With Location of Every Grease

1t is of prime Importance to handle
the new car carefully. After the first
trip take a wrench and go over every
nut and bolt TO make certain they
are all tight. The engine parts should
receive especial attention, for the
slightest defect will result in misfiring
and poor carburetion, writes William
H.. Stewart in New York Times. Make
your inspections frequently for the
first 1000 miles until the car has
worn in somewhat. then you can re-
lax your vigilance a bit.
Make a thorough study of your in
%struction book. Look at the lubrica-
ton chart and familiarize yourself
with the location of every grease cup
and oil hole, then see that they are
kept filed properly. This will insure
you against worn parts or scored bear
ings and, incidentally, allow you to
learn he fabrication system thorough

New Car Is Stiff.

When an automobile is built the en-
CINE has been run but little and every
part is fitted tight to make them snug
after the rOughness has worn off. Con
sequently the car is very stiff and
will not show much speed until those
parts wear In. So don't exceed TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour until the speed
ometer registers 1000 miles. BY so
doing ach part will find ITSELF and
you will be perfectly safe in exceeding
thirty miles per hour. If you force
a a before it has obtained the 1000
miles it will result in a noisy engine
and premature repairs.
Drain off the oil every 500 miles
n replace 1t with fresh. The guam
tity of grit and dirt that comes from
the crank-case is usually surprising.
The bearings and pistons throw off
small particles of metal which II not
removed with the old oil will work
into the bearings and cause trouble.
Perhaps the motor will show a ten
dency to overhead when new. Don't
let this worry you for it is merely
the friction caused in wearing off the
rough surface of the engine. Drive
i~ntelligently N use plenty of oil and
water and soon this trouble will dis
appear.
Clean Body Carefully.
The body cleaning should be lone
very carefully for the first month or
so. Use a simple flow OF water, with
out spray or force, otherwise the fin
ish will be married. The longer you
drive without unnecessary cleaning,
the harder the varnish will become.
Do not allow the engine TO race or
to run when the car Is standing. Self
starters are made TO be used and it
is good for the battery to be operated
i~ntelligently.
Keep the tires fully inlated-soft
tires consume power as well as de
stroy themselves.
Keep the carburetor adjusted at the
l%eanest possible mlxture-a lean mix
ture reduces carbon deposits.
Don't try TO economic by purchas-
ing the Just as good oil. Buy the
best grade and change the supply
about every 500 miles. This will be
most economical in the long run.
If you follow the car driven by an
expert you will notice that he main
tains a constant speed that he does
not loaf along and then suddenly jump
to forty miles an hour. More gasoline
is used when you accelerate. Select
a safe driving speed, making only
gradual speed changes when II Is nee
essary.

debate, the opposition being led by
senator Johnson, who told of Blair's
action In the convention and asserted
that "a man who will violate his own
states laws is Unfit to administer the
nations laws" A second objection
made by johnson was connected with
tax returns. He said "Mr. Blair's ia
ther-in-law is one Of the richest men In
North Carolina and he sought. by
forming a partnership with his family,
to lessen the amount of his income

ported the navy bill with provisions
for funds no only for completing the
