PUT BAN ON GASOLINE CARS
Vienna Authorities Consider Licensing
Of Electrics onIy-Reason for
Action Unknown.

The city authorities of Vienna are
considering policy of refusing licenses
to gasoline cars which are to be used
within the municipal area, says Power
Wagon.
This drastic policy, should it be en-.
forced, would probably succeed in put.
ting vehicle transport on an all-electric
basis for all time to come. 1t is not
known whether the policy is receiving
consideration because of the alleged
superiority of the electric machine or
because the gasoline machines and the
fuel they require are needed for the
army.
The city has splendid facilities for
supplying electric current, SO that the
zone of electric vehicle operation could,
If necessary, be extended at least
twelve miles beyond the city bounda-
ries by establishing charging stations
1T railway terminals, in garages and al
'ther chosen points and by persuading
he Austrian vehicle makers to adopt
standard type and size of battery so
hat batteries could be exchanged.

DIM HEADLIGHT WHILE lDrl
Waste of Current Drawn Direct From,
Battery and Wasteful Use o.
Lamps-Glare Not Pleasant.

Wear and tear on the storage bat
terry of a car is too much of an item
to be ignored, and everything that
tends to keep it down is worthy of CON
sideration. One very good thing not
to do is to leave the headlights burn
ing at full intensity when the car is
standing. Not only is it waste of
current, which is drawn direct from
the battery, and waste of the life of
the lamps, but the glare is apt to have
an unpleasant effect upon the eyes Of
people forced to face it.

ills OF MOTOR CAR
Noted Medical Adviser Tells Mo-
torist of Many Things for
Their Benefit.
CANNOT keep CAR TOOCLEAN
Sweetness and Purity Of Its Appear
ance Intimately Associated With
Length of Its Life-Don'ts for
Caretaker.

The life and health of a motor car
like goodness in men, is closely akir
to cleanliness, writes DR.. Leonard
keene Hirshberg of Johns Hopkins
university in American Motorist. The
sweetness and purity of it's appear
ance is intimately associated with the
length of its life, the friction and
well being of its component anatomy.
You cannot keep your car too clean
or the sheen on its body too well
polished.
Motorists ere now are familiar with
the axiom, Spread yourself in oil and
save your metal" This is only the
application to the motor car of the
overworked and age-old allusion to
medical advice, "An ounce of proven.
ton will save pound of cure"
Show me a Justified, dirty, soiled
machine, and l will make the prophecy
OF short shift and rapid depreciation
OF the car. Dirt, lack-luster and a
dulled car body spell worse than rapid
loss of value.
Don'ts for caretaker.
Among the don'ts for the caretaker
of car are these:
Never run the car in the mud if
detour will permit you to escape it.
Mud is the natural foe of machin-
cry.
Never use rough cloths with which
TO wipe, clean or polish your car.
Never use an excess of oil or body
polish. 1t collects dust and turns into
grit.
Never use muddy or soiled water
with which to wash your car.
Never fold a top down when it is
wet.
Never allow mud to remain on a
car one moment longer than Is abso-
lutely possible.
Never allow mud, if possible, to dry
on the car. Wash off Immediately with
cold water.
Never dig, scrape chisel or shovel
mud from the polish. It destroys the
varnish and paint.
Never use force for any purpose
A weak solution of soda will caiole
he toughest mud and grease from the
,ody.
Never dry the surface with soapy
water on it. Rinse all soap and SOAP
uds off before drying.

FotiSn TOT the 6ody.
Never accept Tom, Dick and Harry's
"sure restorer" Of the original factory
sheen and luster. Mark Twain said
that everybody has certain cure for
colds" So almost every driver and
garage keeper implicitly avows his
body polish to be the best for the car.
Dead men tell no tales; neither does
the injured finish on a car.
Shun all such as Billy Sunday fees
Old Nick. Instead buy some boiled
linseed oil; never use the unboiled. It
will not do. Also some furniture wax,
and let elbow grease do the rest. The
vanished part is first washed, clean
ed, rinsed and dried, then the boiled
oil is lightly applied and rubbed COM
pletely off. The lighter metal parts
can be still further finished with the
furniture wax massaged to a highly
Iustrous finish.
Rough, heavy soap, full of alkali,
also eats into the varnish and coats of
the body. You will avoid this in mani
curing your car by heating a gallon
of water into which is stirred a pound
and half of soap. This is your stock
solution of soap for the chassis, body,
and other parts. 1t should, of course,
always be applied with soft, silky
sponge, rinsed off in clean, cold wa
ter, and dried with chamois skin.
