Nontrose Enterprise:


Now that old John Barieycorn

Of tobacco, claiming that lady uico-

French Dressing-The very name

in any home where there are small
children.
Two-Button C1taway-The two-but-
ton cutaway has long been . vicious
garment; it is SO tight fitting that
well, really, loose flowing garments
only should be allowed.
Shirt Sleeve Supporters-They too
must go. There is no room in our
life for the frivolous.
Open Work Shocking!
Always. That reformers should be
forced to observe them upon our pub
Lie streets is . crime. They should be
legislated out of existence-the stock
ings,. not the reformers.
Tomato Catsup-The habit Of eat
ing tomato catsup is a national crime.
II ferments in the stomach and causes
catsupitis, which is rapidly devouring
us.
Short Skirts-Nothing need be said
Of the subject. The state will vote

afternoon in the trophy room in Oyster Pay: when passing the cigars around, he remarked that he would vouch Tor the quality. They must be good" he remarked, flor they're some of Leon ard Woods. 1 never smoke myselr, so have to rely on the judgment of others"
 Did you ever smoker" some one asked.
 There is where that story of my drinking started" he continued, not hearing the question or ignoring it.
 You see, when I would decline a cigar, saying I did not smoke, folks would often ask, in a joking way, What are your bad habits?" In the same spirit l would reply, Prize fighting and strong drink"
 Now it so happens that the Lord in His infinite wisdom elected to create some folks with whom it is never safe to joke-solemn asses who lack a sense of humor. l am very fond of that story of Sidney Smiths, who playing with his children, stopped suddenly, saying, Children, we must now be serious here comes a fool You know the kind he meant-those poor unfortunates who must take everything said to them lit orally.
 One of these to whom I made that remark said: Roosevelt hear, drinks hard The other fool replied, 'Tes that's true. He told me so himself.' And so it went.
 "That is all there ever was to the talk of my drinking. From that start it spread and spread until, in self Ge- fense, I was compelled to take actior to stop it. Some folks have said ] went out of my way to find a little

MAXWELL HAS B|G
 GASOLINE AVERAGE

We lea dof gdrloug records to and from Globe via the Roosevelt dam, some for speed others for high gear work, but, according to R. D. Roper the record that really counts is the record that really counts is the record for gas mileage, such as Maxwell owners bring reports of 10 him.
 Last week a Maxwell, in the course . ia round trip to Globe and vicinity from Phoenix travelled over 360 miles and averaged 21.5 miles to the gallon of gasoline.
 This trip was made by W H. Batcher of Batchers garage, carrying a capac- ity load of five people and baggage. He drove the entire distance in two days of driving and used just 17 gallons of gasoline
 We made no special attempt states Batcher, ito get big mileage. and 1 do not conside rthis record phenom- enal for a Maxwell. although it would be for most cars. As a class, we Max well owners really expect to get greater mileage at less cost than the other fellow

editor who could not well defend him self The fact is, he was the one editor could hold to account. There were and are editors nearer New York I gladly would have sued under like cir cumstances, but they knew better than to print what they knew was untrue.

 we parted good friends. I cer- tainly had nothing against him. In his zeal to do things, he put in print what shrewder and really malicious men who would harm me if they could, dare
 not do. I believe he was honestly sorry when he found his error. | However, the thing had it's value | We're never t- old to learn, and cracked the simplest joke Thank God | there are many you can joke with il sofety. If we couldn't laugh once in 2

today uses about as much fuel as a gasoline car. Of course such a car is safe to drive.
 c. Can you tell me if it is possible to get a magneto to take the place of a. storage battery ignition outfit with out going to much expense for in- stallation? I will stand a reasonable outlay for a good system. What do you thing of the new Aero magneto made by the Splitdorf people? Is their principle right? Would you recommend such a magneto?
 A. You can get almost any standard magneto to take the place of a bat~ery unit. On some cars the installation is an easy matter and costs little. think very highly not only of the Aero magneto as unit but of the principle. I would recommend you get in touch with the Splitdorf factory regarding prices and installation.

SERVICE DEPARTMENT

Q. Can you suggest quick way to repair a. gas line that has broken off near the csrburetor? I want this for future use as I had the sad experience of breaking one at midnight on a dark road about four miles from garage.
 A. Without rubber tubing, that can be slipped over the broken ends, or a sufficient length to be substituted for the entire gas line the only thing 10 do is to attempt 10 file one end of the tubing so it will fit into the other. A joint of this kind taped over a few times will hold for some time. A butt joint will not do at all.

 Q. My car squeaks terribly, due to the rims, which also emit loud click inS noise. I get out and tighten the holding Jugs at intervals. but it seems 10 do little good. Is it due to the rim pr the Jugs, and how can I stop it?
 A. The clicking is side skipping of he rim and the squeaking is caused by creeping or rubbing of the rim against the wheel. You never will get results unless you jack up the wheel and ighten the Jugs by opposites. First ighten one lug a little, then the op- posite one the same amount, then a third and it's opposite, and so on. Do not tighten one lug all the way and then take the next. This tightens the rim on one side and leaves the other free 10 move. Be sure you are using the right type of Jugs for the rims.

 e. My car seems to run fine on the level road for a short time, but as soon as I try to speed for even a, half mile it begins to misfire and it keeps that up until I slow down. I can't give it the gas. On hill it will run fine for a short way up and then it will start 10 misfire and maybe stop. Where would you look first for this trouble? A. I would first clean out the gaso- line tank and line, for I am almost sure there is an obstruction of some kind preventing the carburetor flot bowl from filling fast enough.

 Q. What is your honest opinion of the steam car? Is it economical and safe to drive and easy to repair7 How does it perform?
 A. AS a performer, think there is nothing like the steamer but the trouble is. the companies that make steamers have few service stations. If you un- derbtand steam cars you should get along well with one. The steamer of

Jack Base

Two small. wooden blocks about the size of bricks serve very well as a base for the jack, when it is necessary to use it on a muddy road. In this con- neetion it may be noted that the wheels should never be jaeked up on a grade, even the slope of a high crowned road, as the car is likely to fall off the SUD- port, with perhaps unfortunate conse- quenceS.

Leakina Pinn

A porcelain plug is held in position by retaining nut, which is packed with asbestos and a copper gasket or with asbestos alone. If a leak develops at this point it is due to loose packing and the retaining nut should be tight ened up, but not to excess, as this is apt to crack the porcelain

Mannefo Eailure

Irregular magneto action sometimes occurs because of end play in the ar mature bearings. The end motion of the armature may be sufficient to up- set the action of the contact breaker and render the time of firing uncer- tain and irregular. Inserting a fibre washer to take up the slack is the cor rect remedy.

Communication IrouhIa

It sometimes happens in the Ford car that the commutator contains so much grease as to make it impossible for the distributor arm to make contact As matter of fact, grease should not be used for commutator fabrication Cylinder oil is the correct lubricant for this location, and even this should be used sparingly. This applies to all cornmutators or ignition distributors.

TIMELY TIPS TO MOTORISTS
Tube VuIcarizinq

It often happens that in vulcanizing a tube, particularly in the open air, the rubber is burned. This may be obvi- atea by making a collar about four inches high to fit around the vulcan iZer, using wire gauge or several thick nesses of ordinary wire mosquito net ting, fastened together with couple of rivets or 2 wire run through. This should be placed over the vulcaniZer just before lighting the gasolene.

The First Place tn Look

When the car stops suddenly in the road the first place to look is in the gasolene tank. The veteran motorist does not need this advice, but the new conner should take it to heart. Look into the gasolene tank first.
