fellow who knows do the Job.
 The old and time-worn advice to have plenty of gas, plenty or air and plenty of oil is hard piece of advice to beat If the average auto driver would look to that every day of the year he would add weeks of life to the car and many more miles to the tires. No particular harm. rather than inconvenience Is caused when the gas supply gives out, but the mat ter of well inflated tires and perfect fabrication in all Instances Is one of importance. At another time I will give lesson on fabrication and tire imitation.
 Auto Answers
 Dear Larry: Will the ordinary auto tire stand moro pressure than is designated on the instructions which are generally seen on the side 1 wall of the tires?-G. B. ".
 Answer: You will probably find that with most tires you could over inflate without particular injury, but 1t is always best to follow the in- structions and you will have easier riding and less tire trouble. The possibility for blowouts is greater when the tire is inflated about the designated pressure, while the dam ger of rim cutting is always at hand when under-inflated. Some tires are factory tested to 30 pounds above usual pressure.
 Larry Stone: Would you recom- mend four-cylinder engine as prao- ticable7-H V. D.
 Answer: Although at the present time there Is an inclination to sixes and eights in pleasure automobiles the four cylinder car Is still holding its own and some of the highest makes today are fours. The major ity of the race cars are fours with | special valve construction. The -four" Is by no means passed.

(2) Is 1;05 good time for 6 race car for q half-mlle track 7-L l. K. Answer: CD Most dirt track drivers carry several sets of gears and change for a mile track from half mile track. Naturally a lower gear ratio Is used for the smaller track as the traction Is greater on the turns and more momentum can be gained on the longer straightaway of the mile track. (2) Yes, 1:05 Is fast time for a mile on dirt track, especially If made by an amateur.

William Allen White, in Judge
 There may be no moral govern ment of the universe; things may just happen. But they seem to happen rather regularly to the dis oomfiture of those who rely upon the Justification of their creed by fierce. The world is scared blue about the reds. The poor fish who think they can change things by force shouldn't worry any one. Their very belief in force indicates the low order of their intelligence. And the new order that men would establish who set store by assassin ation and wars would fall of it's own folly.

When Buying a Used Car


 Beware of the so-called "gyp" deal The condition of the car and engine should be investigated.
 Be sure what the vehicle is and whether 1t will operate.
 The car selected should be one made of a reputable manufacturer whose product can be relied upon.
 Do not be attracted by the beauty of the lines, the fine upholstery. bril- liant trimmings and pretty color. Carefully inspect the inside.
 Buy from a dealer of reputation who has the best reference to guard and protect. and a man who will be in business tomorrow as we'll as to- day, and whose guarantee of satisfac- tion means something.
