Do You Intend to
Paint the Old Boat?

Right now, with spring mere, ~
paint or not to paint is the leading
question with many motor car own
ers. Repainting- an automobile. as
far as serviceable job is concerned
requires less in the way OF profess
sional skill than patience. but In or
der to have presentable job. the
professional auto painter Is the one
to take the car to. Busy as the au-
tomobile factories al0, 1t is yet fact
that folks no longer consider 1t a
crime and Immediately look up your
credit rating upon seeing you in last
years car.
4 Much OF the preparation work to
refinishing cangbe done by the own
err. This will save the cost OF hav-
ing the car reprinted, because the
time of the auto finisher is valuable,
and he must charge as much for
preparing the, car for the paint as
for Painting it.
Those who have old cars that they
merely want to touch up a bit, and
do not desire to make them thing
OF beauty can paint them them
selves. The trend toward economy
expressed in this attitude finds ex-
preston also In q greater inclination
on the part OF the Individual owner
to do himself many Of the little
things for the doing Of which paid
workers were hired heretofore. y

My most thrilling auto ride, was
in a city near an army cantonement.
Two other fellows, and myself were
invited out to a private home FOR
Sunday dinner, and wishing to make
a good impression. we had our suits
pressed, our shoes shined and wore
the white military collars, which
were permitted to be worn only by
officers.
Not wanting to wait for the street
car. we decided to ride to town In
an army truck. We knew the driver
to be reckless. but we were anxious
to get to the big feed. On the way
to town a street car passed US, and
not wanting to be beaten by any
tram the truck driver raced the car
on the narrow road. We bumped
and tumbled around in the back OF
the truck, thinking that at any min
ute we would be thrown into the
ditch.
Finally we gained and drew up
on the wrong side of the road to
pass. This didn't trouble the driver.
however. for he stepped on her and
in a burst Of speed sailed across the
trick in front Of the car. But he
had not JUDGED the speed of the
car. for il struck the truck on the
side. turning us over in the ditch.
1t threw us all clear Of the truck.
into a mud hole but none of us was
hurt. After we picked ourselves up
and had taken an inventory OF our
appearances we decided that we
would be satisfied with army chow
until we were more presentabie. P.

Scraping Cylinders.

1t has long been customary to
clean gasolene engine cylinders with
long-ha ndled scraping tools, the cut
ting edges of which are hardened.
In scraping a cylinder in this man

piston in the uppermost position of

ing tool is likely to slip into the bore
of the cylinder and injure the smooth

proved is that weight and size are no longer
necessary to finest car quality.
Its 3O37 miles in so hours is world en-
durance record The test was official. Sup

stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was car driven at top speed
for so hours. The grind was equal to years
of road use. Yet the Essex showed no meas
urabe wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight, can
even attain mile-a-minute speed, much less
keep it up for so hours

still on American farms 27,ooo.oot

horses may be done away with and
