a friend. one afternoon. out on the north side in Chicago and saw the Cubs play the Giants It was a great game. And the way the Giants worked to win reminded me of our pluggers down in Massachusetts.
 That afternoon the Cubs started the festivities by whaling out four runs in the first inning. The Giants came back with four in the second. Then the Cubs forged ahead in the next frame. Only to be caught by the New Workers in the fourth.
 And so it see-sawed through the game until in the tenth. the men of McGraw got busy and ended the contest by driving in seven runs. They never quit-starting out under handicap which would defeat the average team, they kept plugging away until they finally emerged victorious
 And that is what we must do during the next six months. The greater the difficulties. the harder we must work. We must plug hard sr than ever. Then when the end ei the year rolls round. with what a feeling of satisfaction we all will enter into the holiday festivities"

THREE HUNDRED
 MD FORESTS JET r FREE CREDITS

More than three hundred motor ists have taken advantage to date of the free offer of the Titan Battery Company, which has issued a credit slip for $5 to apply on a future bat tery purchase to every car owner driving up to their establishment for free service. "The plan has worked splendidly," said Marshall A. Moody, when asked to what extent motorists had responded. It simply goes to show that car owners realize that bat teries are not made to last for ever. and that sometime in the future, if not now, they will need a battery. This s credit goes long way in paying for battery, especially since
 our battery prices have undergone
 decided cut. The credit applies to
 our reduced prices. Prices have not
 been changed to allow for this gift
 to the motorist, but the credit is a further inducement to the car owner to purchase a battery of the high calibre that Titan is. We have cases
 every day where Titan batteries have gone two, three, four and five weeks
 without the addition of water and | in servicing these batteries we have found that not a drop of water 1s
 needed. This means that the battery has a reserve that is not usually l IOunQ III pdtleIicS OI any piA NV. >~oiA sidering the heat and evaporation ol
 moisture, it is generally conceded that batteries ought to be given water every week during the summer. Il
 is just one more evidence that Titar
 batteries are built as fine and sub
 stantial as battery engineers knov
 how to make batteries, and the guar.
 antee which we give assures abso- lute satisfaction to the car owner Tn this guarantee we simply state that if the battery does not render full and complete satisfaction for Is months, we wiu take it out ant I give the car owner new battery l free.

 have been kept busy taking care O

M|LNER RESIGNS CADILLAC P0ST I, JOINS COLLINS

DETROIT. July 23.-tSpeciaD--W. R. Milner. body engineer of the Ca dillac Motor Car company, has re- signed to join the engineering staff of R. H. Collins, who recently with drew as president and general man ager of the Cadillac Motor Car com pany, to build a high grade automo- bile bearing his own name.
 Mir .Milner has returned to his old office in the former Cadillac main plant. recently purchased by MT. Col lins.
 Starting in the automobile business on leaving school. MT. Milner first engaged in the retail trade and joined the engineering department of the Studebaker in 1912, specializing in motor and chassis design.
 He Joined the Marmon staff a year later. and during his six years serv- ice there filled the post of body en- gineer and designer. and also super vised factory production from an en- gineering standpoint. He designed the Marmon Al and the popular Mar mon 34. the latter model being still in production.

JEFFERSON SAYS
 HARD PLUGGING
 |S NECESSARY

Charles Stromberg has just re- ceivd a letter from the Apperson Brothers Automobile company which is interesting enough to the average automobile owner to publish. The letter follows:
 "The other day we visited our branch store down in Boston. We went there because this has been one of our best points for business during the past three months. And We found the reason.
 Everybody was working-working literally from early morning until midnight. They were plugging away harder even than Dempsey plugged the Frenchman from overseas.
 "On the morning we chanced to be there we found upon the desk of each employe of the branch slip of paper upon which was typed the following:
 If you strike a thorn or rose Keep a-going. If it halls or if it snows,
 Keep a-going,
 Amt no use to sit and whine When the fish ain't on the line Bait your hook and keep on trying Keep a-going.' That verse typifies the spirit of our men in Boston. The more resis- tance they meet. the harder they | work. As a result they are accom- plishing things. They overcome their obstacles and find great satisfaction in so doing.

Here's Some Good
 Information For
 Buick Car OIuners

Jack Sylvia sends in clipping from the Buick Bulletin. which con- tains some items especially for Buick owners. Here they are:
 This is the busy season of the year in the motor car world. Not only is the automobile pressed harder during the day in helping it's owner carry out his business duties with promptness, but in the evening and over week-ends it serves the family in seeking respite from the heat and relief in the open country and at the shores.
 'So at this time we wish to sug- gest to owners that it is advisable not to neglect the care of their cars but to pay especial attention to the fabrication of working parts and to the supply of water in the cooling system. Mileage very easily accu- mulates and there should be no ten- dency to postpone the attention the car deserves.
 During the warm weather oil should be drained from the motor crank case and replaced with fresh oil regularly. This is necessary be- cause the car is usually driven more at this time of the year.
 Tt is not advisable to try to use

PRICE STABILITY
 MARKS DECLINE
 OF UNCERTAINTY

'Tn the increased sales activity which is being reported by Packard distributors and dealers throughout tn ecountry, is found conclusive proof of the restoration of public confluence In the stability of present day auto mobile pfices," says Harry Smith of Smith Vincent company, local Pack ard distributors.
 Generally speaking. July 1, 1921. marked the close of long tedious period of price uncertainty. Now that the stabilized prices are universally acknowledged, those who have de- layed buying for fear of a price re- duction are entering the market. de- termined to make their purchases quickly so as to have the services of car for the summer months. Although Packard is producing almost 10 per cent more cars and trucks this month than were pro- duced in July of last year, still great CT production schedules are being planned to meet the inevitable de-
 mand occasioned by the revised l brNces."

too heavy an oil in the transmission. A good grade steam cylinder oil should be used, keeping the trans mission case filled to the level of the opening at all times. This insures proper fabrication of the universal Joint, which is virtually an integral part of the transmission. When the transmission is supplied with a good grade of oil, there is a flow of oil from the transmission case through the bearings to the universal joint and back to the transmission case.
 Tt is well to see that the rear axle is properly fabricated at all times. The differential housing should be kept filled to the opening with good steam cylinder oil.
 The steam cylinder oil used in both the transmission and the rear axle should be a high grade mineral oil. It is better for efficient lubri- cation in such instances than most of the so-called Gear greases."
 The oil supplied the motor should be a high grade, medium heavy. mineral oil. This oil should be used exclusively in the motor lubricating system, for valve rocker arms, dis tributor and generator bearings, spring seats, king bolts, and for small joints not otherwise provided with fabrication, such as spark and throttle rods. brake rods. and the like.
 The grease used for cups during warm weather should be a high grade grease consisting of homo geneous mixture of mineral oil and pure lime soap. It should be free from acids and other adulterants, of a soft nature, yet have a sufficiently high melting point to prevent free flowing when, warm. The lubrica- ton of tie rod bolts, starter sliding gear, brake shaft, brake camshafts steering connecting rod and wheel hubs should be attended to regularly
