Sellers were by no means aggressive. while
the offerings we're absorbed by Liverpool and

LET CAR TALK,
LIBERTY POLICY
Confidence in Product Is
Requisite to Success,
Salesman Told.

An automobile selling policy that is
without a superior for candor and
straightforwardness is typified by the
sales slogan, Ride In it-drive it."
which many will recognize as being
used by those who sell Liberty motor
cars.
1T is the Liberty company's belief
that confidence in ones product is a
requisite to success. or In other words.
that one must beneve in his goods be-
fore he can make anyone else believe
In them,' says ]. E. Fields. Liberty
director of sales. Accordingly, every
factory man who actively engages I'm
selling Liberty cars is first made thor
'oughly acquainted with their advan-
tases. He must know every superior
feature and be wholly convinced of
Liberty goodness before he is permit
ted to represent the car.
The same policy applies to new
dealers. Many applications for terri
tory are received from dealers who
have had a ride in a Liberty car a
short time previously and been won
by the difference of its riding and
driving. II such Is not the case. no
time is lost in putting them behind
the wheel. because, II they are not
thoroughly convinced of Liberty su-
periority. nothing could more quickly
or forcibly impress them. In case
they already believe in the car, an.
other demonstration will make them
all the more able to convert prospec-
tive buyers.
The policy that is used so sue
ond dealers, proves just as effective
cessfully in selling to factory men
in convincing customers. Knowing
his car to be everything he claims
for II, the dealer has no hesitation
in permitting II to speak for itself.
II has already provided arguments
sufficiently powerful to influence
both the factory representative and
the dealer who enjoys the certainty
that what the car can do in per-
formance is far more impressive
than anything he might say about
IL in words. And so the prospective
buyer learns about the car from the
car itself, rather than by repeated
r-fllings OF super-heated atmos-
phere.
Naturally. such a policy calls for
a product whose goodness is out
standing. On that score, the we'll
known Liberty difference is perhaps
most apparent. for the car is built
from the viewpoint of the owner
driver, with emphasis on those fea-
lures with which he is most con-
cerned. and since the owners first
desire is for a good car. that Is the
Liberty's most pronounced charac-
teristic."
The Washington herald., 1919-03-30
KNOW YOUR ENGINE,
ALSO RUNNING GEAR
Give Weekly Oilins of Braking
System, Pedals to Bands.


1t has often been remarked that the
average car owner knows too much
about the motor and that this knowl-
edge tends to make him forget and
neglect the clutch, gear set and the
rest of the power transmission sys-
TEN. Certain 1t is that universals,
brakes, wheel bearings and many
other not easily accessible parts are
generally forgotten until something
goes wrong with them. The owner
does not wait for a bearing cap to
fall of before he fills the crank case
with oil, and similarly he should not
wait until there is play in the uni
versals before he gives it a supply
of grease and graphite. 1t is difficult
to keep the universals well lubica ted.
even when the housing is periodically
filed. Similarly there will be no buck
ing. due to end play in the propeller
shaft assembly or clutch IL the parts
are properly fabricated and kept so
from the start. Give a weekly oil
ing to the Joints in the braking system
from pedal to bands; repack the wheel
bearings four or FIVE times year,
after flushing out the bearings with
kerosene. Finally keep your eyes open
for special lubricating hints and try
them all, so the transmission system
will run just as sweetly after con-
tinued use as the engine does.

Few Stocks Establish New
High Levels While Some
Show Small Losses.
BY BROADAN WALL. ,

New York, March 2e.-In spite OF
heavy proht taking. excited by the
threat of Germany TO go back to
complete anarchy unless excused
from the consequences of the war.
the stock market was steady to-
day. Some of the leading speculs-
tive issues showed small ner losses.
but there were also some substsn-
tisl gains. Even in stocks where
selling was neavy the liquidation
was almost entirely professional. In
a few. notably United Drug, Gen.
eral Motors, Underwood Typewriter
and corn products. new high records
were established. Hide and leather,
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Stude-
baker. and all the food stocks
seemed to be particularly well
bought.
Buying OF the local fractions or
breaks such as are now in progress
persists. 1t is the theory of some OF
the bert investment bankers that ir
spite of the public excitement oveI
the fractions and their undeniably bad
plight, the city will be compelled tC
give an increase OF fares in order Il
save its own investment.
Talk Of a gigantic shipping merger
is current again and is based on tht
theory that the United States Gov
ernment will not only accept a res'
sonsble price for its ships, but vii
revise the shipping laws so as TO mak'
possible their operation at a profit
Good. but quiet buying of railroad
stocks is making its appearance or
the theory that the situation car
never grow worse.
A boom in gold and silver mining
stocks is developing on the New Yorl
curb, where issues that sold for a few
cents a share are now selling for a,

Inspect Winds;lield Nuts
When Overhauling Car

On many cars the windshield is sup
ported by steel arms which protrude
through the cowl and are fastened un-
derneath by a nut and lock nut.
Some times these nuts work loose
through vibration. with the result that
the Windshield is allowed to move
slightly. The first sign of this trouble
is seen in cracked finish in the vicinity
of the windshield supports. When the
owner makes his regular periodic in
spection for loose nuts and bolts these
windshield nuts should not be forgot

Use Good Quality Hose
And Examine for Leaks

When there is any suspicion that
the engine driven tire pump is forcing
oil through the hose, examine the end
Of the hose. Usually this hose has q
rubber lining. and IL oil is being pump
ed this rubber lining quickly becomes
soft. perhaps so much so that It will
not hold to the nipple. In cheap hose
1t is difficult to get the nipple in
again, even with the use of wire as
binding. the first operation of the
pump blowing the hose away from
its connection. The cure lies in getting
a good grade Of hose or in having the
pump piston and rings examined for
leakage.

DEPARTMENT.

Will you be kind enough to explain
through your valuable column what
the term ampere means? Harry Il.
Henderson.
The ampere is the unit of current
flow. 1t refers to the rate of flow OF
electricity that flows through the cir
cult. On the other hand the volt
refers to pressure, corresponding
roughly to the pressure or head OF
water flowing through a pipe.
Please tell me what types of clutches
are in general use at the present
time? Is the leather faced cone clutch
still the standard type?-Frank Nc
Ginness.
There are three types in general
use, cone. plate and disk clutches.
The cone clutch is no longer the pre-
dominating type. The disk clutch Is
used on more than half the models
this year. Disk clutches are of two
types, the dry disk and the disk rum
ming in oil.
l have been told that washing soda
is the best means of cleaning out scale
and other foreign matter from the
cooling system of the car. | should
think II would have a very bad effect
on the rubber hose connections, but
IL not will you please tell me what pro-
portion of soda to use for a water
system with a capacity Of five gal
Ions ?-Owner.
Washing soda is excellent for this
purpose and does no particular harm
to the rubber connection for the short
time it is kept in the system. Make
saturated solution; that is, dissolve
as much of the soda as the water will
take Put 1t in the system, run the
engine twenty minutes. let the soda
water stand for say forty minutes
more, then drain and flush out with
clear water.
Will you recommend a good body
polish OF the kind you squirt on from
some kind of a gun and that takes

There are a number of excellent prep
arations of this kind on the market.
and we don't care to recommend spe-
cific makes. Get one put out by a
well known concern from your acces-
sorry dealer and you will find it satis-
factory.

Change the Rear Gear

When 1t is desired to get more speed
into an old car, one Of the operations
necessary is to change the gear ratio
of the rear axle. Racing cars use

this change can be made in the ordi-
nary stock model by fitting a new diff
terential ring gear and driving pinion.
which can be obtained from the maker

con at noon yesterday at the High

of the school. The meeting and
luncheon was of the "get-together"
nature, as regular Rotary club meet
ings are not scheduled during the
summer months.
Before the luncheon was served,
John Beveridge, superintendent Of
schools, informed members that they
were about to get more to eat for
50 cents than they had ever had
before in their lives" They did.
Before the luncheon was half
over, it was moved and seconded
that Mr.. Beverage should change
places with John WEIGH, restaurant
man. Food in abundance was served
in several courses. and Mr.. Bevel =
idge even ventured to say that at
least cents was cleared on each
member served.
Principal Porter, of the High
School of Commerce, gave short
speech on the activities of the school
in its different branches, followed by
4 talk by Mr.. Beveridge, who de-
clared that the most important duty
of the school was to teach real citi-

daughter.
Thompson obtained a marriage IL
cense at the court house at 5 p. m.
Tuesday. He took Lillian to Father
Slime of St. Mary Magdelene's Cath
Ole church, but the father refused to

Rev. Mr.. Savidge was awakened at

appeared with Lillian and Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas A. Judge, Mrs. Judge
being Thompson's sister.
Il have known Thompson's family
for years, so when Thompson told
me that the party intended to start
in an automobile on a wedding trip
to Colorado, l believed him. l later
learned that they lied to me about
the trip and the girls age Rev. Mr.
Savidge said.
When Mrs. Schultz awoke yester-
day and discovered that Lillian
was gone, she aroused George
Schroeder, a returned sailor, who
was visiting at the Schultz
home. Schroeder fastened to the

station. When Schroeder tried to
restrain the girl-bride from boarding
an east-bound train, he met more
resistance than he could overcome,
and returned without results.
