Monument to- George Washington Neglected Lonely Maryland
Curb Serapins Hurts Tires.

Did you ever notice ragged hole
about the size Of a silver dollar in
the rear tire OF a carr This little
gagged hole is the result OF care
lessly turning corners.
Many motorists swerve swiftly
around a corner without slsckening
speed. They fail te allow sufficient
leewsy between the car and the
curb in order TO clear the rear
wheel. When too sharp a corner Is
made the rear wheel wiz often Craze
the edge Of the curb or Climb Up on
IT. This peels of some Of the side
wall rubber.
Though little thought Of. this in
jury, according to Miller tire and
tube experts, is often the FIRST cause
Of a later side-wall blowout. The
facts of the case are that the fabric
sioe-wsll, having lost its rubber pro-
lection against the elements. quickly
deteriorates. II taken in time, the
repair Of such an fnjuT is very
simple.
The motorist may make a tenn
porsry repair by cleaning with ssso-
line, and then covering with q plss-
tic, self-vulcsnizing gum. When an
opportunity arises, the casing should
be taken to a surgeon for a per
manent repair.

READY TOSELL
Washington Agents Prepare
Handsome Salesrooms at
Dupont Circle.
IOPENINC IS ARRANGED
First Machine to Come
Overland from Home
Factory.
OPENING IS ARRANGED

+ Preparations practically have been
completed by the Walker Motor
Company for the formal reception
and debut here of the Lafayette
motor car-One of the better types
of cars which will appeal to the
discriminating buyer.
The handsome salesrooms at 1917
1919 Connecticut avenue, Just above
Dupont circle. have been completed.
The offices, which have been opened
temporarily in Room $50 Munsey
Building, will be moved there to-
morrow. Present plans call for the
formal opening of the salesrooms
Wednesday or Thursday
One of the new cars is expected
to arrive during the current week,
and will be driven here from the
indianapolis factory by r. U. Geibe,
secretary OF the Walker Motor Co.
From the time of the appearance of
! the hrst car regular deliveries will
| be made
The factory is a new one built es-
pecially for turning out the Lafay-
ette car. Practically every part OF
the machine will be turned out in
this factory. Before putting the ma
chimes on the market the manufac-
turers are subjecting them to very
severe road tests to make certain
that there is not one fault in the
construction. Three or four of the
| machines have been completed. and
! now are being used by the factory
in piling up mileage in the severe
tests to which they are to be sub
jected before finally presenting them
to the public for approval.
The service station for the new
car will be located temporarily at
the new salesrooms, but the local
company which will direct the sales
of the new machine have options on
several sites on which they will
erect a large service station for
handling the work on the Lafay-
cites.
The motor in the Lafayette was
designed by D. Mccall White. one
OF the foremost designers of inter-
nal combustion engines. He was the
first man to perfect the V-shaped
eight-cylinder motor, of which type
the Lafayette motor is one.

GAS.INCREASE
DURING APRIL
Rate of Consumption Also
Grows, Making Conser-
vation Necessary.

Gasoline supplies are increasing
nationally and on the Pacific Coast.
according to Bureau of Mines
figures and the American Petroleum
Institute, says a statement OF the
National Automobile Chamber Of
Commerce.
The bogey of shortage is being
dispeIled by the official reports
which show that during April. the
latest month for which there are
figures. production OF gasoline was
2,s2s,s31 gallons ahead of the de-
mand. Consumption was S,5Sl,sl2
gallons, whereas output was ll,42l,-
S43 gallons. Reserve stocks in
creased to 643,552,644 gallons, which
showed a considerable gain on the
March figure of 626.Ss3,O46 gallons
in reserve.
Conservation Needed.
Motorists need to continue a
careful conservation policy as the
rate of consumption increase dur
ing the past four months was 80
per cent, as against the rate OF
increase in production, which was
1874 per cent. This means that in

lam Albert White, however, makes
some reassuring statements on oil
in the New York Times OF July IL,
1920.
Mr.. White is the inventor of the
low pressure oil feeding system
which has been installed in 700
ships. He does not believe that
the increase of oil burning ships
will exhaust the supply of pc

White, 'and particularly its adop-

The answer is unQuestionably. Yes.

SUMMER SALES GOOD
Rail Difficulties Force Per-
sonal Trips to Motor
Factories.

Any idea of Stacked automobile
sales in this city during the sum-
mer days may be dispelled by talks
with local automobile dealers. There
is great demand for cars in the
District, and the dealers and their
| statesmen have little time for Vaca-
tionS.
In addition to being required to
stay on the job to handle the many
sales. ii is necessary for the agents
to go to the factories and bring the
cars over the road.
Owing to the difficulty of getting
shipments of cars here by freight.
it is necessary for the local firms to
send detachments to the factories to
bring the cars here quickly over the
road in order to keep up with the
great demand for cars, which are
now being viewed, and rightly, more
in the light of necessity than as
| pleasure.
J. E. Baker, better known as
| Jack" says he's so busy handling
| the sales of the Allen car and the
King "S," the first of which arrived
here this week, that he will be un-

RECORDBROKEN
BYTEMPLAR
Driven 992 Miles in 26 Hrs,
50 Min., Without Motor
Stopping.

Backed by a series of record
breaking stunts. attesting to its
sturdiness and durability, the
TempIar is being presented for the
inspection of Washington automo-
biIists in the handsomely fitted new
salesrooms at 1901 Fourteenth street
northwest.
The car is OF striking appearance
and attractive in design to the most
fastidious. 1t is of the better type
of cars, appealing to that class of
buyers who want the best and only
that.
Most recent on the records chalked
up in its favor is the famous ride
Of "CannonbalT' Baker from New
York to Chicago with a message
from Lieut.. Gen. Rullard, COM
msnder % the Department of the
East, to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the Central Depart
ment Of the army. Baker in the

of S92 miles in 26 hours and so

translated into terms of his every

take notice at a good cross-country
run hung up by stock toYfing car
over ordinary roads-and by a non
professional driyer-such a run as
was made by Walter C. Biddle, of
Toledo, Ohio, on July 16.
At 4:10 a. m. on that day Biddle
left Toledo for Dayton in a stock
Franklin touring car. He was back
in Toledo again at 3 p. m. of the
same day, having covered a total
distance of 340.4 miles in 10 hours
and so minutes. The actual run
ming time was 8 hours and 30 min
utes, which means that an average
speed of 40 miles an hour was main

sengers with him. including George

guine visionarIes scored at the
possibility of such record as that
just established.
Baker. at the concluson of the
trip, said he knew that he had cut
six hours off the record, but in ius-
tice to Templar. was compelled to
say that it did nothing to what 1t
might have done with good roads
While he said that he had been
over that route many times. he had
never experienced such terrible road
conditions as were hit on this par
ticular trip.

dragged down not only the first
prize in its class. but the sweep

OWNERS SERVICE DEPART
MENT.

O. Who makes the best wire
wheels for attachment to the Ford
car and how much does the COM
plete equipment cost?
A. If you will enclose a stamped
and addressed envelope a list OF
manufacturers of wire wheel equip
ment for Fords will be sent you.
Q. Would it be possible for
storage battery to fail If only one
cell was out of order? l have been
told that two cells of my battery
are all right, yet it does not func-
tion properly.
A. If one cell is completely dry II
may cause an open circuit and the
whole battery will fail. This trou-
Bile may be due to a broken jar.
Q. How can / clean the top OF
my car? / have been told that
gasolene is hard to use.
A. The top should be cleaned with
soap suds and water. Rub the suds
in well all over the top and wash
with clean water. Use good CASTLE
soap. Gasoline. kerosene and sim
liar liquids ruin the layer of rubber
in the top.
Q. | am having persistent trou-
Bile with my storage battery al
though l am careful to keep the
liquid up to the proper level. Do
you think the generator can be the
cause of the trouble?
A. The trouble probably lies in
the fact that your generator is not
set for the correct charging rate
for the particular service you de-
mand of the car. You may be driv-
ing a great deal at night, consum-
ing current for lighting. starting
often and the generator is not sup
plying enough current to keep the
battery up to the mark. Consult
the nearest service station for the
manufacturer of your battery.
