Dealers Working Hard
To Make Special
Days Unique

The stage is set for the Liberty
Loan drive which the automotive and
accessory trades committee is to con-
duct on Automobile Row for the next
three weeks. The campaign has as
sumed magnitude little dreamed of
when the work was first started several
weeks ago. Every dealer on the "row"
has planned features for the sale of
bonds in his salesrooms on the special
day designated for the make of car the
dealer represents, and keen rivalry is
beginning to display itself.
Some of the features, according to
Il. S. Partridge and Harry De Bear, who
are looking after the speaking and en-
tertainment, will be of unusual merit.
Due to the fact that the programme is
long enc, Mr. De Bear has sent out an
urgent appeal to actors, movie stars
and other entertainers to volunteer
their services, and he urges any one
who wishes to help to communicate
with hlm at the Maxwell salcsrooms,
Flfty- ninth Street and Broadway.
AS originally planned the first shot
ot the campaign was to have started
with o rally at the Automobile Club Of
America last night, but owing to the
heavy preliminary work the meeting
vas postponed until a later date
Charles NJ. Brown, chairman Of the
automotlve and accessory trades COM
mittee, and Secretary Charles A. Stew

posters, subscription blanks and other
information regarding the sale Of

Repaired Tire Adds 5000
Miles to Original 5000

War economy and the curtailment Of
tire production make it essential that
every tomobilist get every ounce Of
use possible out Of his tires before
throwing them intY the scrapheap.
in these days, when men are resur-
recting from the dark corners of their
clothes closets the discarded garments
of past seasons as measure of econ
omy, it is equally as wise for the car
owner to take every step to squeeze a
few more miles out of his worn tires.
From its agent in Skidmore, Mo-. the
United States Tire Company has re-
celvcd some facts which show in a
very pointed way the possibilities of
additional service to be gotten out of
tires considered fit by their owners
only for the scrap pile
Some time ago 34X4 United States
nooby tread casing was sold by US to
one OF our customers in Skidmore. This
customer tells us that this casing oper-
ated 5000 miles, when it became punct-
ured in two or three places. Feeling
that the tire had run its necessary
mileage, and being a man who did not
care to be bothered with q tire worn
and punctured, this customer sold the
tire back to us for so cents.
We repaired the punctures and sold
the tire to another customer. who con-
ducts livery service with light
Buick six. This second customer
placed the repaired tire on his car and
ran it 5000 miles further, and sold it a
lew weeks ago to junk dealer in St.
Joseph for 70 cents"

Laying Up the Old
Car for the Winter:
Things to Do
By William H. Stewart. Jr.
President of the Stewart Automobile
School

frequently the question arises
whether or not to drain the oil from
the crank case before storing for the
winter. 1t is advisable to change it and
10 clean out the crank case in the fall
since then it can be done at ones leis-
urc. Usually an owner is impatient for
his car in the spring, and he will find
so many other things to do that he will
neglect the lubricatng system.
If the old oil is not drawn off there
IS danger of some water at the bottom
OF the case, which will freeze. This
gets in from leaks in the crank case or
around the bottom OF the cylinders.
Some of it condenses from the exhaust
gas escaping by the pistons. Open the
Grain plugs and catch some on the hand.
II no water is present the system is
safe to last through the winter.
The same advice about changing re-
ters to the gearset and differential If
convenient clean out and refill in the
tall, but no harm will be done by wait
ing until spring. Cover all exposed
metal with light grease or vaseline to
prevent rust.
ANY gasolene in the tank should be
drawn of and used for cleaning or for
another car. 1t deteriorates when
stored in the open for any length Of
t'mes losing its lighter constituents,
