Hutchinson, Kan, no longer annoys
the men with thirsts who lament the
waste of whisky and beer confiscated
in Kansas. Heretofore these liquors
have been poured into the gutter to
tease with their aroma. But the ad-
vent of the motorcar has brought a
new means of dIsposing of confiscated
liquor.
Mayor A. G. G~leadall of Hutchin-
son is the genius who has discovered
the new use for liquor. He has or
dered it all saved and stored and will
put it in the radiators of the city's
motorcars to take the place of an an
ti-freeze dope" which the city has
been buying.
incidentally he is also setting 4
good example with respect to broken
bottles. The bottles in which liquor
vas bought will no longer be smash
ed-with danger of the pieces even
tually getting on highways-but
emptied and sold to a local bottling
works which will put into them non

HOW CARE N DETAIL

FEATURES Arranged for eat
East and Convenience.

How much the arrangement of less
er feature can be made to contrib
ute TO the greater comfort of those
driving and riding in a motor car is
shown in the Cadillac Eight. These
details are sometimes considered to
be of minor importance. Yet in sew
eral instances the CadillaS designers,
by i~ntelligenuly handling these e
lures, have made them real elements
in adding to the convenience of driv-
er and passenger.
Auxiliary tonneau seats in the Cad
lilac Eight, for example, occupy absO-
lutely no space when not in actual
use. When folded, they disappear en-
urely into the recesses in the back of
the front seat, which presents a
smooth surface. Entrance and exit
are not impeded in the lightest. and
the in the rear have use
OF all the space. The auxil-
larry seats, both when folded and
when in place. present nothing which

the seats to get them and they can
be attached without getting u of

INSPECTING BRAKES

In Case One Tire Wears Faster Than

equal Brake Pressure.
1t is often that the motorist upon
inspecting his tires finds that one
rear tire is wearing cry much faster
than the tire on the opposite wheel,
Very likely both tires were put on at
the same time and had the same
mileage. The right rear may wear out
a little faster than the tire on the OPP
posite wheel because of the fact that
while the motorist pulls out to the
side of the road in passing other We
hicles. subjects this right rear tire to
the unimproved road, But there is
another reason, which is usually the
cause for one of the rear tires to
wear faster than the other and this
is due directly to the brakes not be-
ing equalized BY this is meant that
n brake-drum does not take hold
IN exactly the same time and with as
much force as the brake-drum on the
other wheel.
An occasional inspection of your
brakes should be made in order to
reduce your tire cost per mile and
to make your brakes dependable.

MODELS FOR
1877 NOT CHANGED
Line Announced in July Continued
With But Eew Alterations.

IA UoJ ANAN
With but y Alterations.
Buick models for 1917 are "a con-
tinuation OF the models brought out in
July, and are unchanged. AT that
time Buick returned to the four cyl
inder car. bringing out the D-4-34 AMI
D-4-35. The former is a two pas
senger roadster, the latter a five-pas-
Senger touring car. This model fol-
lows the characteristic Buick design,
with valve-in-head motor 8 S-S by
1 ga.
Although OF overhead-valve design
this motor has a detachable head
built in unit with the valves, a de-
sign that makes it possible to get at
the valves when the head is remov-
ed. and at the same time gives u free
opening into the cylinders.
The six-cylinder model mount -four
body types, namely two-passenger
roadster, four-passenger roadster,
roadster, three passenger cabrlolet
and seven-paSsenger sedan.
Practically no changes over the
mid-season models are incorporated
in the six-cyIinder cars at this time.
The CHIEF feature is the new exhaust
manifold Instead of arching over
the intake manifold, as formerly, it
IS lower and rests between the intake
manifold II the cylinders.
By this construction the intake air
passes along the exhaust pipe, be-
comes heated and thus better per-
Torrance in winter driving. Among
the other specifications are Marvel
carburtor. Delco starting, lighting and
ignition, cone cluth, 3-speed a
set, Weston-Mott floating axle ana
