II the small private garage Is to be
used during the winter any car owner
of experience will understand the
necessity for heating it. The cold
garage causes many Ills, besides the
obvious one of freezing up the radiator

more than enough damage and incon-

Most of the starting troubles so gen
orally complained of In winter may be
traced back to the cold garage A sud
den drop in temperature is bad for the
parts of the engine and for the finish
of the body, which are susceptible to
marked expansion and contraction
through such changes in temperature.
During the long nights of winter
great drops often occur. and garage
that is unheated subjects the car TO
unnecessary and dangerous tests.
Ice In the batteries is another recoG-

CAR KEPT CLEAN
WILL LIVE LONG
Some Excellent Suggestions
Given on How to Take Proper
Care of Finish"
FREQUENT WASHING IS BEST
varnish OF New Car is Benefited by
Use Of Clear Cold Water-Ciesn
Leather Upholstery With Piece
Of Wooien Cloth.

The engine of q car can be mis-
treated frequently before 1t begins TO
complain. but the finish can be mis-
no finish left to mstreat.r says VIII
liam H. Stewart. president of the
Stewart Automobile school.
''The lack OF washing and the essen
tial knowledge of not knowing how to
wnsh cur VIII go further towards
running the appearance than any other
thing. The varnish OF new car Is
benefited and hardened by washing
with clear cold water. but mud that is
allowed to dry upon the body takes
the oil from the varnlsh and leaves
the finish notified and streaky 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.
First Remove Dust
Begin by cleaning the top. Take a
good stiff brush and remove the dust.
then either sponge or use soft cloth
with warm water and pure soap. a
channels kept especially for the pur-
pose will tend to hasten the drying and
the top must not be folded until IL Is
thoroughly dry.
The upholstery. II of cloth, Is best
cleaned by sponging with water con-
tanning little salt and alcohol If of
leather wooien cloth dipped in clear
water to which a few drops of ammo
mia has been added is best.
I'm cleaning 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 1t is
best to do this and then let 1t stand
for a few minutes before going over it
again with the hose Then take soft
sponge and follow the hose over the
body. If certain portions are grease
spotted these should be washed sep
arately with pure water and CASTLE
soap. but except in thH one instance
soap of any kind should be avoided on
the body.
To Get at Grease.
The road oil and grease that collect
on the running gear require different
methods of removal and also other
tools. Special brushes vii! get at the
grease in inaccessible corners. In the
case of the wheel hubs, care should be
used to prevent water and grit work
ing into the bearings. The chamois
used on the body should never be used
on the running gear, separate cha
mois being kept for this one purpose.
A heavy accumulation should never be
taken Off by dusting. 1t should be
made to flow off with the hose. If you
wish to use a body polish beware of
the many inferior grades on the mar
ket. If any, you should use the very
best grade obtainable."
