WINTER AUTO CARE
How to Keep Finishes Bright De-
spite Exposures.
CAR OWNER MUST USE Care
Protective Coat Of Paint Is Heavy and
Shields the Softer Coloring Base
From Inroads of Weather.
Use Cold Water.

Keeping the car comfortable is not
the only winter problem. How to pre-
serve its finish despite winters attack
Is important. "The car owner must
care during freezing and thawing
weather." says G. L. Hedges, who adds:
"The paint of a car is composed Of
three principal parts: First. the foun-
dalton or printing coat; second, the
color, and, third, the protective coat.
The protective coat is a heavy, hard
coat of transparent varnish which pro-
tects the softer coloring base from
the inroads of the weather. If this
protective coat is kept firm, the color
coats will hold their original bril-
liancy.
Washing a Car.
"Never try to wash the car out in
the cold. Take 1t In where 1t is mod
erately warm. Then use clear, cold
water. The cold water will have a
tendency to harden the varnish on a
new car, thereby preventing abrasion.
II you use any soap at all, use only a
limited amount, as free acid or alkali
tends to soften the finish. Soak the
uluu tuOIOuBhiy WIN u Shiuh
Of water until mud runs off. Don't
rub the mud off. If mud has frozen to
the finish, keep on applying cold wa
ter until 1t runs away. Never use
hot water. In drying the a avoid
using a chamois that contains any sand
or grit. If polish is necessary, use a
good grade, then rub off the surplus.
"Never allow a car of fine finish to
stand In a barn or stable where ami
mails are kept. The ammonia of the
manure will check and ruin the finish.
Temperature for Garage.
"Don't keep the garage too hot. This
caution applies to what is probably
the greatest enemy Of the fine body
finish. In an overheated garage the
body of the car expands gradually; If,
then, following this condition. the car
is suddenly exposed to extreme cold,
the result is plain. The sudden on
traction in cooling causes the paint to
check. Bearing In mind this direction
along with those given before, those
who own good cars and have from the
first taken pride In their finish will
be able to drive through the coming
months of severe weather with little
or no danger Of damaging this finish"

DRIVING OVER BROKEN STONE
Take Short Run at Stretch and Let
Oar Coast With Clutch out-Rear
Wheels Relieved.

The best way to drive a car over q
stretch of broken stone is to take a
short run at it-not o fast-and let
the car coast over the stone with the
clutch out. Thus the rear wheels are
relieved Of driving strains and of the
resulting tearing actions of sharp
stones on the rubber. OF course, It is
not always practicable to do this, but
when it can be done 1t adds Just a lit
tie more to the life of the tires.

The Liberal Tageblatt reflects the
general attitude Of the press in de-
claring that negotiations at Stockholm
would be impossible. The newspaper
says that the British, French and
American diplomats and their numer-
GUS agents now in Stockholm would
promptly weav a net of intrigue
around the conference and that es-

Washington. - Premier Lloyd
Georges address to the British trades
unions on Great Britain's war aims
created a profound impression in Off

A feature of the address which par
ticularly interested officials here was
the reference to constitutional gov
eminent in Germany.
While this was regarded as nearly
in line with similar sentiments ex-
pressed by President Wilson, 1t was
suggested hat an underlying purpose
was to direct attention to the hollow
ness and insincerity of the efforts be-

LONDON, Sept. 16.-American
residents of London celebrated the
American victory in hotels and pub

Star-Spangled Banner" and other
airs. Londoners, generally informed
by special editions Of the continued
satisfactory progress OF the American
attack and the Austrian peace offer,
experienced an unusually sensational
Sunday and displayed exuberance
and hopefulness that was in marked
contrast with the gloom Of the sum-

Austria making what appears to be
an official bid for peace, things ct
