Mark Sullivan writes in the Worlds

o. As to at least one who observed
President Harding read his message to
congress from, the press gallery, his
most vivid recollection will be Of the
little son of Republican member in
the fifth row, who, across the backs
Of four seats, improvised an acquain-
lance; and then, having exchanged
treaties of amity and commerce
through mysterious signals inpercept-
ible to older eyes, slipped away from
the guardianship of their respective
parents, and by the aid Of a cautious
and ingratiating diplomacy, maneuv-
cred their way past dozen elders
preoccupied with exalted matters of
state, to the ends of the rows of seats.
There, in the protective obscurity pro-
vided by the cavern-like depths Of the
aisle, they produced roundish gilded
button not so small but what unsat-
lated imaginations could piece it out
into marble whose defects Of ro-
tundity were fortuitously and admir-
ably corrected by the slight decline in
the floor Of the aisle. With this equip
ment they extemporized delectable
game, which they played for an hour
under great handicaps and at con-
tinuous and imminent risk of awful
catastrophe, in happy unconcern Of the
sonorous words. about the destiny Of

GIMME A QUART
BY j. ii. YEOMANS.

'Gimme quart of oil" ninety nine of 'em say when
they drive up for gas, and most of the time the hun
dredth says the same-very very seldom does the
gas man hear a trade when he is dispensing the
old light, heavy medium.
Once in while John Motorist will lean out of his bus
and ask for quart of So and So Oil mainly be-
he and the man who sells il met time in a
smoking eat lunch in the same ptomane The
road man for So and So Oil filed Johns ear with So
and So propaganda until John felt like paying taxes
two three automobiles that he night get
of the advantages of this perfect lubricant The
So and So tipped John off to inside dope as
to the ingredients n everythng-real inside stuff that
every one didn't know-couldnt tell 'em all how good
it was-they might the market and then there
wouldn't be any real fabrication for the rest of the public
The motorist doesn't buy oil ntelgently rule,
simply because he hasn't had opportunity to learn lubr
cants their properties and results of the various tests
necessary to determine lubricating values.
1t is generally recognized that there is real need for
dependable method methods of Distinguishing
between good and bad fabrication
There tess-the gravity, FASH cold /viscosty and
color tests which determine to degree the properties
of lubrcang oils and which considered by real deep
oil authorities to be tests of the simpler sort although
they code to the of motorists.
When your motoris thinks he has the real information
these tests other oil authorities along and take
the wind out of his sails by emphatcay stating that
lubrcang efficiency and oil quality without question
chemical matter, and any specifications seeking to limit
quality and fix suitability and uniformity must repose
upon strictly chemical or physcochemical basis.
The advent of the internal combustion engine has intro
duced and important elements in machine fabrication
The days when used to take flat stick and any
old axle grease and ubrcate the old buggy past and
you would be regular ubricator and keep out of
trouble you had better be scientific commune with
who is find out from authority what the
various oils do for your motor find out the of an
oil that is thoroughly good and stick to it. regardless of
price and regardless of the trouble required to get it.

DODGE SEDAN|S
MUCH IMPROVED.
IN BODY LINES
Disc Wheels and Cord Tires Are
Other Attractive Features Of
New Model.

Disc wheels. cord tires. the latest
custom windows and straight sweep
ing body lines are some of the fea'
lures of Dodge Brothers improved
sedan, which is now attracting much
attention at the salesrooms of the
Semmes Motor Company, Dodge
Brothers dealer here.
In this unusually attractive car
Dodge Brothers seem to have consid.
cred the motorists every desire in
design and In comfort features. Clean
ly chiseled body lines, which flow
squarely backward from the cowl,
strike the observer with their simple
beauty. The windows are squarecut
In design and further enhance the
straight, graceful silhouette of the
body. Considerably lower, the whole
ensemble in its outward appearance
shows dignity and harmony of design.
The disc wheels are done in black
enamel with cream stripe and hide
from view the springs and other un-
derneath parts. The disc wheels may

lily cleaned. The brilliant luster of
the sedan's exterior finish is familiar

tor cars.
In the interior appointments, the
sedan leaves little 10 be desired. Dell.
cately striped mohair velvet Is used
In upholstering the wide. commodi.
Gus rear seat. In front Is weep.
wide, solid seat with rounded sides,
also trimmed in the striped material.
The four doors, which permit easy
entrance and exit from any part of
the sedan, are upholstered with plain
gray mohair velvet in a soft fawn-
gray. Combined with the heavily
nickedel handles by which the win
dows are easily raised or lowered,
this adds a richness OF tone which
can hardly be adequately described.
The windows in the doors and body
are garnished with natural black
walnut and are of polished plate
glass. The body of the car is equipped
with Yale locks. affording additional
protection against theft and insuring
the safekeeping OF bundles and other
articles when shopping. Handy side
pockets, arm rests and windshield
cleaner are other conveniences of the
improved Dodge Brothers sedan.
Other notable refinenients are
weather strips inside the doors, as
an extra protection in unpleasant
weather, anti-rattlers on the win
dows and a body heater connected
with the exhaust.

EASE IN RIDING
IS GOAL Of BEST
AUTOENG|NEERS
Cole Experts Strive for New
Comforts to Make Motor
ing Attractive.

A man may wear shoes that pinch
his feet or sit in an uncomfortable
chair, or sleep on a bed that sags In
the middle. but when he climbs into
an automobile nothing but the abso.
lutte maximum of comfort will satisfy
him.
He demands that nothing shall in
tarfere with that comfort. When he
becomes a motorist all jolts. jars. and
vibrations must be abolished, and
when he goes to buy a motor car that
standard OF luxury is what he is look
ing for.
To meet his requirement the best
engineers have been working for a
quarter OF a century.
The only five possible ways OF put.
ting smooth riding quality into a
motor car are: Better roads, better
tires, better springs. bettsr shock alb
sorbers, and better upholstering.
The Cole Motor Car Company, Of
Indianapolis, recognizes this fact and
has been working accordingly.
]. J. Cole was one Of the first sub
scribers to the Lincoln Highway and
was q good road advocate long before
he was ever in the automobile bust
ness. Since his advent into the auto
mobile industry he has been a con-
slant advocate Of putting the utmost
riding comfort into his product. Here
is his formula for making a smooth
riding car:
Obtain the best possible brand OF
cord tires and get them big enough
that you can run them at around fifty
TO sixty pounds pressure. A tire in
flated to seventy or eighty pounds IL
little better in riding quality than the
old solid tire. Get your springs right.
What you want is long. soft action
spring to muffle the road shock and
keep IL off the carbody and the
passengers--there is no more delicate
or important phase OF motor car engi.
neering than the science OF spring
Put deep, fine springs under your
and stuff IL generously.
TIL, heaviest passenger on the worst
bump should never be able
to feel the hard under support OF your
cushions.
And then for good measure put the
best shock absorbers you can find onto
your car as regular equipment.

TRY THIS TO SAVE
YOUR SMALL DRILLS

The car owner who carries out nj,
own repairs has often experienced the
difficulty Of drilling through small
metal parts. such as spark and throt.
tie control rods, etc. because of tho
tendency to bend Of the small drills
used for this work. This may be op.
waited by drilling q hole through a
piece Of one-inch board and placing
the latter against the work. Tins
board In place on the drill will hold
the latter true and steady regardless
OF pressure, and Will permit the work
to be done In quicker time than D/ordi-
narily.
