.OLDSMOB|LE CHOICE
 OF NAVY DEPARTMENT

In commenting on the fact that a considerable number of OldSmoblle touring cars are being put into ser vice by the United States navy Billy Ferguson of the Ferguson-Keelel company said: Nearly everyone who hears of this expresses surprise that the navy should need automobiles. The fact of the matter is, the navy needs cars for the same reason thai the army or business man, for thal matter, need them-to speed up the enormous amount of work they have to accomplish. A great deal of the navy's work these days is done on the ground, some of it in inland cities. Il is most feasible to give raw recruits their initial training on dry land. And naturally all construction and repair work is confined to land.
 'All of this work is necessarily un- der the supervision of navy officers and when one considers the enor nous recent extension of our naval program it is easy to understand that there are only too few highly trained men who can take charge of affairs Their time is almost priceless and in- asmuch as their presence is constant ly required at widely separated points, it is of the utmost importance to pro- vide speedy, dependable transporta- tion for them.
 ~Only high grade cars are consid- cred for this. work by the navy de- partment and of course we take a great deal of pride in the fact that the | Oldsmobile should have been given preference.
 The model chosen is the standard eight cylinder Oldsmobile touring car l finished in the official battleship gray with the naval insignia on the real doors.
 ITO date cars have been shipped tr the naval training stations at San Francisco. Hampton Roads and Min neapolis, the naval operating base al Norfolk, the experimenting construc- tor of aircraft U. s. N. at Buffalo the naval air station at Hampton Roads and the naval radio station at Porto Rico.

TWO
 MON THIS 88-8
 AGAIN RUNNING

A Willys-knight model Ss-eight car, after being submerged in the Red river for two months last winter is now in service again at Fargo, North Dakota.
 To avoid collision the car was driven through a. bridge near Moor head, Minn., and fell into the Red river some eighteen feet below.
 Overland Doyle company of Fargo, N. D., took charge of the adjust recovered, and found the motor in will give an idea as to what little effect the soaking" really had on it.
 The cylinder heads were removed and cleaned. then a pint of kerosene put in each cylinder. It took only fif- teen minutes to turn the motor over. The oil case was not removed and cleaned, but simply drained of water and oil. then fresh oil supplied. The magneto and generator were dried and cleaned; the heads were put on and the motor allowed to run for about an hour. In the meantime, the transmission and differential were cleaned of water and oil. The rear half of the body was removed. which left the drivers seat on the chassis then a new steering wheel was in stalled.
 This car was then tested and, aftel the spark timing was advanced and the carburetor adjusted, travelled 6S miles an hour. It had previously been driven about 2,500 miles.

CAREFUL DRIVING
 WILL GREATLY GUT
 EXPENSE UT OWNER

Careful driving will greatly reduce the average owners expense" said A. C. Robbins of Greer Robbins, distri- butors of the Hupmobile and Chal- mers cars in the Los Angeles terri tory. Bear in mind just one item-that of tires. Cars that are hard on tires pile up operating ex- pense no matter how careful a driver may be. And there is hardly any doubt that tires are doing to cost more in view of the embargo on crude rubber imports.
 Tt probably is conservative to state that from , to 10 per cent of the fuels used by motorists in the United States can be saved if all motorists will stop running their motors when cars are standing still. This is not only an expensive practice but it is a somewhat dangerous nuisance, and undoubtedly will soon be prohibited in all the principal cities of the coun- try.
 The proper adjustment of carbu- retors will make another considerable saving and one almost as great can be made by the careful use of the foot throttle. It was only the other day that an owner of the new model R Hupmobile told us that by proper adjustment and careful driving that he had made recently a trifle more than twentysix miles to the gallon Chalmers owners by burning distil- late are also holding down their ex- pense bills and are getting just as good mileage as on gasoline. The hot spot and the ramshorn manifold new features on the Chalmers, af1 factors that are attracting thousands to this car.
 ''The driver who is constantly in- creasing and throwing off his power undoubtedly makes the more noise but he does not add to the comfort of his passengers and he pays 8 rather stiff price for his carelessness when he settles his fuel bills"

STEAM LOGICAL
 POWER STANLEY
 AGENT DECLARES

Steam is recognized as the logical power" is the statement made by Jack Smith of the Arizona Steam Mo- tors company, the agents for the stanley Steamer. ITO prove it, he further stated, the government is using this form of power in it's bat tie tanks to fight the Hun.
 No power now used reaches it's maNlmum at low speed no power now used can utilize such a cheap form or tuel and these reasons alone are sufficient to give a basis for the gov ernment decision" continued Smith.
 The Stanley steamer is the cul- mlnatlon of many years of study on the problem of utilizing steam power on pleasure cars. The nature of the power gives the automobile great rid Ing qualities and thereby effects con- siderable saving in tires and upkeep.

.MOTORZ|NC TRUCK
 EQUIPMENT TOPIC

Somewhat recently there was in- troduced a three wheel electric tract or unit, designed to replace a team of horses, while otherwise employing ex- istlng truck equipment.
 One of these units is a three-Wheel model, propelled by the forward cleo tric wheel, and is of a length about equal to a pair of horses. The speed when loaded, is approximately 50 per cent faster than that of team, and about 100 per cent when run ming empty.
 This model is expected to accom- plish results ordinarily achieved by two teams and drivers. The plan is to use one tractor in connection with two wagons. no change being made in wagon construction, other than to re- move. the tongue and the whippletree, and to substitute therefor a suitable, flexible or bale, connection, which will enter into the coupling at either side of the electric tractor.
 It is understood that a number of these electric tractor installations are working very satisfactorily in prac- tice.

There is no reason why we should

DON'T LET SOAP
SPOIL YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali, which is very in
furious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap, and beats
the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides
1t loosens and takes out every
particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.
