ACCESSORIES ARE

'vrhe large number OF accessories

Screy, sales manager of the Western
Auto Supply company. ~,
"If YOU were confronted with list
| OF these accessories and their pur-
pose. YOU would be amazed at the
progress in this branch OF the auto
motive industry.
Lots of people, perhaps, wonder
why motor car manufacturers do not
use many of these accessories as

reason for this being the case. Many
| of these comforts and necessities are
| made in several models at several
/ prices. q
Under the present way of doing IT,
the motorist himself has the pleasure

at a price that suits his pocket-oooh.

and have met the approval of the
worlds best and most eminent engin-
eers employed by such concerns as
Packard Cadillac, Lincoln, Lafayette,
Dusenberg. Continental and other
manufacturers. If you will examine
pistons used in motors built by the
above mentioned concerns you will
note the simplicity and neatness OF
design. The most successful piston
of today is one that is so constructed
to expand and radiate evenly. The
heat in the piston is radiated by the
piston coming in contact with the
cylinder wall and not cooled by the
oil splashing inside the piston TO any
extent Even if it did the heat would
not be intense enough to distort or
burn the oil. Most oils flash or burn
at from 500 to 500 degrees Fahren-
heit whereas pistons seldom get hot
ter than 500 degrees Fahrenheit
Carbon deposits are due to the i'm
purities in the oil that are not re-
moved in the refining. The purer the
oil the less carbon there is in it,
Carbon is also due 70 impurities In
gasoline or distillate and by dust
sucked in through the carburetof

explosion chamber and fuses from
the heat of each explosion. The bet

We have been handling for some
time a splendid piston made by w. IL.
Johns. This piston is known as the

piston. Mr.. Johns ideas conform to

the results .obtainable through the
use of these pistons we have found TO

MOTOR CAR IS
GREAT AID To
POSTAL DEPT.

Former Postmaster General Hays
stated a short time ago that the mo-
tor vehicle will be recognized as one
of the vital factors in the develop
ment Of civilization" remarks r, D.
Roper, local Maxwell dealer.
"Mr. Hays was thinking OF the
great aid which the motor has been
to the postal department in speeding
and facilitating communication, and
communication is the factor upon
which the progress of civilization Is,
of course, largely dependent.
THE city dweller, with mail de-
livery serving him every few hours,
perhaps has failed to notice that de-
livery has been speeded in the last
10 years, just as he has given little
attention to the fact that about 300
postoffices in the country's larger
cities have been saved thousands Of
dollars through the use of the motor
in their transport service.
THE motor has not only affected
saving in time and dollars but, as
well, has made it possible for the
postal department to handle millions
of additional pieces of mail.
"The rural citizen is fully aware OF
what the motor has done for him in
Fastening the delivery Of his mail.

in place of the reliable but somewhat
leisurely horse of some few years

some cases, six to eight hours earlier

"Of course, a reliable car is needed
for this work, one that is sure TO get
there and back day after day, capable
of negotiating ali kinds of roads in all
kinds of weather, and at low cost.

his route calls for 7s stops. His

the fact that the motor ran smooth
and had lots of power when new but
as it got old there was a decided
noticeable lack of power, an increase
in oil and gas consumption. lack of
pep and was noisy.
Upon examining the wearing parts
it was found the cylinders were worn
large and out of cund, the pistons,
rings, and wrist pins also showed
wear. in some instances the owner
requested his mechanic to replace the
wrist pins and install some new fan

CHAPTER XIV.
A Letter and a PROPOSAL.

The Moreland Coal company's two
big rough buildings were completed
in record time. There had been no
further manifestations Of Interference
from the Balls and Torreys, and Hen
derson Golf had been nowhere I'm evil
dence since the night of Bill Dale's
ironclad verbal ultlmatum. Work on
the little railroad was progressing like
wildfre, and everybody was In high
spirits.
BY Heck had just arrived with the
mail. He staIked with an air of great
importance into Dale's office. and
threw the mail down on the new roll
top desk; then he stepped backward,
dropped into a straight-bacl chair and
began to nurse his rifle tenderly ON
his knees. There was a puzzled look
on his leathery face. Dale had re-
ceived half dozen letters, and BY
Heck was at a loss to figure out the
why OF such an overwhelming amount
of mail.
Dale finished his figuring, leaned
back in his swivel chair and took up
letter that seemed altogether too
bulky for business letter. More
over. its address was In pencil, and
somewhat scrawled, though chlrog-
raphy expert would have said that
the handwriting showed strength Of
character.

quite remarkable. She wore more or
less costly gowns now, and few
jewels, thanks 10 Mrs. Dale, and
wherever she went she attracted ad-
miring glances.
Jimmy Fayne had been coming to
see her when Mrs. Dale would per-
NIT 1t, which was not very often. Jim
my Fayne, as Patricia McLaurin had
once been moved TO say, was far
seeing young man for all his weak
nesses; he had known In advance that
the laurel bloom would change 10
rose, and then TO white hyaclnth.
Perhaps he even considered the fact
that she would make better wife for
him. and a better mother for his chill
dren, than some fragile and over-cul-
tured woman of patrician house that
had about run out. At any rate. jim
my Fayne, the ultra-spoiled, had de-
cided that he would marry her.
During those weeks that had been
made happy by an occasional hour at
the home Of the Dales, Fayne had not
once mentioned marriage. He figured,
and wisely enough, that TO be too
quick with his proposal would be to
lose everything.
But now he meant TO propose, for he
knew that Miss Lltteford intended 90.

when she went home she would see
Carlyle Dale. The truth was, OF
course. that Miss Llttleford was go.

pleasantly, and asked permission TO

"Of course" she granted with Il

He stated his mission briefly, for
