NEW ZEALANDERSPAY
 DOLLAR GALLON FUR
 GAS AND YET SMILE

While we in America shudder at every half cent increase in the price of gasoline and tax our inventive brain to produce some effective substitute for that useful power producing liquid. Maori natives in far away New Zealand buy dollar gallon gasoline without a change in the expression of their stoicsl oriental conferences; push up the throttle of their Republic trucks and speed away to a distant ranch for an- other load of wool.
 What care these natives for the price of gasoline. for they have proved that motor trucks of the right kind are far cheaper than oxen or burros for trans porting the products of the far inland ranches 10 the seaboard. IL is esti- mated that so per cent of all the motor trucks used on these islands are used Tn transporting wool Some of the ranches are as much as 90 miles inland and the roads narrow. winding and over steep hills. yet Republics have proved fully equal to the job. More than half of an the trucks in New Zealand are Republics due to the fact that these trucks because of their correct design and the iutern-' gear drive are very economical on tires. gasoline and oil. All these commodities are very high In price in New Zealand.
 Numbered among the users of Re- public trucks in this unusual work are several Maori chieftans and even Maori women who own ranches and hire the most economical form of transporta- ton. The fact that the wool shipping season lasts but four months has de- veloped truck freighting service in this outpost of civilization that is more highly developed than in many more modern communities. For the large numbers of trucks used in wool hauling refuse to he idle eight months In the year and have shown their economy and money making possibilities in hauling supplies to the ranchers throughout the off seasons. The per formance of Republic trucks in this work attracted the favorable attention of tho New Zealand government who recently purchased fleet of Repub- lies for military purposes.
 In Australia tho conditions are rath- CT different than in New Zealand. In- stead of developing trucking business 70 such large proportions the Austral isns have specialized on the passenger carving business. But here, too. Re public trucks are proving their ef- flciency and fully 75 per cent of all trucks landed in Australia are Repub lies The Australian government has recently purchased 20 Republics to be used in government work.

OWNERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Do you think it pays to take a CadiI- lac, four years old and make form-a- truck out of it? The car Is in fairly good shape but I am afraid the heavy load will put it out of business in a month and that certainly won't pay for the attachment.-James Gillen.
 I cannot tell the condition of the chassis, but after fairly good repair Job, the chassis should be good for many years of service. You know bet ter than l, the condition of the chassis. It certainly pays to use an old chassis for one of the attachments.
 Is 1t possible for a rear axle shaft to break when running ahead at a steady speed? What might cause the break age outside of defective material?-S. A. Alden.
 The shaft might break at any time It may be caused by defective material weak spot in the shaft caused by a cut, out Of alignment of the shaft.
 With this new law going into effect adding two cents a gollon to the cost of gas what would you suggest to make up for the loss? In my case it means a great deal as am operating a number Of trucks and two passenger cars. and the total amount of gas used in a week comes to & tidy sum.--Arbuthnot On the trucks l would suggest trying Ia kerosene outfit. There is no reason why kerosene cannot be handled to a satisfactory degree. Of course, there will not be the same flexibility as with gasoline, and a small tank of gas will be needed for starting. but on the whole the results should prove satisfactory {; and the saving appreciable.

Practical Paragraphs
On Washing.

On Washing.
 The car should never be washed in direct sunlight. 1T the operation is not carried out in the garage the vehicle should be in tho shade while being washed. The direct rays of the sun striking on water causes heating which tends to dull the finish. In the same way the hood should never be washed when it is hot, as directly after Q run.
 Wise Usefulness.
 Noi only is the heavy wise a valuable part of the garage equipment for it's obvious service. but it may often be advantageously used for straightening bent parts. In doing this care should he taken to place the part to be operated on in such a way that the pressure comes against the support of the wise. as this obviates severe strain on the outer jaw and screw threads.
 Kerosene and Carbon.
 Kerosene will not dissolve carbon. tradition to the contrary. but a little kerosene put into the cylinders may loosen the carbon. It breaks up the cakcd deposits, which may then par tially be blown out of the exhaust. The method Of using the kerosene is as follows. About a tablespoonful of the

kerosene is poured into the combustion chamber while the engine is hot The engine Is then allowed 10 stand for about twelve hours, when an eighth glass of kerosene is fed into the air valve of the carbureter with the en- zine running and throttle we'll open. Feed the kerosene slowly and the en- zine sucks 1t in.
 Motor Adjustments.
 Adjustments made on the engine while it is cold, seldom are satisfac- tory in actual operation. The engine heats up when running and the metal expands with the warmth. which nulli- fies the valve of adjustments made when the metal was cold.
 Cause of Missing.
 A not infrequent cause of spasmodic engine missing is either moisture or grease on the ignition distributor face. The current passes across the surface of the water or oil instead of pursuing it's proper course. It is a good plan to give the distributor a cleaning at fre- quent intervals.
 Frosted Glass.
