CLEAN GARAGE
Is IMPORTANT
Paige Service Man Says 1t
Means Longer Life For
Motorcar

mo prospective owner hesitates to
ask about the proper way to take
care of his car" says the superin-
tendent of Paige service. But he
frequently overlooks the matter of
providing himself with the facilities
to make such care easy. If a man
looks after his car himself, he should
see to 1t that his home garage is O
place of order and tidiness. A clean,
we'll ordered. we'll equipped garage
means longer life for the car.
owners frequently allow their
cars to get into bad condition be-
cause the garage has been. allowed
10 run down to such an extent that,
10 nnd any given article, a dozen and
one other things have to be turned
over or upside down, ending very
often in vain search and q ruffled
temper.
There should be a few shelves
around the garage on which to place
oil and grease tins, boxes for dus-
ters, cotton waste, and the many
other accessories which accumulate
so quickly. All boxes should have a
label outside giving details of their
contents.
Several pieces of wood across the
garage near the roof, or across one
corner, Will do to store away old
outer covers and tubes until there
are sufficient number to send
away.
"A work bench on which vice
can be fixed is invaluable if there is
room for 1t.
"One of the most usful things in a
garage is tool rack. This is easily
made and consists. Of a fairly thick
board large enough to hold all the
tools which are kept in the garage
for general repairs as apart from
those that are carried in the car.
First of all, however, place the
tools on a large piece of paper and
arrange them SO that they take up
as little room as possible, although
sufficient room should be left be-
tween each for you to be able to pick
up any one without disturbing the
one next TO it. Put them into
groups, keeping tools of the same
kind together, ranging from the
largest to the smallest.
The best positions having been
found, you will now know what size
your board will be, but it is ad-
visable to get one larger than you
Immediately require, so that new
tools may be added as they are
bought The board procured, pro-
ceed to drive in nails, screws, staples
or hooks on which to hang the tools.
Now, paint an outline of each
implement on the board so that
when a number of tools are removed
at the same time you will be able to
see at a glance exactly where they
go when you wish to replace them.
Another useful article is a chest
of drawers in which to keep such
things as washers, split-pins and
nuts. A convenient place for it is on
a shelf, not too high up. Any car
penter would make one for a small
sum, but during the long evenings
it is quite pleasant occupation to
make it yourself, particularly as 1t
does not require many tools or an
expert carpenter to carry out the
job in satisfactory manner.
"a handle placed on the top of the
chest will enable it to be carried TO
wherever you may be working, in
the same manner as the tool rack.
1t is very convenient to be able to do
thSs, as it saves much walking
about"

Hudson Super-Sixes Are
Favorites With Tourists

More people are touring America
this year than ever BEFORE" said L.
H. Hagerling. This is due, in q
measure TO a larger ownership of
automobiles, but l think even more
than that is the awakened interest
Americans have in their own coun-
try since the declaration of war.
This really surprising activity in
touring has had the effect of greatly
stimulating sales. The Hudson Mo-
tor Car Company within the past
production. And they are selling cars
as fast as they can be made.
Undoubtedly the Hudson Super
Six is favored by tourists above all
other cars, because of it's hill-climb-
ing abilities and endurance qualities.
People who are going on extended
tours want the security that they
will reach their destination; that
they will not be troubled by hill-fail-
ures and breakdowns. The Hudson
Super-Six has established it's suprem-
acy indisputably by such perform
ances as driving twice across Amer
lea in one continuous trip in 10 days
and 81 hours, breaking the transcon-
tinental record in both directions;
by driving 1919 miles in "a hours,
beating the next best performance
by 317 miles; by the nonstop rec
ord of 403 miles, made by Hudson
Super-SiX Special, beating the next
best performance by more than 100
miles. The endurance qualities Of
the Hudson were further proved by
Ralph Mulford's performance in
breaking the American Speedway
records for $50 and 200 miles in n
Super-Six Special at Chicago June
16, when he average 1O4 miles an
hour.
In the Pixies Peak hill-climb, the
greatest of all tests of this character,
the Hudson Super-SiX established its
supremacy, as well as in scores of
local contests held by dealers
throughout the country. And the
tourist wants a car that will not fail
on the hills.
"These Hudson qualities undoubt-
edly are responsible for the un-
usually large demand for Super
Skies at this time of the year. More
than 1000 Hudsons are now in the
hands of owners. And this number
is increasing each month by hun
dreds.
1T is indicative of the prosperity
of the country that many of these
cars are being bought for touring.
1t shows that wartime prosperity
has begun to percolate, and that the
hesitancy and doubt, which for
awhile made business nervous, has
been replaced by confidence"

The automobile is no longer n

almost unheard of prosperity, he
will speed up his work by the aid of
the motor car. He is fast becoming
the best customer of the autom obile
manufacturer. The motor car keeps
him in closer touch with his mar
kets and enables him to handle his
work on the farm much more effi-
ciently. For general utility pur-
poses the automobile will soon prove
to be one of the most important
necessities of modern farm equip
ment,

| hope, that the nation looks to him to
speed and perfect every process; and
| want only to remind his employees
that their service is absolutely indis-
pensable and is counted on by every
man who loves the country and its lib
tries.
Let me suggest, also, that every
one who creates or cultiVates a garden
helps, and helps greatly, to solve the
problem of the feeding Of the nations;
and that every housewife who prac-
tices strict economy puts herself in the
ranks Of those who serve the nation.
This is the time for America to correct
her objectionable fault of Wasteful-
ness and extravaganza. Let every man
and every woman assume the duty of
careful, provident use and expenditure
as a public duty, as dictate of patriot
ism which no one can now expect ever
to be excused or forgiven for ignoring.
In the hope that this statement of
the needs Of the nation and of the world
in this hour of supreme crisis may stim-
ulate those to whom it comes, and re-
mind all who need reminder of the
solemn duties of time such as the
world has never seen before, beg that
all editors and publishers everywhere
will give as prominent publication and
as wide circulation as possible to this
appeal. | venture to suggest, also, to
all advertising agencies that they
would perhaps render a very substan-
tal and timely service to the country
if they would give it widespread repe-
tition And hope that clergymen will
not think the theme of it an unworthy
or inappropriate subject of comment
and homily from their pulpits.

that our industries, on the farms, in the
shipyards, in the mines, in the factor
les, must be made more prolific and
more efficient than ever, and that they
must be more economically managed
and better adapted to the particular
requirements of our task than they
have been; and what | want to say is
that the men and the women who de-
vote their thought and their energy to
these things will be serving the cOun-
try and conducting the fight for peace
and freedom just as trul y and Just as
effectively as the men on the battle
field or in the trenches Theindustrial
forces Of the country, men and women
alike, will be a great national a great
International, service army-a notable
and honored host engaged in the serv-
ice Of the nation and the world, the eff
ficient friends and saviors of free men
everywhere Thousands nay, hun
dreds of thousands, of men otherwise
liable to military service will of right
and of necessity be excused from that
service and assigned to the fundamen-
tai, sustaining work Of the fields and
factories and mines, and they will be
as much part of the great patriotic
forces Of the nation as the men under
fire.
/ take the liberty, therefore, Of ad.
dressing this word to the farmers of the
country and to all who work on the
farms: The supreme need of our own
nation and of the nations with which
we are cooperating is an abundance OF
supplies, and especially of foodstuffs
The importance of an adequate fooC
supply, especially for the present year
is superlative Without abundant food
alike for the armies and the peoples
now at war, the whole great enterprise
upon which we have embarked vii
break down and fail. The worlds fooC
reserves are low. Not only during the
present emergency, but for some tim,
after peace shall have come, both oul
own people and a large proportion o.
the people of Europe must rely upor
the harvests in America.
Upon the farmers of this country
therefore, in large measure rests tn,
fate Of the war and the fate of tn,
nations. May the nation not count up
on them to omit no step that will in
crease the production of their land o.
that will bring about the most effectua
cooperation in the sale and distribu
ton of their products? The time i

loved country INTO tne grim
and terrible war for democ-
Il racy and human rights which
has shaken the world creates
so many problems Of national life and
action which call for immediate con-
sideration and settlement that | hope
you will permit me to address to you a
few words Of earnest counsel and ap-
peal with regard to them.
We are rapidly putting our navy
upon an effective war footing and are
about to create and equip great army,
but these are the simplest parts of the
great task to which we have addressed
ourselves There isnot a single selfish
element, 50 far as cansee, in the cause
we are fighting for We are fighting
for what we believe and wish to be the
rights of mankind and for the future
peace and security of the world. To do
this great thing worthily and success
fully we must devote ourselves to the
service without regard to profit or ma
terial advantage and with an energy
and intelligence that will rise to the
level of the enterprise itself. We must
realize to the full how great the task
is and how many things, how many
kinds and elements of capacity and
service and self-sacrifice it involves.
These, then, are the things we
must do, and do WELL besides fighting
the things without which mere fight
ing would be fruitless:
We must supply abundant food for
ourselves and for our armies and our
seamen not only, but also for large
part of the nations with whom we have
now made common cause, in whose
support and by whose sides we shall be
fighting.
We must supply ships by the hun
dreds out Of our shipyards to carry to
the other side of the sea- submarines or
no submarines, what will every day be
needed there, and abundant materials
out of our fields and our mines and our
factories with which not only to clothe
and equip our own forces on land and
sea, but to clothe and support our peo-
pie for whom the gallant fellows under
arms canno longer work; to help clothe
and equip the armies with which we
are cooperating in Europe, and to keep
the looms and manufactures there in
raw material; coal to keep the fires 60
ing in ships at sea and in the furnaces
of hundreds Of factories across the sea
steel out Of which to make arms and
ammunition both here and there; rails
for wornout railways back to the fight
ing fronts; locomotives and rolling
stock to take the place of those every
day going to pieces; mules, horses, cat
tie for labor and for military service;
everything with which the people of
England and France and Italy and
Russia have usually supplied them
selves, but cannot now afford the men,
the materials, or the machinery to
make.

shall be as unhampered as it is possible
to make it, and there shall be no un-
warranted manipulation Of the nations
food supply by those who handle it on
its way to the consumer. This is our
opportunity to demonstrate the eff
cheney of a great democracy, and we
shall not fall short of it
This let me say to the middlemen Of
every sort, whether they are handling
our foodstuffs or our raw materials Of
manufacture or the products Of our
mills and factories: The eyes Of the
country will be especially upon you.
This is your opportunity for signal
service, efficient and disinterested.
The country expects you, as it expects
all others, to forego unusual profits, to
organize and expedite shipments Of
supplies of every kind, but especially Of
food, with an eye to the service you are
rendering and in the spirit Of those who
enlist in the ranks, for their people, not
for themselves. | shall confidently
expect you to deserve and win the con
fidence of people of every sort and
station.
To the men who run the railways
of the country, whether they be man
ayers or operative employees, let me say
that the railways are the arteries of the
nations life and that upon them rests
the immense responsibility of seeing to
it that those arteries suffer no obstruc-
tion of any kind, no inefficiency or
slackened power To the merchant let
me suggest the motto, Small profits
and quick service and to the ship
builder the thought that the life of the
war depends upon him. The food and
the war supplies must be carried across
the seas, no matter how many ships are
sent to the bottom. The places of those
that 90 down must be supplied and
supplied at once. To the miner let me
say that he stands where the farmer
does: the work of the world waits on
him. If he slackens or fails, armies and
statesmen are helpless. He also is en-
