 "The life of the finish on any car does not depend on the polishing ac- tion that is given in washing, but on quite the opposite. The body should not be rubbed any more than is abso- lutely necessary. In case the car is muddy it is always well to remove the foreign substance as soon as possible to avoid spotting. This should be done with clear running water, first thor oughly soaking the mud, and then washing it off. On account of it's securing effect, water under pressure should never be used for this purpose. Perhaps the greatest enemy high body finish has is a sponge in which sand or grit has collected.
 Even in the case of dust it is bet ter to remove this with slow running water Busters, which are employed by many owners. seriously affect the paint by turning the dust into an abrasive.
 When the body surfaces have been well cleaned off by running water, they should be gone over with a new sponge, care being taken that the sponge is all ways moved in a straight line. Fol lowing this treatment the finish is to be thoroughly rinsed and then dried with a chamois skin. which should be thoroughly washed and wrung out dur ing the drying process. This action, as well as the sponging, should be carried out with a straight line move ment

PREPAREDNESS
 |S NECESSARY
 T0 MOTORISTS

Preparedness" in all things has be- come more or less of a byword, but the motorist who enjoys his Sunday tours or occasional vacation trip which takes him away from his home garage and the automobile supply houses where he is wnown, always finds it eXpedient to go prepared to make a few simple repairs on his tires should emergency call for his services In order to be ready for anything the thoughtful motorist is bound to provide himself with a well equipped kit of sundries and repair material. This kit should include such articles as emergency patches for cas- ing and tube, valve insides, cement and tape.
 Such a kit is never expensive and many motorists say they are well re- paid for their investment by the as surance and peace of mind which they derive from the knowledge that they are ready for anything
 w. K. Johnson, manager of the local branch of the Flick Rubber company advises every motorist to carry a sun lry kit in his car at all times. In rec 3mmending this he suggests situa- ion which is likely to occur with any motorist even though he is one who rarries a spare tire mounted and ready for instant use. Suppose a car picks ID nail and the driver is obliged to call his spare into action, it is quite possible that there might be another nail somewhere further along the road, md if he should be so unfortunate IS to pick up the second nail also he would find himself with one tire flat and no additional spare available.

MAXWELL BUREAU PROVES AID TO

Motorits from all parts of the United States are availing them selves of the Maxwell touring bureau established in New York with head quarters in the Maxwell branch office at Broadway and Columbus Circle according to Babbitt- Poison company local Maxwell dealers

 Information as to the main routes

 liable data about the condition of roads. This is constantly revised
 with ihe changes in any ot the roads Marked maps showing exactly where reads arc in Dad shape are supplied the visiting autoist These
 maps also show where rel airs in the
 roadway are being made.
 Motorists are givei, directions as tC

 Everything in the way of touring information is obtainable at the bu- reau. There are vest pocket, ol steering wheel route guides to blue books available.

 Instructors will tell you that they much prefer breaking in women to drive, for most of them will do as they are told; while the green man driver invariably takes directions with al- lowances. He cannot get over his business habit of discounting infor- nation.
 The above discussion of women drivers was actuated by an interesting piece of news from the Dort factory to the effect that four members of the fair sex were sent from Rochester N :.

WASHING JAR KEEPS FINISH
 IN CONDITION

Care in washing the motor car can not be emphasized too much, for pre- sentable appearance after year Of service rests wholly with the attention that is given the body finish says c. l.. Hedges, manager of technical serv- ice for the Haynes Automobile com pany, Kokomo, Ind, in q recent bull letin.
 Mir. Hedges advice is applicable to any car, and for that reason worthy of the attention of every automobile own CT. He writes in part as follows:
 The high gloss on a new car, in many instances, is lost in short time because it is irreparably marred in the first washings.
 The varnish on new car requires a month as minimum time in which to properly set. In warm weather it is often advisable, with a newly pur- chased automobile to shower the body, hood and lenders with clear cool wa ter This will aid in hardening the

"The average woman is naturally better qualified to drive motor car than is the average man." declares John D. Mansfield, general sales man. ager for the Dort Motor Car com- pany, according to a statement re- ceived recently from the factory by George Reuben, local agent.
 T base my belief on close observa- tion of women drivers generally, and a scrupulously kept record of Dort cars driven by, both sexes," he con- tinued
 Women are more careful than men. They not only possess a keener sense of distance, but are more alert to the contingency of trouble
 Man from his very nature, will take chances that woman intuitively will not. She measures the possibii- ties more accurately. She is more watchful in traffic, more alert in turning corners

The suds from this solution react on the finish and should be washed off immediately. Treatment of this kind, however, should never be employed on the body proper.

For three hours this morning a
frantic mother, Mrs. Cordes, with the
aid Of neighbors and the Boy Scouts,
searched for her two year old baby,
Mary Ellen, who had wandered away
from her home on South Florida ave-
nue.. The child wandered away with
the family dog and could not be
found anywhere The dog left the
child and returned home. and Mrs.
Cordes feared someone had picked up
the baby. Finally Edwin Franklin
and Carlisle Rogers, two Scouts,
found the baby on West Main street,
headed towards Lake Wire. The Joy
Of the mother can be better imagined
than expressed when she finally re-
ceived her baby bach into her arms.
The child seemed perfectly composed
and satisfied when found, wholly un-
conscious of the Juror she had
caused. Mr.. Cordes and family
moved here two weeks ago from
Jacksonville and are occupying one
of the Waring bungalows on South
Florida avenue.
