Peace Sermons Abandoned

City Churches

Ministers who preached in New York
churches yesterday for the most part
accepted the imminence Of war as fit-

LOYALTY to the nation. Some actually
expressed satisfaction that the diPio-

situation.
The Rev. DR.. John A. Wade, rector OF

Neglect of Parts Which Should

Much Inconvenience

Most of the sources of trouble in an
automobile are out of sight There
are number of places where oil is

parts frequently wear slowly, but con
stantly, and finally cause trouble,
whereas little attention on the part
of the car owner would have. saved
much expense and Inconvenience.
Motorists should know all about the
hidden parts of their cars, and Frank
Coombs has given a comprehensive
statement of facts on the subject in
the following paragraphs, which every
motorist should study diligently:

a heavy load. and although the mo-

that these parts require a good supply

cne OF the mist important parts OF
an automobile Is the springs. Very
few people give the springs on their
cars any attention whatsoever, with
the exception Of turning down the
grease cups located at the end Of the
spring bolts.
The springs on most cars are the
lowest working parts to the ground
and are continually getting all the
dirt, dust and water on the roads.
Weather conditions In Honolulu are
such that you cannot give your
springs too much attention as there
is always more or less water on the
street which gets between the leaves,
causing rust and hard surface.
The springs should be taken off the
car every three or four months and
then scraped and polished to q new
surface, and then covered with coat
ing OF graphite and oil and replaced on
the car.
Springs may be creased by putting a
TACK under the car and raising II up
and then separating the leaves to In.
sert the graphite. But this method
Is Just about as effective as trying to
run your car with water in the gasc-
line
II the former method is carried out
YOU will increase the easy riding quail
tiles 50 per cent and prolong the life
of your car about the same percent

eliminated, due to the action and
flexibility OF the springs.

awhen was the first carburetors7
This is a question that has been
asked by many visitors to the various
automobile shows all over the coun-
try and is here answered by Walter
Findiesen, sales manager Of the Ray
field Carburetor Company.
Carburetors are as old as the hills,
hut the spray carburetor as used on
the automobile Of today came into be-
ine along about 1890, and Is generally
credited to William Maybach. Up to
that time carburetion had been ac-
complished by what is known as. a

STYLE OF CAR rs
new CONCERN Of
AUTO INDUSTRY
Dealer Declares Development
Will Be Along Lines I
of Refinement

Style will be the principal concerh>
of the automobile industry during the
next few years, in the opinion OF an
auto expert.
/ The first few years Of automobile
development were naturally along the
line of making the motor ear reason
ably dependable. This phase was fol-
lowed by a period in which the big
task was that of bringing down the
cost of the automobile through large
scale production and standardizing OF
parts and processes.
Now that this work has been done.
the automobile industry is entering q
period of refinement. The style com
petition that has hitherto been con-
fined mainly to the high priced field
has extended to the medium priced.
and even the low priced field
During the next three or four years
/ look for a marked Improvement IN
the style Of all motor cars. but notably
in the medium priced field.
No Reduction in Prices
While ] believe that competition
will again reduce prices when the con-
ditions nov prevailing have passed
away ~ 4 wv hOI IOOh - esDAASt0 -
turn 10 former prices. Instead. j be-
:Eeve that manufacturers will tend 20
maintain prices. but add to the refine
ments of their cars when lower costs
make this possible The car-buying
public has been educated up to regard
as necessities, in medium priced cars.
many features that only little while
ago were found in high priced cars.
in, the medium priced field the next
few years will show marked incIease
in individuality in design Tn exces
sive standardization which marks the
low priced field will likely continue.
but instead of monotcny in the med
iunl priced field there will be greater
variety of design than there is today.
Already there is a marked degree on
the part Of the medium priced car
buyer to look around for cars that
have some Individuality Once upon a
time the ownership Of an automobile
was in itself badge OF distinction.
AS automobiles have become more
common, people are looking for cars
that are different As some Of them
put IL, 7 don't want car that is just
like everybody else's.
