AIRPLANE PRINCIPLE
MAKES PERFECT AUTO

1.-THE chief aim of builders of the
motor car, since the day when the
utility of the automobile was estab-
lished, has been to increase its range
of possibilities says F. |. Stafford, OF
the Stafford Auto company.
Through the years every manufac-
turer has concentrated his energies on
perfecting a car which will go over
the road with the least resistance.
with maximum comfort and greater
economy. 81
1.-THE introduction of aerotype en-
gineering and designing perhaps has
done more toward the attainment OF
that end than any other one step. 1t
is universally admitted that aerotype
construction, such as is found in the
Cole Aero Eight, eliminates more eff
GENTLY those elements of resistance
which stood in the way of motor car
performance than any feature brought
forth in a decade.
MANY principles involved in the
construction of aeroplanes are found
in the Cole Aero Eight. The frame
of this car, through the perfect b.a-
ance and coordination of parts accom-
plishes the same results as that of the
aircraft 1t is light. strong and fex-
ible The bulky weight is placed in

Car Bath Particular
Job If Done Right

Washing the car is not the casual
job some owners seem to imagine"
says Cliff Bevington. local auto dealer
and garage owner Mr.. Bevington
gave this information. ITO begin
with, the car should be washed inn
mediately after 1t has been dirtied. If
mud Is allowed to remain on the var
nished surface for more than a day,
it is difficult to eradicate it. For the
washing plain water should be used.
neither too hot nor too cold, about
so degrees Fahrenheit being the proper
temperature. A large sponge soaked
in clear water and then sopped
against the surface, SO that the water
trickles down, is best. Never turn a
stream of water at high pressure on
the body. This will grind particles
of sand and other grit into the var
nish, to the detriment Of the finish.
The idea is to float the mud or dirt
off the surface.
Soap should never be used on the
body except for removing grease or oil
spots. A soft piece of soft cloth, well
covered with CASTLE soapsuds, serves
very well to remove grease from the
panels. The hood should never be
washed while 1t is hot, as this will
result in discoloration. In cleaning
the radiator send a stream of water
from the rear instead of from the
front, to keep moisture out of the
mechanism.
In dying the body a clean channels
being done in straight lines. If spots
of tar or road oil are found on the
body, 1t is best to treat them with
salt butter or kerosene. The butter
softens the deposit so that it may
be wiped off easily. Kerosene should
be applied locally and wiped off with
in a minute.

Stutz, With Eddie Hearne
As Pilot, Slated for Race

Word has just come from California
that X. G.. Durant, son of w. A. Du-
rant, president of one of the largest
automobile corporations in the country
has purchased the famous No. 5 Stutz
racer and has contracted with Eddie
Hearne as the pilot. This announce
ment will undoubtedly result in the
return of the worlds champion Stutz
to the Indianapolis Liberty Sweep
stakes race, May 81.
1t is said by western racing enthu-
siasts that this famous old car will be
disguised under another name than
Stutz, but it will be the same No. 5
that made its debut on the Indiana
polls Motor Speedway in 1915. A little
tinkle of rumor comes hot on the heels
of the announced purchase of the
StutZ that an attempt will be made
to carry to victory on the radiator of
this car the name of we'll known
medium priced automobile, but at this
time this rumor has not been confirm
ed.
Local race officials for the 500-mile
Liberty Sweepstakes, May 81, at In
dianapolis, believe that Durant will
enter the revamped Stutz at Indiana
polls, as it has been intimated that
Hearne will campaign this car over
the country this season.
The Indianapolis officials naturally
feel that purse of $4,000 will DE
too tempting TO Eddie and his mount
to be overlooked. especially as Hearne
knows the Indianapolis course about
as well as any driver in the country.
With such car and with Hearne's
sure. heady driving, this combination
of old seasoned veterans will undoubt-
eddy offer stiff competition for those
who hope to take home the big end OF
the Indianapolis purse with ease.
