, conduct of affairs both in the city and
surrounding vicinity which the automo
bile brings about.
In the purchase of a used car the most
desirable qualities are endurance aud de-
Probability. To know that your car will
endure the cruellest road work or the
mildest pavement travel with equal de
pendability is to know that satisfaction
will follow your purchase. And used
ears today deliver these two qualities
more positively than ever before. The
man without a car is shackled TO the
cramped and overcrowded lines of trans
pOrtation suffering from both the loss Of
earning power and healthful recreation
at an expense greater than could possibly
accrue by the purchase Of an automobile.
Figure it out for yourself
Il +
indianapolis folk had their first oppor-
tunity to view the model 500 Cole Aero
Eight closed cars last week at the sales
room of the Lathrop- Mcfarland Company
on Capitol avenue.
This new model 500 is merely the FIVE
year evolution OF the original Cole Aero
Eight which was put OIL the market in
1918, all fundamental engineering fca-
lures having been retained, and the
changes Incorporated being purely in the
nature of refinement and superficial i'm
provements.
The braking system has been revised
to such degree that Cole Model 500
Aero Eight is said to be establishing new
brake efficiency records all over the coun-
try.
The clutch is extremely flexible and
eoit-actiOned, at the same time it Is said
to be extremely efficient and free from
all ordinary clutch troubles--shch al
grabbing or slipping.
The frame has been greatly strength
ened to give longevity to the car and to
protect it against squeaks and rattles.
The Cole. eight cylinder, "V' aviation
type engine has been retained bodily.
Acceleration. speed and economy tests
show. It is claimed, remarkable compare
tive value
BY concentrating on a single chassis
factory costs are held to the minimum,
and at the same time wide divergence
and variety in bodies enables the Cole
factory to supply its sales outlets with
a car for every buyers within.

In connection with the regular service
enjoyed by bort owners, Z. A. Bennett
manager. f. A. Bennett Motor Sales
Company. bort distributes, suggests the
following timely hints to increase the
enjoyment of winter driving:
with the zero months close upon us
it is n good plan 20 get a winter set on
the carburetor az soon as possible. The
colder weather necessitates a slightly diff
ferent carburetor adjustment to allow for
the greater density Of the gasoline so that
motorists may have the smooth perfOr-
ance Of motor that they enjoy during
summer months.
"Whle this is being looked after It is
also advisable to have the generator
charging rate increased somewhat to al
low for the harder pull in starting
caused by the CONCEALED grease in motor
base and bearings. BY setting the gen
orator charging rate up couple Of
points and reasonable care in starting,
the greater current consumption in
starting and longer use of lights should
be compensated for so that the battery
should contain a full charge at all times.
"a few simple rules if followed will
also help. The procedure in starting
should be to retard the spark, open the
throttle about a quarter, then before set
ting the starter in motion be sure to
throw out the clutch. This is not only
good safety measure but releases some
Of the load on the starter as all bearings
turn harder in cold weather. For the
first couple of revolutions pull out the
chOker to its full extent and as soon as
the motor starts, push it in about half
wayou until the motor becomes warm and
then be sure not to run with the choker
out any more than is positively neces-
sary as this practice thins the lubricat-
ing oil in the motor base
at is also advisable 10 have your
radiator filled with an alcohol mixture.
BY following these rules bort owners
should go through the entire winter
without depleted batteries or any other
winter annOyances experienced only by
those who do not observe these auto
mobile commandments"
Rubber is very quickly disintegratcd
by oil, and at the same time it has a
most unfortunate capillary affinity for
the oil. For this reason it is very i'm
Portant to keep oil away from the rubber
inSulatOrs that are used in connection
with the conductors and wires of all the
circuits OF the magnets. Although oil is
not a conductor of electricity it ruins
the insulation and the result is the
breakdown Of the insulation and short
circuits.
The Citizens Auto Supply Company
offers a new accessory to auto owners of
indianapolis in the AircO Ignition Gauge
Pearl Barnes, manager, refers to the
gauge as the watchdog of the ignition
system and claims that 1t lives up to its
name. THE Airco Ignition Gauge" said
Mr. Barnes is a compact instrument about
the size of a mans little finger. The
ga Ige enables any motOrist or other user
Of internal combustion engines to detect
Instantly fsvlty spark plugs and to To-
cate short circuits and leaks Of current
