Pottberg Says No
 Middle Ground On
 Used Car Problem

The question of used cars was being discussed the other day at an informal gathering of automobile dealers and salesmen. Charles J. Pottherg. sales manager of Barret & Pottberg, lnc.' the local Stakeholder distributors, who was among those present, listened TOT a time. then he unburdened hlmseil thusly:
 "GentIemen. It seems to me that there has been a lot of good breath wasted all over the country talking about this matter; also lot or per fectly good white paper and first cIass ink used in written articles on the question, that might have been used to better advantage.
 gro me. it seems like it all gets back to the childlike questions-either the used car under consideration is worth the money or it is not; either the car is in good shape mechanically or it is not.
 "There are two distinct plans for handling used cars. Either Keep the price down at the very lowest level possible and sell them as is; or go into the car thoroughly, give It a complete overhauling, paint. new top seat-covers if necessary, and add that expense to the original investment the car represents. There can successfully be no middle ground. I am convinced on that point.
 Tn either of the two methods used the customer gets just what he pays for; just what the car is worth Al the reputable dealer desires is to get rid of the used car and get his money back, plus a fair margin for overhead and handling At Barret & Pottberg' it is our main desire to make satisfied customers. That is our biggest asset

Those who have followed the trend in motor car design have noticed the tendency toward standardizins speedster type.

That conclusively shows that the super SIX satisfied popular demand and man. tained Hudson influence on motor car design. The speedster body with an added refinement and detail is fin

All Manufacturers Recommend Regular
 Cronkcase Cleaning

Tho manufacturers of automobllcs recommend in their instruction DOCKS that the crankcase be drained and thor oughly cleaned at regular lntcfNais. The reason for this Is to aVold un- necessary wear on the engine which would be caused by the continued CIT culation of contaminated oil, states Fred Noll of the Commercial SerVlce Station.
 Regular cleaning of the automobile crankcaSe is the first and easiest alu to better engine performance and long CT engine life. The wear and tear ol engine operation causes steady accum- ulation of road dust, carbon, fine metal particles and other impurities Tn crahk- case oil This gritty contaminated OH circulates through the engine, lmpalrs it's performance and ultimately leauS to rapid depreciation and repairs. The oil like the blood of the body, circulates through the engine and car ries away all dust and dirt at the same time that it lubricates, but unlike the blood does through the lungs. For thls reason it is necessary to drain out the old oil at regular intervals and to Hush out the crankcase to avoid deposits Of dust and dirt which might otherwise ] contaminate the fresh oil as soon as II | is put in the cranlIcase.
 Cleaning the crankcase is a job gen orally disIiked; therefore frequently neglected To meet the need of regu- | lar cleaning of the cranllcase, modern
 cranIzcase cleaning service has been es- | tablished at first class garages and
 other dealers throughout Arizona. 1 These garages and dealers use new,
 scientific flushing agent that cleans
 out old oil, dirt, grit and other impuri- ties and does not impair the lubricat- 1 ing efficiency of the fresh oil used.
 The service is rendered for a nomi- nal charge in addition to the cost of
 the necessary gallon of flushing oil
 and the fresh lubricating oil poured
 into the crankcase after it has been cleaned Garages and dealers giving
 this service are designated by a blue and orange sign bearing the words Mod
 ern Cranl1case Cleaning Service.

New Housing Idea in Rome.

Rome will become city of odd ap-
pearance If the plans for the solution
of the housing problem proposed by
some Italian engineers are put in op-
GRAFTON. The proposal is to build on
the fiat roofs of most of the build
ings in Rome light houses of three
and four stories.
The engineers have placed their
ideas before Henry Colt MacClean,
United States commercial attache to
the American embassy. They have
asked that American capital become
interested in the project. The materl-
al for the whole Of the scheme, accord
ing to the engineers suggestions,
would come from America because of
the adaptability of American light
construction methods in the choice of
materials and means of assembling.
Mr.. MacClean has succeeded in in
teresting several American business
men in the project and other projects
along the line of building construc-
ton in Rome.

BANKING HAS ITS ROMANCE

The river consists not of silver or

bank associated with the clearing
house has its own desk in the buiig-

Year by year the river increases.
In 1868 it topped three thousand mil
lions BY 1908 it was over twelve
thousand millions. In 1913 it rose to
more than sixteen thousand millions.
The second year of the war saw it
down by a trihe of three thousand
millions. Since then it has leaped up

old PILOT HAPPY
Nick Durand Has Big Store Of

His RecolIections Cover Thirty-Three

the r0tting wharf drifting YEARLY ou

years on one after another of the Ohio
river craft, is left once more without

ice-clOgged water, no serious accident
has occurred.
With a ciuckle, he tells of the
couples that have made their way
down the river front hand in hand

During the years that Nick Durand
has shipped on Ohio steamers, he ha%
