DECLARES WEIGHT
VERY IMPORTANT

Many motorists in deciding on the
purchase of a new automobile fail to
put into consideration the weight of
a car" declares Cal Messner. ITO
the average buyer it appears unim-
portant, but in reality it is of vital
Importance from the standpoint of
upkeep costs.
"In the case of a heavy car. the
very first cost is the charge for ex-
ira materials that contribute to ex-
cess weight. Then there are the
three chief items of motor expense
repairs, gasoline and tires.
'fOf course. the cost of repairs
alone with a heavy car is usually tre-
mendous, due to the strain that ex-
cessive weight places upon the mo-
tor, transmission and other vital
parts of the cars mechanism.
Next comes the gasoline expense
This is worth any prospective buyers S
consideration. because the consump-
ton of gas with a heavy car is much
more than with light car.
Tire costs should also be consid
cred. Here is where the owner OF a
heavy car spends many an extra
dollar. This extra charge can, of
course, be avoided; the lighter the
motor car, the less tire costs in the
first place and consequently the less
burden, the longer the wear.
THE moderate weight of the
Cleveland Six, the even distribution
of weight throughout the entire
length Of its chassis, together with
light reciprocating parts. reduce
wear and upkeep costs to a mimi
mum. Cleveland Six owners every
where report 10 to II miles to the
gallon. of gasoline and $4,000 to To-
900 miles from set of tires. This
is economical transportation.

WARNS TO BEWARE
REBUILT BATTERY
WHEN PURCHASING

The fact that the entire electrical
equipment on an automobile may not
be made in one factory does not mean
that the manufacturers of the vari
Gus parts have not co-operated, to
the end that the whole functions
most efficiently as unit, Quite to
the contrary, makers of the generator,
starting motor, dash equipment and
storage battery on single car are
required to work together for the
most satisfactory operation of the
car itself, their parts must co-ordi-
nate properly.
This point at once suggests another
fact that the substitution of other
than the original manufacturers
parts in the repair of any of these
units is almost certain to impair its
efficiency. That is particularly true
in the case of the storage battery,
where it seems to DE a common prae-
tice for some battery repair men to
rebuild an old battery with a few
new parts, and sell it again as a re
paired" standard make with lot of
life left in it. at a price way out of
reason for the service it will render
Such imposition by unscrupulous
battery men" says Mr.. II. s. Gardner,
sales manager of the Willard Storage
Battery company, Cleveland, is the
thing that all manufacturers of stan
dard storage batteries are anxious to
bring to the attention of car drivers.
There would be no occasion for the
original owner of such a battery to
dispose of it, if it could have been
economically repaired. 1t certainly
cannot be made an econimical pur-
chase for anyone else after having
been once worn out and discarded as
worthless"

USE HORSE SENSE
WITH HORN WHEN
APPLYING JUICE

There are some drivers who nave
never yet Termed the real office OF
the motor horn says c. A. Makem-
son, of the Overland Arizona Co,
''who think it has $50 definite pur-
pose; and when they want to use it,
they use it with that idea uppermost
in their minds.
with 10,00O,00O motor cars in the
United States, it is time the use and
abuse of this part of the car should
be understood by all drivers.
Its use in removing the pedestrian
in a biz percentage of cases, has only
brought success by injury or death
to the victim.
Watch the effect of a sudden
blast from your horn on little chill
dren crossing the street. In many
cases they are startled into instant
confusion. Some will stand para
lived, looking wideeyed into the
very eyes of the monster already
upon them Others will rush nearly
always the wrong way. In any case
there is a nervous shock if nothing
worse.
Il have seen young physician on
the crowded streets of large city
drive as close to old people as he
could get without their knowledge
and then blow his horn full blast.
1t was a sort of sport with him and
he would laugh to his friends in the
car, with merriment at their conster-
nation. Such things, where heart
and nerves are weak might result as
disastrously as the impact of the car
itself and should be punished accor-
dinghy.
"The pedestrian does have some
rights on the street Naturally it
should be taken for granted that a
man or woman, unless very old,
should use good judgment in the use
of the road as we'll as the motorist.
If each one of them will remember
and put into use the commonest cour-
tesy, the question would be settled
right there.
Some motorists not only use the
horn on necessary occasion. but throw
in multitude of extras for good
luck, which often turns out to the
contrary"

NEW CAR BOASTS
BUICK { MbL { NJ

Readers of short stories, according
10 Larry Quinlan, especially those
who own motor ears, have CLEANED
much pleasure from perusing the
thrilling and interesting automoplle
tales by Byron Morgan, the popular
author Motion picture devotees also
rave seen projected upon the screen
some of these stories in film form.
Morgan. says Quinlan. got his ma
. ferial from actually driving an auto
mobile and in addition TO being
star with the pen and typewriter, he
also is an expert at manipulating the
steering wheel of a car and in taking
care of il. II other words he knows
what an automobile should be and
what is should do. Hence, Byron Nor
can's remarks concerning any par
ticular make of motor car must car
ry some weight.
When Morgan heard that Jimmy
= Murphy. the sensational speedway
racing marvel had selected q Buick
for his personal use, he wrote the
daredevil pilot a letter in which he
Jimmie for his good
' Judgment, and then related his rea-
sons for having purchased another
new Buick. IL
Morgan took for his material in
writing the racing stories the days
before concrete paving eliminated all
the real hardships, danger. and ro-
nance from the contests of speed and
endurance over the racing roads of
years gone by. He had seen. many
Buick cars stand the gaff in road
races and come home under the wire
ahead of the much higher priced for
eign cars, winning through sheer
power and sturdiness, as well as the
ability of the pilot to keep the Buick
going unGer all sorts of adverse road
conditions.
This prompted Morgan to buy his
first Buick car. Since then nothing
else has satisfied the author. The
Buick which Morgan has just dis
carded for 1922 model had travelled
over $4,000 miles. used in getting
real material for his stories.
He says he had to fight some ter,
rible roads when he was forced to

Inside of Battery
Only Thing That
Counts for Much

"Getting wight down to facts, it is
what is inside the battery that counts,
says r. j. Jones, manager of the To-
cal Vesta service station, in giving a
little advice to motorists. 4
Batteries look pretty much alike
on the outside. but unless the inside
is made right you motorists are apt
to have trouble.
zone reason we are able to help
you is because we can use the Vesta
patented features in repairing any
battery you happen to have.
You cannot take too good care of
your battery especially during the
summer We are always glad to in
spect and test your battery without
charge and you should have it done
at least every two weeks
Excessive speed shortens the life of
tires because the generation of heat
reacts unfavorably on their construc-
ton.
More than one third of federal aid
road projects completed and under
agreement 1916 to 1921 were of gravel
construction.

wander into districts off the beaten
paths. where there wasn't even
semblance of a road that would wind
off through the desert. Not once did
Morgan have occasion to quarrel with
his Buick, because he says the car
never failed MIN. During the opera
ton of this car for $4,000 miles he
says that his repair bill amounted to
s1.25.

 "Hm! So Booth needs you, repeat cd Max Hoadley with the concentrated dryness of a rainiess summer. "Wem. my lady, how far would you let that influence you against your own best interests ?''
 Somewhat taken aback by the abruptness of this attack, and with a meeling that I was Sroping around in the dark to the mans real pur- pose I stared at him for a moment.

That's simple enough isn't it ?''
 "As far as you've gone" I smiled. But you're proposing radical step -one which would involve great ex- pense and & knowledge of business detail which I am not sure I possess. Moreover, there is the question you brought up while ago-the ques- ton Of 1oyalty.''
