DEALERS RESPOND

Arrange Their Affairs With q

THE splendid response OF automobile

ager OF the metropolitan King dis
tributing headquarters. THE same de-
sire to help Is found also among dealers
and they are doing only those things
which are acceptable to the Govern
ment. They have put their houses In
order TO meet all wartime needs. They
want to keep their doors open but will
not do so at the expense OF men or ma =
terial that can be used by the Govern
ment.
"Since the loyalty of automobile deal
ers and owners has been so clearly
proved, official Washington has regarded
the automobile with much more favor
and there is a much better spirit OF
cooperation between Government repre-
sentatives and those of the industry.

Company, inaugurated some time ago.

OF a definite number of cars up to
January and notified selected num-
her of dealers of its programme, has
worked out splendidly without interior
ing with any Of its Government obliga-
tons King dealers are we'll pleased
with the plan because they say they
know just where they are all the time,
and, accordingly are able to operate to
advantage.
Here in New York we are cnoduct-
ing our business In such n way that
should conditions require greater re-
trenchment we shall be in a position to
meet needs that are not at present ap-
parent, and still keep things going.
II cite our case simply because l
think something that we know has
worked out well. may give some other
dealer an idea to help keep him going.
certain amount of elasticity Is essen
'tial in all automobile establishments
these days so that the shock Of sudden
changes may be absorbed without seri-
Gus damage.
I'VE find the public still very much
interested In automobiles and are pre-
pairing to meet the demands we expect
for our closed models. We are now
preparing to exhibit our closed cars for
the benefit of those who want to over
come railroad delays and travel in COM
fort during the coming winter"

And the poor hard working UNIVERSAL
joints, how abominably the average
owner neglects them! These joints turn
at engine speed and they should have
their lubricant renewed every 500 miles.
Graphite grease or fake graphite Is best
to use here. as oil will leak out of the
best universal cover and moreover the
centrifugal force present tends to throw
the oil to one side when the part is in
operation. The universals should be
cieansed with kerosene and then be re-
packed with fresh graphite grease.
The transmission and rear axle do not
operate at quite the same intense speed
as the engine parts, but they need regu-
lar fabrication just the same. Both these
parts should be flushed out with kero-
sene and ref1lled with fresh oil every
1000 miles of running. The lubricant
for use here is "a seml-fuid or heavy
cylinder oil in summer, while in winter
a medium cylinder oil Will be best. Do
not use grease in the transmission or
rear axle, as the gears simply cut a
pathway through this lubricant and
thereafter run practically dry.
The wheel bearings, which need cup
grease ora graphite lubricant should be
cleaned out thoroughly and repacked

ing system is more insistent of attention
and should be thoroughly oiled every 500
miles, and the careful driver will go over

that with means afforded by the gov

Make Splendid Showing In
Purchase OF Liberty Bonds.

One of the bright spots in the cam
paign of the Fourth Liberty Loan
drive is the splendid showing being
made by the shop employees through
out the city. The spontaneous re-
sponse of the worSingmen to the ap-
peal of the committee workers is much
cause for qualification.
G. B. Deacon" Atkins, captain of
the shop team says the shop employees
purchases will go over 100000. This
is certainly a splendid showing on the
part Of the sons of toll. If those in
our city who can, but won't would buy
in proportion to wealth as the work
ingmen are doing, Hamilton would
over subscribe her quota two or three
times.
Among others of the employees
where big purchases are being made,
are the Hooven employees whose pur-
chases will run over the 100000 mark
Champion Coated Paper Co., with
$4,000. The Niles shop viii go
$4,000 or more. In fact all the shops
are running up great sums SO that by
Saturday night, the time of the close
of the campaign, the bond purchases
among the shop employees will run way
past the 100000 mark.

selves what share of them they ought
to invest in Liberty Bonds" said
Franklin. When they come to real
ize what the discovery of America has
meant to them personally, what 1t has
meant for the cause of freedom and
democracy, what it will mean for the
salvation of the world in the present
world tragedy, when they begin to
feel all this, they must OF necessity
say: This Is worth investing In,
worth fighting for, worth making any
sacrifice for To create this state of
mind is the purpose of celebrating the
discovery of America.
"It is our hope that the nationwide
celebration will stir such enthusiasm
over Americas mission In the world
as to enable each community to reach
at least its quota by that day. Let
every local community make this it's
goal and on Liberty Day announce the
achievement and rejoice over It,"
The Bureau Of Education is sending
suggestions for this festival to all the
schools of the country.
