automobile service men that now is
the time to give the car a thorough
inspection and take the necessary
measures to put 1t in hrst-class shape
for the summer use.
When il comes to oVerhauling a car
o. tuning II up many motorists are In
clined to overlook the cooling system.
This is a mistake, for there is nothing
more vital 10 eGlcient operation and
performances. At this time OF year ev-
cry car owner should give the cooling
system, including the radiator, water
jackets, hose and pump, q thorough
cleaning.
The best way to do this Is to drain
the water out of the car, then Ill up
the radiator with q weak SOLut10n or
soda and water. Having done this, Let
the engine run for ten minutes or so.
Then drain of this liquid and replace
it with pure water. Again let the en-
CINE run for a few minutes and again
drain the car. You will then be ready
to I'LL your radiator for regular use.
This is advantageous because IL
cleans out the radiator, water jackets,
hose and pump thoroughly, freeing
them from deposits, especially those
left by anti-freezing mixtures used
during the winter, which, if allowed
10 remain in the car, would probably
rot the hose and do other damage.
Taking this simple precaution not on
ly extends the life Of the car, but pre-
vents future trouble and increases eff /
fcieHcy.

NEW FILM HIT BY
WILLIAM DE MILE

William De Mile has handled a
delicate theme in a skillful and de-
Aightful manner, in his latest produc-
ton for Paramount, Midsummer
Madness" coming at the Magic City
Theatre, Friday, July Is.
Although the story is Of type en-
Cirely different from the producers
two most recent pictures. "The Prince
Chap" and Conrad in Quest Of His
Youth" it bears the same artistic
quality which has characterized all
pictures produced under Mr.. De
Miles direction
The story, which is based on Cos
mo Hamilton's latest novel, ellis
Friend and His Wife," Introduces two
young married friends. In one
family the wife, not receiving the
little attentions for which every
young wife yearns, is hungry for
romance, and in the other, the hus-
band is surfaited by his wife's atten-
tions, and begins to long for new con
quests. The insv: table romance be-
tween the romantic wife and the
Over-lOved husband develops when
the other husband and wife both hap
pen to be out Of town at the same
time, and affairs reach a critical
point. The miscreants awaken to a
full sense of the wrong they are do
ing to innocent people. After a
highly emotional climax, all ends
happily.
The cast is rich in screen talent and
includes Jack Holt, Conrad Nagel,
Lois Wilson, Lila Lee, Betty Fran
cisco and Claire Mcdowell.

DRIVERS CAN IMPROVE ROADS
Wear 70 Surface Can Be Prevented
by Driving Over Middle and Other
Less Used Parts.

Drivers can prevent wear to the
surfaces Of the roads and even i'm
prove their condition if instead Of
driving in one track or on the edge
Of the road they win drive over the
middle and other less used parts of
the road when traffic permits. The
one thing that is fatal above all
things to road surfaces, whether dirt
or paved, is driving In tracks, which
subjects one small part Of the road
surface to all the traffic and damage
that the whole road accommodates.
Trafic Should be evenly distributed
over the entire surface Of the road,
and a little thoughtfulness and care
Ia this respect on the part Of driy-
ers win do much to add to the per
manenea and excellence Of our road
