Mud Allowed to- Dry
on Auto Body Makes
Polish Vanish Easily
Dirt is Enemy to Body Lustre
and Cold Water Frequently
Applied is One of Best Rem
edies for Keeping Sheen.

The engine in q car can be mis-.
treated frequently before II begins to
complain, but the finish can be mis-
treated once or twice-then there is
no finish left to mistreat. The lack OF
washing and the essential knowledge
OF not knowing how to wash a car
will go far toward running the appaar-
ance. The varnish of a new car is
benefited and hardened by washing
with clear, cold water, but mud that is
allowed to dry upon the body takes
tho oil from the varnish and leaves
the finish blotted and strealy. Dirt
is not the only enemy, for gases from
the garage and even the atmosphere
of some towns attack the finish of the
car that Is not frequently washed.
Begin with cleaning the top. Take a
good stiff brush and remove the dust,
then either sponge it or use n soft
cloth with warm water and pure soap.
A chamois kept especially for the
purpose will tend to hasten the dry
ing, and the top must not be folded
until 1t is thoroughly dry.
The upholstery. If cloth, is best
cleaned by sponging with water con-
tanning a little salt and alcohol. II
OF leather, a woolen cloth dipped in
clear water to which n few drops of
ammonia has been added is best.
In cleaing the body be sure to re-
move the nozzle of the hose and flow
the water over every part of the body.
This will serve to wash off most of
the dust and also loosen the mud. In
cases where the car is very dirty it
is best to do this and let it stand for
n few minutes before going over again
with the hose. Then take a soft
sponge and follow the hose over body.
II certain portions are grease-spotted
these should be washed separately
with pure water and CASTLE soap-but
except in this one instance soap of any
kind should be avoided on the body.
The road oil and grease that collects
on the running gear require different
methods of removal and also other
tools. Special brushes will get at the
grease in inaccessible corners. In the
case OF the wheel hubs care should
be used to prevent water and grit
working into the bearings. The cham
ois used on the body should never be
used on the running gear, separate
chamois being kept for this purpose.
A heavy accumulation should never
be taken off by busting. 1t should be
made to flow with the hose.

EXAMINE AUTO OFTEN
AND CUT DOWN BILLS

"Motor car owners ccld very easily
cut down repair bills If they would ac-
CO slonally examine the various me-
chanical units In their car" saye Rudy
Tannler, repair man for the Western
Auto Co. local bort agents.
'It does not take much time, nog'
for that matter any great amount of
mechanical knowledge to tighten a
bolt here and there, and in the long
run this may save a serious repair
bill. There are many ways in which
owners could operate their cars at a
great deal lower expense simply by
these little acts"

One Factory Output
of Flivver Tires is
10000 for Each Day
iloa-Skid Rnbbers for Rear
Wheels Of Henry Size are Be-
inr Produced in New Unit Of
FireStonc Akron Plant.

/ Daily production of 1G roo nneu.
rietic t'reg Of the tread wheel flivver
si"o- with pon-slcid tread, is task
eet for cna of the recently complofed
prits of the Firestone factory at Ak
TGp. O.
The annual production viii be ap-
proximately 4,500,O00. If set up as
boys rolling them for hoops would
set them up, these tires would form
band around the world.
For the production of this number
OF tires the Firestone company has
provided not only separate factory
building. 1t has provided also a spe-
cial cotton mill and a special organi-
zation, from offices to comDounding
room. During the working day man
agement and workers think nothing
but 1-2 inch tires. The investment
required was s7,00O,O0O.
More than half the $500 900 passen-
ger cars now in operation in the
United States are of the small car
type. The Firestone directors de-
cided that this great majority are de-
serving of special consideration
Therefore. even before the United
States went into war with Germany.
they decided upon this special fac
tory unit.
When the war came the big Biuld-
ing had been erected, but Uncle Sam
needed dirigibles and 1t was given
over to their manufacture with the
signing of the armistice it was turned
back to its original purpose. install
lation of machinery required many
months and it reached major produc-
ton only last month.
With the idea of offering extreme
values in small-sized tires, a quality
with quantity ideal has governed in
he organization of this time-making
init.
Production is on the starlight line"
basis. Crude rubber, cotton fabric
md pigments coming into the build
ng constantly move forward, never
pack until the finished tire results.
Conveyors. large and small. carry
| never ending supply of materials to
he workers. each OF whom has a
highly specialized task.
Four new tire-building machines. |
by Firestone engineers, are |
n operation for the first time in the |
ime manufacturing industry. Each |
# these machines makes the carcasses |
f so tires an hour. This is twice the |
lumber wrapped in the same time by |
he old two-men machines.
