AUTOISTS' GRIEF
CAUSED BY DIRT

In matters not how well designed a
motor car may be, or how well it may
be built, it. is imperative that the
owner give it certain amount OF
care in order TO obtain maximum re-
suits in efficiency and economy.
Anything mechanical-be it sew
ing machine, typewriter. toy or
wheelbarrow-will get out of order
occasionally. If there is any one thing
the motorist can and should do to
keep his machine in order, 1t is to
keep it clean. Dirt causes more
trouble than anything else. The mo-
torist who takes pride in his car and
keeps the mechanism clean and wen
fabricated will have fewer repair bills
and less trouble in the long run.
A motor car mechanism encrGsted
with oily dirt cannot function prop
erly. It was never designed to do so.
Wash off the oil, dust and dirt col
lections on the mechanism under the
hood and floor boards at least once a
week. :.:.: L.. -.
