 These are some of the reasons why the most advanced methods and systems of haldling cars have been adopted at our service station, so that our customers cars and trucks win be given the proper attention and care Just as the most efficient ap- pliances have been installed, so we have given the same consideration and thought to our corps of service experts and mechaLicians. Every man in our employ is an expert in his particular line. They know the intricacies of power plants inside and out They are thoroughly famil- far with axles. differentials, trans missions, springs. brakes, etc. That such care is l.ecessary any exper- fenced owner will tell you.

SAYS SERVICE MOST
 ABUSED TERM

Service has been the most abused word in the English language when applied to automobiles. says Geo. H. Reubens of the Kissel Auto company Usually promises of service before d car owner becomes customer prove nothing but scraps of paper as far as any service being rendered.
 "A service station cannot succeed unless it is properly equipped to render service, and when l say ser vice I do not refer to a casual ex- animation and tiTkering of car. but the kind of service that serves. That IS the kind of service that counts and real personal service-expert service-means unlimited equipment of the most modern kind, both of mechanical appliances and expert mechanicians.'
 Confidence of customers and the permanency of their patronage can not be built on empty phrases any more than oh empty service stations. To deliver the goods a service sta tion must possess the goods"
 Limited service equipment means limited services. How can an owner expect an unequipped service station render him the kind of service his a vice man cannot know what service car needs until he has examined the ear. and unless his station is eol1ip- ped to render every conceivable ser vice, no matter what it is or where the trouble is located, one of two things is bound to happen. either a considerable loss of time is incurred m waiting for the necessary eduip- ment to arrive, or the work is a1 tempted with inadequate equipment. In either case, the customer suffers.
 Thel. again, the present day de- mand makes efficient service impera- tlVe. People are realizing that q car IS as good as the. care given. ir atd with the increased demand made upon the automobile, it is being used more than ever before. Owners have got ten in the habit of depending. ol. their. automobiles, and with this depend
 ance has come about a realization that it pays to give their car prope, attention While two or three years ago. owners rarely paid any heed to the proper care of transmission and other vital under the service details on which the life of their car de-
 pendns, today they"lrave become very particular and insist that the ex pert care that is usually bestowed on the motor is extended to take in all other mechanical parts so that they may work in harmony or without friction. This has raised the stand ard of service which owners now ex- pect from the service stations con- ducted by the dealers from whom they purchase their cars.
 The same is true of motor trucks Never before has there been such a demand for motor trucks. Never be- | fore have the uses of motor trucks | been so multitudinous and varied II | is certainty that they will be used
 more this winter than ever before II is a national necessity that the haul

----tD---------- DRILLS AND DRILLING

Even in regard to drilling holes, an operation that the man who does his own repair work is frequently called upon to perform, there are certain rules that will assist the operotar. In the first place drills are better. in the main than twist drills, as the latter are liable to grip in the work and the break off. especially in drilling a piece of thin metal. The drill should be sharp: blunt drills mean great eXertion and little accomplishment, while sharp one re- quires only moderate pressure. Brass. gunmetal and cast-iron are best drilled dry. Wrought iron and steel call for a little thin oil on the drill point. Some

MANUF LECTURERS
 DISCUSS All I OS . IN WAR PERIOD

More than 150 manufacturers of motor ears called together by the Ma tional Automobile Chamber of Com merce at Detroit a few days ago dis cussed the war situation as it re- lates to their industry
 The real accomplishment of the meeting was the transformation of q large group of doubting, uncertain and panicky manufacturers into a compact body with some real back bone. For a while it looked as i, the manufacturers were going to leave the meeting whipped, simply because they had not analysed the situation. or had not sufficiently in formed themselves on the situation in Washington and the industry it. self
 It was Hugh Chalmers who turned the tide of the meeting. making d speech which if it could be made public, truly would be historic The forenoon session broke up with man ufacturers il a very dubious frame of mind, uncertain as to whether they should be able to continue in business or not, and inasmuch as the bigger men in the industry had not expressed themselves to any cx-
 
 prevalent.
 In contrast with this situation the afternoon meeting broke up with the manufacturers in happy and opto- mistic mood because they came away fully informed as to the exact status l of conditions It was proposed resolution to turn oyer the entire in | dustry to the government which aroused Hugh Chalmers and caused | his speed, which has made him fam | OuS among motor car manufacturers. l He declared he would not go back to Washington with a resolution that would allow'the third industry of the j country to be torn to pieces aid legislated out of business He told the manufacturers that the govern ment came first, of course. but that business came second and that if they were going to be gloomy and i discouraged and allowed business to fall to pieces there would be no oI : galiZatiOns of business even to turn over to the government if need be He pointed out that business in the motor car industry always looked bao in November and December and that as in the last ten years it would i'm prove again with the new year. He Sdlu the IuIdcluTerS acted as Il their business was really illegitimate and denounced them for it, pointing out that motor cars were valuable and efficient in personal transporta- tion, saving time and ii other ways really important.
 When asked by the makers wha he told dealers, he said. Tell you dealers you will be able to give then cars and all the cars they will be able to sell. There may be a slight cur tailment of the industry of possibly 70 or 50 per cent but the industr, will not die out' and there will b, , plenty of cars made to meet the de mands.'
 A unanimous vote was taken pledging the support of the manu lecturers to the war industrie 5 board and to the war and navy de partments. To d man the manu 7 facturers expressed their willing ness to help win the war by offerin, the government the use of vast pro ductive facilities of the industry a fast as the government can make us . of them, but at the same time woul, 5 continue to build cars to as near / normal amount as the material situa l tion would permit

VALVE REPAIR

It frequently happens that the valves become short m the stem from constant hammering and if the tappets are not adjustable, proper valve opening is lost To remedy this condition, drill a small hole up the valve stem and file a steel peg that may be driven tightly into this hole. Drill and countersink a hole through a piece of steel strip and rivet it into the stem by means of the pro- jecting bit of steel pin. Trim off the job with a file. Another way to the same end is to drill and tap a small hole up the stem and screw in it a small Steel holt

GOODYEAR TIRE
 COMPANY MAKES
 ISSUE IF STOCK

Unusual interest and importance is attached to the announcement by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, of e $150OOO0 issue of eight per cent cumulative second preferred stock.
 In explaining the new issue Presi- dent F. A. Soldering says, "The company did a gross business in the fiscal year just finished. of $111,- 0O0,00O and has the capacity and equipment to produce. at present prices, a gross business of $200,0OO, 900. We were of the opinion that, due to war conditions, the business might be retarded during the coming yea, but our sales in November and De- cember of this year have been more than fifty per cent greater than for the same period last year, indicating that the compahy's business for 1918 might exceed $150,000 000
 While less than one per cent of our 1917 output was war business, the government now requests Us to take on war business in considerable volume. which necessitates a great1;- increased supply of raw materials. Our supply of crude rubber is se- cured mainly from Singapore, and as ocean shipping is irregular and un- certain, we are compelled to carry larger stocks and make advance pur- chases far beyond normal require ments
 The sale of $15.O0O,000 second pre- ferred stock will enable us to take care of our ever increasing business with larger profits for the company and greater security to the preferred stockholders as well as larger earn ings for the common stockholders
 The company is asking authority to increase it's capital stock S50,O00, l 900. half preferred and half common giving it an authorized capitalization of s100. 900 .000"

M ETAL SAWS

The metal saw is mighty handy garage tool, but there are certain things to remember in it's use. The steel blades are brittle and easily broken un- less the saving operation is properly carried out For iron and steel, fine toothed blades should be used. while for brass and soft metal coarser ones are advisable. Before saving make a true circumferential line around the tube. where the cut is desired. Then by turning the tube around little be- tween each cut, the operation will be straight and true. Incidentally broken saw blades are useful for various small repairs.

ness of design. Obviously the airplane engines must take up just as little room as possible, though it's parts must have a maximum degree of ac- possibility Now our present autOmO- bile engine types are creditable eX- amples of compact design, but the air plane engineer has carried this quality to far greater heights When the in fluence of his design gets a chance really to become disseminated after the war. we are going to have even more compact automobile engines than those of the present
 Now it must be remembered that the airplane designers of today can elim mate one element that is the largest O. all for the commercial automobile producer and that is the factor of cost. Government at war wants only the best for military purposes, regardless. Of expense. Not so the man who is pro- ducing a car to sell at a reasonab ble price for a moderate profit. But the airplane designers and their helpers have demonstrated that certain inn prOvements may be made in engine construction by the use of certain eX- pensiYe steel alloys and types It re- mains for the commercial producer to find a way of getting those alloys ana specially treated steels at prices mak- ing them available for his users. After
 the war when secrets come out, we venture to guess that all these inn proved metals will be made available
 for the ordinary manufacturer
 In summing up. we may say tha; after the lessons learned in military
 airplane design and construction have l been applied in the automobile field 1

 Somewhere in France,
 Sept. 1, 1918. My Dear Cousin and all the Folks at home:
 I will write you a short letter as promised to write you as often as could while 1 am over here. am well and feeling better all the time and I hope this letter will find you all well. We are getting down to hard drilling now. l have been ap- pointed corporal and am getting along nicely. The only thing that bothers me is not being able to un- derstand the lingo" the Frenchmen put up to us. They are nice fellows though and are awfully good to us.
 The country is pretty and I've seen
 
 some of the most beautiful homes l ever saw, also some buildings that were built in 1900 A. D. Saw the castle where Joan of Arc was pris- oner.
 The people all have bicycles and the girls and women ride them the same as the men do. l have only seen one patch of corn since I came over here. The people raise mostly vegetables, and everyone has vineyard, so they drink as much (vine) as they do water.
 You may think France is up-to-date but to mind it is about 200 years be- hind the times, so you ought to pc awful glad you are living in the good old U. s. A. We are a good way back from the front so don't be uneasy about me.

The Sammies are giving the Huns fits now and l expect to be back in Arkansas some time next year. I haven't seen any of the old boys yet. They are at the front. They are counted the best bunch of soldiers that ever landed in France.
 There are no wooden houses here of any kind, all stone, and the roads are all paved, so hiking isn't so bad. | I guess you have received my card announcing my safe arrival, also my other letter.
 I have seen lots of things would like to tell you, but paper is very scarce now and can't write all. will have to save them till 1 get back to the United States. l will do the best I can about writing, but expect you will have to get accus- toned to hearing from me in weeks, instead of days.
 I have seen lots of girls over here, but none of them look half as good as the American girls to me. l am anx- ious to get this thing over and get back home again, but I want to "do it up proper" while we're on the job, and not have to come over here agaln. We had nice trip across the At lantic. We were on it 12 days-elev- H 1 en of them we were outside of land. was sick only two days and was out 5 days before I got sick. We were all glad when we landed. There are lots of Sammies over here. We see them in very town. We have seen a good many Austrian and German prisoners too. I want you to send me Gazette and an Independent so can hear from the states. We don't get much news here only from the front.
 There won't be many men left over there if they take them from Is to 45. But I don't think Uncle Sam will need them. But it's a mighty good thing to have the men ready in case he wants them. We are in a good sized town now. l am staying up- stairs in house in town. The bak- cry is underneath. They bake the bread in baskets and the house and barn are combined. The French dc everything backward to what we do.
 Fall weather is here and the nights are real cool. It won't be long till real winter is here though the days are vet warm. I've just come back from a little swim, the fourth bath I've had since I left the states. It was in a nice little pool just outside of town. We wash our clothes III branch near here. This is certainly beautiful country, but as I said before being unable to Farley Woo Fran cav" and being broke is the worst thing about it. 1 could tell you a great many things if I could see you. However, don't worry, for l am con fident I'll be home some time the coming year. Every one here Is full of confidence.
 I must close now. Be sure and write soon and don't forget the ad- Ldress. Lots of love to you.
