CARING FUR THE NE W AUT OMOB|LE

The average owner who receives a new car from the factory assumes that she vehicle is in the best possible shape, better than it will ever be again, and that he need not bother to give it the slightest attention until it has, so to speak, earned little care. This idea is about as wrong as any notion could be- Abuse the car in it's first thousand miles of service and 1t is likely to show the effects of the i'll treatment throughout it's career.
 Tn a piece of intricate and close fit ting machinery like the modern motor vehicle, there are many moving sur faces which have clearances of less than .0005 of an inch. Until these sur faces have rubbed together and worn away just slight film of their metal, they are likely to bind on the slightest occasion Excessive speed before the mechanism has been run in will pro- duce undue friction with its attendent heat and possible evil consequences.
 It frequently happens that in a fac tory where many scores of cars are being shipped each day, the man charged with the job of attending to the fabrication of each one, may, through oversight, skip one unit. He may fail to fill all the grease cups or may neglect to supply certain oil holes. The agency which receives the car may not go over it carefully enough to discover the omission and the result is that the new owner takes his car out on the road for a spin and injures

something on his trial trip The very first thing to do on receiving a new motor is to go carefully over the lubri- cation system to make sure that it is ready for business. If the transmits sion and rear axle housings are filled with grease remove it and substitute a gear oil which should be of light body for winter use and heavy for summer.
 Next on the list comes the battery. Tn these days when freight shipments are often delayed, the battery some times loses much of it's vitality before it reaches the owners hands, in spite of the fact that it left the factory in good shape. Test the battery with hydrometer to see that it is up to strength or if you cannot do it, be sure that the service station does so- See also that all the cells have the proper quantity of liquid in them.
 In the haste of getting the car to the customer the agent may have neglect ed to pump up the tires to the proper pressure, or one of them may have slow leak in it's valve, so that the pressure has been sadly depleted on the trip to it's new owner. Check up the pressure in all tires with a gauge. Having made these inspections, we may assume that the car is ready for the road. Very well. drive it carefully. Do not try to see how fast it can go, for remember that all through that in tricate mechanism, wherever moving parts come together, wearing in pro- cess is going on and excessive speed may cause serious damage Until all parts have worn in. it is difficult for the lubricant to get in between them and reduce friction, therefore be care ful. Do not race the engine. nor make it do more work than is necessary. Do not throttle down to low on high gear oT1r,, xr,s far you can go on high: change down to a lower gear and relieve the stiff

tons whenever a tire is to be pumped up.
 A.-The pump which you have is probably a very cheap one, because a well made and properly installed en- zine driven pump rarely gives trouble. pump driven from the forward end of the crankshaft. This pump is car ried in the tool box and requires but a minute to be placed in position in place of the starting crank. A good hand pump always should be carried. Get a cylinder, double acting one, which will cost from S5. 50 to $4.
 Q-I understand that there Is some advantage in having a racing type radiator aside from the looks. I fail to see any practical advantage. Is there any?
 A.=This type of radiator is actually more efficient because the air draft

engine DO not do stunts until the mechanism has lOosened up just a lit tie. If the engine smokes do not re-
 duce the oil level. The smoke is a sign that the lubricant is reaching the
 working surfaces.
 It will probably be found that the
 new car consumes more gasoline than had been expected from the agents talk This is natural. for the stiffness of the mechanism puts an extra load on the engine and calls for excess power which means fuel consumption. It will probably be found that the car buretor will have to be adjusted after the car has worked in, an excessively large opening being required by new engine.
 After the car has been in operation for week say, the starting and light
 ing system should be checked up. The charging rate may very possibly be wrong The owner who does little night driving will probably overcharge
 his battery, since he consumes little current for lights, while the reverse is | true of the driver who uses his car l frequently at night and little in the | daytime.
 After a weeks operation the owner should go over the whole car for loose parts. Spring clips may have stretched, l bolts may have loosened, nuts may need a little attention from the wrench. l The clutch of the new car needs par | ticularly careful handling. It will be stiff in action and it must not be 1 slipped. Do not keep your foot on the clutch pedal as you drive. Engage and
 disengage the clutch slowly and gently.
 The same applies to the gears If the gears do not seem to mesh easily at first, do not force them into place. Shift into any forward gear that you can without causing rasping. Run on slow for a while. if necessary, but above all avoid harsh gear changes.
 The finish of the car, the lustrous
 enamel and vanish, need very tender handling in the early months of their
 service. or their beauty may be perma- nently destroyed. When the car comes from the factory the finish is dry. but it has not set" it is still soft, and slight abrasions will injure it. Mud spots should be removed at once and with cold water poured on in gentle
 stream. A large sponge soaked with cold water and pressed out on the sur faces does admirably. If stream of
 water from a hose is used. the pressure should be low. After the car has been
 ruinng about a month it is a good plan
 to use a good body polish on the var
 nished surface, following the directions given with the preparation employed. The top and curtains should have a few attentions, a brisk brushing with a stiff brush once a week as need arises. After the first 400 miles change the engine oil whether you thing it needs 1 changing or not. After 400 miles you
 may have to change the throttle stop setting, so the engine will idle properly.

 There is pressure to expedite pro- ceedingS as much as possible. For that reason it was said today that if the committee. probably it you'd be allowed to go to tho convention with

 Senator Glass was busy with con- fercnCcs today. the purport of which was not disclosed. They appeared to have to do with the pla atform mat ters rather than candidates and 1t seemed probable that tEe men of I'm portance in the party councils were quite fully advised today as to what the president thought on questions to be solved and the extent to which his personal influence or that of his office might be expected 10 he felt in next weeks proceedings.

today that no decision had been reached and that Senator Walsh might be accepted as satisfactory. The general trend tonight seemed to be to put him forward for the con- vention chairmanship rather than for the head of the platform committee.
 Chairman Cummings and other na- tional committee officials discounted talk of an open anti-administration fight and protested vigorously against lobby gossip that President Wilson was trying to dictate either in regard to the candidate or the platform.
 "I am aware" said Mir. Cum

 president to communicate to the
 convention in any way, shape
 or form. l anticipate no VoIun-
 tary suggestion form him."
 He added. of course, there could be no restraint on the presidents friends in any communication they might care to establish with the White House though he said the whole attitude of the chief executive had been to let the convention work out it's own destiny.
 Senator Glass. who arrived last night from Washington as the com White House, also denied that the president would seek to control the deliberations here. The senator came to make a fight favorable to the administration. but if he brought any word of White House preference between candidates it did not show up on the surface in today's confer enceS.

He said lie favored d declaration in the platform 10 the effect that before the United States becomes member of the League of Nations il request other members to release any nation under their dominion that are capable of self government. Mr. Gerard said II would not be necessary to name such nations but il would nave the effect of giving freedom to Ireland.
 Mir. Gerard favored immediate peace and the ratification of the peace treaty with such reservations that would not nullify it's objects. The former ambassador expressed the opinion that the sentiment of the country was in favor of prohibition and he favored leaving the subject out of the platform.

 The George contest, the only one officially filed with the national com mittee. probably will be considered by subcommittee before final action is taken by the full committee.

 Senator Reed said here tonight that he had no statement to make regard ing his status as a delegate. He said his credentials were regular and would be filed with the national com mittee tomorrow and if they are re- jected he proposed to file them with the credentials committee of the con- vention when appointed. Further than this he had mapped out no pro- gram. the senator added
 Senator Reed said he could get all the proxies he wanted in the event his credentials were finally rejected. He did not agree with National Chair man Cummings that proxies were not permissibl in the convention.

They cited the Republican ticket and platform as encouraging from a Democratic point of view and believe that the brass tacks of politics will dictate McAdoo's nomination as the man who could be elected. They are shaping their present course, they admitted. in anticipation of a dead lock between Attorney General Pal mer, Governor Cox and the other prominent aspirants and a general swing to McAdoo at that point which would result in his nomination.
 Meanwhile, representative of oth- CT candidates have been busy map ping out their campaigns.
 Davis Gains Strength
 Neighborly considerations, it is said, are apt to play a part in the course of delegates from Pennsyl- vania, Ohio and West Virginia when the expected break up comes. Each state has a candidate in the field. Palmer from Pennsylvania, Cox from Ohio and John w. Davis from West Virginia. Should the early halloting make it apparent that the necessary two-thirds majority to nominate could not be obtained for Palmer or Cox, Davis supporters claimed today that he would inherit the Pennsylvania and Ohio delegations They antici- pated a general surge toward Davis under the impetus furnished by these powerful blocks of votes.
 Glass for McAdoo

There was nothing to indicate that he had i brought any message or suggestion on that subject from his conference with President Wilson.
