WHAT THE NEW CAR WILL NEED

There will be thousands Of new mo-
florists in the next few months and
when they get their cars they will be
inclined to think about the little things
they need which the car manufacturer
did not supply. The modern car needs
very little to satisfy the average driv-
er, but there are certain appurtenances
which ought to be part of every car
before the owner gets it. Since the
manufacturer doesn't supply these nee
essary items, it is up to the owner
to get them right away.
The first thing a car owner should
attend to is insurance. This should
be done before he drives the car away
from the dealer. If you are a first
time owner and have had little it any
driving experience, you should. without
hesitation, get full coverage for liabil-
ity, property damage, collision, fire
and theft. ! wouldn't accept car
out this coverage. If you haven't the
money or think the cost too high, don't
drive the car. I know ever so many
persons who have lost law suits due
to accidents in the first week of driv-
ing. Even If you are an expert driver
with years of experience you cannot
be certain that a child will not run in
front of your car before you have time
to wink your eye. It is not always
the driver that is at fault; often it is
the pedestrian, but you need protection
in either case. You can save a little
on your insurance by buying fire ex-
tinguisher. but the saving is very small.
indeed. You can, however, make sub
stantial saving by fitting lock ap-
proved by the underwriters. Some
owners buy the cheapest approved lock
just to get the discount in premium,
others buy the lock because they really
want to safeguard their cars. Bear in
mind that your theft insurance is not
payable at face value year after.
since the depreciation is taken into
account. I mention this because some
owners actually offer inducements to
the car thief in the expectation that
the full amount Of the policy will be
paid. Another important matter in
connection with insurance is that you
do not collect Immediately. but must

Union printers in Gadsden, La, have

as their reason for the reduction the

standpoint, and the formation of a

wait. say 80 days, which means you
are without car for that period.
But aside from insurance, the new
car owners need other things. A spare
tire and tube comes first to mind.
Four new tires on a car will last quite
a while so that the spare is carried
simply for emergency. You may not
use the spare tire for six months or
year. In the meantime, if it is allow
ed to remain on the rear Of the car
exposed to sun and rain, it will so de-
teriorate that it may not last more
than 1900 miles. Get tire cover or
use tire paint. It makes the car look
better as well as offering sound pro-
lection against spare tire dcprecia-
ton.
Though the rear tires are usually
non -skids, they do not insure perfect
traction and freedom from side slip
ping on wet and muddy roads. You
must use tire chains and since the
chains must be used, why not get them
Immediately? While you are about it
find a definite place for these chains.
which come in bag, and use that
space for nothing else. You will need
hydrometer to make battery tests
and also to squirt in the water.
In some states the car owner is re-
quired to mount rear-view mirror.
The accessory is valuable and ought to
be used by every motorist. For tour
ing and enclosed cars the inside mir
rors will be found better than the
fender or windshield types. The new
ones are mounted inside the car and
show the whole width of road in the
rear.
A bumper is worth while accessory
even though you carry insurance. Some
policies have $50 deductable clause
which means you get nothing if the
damage is under $50. Owners of such
policies should certainly fit bumpers
and save the expense Of couple OF
tenders during the year, perhaps a
gasoline tank and lamp or two, not
to mention radiator repairs. All these
are common troubles experienced by
new drivers.
A new car owner is most peculiar
individual. He reminds me somewhat
of small boy with toy The boy
plays with the toy for a few weeks
and then gets tired of it and wants
something else. The motorist. for the
first few months, keeps his car i'm
maculate. But then his interest in
the car wanes. keeping it clean becomes
hardship and very soon less and less
is done to keep up the new appear
ance. Just keep thinking of the
amount of money you have tied up in
the car and how car depreciation can
be reduced by consistent care. can

takes care of that car as he would

Better Conditions
in America Made
by Automobile

Twenty five years ago there were
in America only four automobiles.
One of these was in circus, while
another was on exhibition as me-
chanical freak.
Today there are 100000 auto
mobiles in use in America. Eight
hundred and fifty thousand OF these
are trucks.
Iowa and Nebraska have an auto
mobile for every six persons. IN any
given Sunday the whole population
could go joy riding.
There is one car in the United
States for every IA persons. The
rest of the world has to worry with
one car for every $3.50.
These stupendous figures kindle
the Imagination. They are the mani
festo Of social and economic rev
olution.
First of all they mean the invest
ment of billions of dollars in new
industry: thus shifting the economic
center of gravity to new point. ne
cessitating many important finan-
cial and industrial readjustments.
Then they mean good roads, which
one fact is calculated to change our
whole merchandising and transporta-
ton system and at the same time
profoundly affect the living condi-
tions and character of millions of
people.
Apart from the salutary changes
which the automobile has brought to
country life are its effects upon all
life in city as well as country. The
great outstanding social result of
the automobile is the increased
fluidity of life. 1t has dissolved. as
by magic. fixed conditions and
habits and started everybody to
moving on. This may or may not
be a good thing, but the fact re-
mains to be reckoned with.

You will have to get new flywheel

Initial Experimental Demon

PERFECT SUCCESS MARKS
FIRST USE OF DEVICE
Knecht-F eeney Co. Install In
strument; Public Demon !.
stration Saturday
Evening

For the first time in the history OF
Mt. Vernon persons in this communi-
ty on Monday evening witnessed dem
onstration of wireless telephony. 1t
was held at the electrical store of
the Knecht.Feeney Electrical Co. on
South Main street.
The management of the Knecht-Fee-
ney store are installing a Westing-
house wireless telephone set, the in
stallation being so far advanced that
the first experimental tests could be
made on Monday evening between 8
and o'clock 1t is expected that
these tests will be continued nightly
all this week and that it will not be
possible to announce public demon
stration before next Saturday even
ing.
A small but deeply interested COM
pany assembled in the KnechtFeeney
store room for the first experimental
test. The set is supplied with mag
ma vox or loud talking equipment by
which it is possible for any person
within the storeroom to hear the voice
of the operator The Westinghouse
set has radius of 1900 miles with
in which 1t is possible to pick up wire
less telephone and telegraph messag-
es when the local set has been tuned
to the wave.length of the sending sta
tion.
The Westinghouse Electric G Mfg.
Co. at Pittsburg nightly sends out be-
tween the hours of and 8 o'clock a
report giving the steckmarkets, base
ball scores Of the major leagues, a
condensed report of the latest Asso-
ciated Press news, a number of an
nouncements of coming events, and
number of vocal solos and musical
numbers.
The demonstration on Monday ev-
ening was exceedingly interesting. It
was almost mystifying and incredita-
BILE of belief that without wires the
voice of man speaking in an ordin-
airy conversational tone could be
heard in Mt. Vernon, 700 or more
miles distant. Those that were present
on Monday evening had then aural
evidence of the possibility and that it
is done. Others will have the op-
portunity to hear Wednesday evening
and on Saturday evening, 1t is now
purposed, a public demonstration will
be given.
1t is the purpose and plan of the
Knecht-Feeney company, who are the
Mt. Vernon agents of the Westing
house Electric & Mfg. Co., to sell and
to install wireless telephone sets. II
is their purpose to bring to Mt. Yer
non from Pittsburgh an expert who
will this coming fall and winter give
