keep CAR CLEAN,

Proper washing and polishing Of q

an Essex deSer yesterday. In reality
the most beautiful body finish often
is ruined within a short time by neg
lect Of a few simple precautions.
The hnish OF the new Essex, for
instance. requires twenty-nine sepa-
rate operations. The early priming
coats are put on by means OF COM
pressed air, which forces the spe-
cial material used into every crevioe
and interstice. giving a splendid
foundation for future coats. Num-
erous coats are. OF course, still put
on by hand and brush in the old
fashioned way.
After each coat of fnish the bod
les go into ovens where the finish IL
baked on. On coming out OF the
ovens. each body is rubbed down by
hand. The result is a finish brilliant
and durable. almost impervious to
weather. washing. rubbing and mud.
But at the same time the finest nm

dry cloth When il is desired to
clean the car a stream OF water
should be used first. Care must be
taken 20 prevent too foreeful now Of
the water as this will drive the grit
into the finish. After the body Ia
thoroughly washed down. il should
be gone over with a soft sponge
soaked in water.
BY doing this the car will retain
its brilliance of finish almost indefn-
itely and the value of the car to the
owner is correspondingly increased. &"

AUTOISTS OFTEN DIG
OWN GRAVES In RUT

"Justi remembering that the slower
a wheel turns. thep more traction II
has. will enable many motorists
to avoid terrors OF the self-dug
.grav. when stuck in mud or sand"
Said a prominent dealer.
Nine owners out of ten, when
stuck in the mud, will put their
cacs IN low gear and then race
their engines for dear life. short
ening the life of both tire and
motor. With the wheels going at
such a pace, il is impossible to
get traction. even If straw or twigs
are placed beneath the treads. and
tire chains will slip around idly.
The effect is usuallny to dig a deep
hole and increase the difficulty.
The correct way is to pack cloth
or twigs beneath the wheels. use
low gear and only speed the motor
sufficiently to take the clutch with
out stalling. Above all things, don't
race the engine. Fine cars. like
the Hudson Super-Six. have the
power to extract themselves from
any difficulty, IL they are only
