There are a number OF business
men here among others who refuse
to display the flag because they are
afraid they VIII offend the pro-oer-
mans and thereby lose trade. They
are the kind who always look on the

make a big mistake. I wouldn't go
IN a store that didn't display the
American flag now. wouldn't spend
nickel with man who Is afraid
and is too cowardly to tell people
where he stands. He may think he's
getting little pro-German trade but
he's losing American trade. Hes
fastening badge Of cowardice on

THE GRIEF CAR
Fly WALT MASON

Some years ago I bought a car that seemed as slick and smooth as tar. The agent said he'd bet his hat there agents, as all people ken, are most re- liable of men.
 In these glad days of which I treat, I had a place in Easy Street. My purse was never lean or lank, I had 8 package in the bank I felt that I could keep a car and never know financial jar. Like many another trusting scout, 1 had expenses figured out; so much for gasoline and oil, for tires and tubes, mechanics toll. I thought I knew just what twould cost-I thought I knew, and struck frost.
 Then came my days of grief and care, of tears and groans and black despair. I never drove that blamed old boat but something seemed to get it's goat; the motor always out of whack, the torsion split clear up the back, the oil pump often on the blink, the starter chain would shed a link; if one thing happened to be right, the other thing was in plight I used to stand and tear my hair and weep like every thing, and swear, until my wife would say, Great Scott! Quit handing out that kind of rot! I wish you'd give away that boat, for it is bound to get your goat. You're spending more than you can make repairing that old dizzy fake"
 So then took my wife's advice, and sold it for foolish price, and used my

 Among the latest to select an Over land car for a popular film is the Paramount Picture corporation which has chosen 1t as the vehicle portrayed in the picturization of "Bab's Bur glar," from the story by Mary Roberts Rinehart, Marguerite Clark. one of the most popular screen stars. se- lected the Overland as the car best fitted for her needs in the leading role of the production.
 The thousands who read the story when it was published recently, will recall the prominent part which an automobile played in the plot.

EXTENSIVE LOADING" IS
 OVERLAND TRAFFIC POLICY

Realizing that the heavy movement or government material, crop and countless other commodities will tax the freight carriers to the fullest extent. Willys- Overland, Inc, of Toledo, Is exerting every effort to make one freight car do the work of two," says Bob Lees. local Overland dealer. Intensive loading is the slogan in the traffic department, and 1t is directly in line with recommenda- tions of the national council of de- fense."
 In a letter to all Willys Overland dis tributors, the company says During the latter part of July, the national defense committee ordered lines north of the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi to send to lines south and west approxi- mately 134.000 cars. which means mate rial reduction in supply of railroad equip ment. Further orders may come from the committee at any time and distribu- tors should take every advantage of the

present situation and get as many auto- mobiles as possible into their districts.
 Beginning immediately, we must load practically all cars to capacity-this will mean that to double deck points, where from four to five automobiles have pre- viously constituted the load, we expect to load not less than six. To points in the east and nearby states we will elim- mate the loading of three automobiles to a car and will instead double deck to the cars full capacity.
 'To small towns where the unloading facilities are inadequate, double deck loads may at first be found hard to han dle, but every effort should be made in advance to anticipate this as we will not be able to discriminate in favor of any distributor or dealer. For that req son we Suggest that all distributors so arrange that, when dealers place orders, their orders call for six or more auto mobiles whenever possible. Then the freight car will be loaded to full capac- ity before it leaves the factory"

NEW OIL FOR OLD

If you want to keep a new motor like new. or an old motor from get ting older, give 1t new oil. The best of oil gets dirty when left long in a motor, and replacing it with fresh will be most welcome to the motor. At the bottom of the crank case you will find g plug which may be un- screwed, allowing the old oil to drain off. Replace the plug and pour a pint or more of kerosene in the oil- ing system. Then, leaving the ign1-3 ton turned off, turn the motor over a few times with the starter or the crank so that all the passages of the oiling system may be thoroughly cleansed. Then allow the dirty kero- sene to run off replace the plug and refill the oiler with clean, fresh oil. If this process is repeated every 2OUO miles-or oftener-much motor trou- ble will be avoided.

Since the United States became in-. voived in the world war and the great national cry was raised against luxuries, automobile manufacturers discovered that an annoying attack against their product resulted from it's common classification as pleas ure car.''
 The classification was so generally applied that in many cases the utility advantages of the product were over looked in the hasty efforts to estab- fish certain discrimina ation between necessities and iuxuries. Consequent ly the manufacturers have engaged in a sort of campaign of education dur ing recent months to point out that the name pleasure car,' in view of the utility of the automobile. is mis- homer.

THE CLEAN MOTOR

Many a driver who keeps the ex- terior of his car spotless neglects his motor. Realizing this, motor manu- lecturers are now enclosing the mo- tors as much as possible so that the working parts may be protected from dirt and dust But every driver does not possess such car, and no motor can be entirely dirt proof.
 Keeping the motor clean is neces- sary to it's efficiency. A dirty motor may be readily cleaned with stiff paint brush and a pint of gasoline. Brush 1t off thoroughly with the brush moistened in gasoline and wipe clean. If brother motorist asks to look at the motor, it may then be displayed without shame.

Although the pleasure advantages of the motor car are great. its utility ad- vantages are so extensive as to far overshadow the pleasure situation. One would not think of referring to 2 street car as pleasure car,' al- though there are many without auto piles who get great deal of enjoy ment out of riding on open street cars in hot weather. It has it's pleasure advantages, but they are decidedly in the minority compared with its utility advantages. The same is true of the passenger automobile.
 It is not strange that the misno- mer has been applied to the motor car, inasmuch as it certainly opened up field for pleasure which had never be- fore been known. The adaptability of the motor car to business uses, how ever, is its main feature and this fact should never be lost sight of. That is

BOYS BORN IN WARTIME

France is finding that many more boys than girls are born during war time. Superstition might lead one to believe that this was natures way of replacing the young men lost by war, but the Medical Monitor, official or gan of the French Academy of Medi- cine, has another explanation. Medi- cal scientists explain that women who labor long hours in the factory or in the field, doing the work of men, and so become extremely fattgued, can only be the mothers of male chil- drar1 .----.--- -.-.

PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE

Many motorists are greatly con cerned over the increase in air pres sure in their tires due to increases in temperature during hot weather. There is some expansion from this cause, but it is so slight that it need not cause worry.
 If the temperature of the air in tire increases from 60 to 80 degrees, it does not follow that air pressure per square inch increases from 50 to 80 pounds. 1t actually means an in- crease in pressure of three pounds per square inch
