GOVERNMENT SELLS ITS
 FORDS FOR 5000 EACH

The prediction of those in the best position to know, that automobile prices must constantly keep going up instead of down, during the next year or so was strikingly verified the other day when the United States govern ment sold large part of the Ford cars used in France to French sym dicate for $1 ,O00 each. Think of that-$1 ,000 each for sev. eral thousand secondhand Ford cars! It will take American manufactur. CTS a year or more to catch up with the demand for cars here at home.
 Increasing living expenses keep in- creasing wages.
 The demand for cars to be sent to Europe is backed by offers of prices two and three times as high as here tofore.
 These three facts not only indicate that automobile prices are sure to go higher, but in view of the tremendous demand for cars and because automo- bile prices have so far not advanced in proportion with the prices of all most everything else made and sold, it is likely that if you wait only a few months before buying you will have to pay much more for your car, and may have to pay anywhere from 9 to 50 per cent more for it.

INSPECT THE THREADS
 OF YOUR TIRES WEEKLY Y

The tread of each tire should be in- spected at least once each week. Cuts caused by unavoidable accidents or careless driving are the beginning of a worn out tire if not attended to. Vulcanize the cuts in the tread. Sand and gravel are enemies of rubber and precautions should be taken to pre- vent their being ground into the tire.
 Ever get a stone bruise on your foot when you were boy? It did not look as though it amounted to much on the outside, but it certainly did hurt a heap on the inside. A tire is often injured in the same way.
 For instance, the tire hits an ob- struction, such as a car track or a large stone, with such force that the inner fabric is bruised and weakened, perhaps torn, though on the outside of the casing there is little if any thing to show that it has been injured. Eventually it gives way.

LEARN PROPER SPEED
 OF ENGINE TO SHIFT

When a car is new and the owner is not accustomed to driving it there is often difficulty in shifting into in- termediate gear, either from low or high. This may be due to slight dragging of the clutch, or, more often, to the fact that the driver is not familiar with the speed of the motor at which the shifts should be made. A little practice is all that is needed. If rasping of the second gear can not be avoided and it is thought that dam age will be done to the gears, avoid shifting from first to second. Accel- crate little more and shift from first to high, and then at the first oppor- tunity consult the manager of the service station, who will give you a little instruction in correct shifting.

FLECKS OF CARBON
 MAY CAUSE LEAKS

Sometimes the owner of a car which has a detachable head engine after scraping out the carbon and get ting the motor to going again, finds that there is a water leak in the head and that the power plant does not TUT as well as before he operated upon it The reason for this is probably that particles of carbon have got into the stud holes or around the studs. Witf bits of carbon lodged here the cylin
 der head can not be properly tight, ened, with the result that there art leaks at this point. The remedy iS obvious.

READ BATTERY BEFORE
 REFILLING WITH WATER

In taking battery readings with the hydrometer, the operation should be performed before the distilled water is added to the solution, which will otherwise be diluted and wrong reading given; also, after the water has been put in it takes some time to mix with the acid. The water, being lighter, stays on top, and if the hy- drometer is used, say an hour after the water has been added, it will take up only weak solution, which is not the real one. .H

The Three-Flag record was bro ken by H. c. (Hap) Scherer of Ia coma, Washington, when he shaved off five hours and two minutes from the former record.
 The route extends from the Ca nadian border through Washing ton, Oregon and California, to Tia Juana, Mexico. Travelling from one country through the second, into the third is the source of the name given the tour.
 The route was made and record established back in 1915 by Can non-balp' Baker on an Indian mo- torcycle, his time being S1 hours 15 minutes. Two years later Roy Art ley cut the record to 72 hours 25 minutes on his Henderson. Last August Wells Bennett took his big Excelsior over the course to the time of 70 hours fiat.
 "Hap" Scherer cut the record to 64 hours 5S minutes. He rode a Sport Model, the new medium weight machine, a creation of the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Two features mark the feat. Scherer travelled almost one hundred miles farther than other record holders on account of road conditions and he travelled this 1716 miles at an av- craze, day and night, of 26.4 miles per hour.

SIMPLE SOLUTION WILL
 CLEAN YOUR TOOLS BEST

Washing soda, kerosene and plain soap and water should be the clean ing agents used by the car owners for cleaning parts, tools, etc., about the garage. Gasoline is not as good as these others, and it costs consid- erably more. For taking grease spots out of clothing, some of the inflam- mable fluids now on the market are better than our present grades of gasoline.

OIL FOR SMALL PARTS

The brake mechanism seldom gets the fabrication it deserves. Oil is re- quired on the. pins supporting the brake shoes, and upon the bearing points of the cams or toggle mecha- nism which actuates the brakes. These parts usually depend fer lubri- cation on the hand oil can. Beginning at the operating lever, every joint in the brake rod needs occasional oilinP as do the bearings of the compensat- ing shaft.

CLUTCH LUBRICATI0N

One of the most commonly neglect ed parts of the car, so far as lubrica- tion is concerned, is the clutch operat- ing mechanism. In the cast of disk clutches running in oil the lubrica- ton of the thrust collar and the lever operating it is automatic. But witt clutches that do not operate in bat

SWITCH TIRES AND
 INCREASE MILEAGE

For the man who wants to get max imum mileage from his tires, the habit of using a spare tire to afford regular changes, beginning at the right front and progressing around the car, is a valuable one to form. In this way each tire nets a weeks rest in four, during which time it should be gone over carefully and have any cuts and abrasions vulcan iZed.

MUFFLER EXPLOSIONS
 HAVE STORY TO TELL

Explosions in the muffler are caused by the presence of a fuel charge not ignited during the previ- ous stroke of the engine. If these explosions are frequent there is a basic cause, which will be either too rich a mixture or some trouble in the electrical system. Muffler explo- sions, therefore, must be taken as a symptom of some deeper trouble which should be immediately elimi- mated.

DON'T BE SKIMPY IN
 PLANNING THE GARAGE

In planning the home garage, re- member that for single car the minimum floor space will be 12 feet by 20 feet if you purpose doing any work on the vehicle in its shelter. Also these dimensions do not al- low room for either work bench or for storage space; they are simply the irreducible minimum for the man who intends to take care of his car.

quire oiling by hand. The service of these parts is exacting and frequent fabrication of the ball thrust bearing and of the end of the lever which actuates it is necessary. Further more, the bearing of the clutch pedal and the pins which secure the clutc operating linkage should be frequent ly fabricated.

SOOT IN DISTRIBUTOR
 WILL CAUSE TROUBLE

Car owners should not forget that one part of the battery system which needs attention is the distributor head. When soot forms on this part it often enables the current to pass across from one terminal to another, with pre-ignition as result. The track of the distributor head should be kept clean and be touched up from time to time with a kerosene soaked rag. This will prevent its becoming dirty and will keep the motor but ton from ticking and cutting.

general railway strike has been declared
throughout Austria. The strikers in

have as yet taken no action on the
question of ceasing work.
Concessions made by the railway men
have resulted in the movement of few

yesterday, Notwithstanding an agree

moving.
