HAS GOOD ADVERTISING IDEA
How Librarian In Los Angeles Stimu.
lates Public Curiosity in Choice
Of New Reading.

The idea that everything should be
put to some good use, wherever this
Is possible, has been carried out by
the librarian of the Franklin high
school library and deposit station of
the Los Angeles public library, in util.
izing the covers that come on new
books direct from the publishers.
About two dozen of these gayly-colored
covers. having the appearance of small
posters, were placed in row along
the lower edge of the big bulletin board
in the main hall of the library, right
next to pictures taken from illustrated
newspaper supplements. The result
was that good deal of interest was
given the little exhibition of the
illustrative and advertising art, many
of the visitors studying the display for
the purpose Of making selections. In
fact the librarian states that the book.
cover poster row has been responsible
for increasing the amount of unas-
signed reading.

PRESERVE PAINT ON
SURFACE IN WASHING
Most Every Man Experiences
Trouble With First Car.
Great Care Must Be Exercised Dur.
Ing First Months, Owing to Time
Necessary for Varnish to
Harden-Use Best Soaps.

Most every man experiences consid-
erable trouble with the paint on his
first new car, due to the fact that it
was not properly taken care Of. Some,
however. after running the paint on
one or two cars, learn how to keep
the luster in the paint, but for the
benefit of those who still do not know
the secret the following Instructions
are given:
Owing to the time required for var
nish to harden, great care should he
exercised In washing the car during
the first few months In use.
!. Before using new sponges and
chamOis skins clean them thoroughly
with soap and water to remove sand
and shells.
?. Clean one panel at time. thor
oughly drying before cleaning the
next. Never wash the engine hood
while hot, and never use hot water
on any part of the car.
3. Mud should never be allowed to
dry upon a newly vanished surface.
Wash off all mud as soon as possible,
4. Use lots of water to clean your
car. A sponge, thoroughly saturated,
is much better than hose. Always
have sponge full of clean, fresh wa
ter and use no pressure when apply
ing.
3. Have two sponges-one for body.
hood, etc, the other for the running
gear. Keep sponge for body away
from grease.
9. In washing running gear use
soap solution made by dlssOlving In
pail Of water sufficient soap to make
good suds. Sop on to car With
sponge. Rinse Immediately with clear
water.
If necessary to use soap on body,
use only pure soap, such as imported
CASTLE, or the very best oil soaps
made for use on automobiles. There
must he no free alkali or acids in the
soap. as these will eat the surface of
the varnish.
