owners of motor cars, is one that
is demanding the keen attention OF
car owners all over the country.
Recently Representative William {.
Adamson, chairman of the Commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Of the House Of Representa-
tives, received a report from ms
committee on the measure which
bears his name. This measure
would make home state license
good in all other states for indefin-
tie periods. It is hoped that this
will be passed before the present
Congress adjourns.
At the annual banquet OF the
American Automobile Association,
held in Washington, d. C., Repre-
sentative Adamson expressed De
lief that the measure could be
passed, if the motor car owners
could make their Congressman
agree "on the good old American
interstate ideas of communication
contained in the bill.
"If q state can collect taxes out
of its autoists," continued Mr..
Adamson, "and out of all the neigh
boring autoists from other states,
that state. of course, will have more
revenue. And every other state
that does likewise will similarly have
more revenue. But If the people do
not pay out that money into all the
other states, it seems to me that
money Is still in the states and may
be used for other purposes"
Charles T. Terry, former chair
man of the American Automobile
Association Legislative Board and
now its general counsel, who had in
hand the original Federal registra-
ton bill, utters this concise summa-
ton of the situation:
Good roads amount to nothing
unless the laws are such that they
may be used freely. If we are
really a nation, then the so-called
boundaries between the states are
nothing but imaginary lines. They
have no existence when a Federal
question is raised as to the duty Of
citizens to this country. If war
were to be declared it would be as
serted without contradiction in any
quarter that every citizen owed mis-
particular duty to the protection Of

Difference Between Auto Service Yesterday and To-day

man, who finds his pleasure in his
car. He, of course, has his own
business worries, and consequently
does not want to be troubled a great
deal with the maintenance Of MS
car. 1t is just such things as these
which are gradually being brought
to light, and which mean new sys-
TENS to be put in practice to re-
lieve the owner of any unnecessary
inconvenience, and to expedite all
matters pertaining to service.
But this brings to light another
thing that is a real problem for the
manufacturer. There is perhaps
less care taken of the automobile
to-day than ever before. This is
because there are many car own
ers to-day who are people who do
not have time to care for their ma
chimes or who are Of the opinion
that their cars are so well con-
structed that they need less atten-
ton than cars did formerly. This,
OF course, is a delicate matter for
the manufacturer to deal with, and
the greatest discretion must be
used to ascertain the direct cause
for some particular car failing to
perform its duty. Lack of judg-
ment or inexperience on the part
of some employe may in reality be
the cause. But this unproven fact
may prove the prime factor in the
less of a customer, who firmly be-
lieves his version of the matter TO
be correct.
This may all be summed up in
the definition of the word ser
vice" which was outlined as fol-
lows at recent meeting of the
Automobile Dealers Association.
Service is not the giving of
something for nothing.
Service gives square deals and sells
satisfaction.
Service is the providing by the
vender of such facilities in equip
ment, stock and personnel, as will
enable the owner TO obtain the max
imum of use at the minimum Of
cost. And remember that it takes
two-the server, and the served-yo
make good service.

BY w. F. RUSSELL,
Manager Buick Service DEPARTMENT.

The service department is begin
ming to come into its own. Until
recently, little has been said about
it, although it has ever been a big
problem in the automobile indus
try-problem for both the manu-
facturer and for the motor car
owner or buyer. The immense
progress that the service depart
ment of to-day has made over that
of yesterday is worthy of note.
The manufacturers are as anx-
ious for better service as the car
owners are. For some time past
there has been a determined move
ment on foot TO bring about a be-
ter condition in this end of the in
dustry.
AS rapidly as possible, the old
fashioned methods are being dis
cGrded for newer and more up to
date ones. The changed appear
ance of the stations themselves is
the first thing that attracts the eve
of the observer. Time was when
service station was a thing so dirty
and so untidy in appearance that
even the men, much less the women,
car owners disliked to 90 to it. To-
day many of the stations are as
neat and almost as attractive as
the salesrooms themselves. No one,
except one who has seen the work
ings of such a place, can imagine
the tremendous effort that must
constantly be put forth to maintain
this condition. For, from the very
nature of the work, the service sta
ton is naturally a, greasy, smelly
place.
Here in New York, the heads of
all the largest branches and dis
tributing agencies are holding
meetings TO discuss and plan new
theories which, when put into prac-
teal use, are beneficial to the car
owner. The service department
managers are as anxious as any TO
90 away with the conditions which
years ago made the owner of a car
regret that he had to depend on the
makers of his machine for the me-
chanical adjustments which were
needed from time to time. To-day

leading, they decided to retrace their
steps and start in another direction.
A fork in the road gave the IL
Eliminating information that War
wick was only twelve miles to the
west So they started for Warwick.
In some ways this was the very
worst, and in others. the very best,
part of the trip. The stretch of road
was certainly the worst they struck,
and let us hope that no motorist will
ever strike any worse. But the coun-
try was beautiful. Real woodsy
woods, unspoiled, untouched, covered
the hills that the road, or trail,
threaded its way through. Ferns
waist high, with flowers of every
color, formed the brilliant carpet.
Their sweet perfume and the heavy,
earthly smell filled the air, for it
had begun to rain again.
D. Z. Williams, who is the sales
manager of the Garland Automobile
Company, which handles the Velie
car, was driving. 1t was certainly
pardonable for him to feel a pride
in the way that car took this stretch
of road. Sometimes wading through
mud almost to the hub, again taking
steep, slippery hill, or going over
stretches filled with the most eXcit-
able little bumps and hollows, the car
didn't falter once, or apparently
make any effort to overcome the diff
ficulties of the road. The quiet purr
of that motor was like music in the
ears, for in places the road looked
wellnigh impossible.
1t was on this stretch of road that
the event of the day happened. One
Of the party had gone out we'll
equipped with headgear. He had
brought both straw sailor and a
cap. The straw hat had soon been
abandoned for the cap, and was
thrown on the floor in front of the
rear seat. The third member of the
party was sitting on this rear seat
alone.
Seeing what looked like a good bit
of road, the car had been speeded up
little. But, alas, as it passed
through some mud, a hidden hole was
hit, which caused the third member
of the party on the rear seat to
slightly lose her balance, and come
down ker-plunk with her right foot
through the crown of the nice new
sailor. Needless to say, he of the cap
appeared with another nice, new
sailor on Wednesday.
But while this bad stretch of road
did seem like a pretty long twelve
miles, it couldn't last forever, and
as they rounded the last curve in the
road the hills sloped away before
them, and the beautiful town of War
wick lay nestled in the hills before
them. There they found they were
sixty-five miles from New York, and

all want the owner to feel that the
cCmpany's interest does not end
with the sale of the car.
To be a true service department,
it is my opinion that this branch
must be built from the bottom, Just
the same as any other branch would
be. The men working here must
be trained to realize that they are
absolutely of as great Importance
to the company as those connected
with the sales department. 1t i
only natural that the man with a
smudge across his face, and a piece
OF dirty waste clutched in his hand
cannot appear 10 as good advan-
tage as the man with his immacu-
late collar and we'll pressed suit.
But courteous, prompt attention 10
the car owners needs, go a long
way toward overcoming this ad-
vantage.
II is essential that the car owner
comes in contact with men thor
oughly familiar with that com
panys product and with men of in
telligence TO cope with the many
problems to be solved. The intel
ligence of a company is reflected
in its equipment and general ap-
pearance as a whole. This applies
TO the service department as we'll as
to any other.
But ! wonder if it has occurred
to the present day car owner that
even with the greatly increased
number of cars now being oper-
ated in comparison with the num-
Ter of a few years back, to-day he
is able to have his wants attended
to with less inconvenience than ever

passed in turn, then Paterson was
left behind, and they were on their
last lap of the days run. When they
got to Fort Lee it was night, but the
big, clear moon made it as bright as
day, lighting the way to the both
Street ferry, and they were back in
New York. 1t had been all too
short, although the speedometer
showed they had made 140 miles.
The day had been perfect-no I'M
toward mishaps with the car, moth
ing except the episode of the hat-to
mar the complete enjoyment they all
had had, and all voted to do it again
some day in the near future.
