she was held after school hours.
The accused said the girl was not

AUTOISTS SHOULD
STUDY METHODS
OF CAR UPKEEP

In the face Of the fact that automobile
construction is being constantly reduced
and that Il will soon become much
harder to secure cars. It 4 surprising
how many motorists still abuse some Of
the simplest rules Of operation and IN
keep.
"As a matter OF ordinary economy.
every man who drives a car should
famillarize himself with at leas. the
simpler rules OF automobile maintenance.
The best way TO do this Is to get on
speaking terms with the instruction book
that is supplied with each car" says an
authority.
For instance. instruction books state
very clearly that certain grades Of oil
should be used in the transmission and
rear axle. Yet cases are constantly
brought to our attention in which
greases have been used. These units are
designed TO be fabricated by oil. and It
Is an injustice to the car to use nything
else. And so It goes. Every make OF car
Is dlferent-has certain peculiarites Of
Its own-that demand more than a gen.
eral knowledge Of upkeep. The answer
IL the instruction book.
Furthermore, any man who Is care
less in this direction does not realize
how much he Is missing in the way OF
smooth operation; or how great chances
he may be taking"
