WHY NOT GIVE
 II 4 TRIAL?
From Motor Are.

From Motor Are.
 The coming of summer offers an opportunity 10 the service man and the owner for some interesting and perhaps profitable experimental work, says an editorial in a recent issue of Motor Age. Designers In their effort to produce an efficient engine have built engines with com paratively high compression ratios. These engines, when used with fuel that is unsuitable, are subject to many ills that are often times baf- fling to solution. Because the pres ent day fuel Is what 1t is. even some of the comparatively low compress sion engines are susceptible Cases of burnt and pitted valves arc in very large number of instances due to the i'll effects of the fuel used.
 Chronic Knocking on acceleration and under comparatively light loads is another symptom produced by the same cause. The inability of benzol to remain fluid when subjected to low temperatures has prevented more ex- tensive use of 1t as an engine fuel. The average run of benzol as 1t comes from the steel mills will freeze at ap- proximately 20 degrees fahrenheit. The blending of certain other ele- ments with the pure benzol enables 1t to be used without danger of con- gealing at temperatures as low as minus 10 fahrenheit
 Compression ratios as high as SITS to one permissible with benzol with out signs of detonation. It also brings about a noticeable reduction in crankcase dllutlon. With these facts in mind it would be time well spent for the service man to give some attention to this fuel. especially during the summer. It would at least prove interesting to the men who are engaged in Hervicing the cars that are pronouncedly affected with any of the aforementioned troubles.
 The successful use of blended bon zol by one of the largest taxicab com panies should remove some of the ap- parent objections. It is not intended to point to it as a cure all for engine ills because its degree of success Is greatly determined by the design of the particular engine in which 1t is used.

PEERLESS SHOWS
 SPLENDID ASSET

For moro than a week the desk of &. H Collins, president and general manager of tho Peerless Motor Car company, of Cleveland has been piled high with eongratulatory telegrams and letters following the release of the oompany's annual statement.
 In spite of the fact that, like many other automobile manufacturing con- carna, Peerless showed a net operat- ing loss of s10S.665 for 1921, the total of assets exceeds the liabilities by gratifying ratio of nearly nine to one.
 The sales for the year ending De- eember S1 were s12o55'9O4, the state ment shows, as compared with S14,- 91s,0 in 1920.
 After deduotlng s11,S2t.1os for operating expenses. $2S2,526 for plant depreciation and adding $273, 6eB for other income, the balance was $225. .Sss.
 With the payment of S10S,s6s In in terest on notes. allowing $100, 915 for decline in market price of commit ments, s11S,3O7 for extraordinary de- preciation of past model and obsolete parts. and S16,9S3 discount on notes reacquired. there was a net loss of etoS,665 as stated above.
 The balance sheet today shows am @de working capital as current assets amounting to s7065,665 against cur rent liabilities of $S25, 6S2. Net cur. rent assets of s6.29S.6S3 compared with $2,076,400, the balance of $5,000.- GOO of notes outstanding comprising the funded dsbt, are in the ratio of three to one. The company has, ac cordinE to the statement s4,000,- 900 in cash and United States certi- 8acatos of indebtedness.
 In commenting on tho statement, Rwesadent R. H. Collins said:
 -rk will ba the policy of the cor Pn@@tt~n to continue to build and mar- kSe enc of the finest eight cylinder cars.
 '"The public interest in the Peerless 3ine, as reflected by actual sales since January i, Is ample evidence of the excellence of our product and an in- dication that the country, as whole, Is gradually returning to normal con ditions.
 '-The rocent declaration of the divi- dend for 1922 at the rate of s3 par share is fully justified by present prospects and the excellent financial condition of the corporation"
 Net sales for the company for the year ending December s1 last were e11,055,904.
 Immediately after the opening of 1s22, 1t is pointed out, an extra ordinary impetus was noted Tn Peer less sales all over tp country.

FoRGETTING Al nANK ACCorNr.

FORGETTING A BANK ACCOUNT. From Daily Financial America.
 Those who regard the weaknesses of great men as something to be imi- tated may be impressed by the story told recently on. himself by Chauncey M Depew. He put S100 in a saw ings bank for rainy day and failed to think about the account for so years. By chance recently he learned that the deposit was still in the bank and had grown to $500.
 All of us, however, will not like MT. Depew live to be more than 80 years old. The man who forgets his bank account now probably will not live to be reminded of it SO years hence. In that event he will have suffered a loss of Income to all prac- tical purposes. Even his heirs may lose property thus overlooked, par ticularly if he removes to a distance from the bank and the bank officials fail to learn of his death and tho location of his heirs.
 There is good reason to believe that in Mir. Depew's hands his $100 deposit might have become even more than $500 in 60 years. He displayed marked ability as an investor and acquired q fortune. Had MT. Depew been re- minded 40 or 50 years ago of this forgotten hundred possibly he would have rested uneasily until he could even surpassed in the current quar- ter.
 At the same time people are buy ing carefully and critically. More than ever before, they are choosing proven goodness and value.
 And we of Hupmobile like to feel that our car is today reaping the of q of faithful vice in this country and all over the world"
 The Hupmobi1e is sold in Ser mingham by Cruse Crawford Manu- featuring company, Avenue and Twenty second street.

Battery Tips

Economize on lights.
 Never use a battery in a leaking condition.
 Test the gravity of all cells with hydrometer syringe
 Never allow the battery to become overheated in service.
 Keep distilled water In battery so solution Is about half an inch above the top of the plates.

If he trusts to a savings bank account he will benefit in proportion as he re- members that account on pay day. and adds to 1t by denying foolish self-indulgence. If he finds insur- ance against poverty and want grow ing through the aid of the savings bank, it will help him to remember the account. It may also help him 10 remember the other fellow less for tunate. He can at least pass along the story of his own success.

A Way to Stop Hood RattIes

A hood that has tendency to nat- tie with the vibration of the engine may be silenced by drilling series of holes in the band of metal on which the hood rests and threading a strip of leather through the holes. In this way the hood rests on leather instead of metal.

Driving Chr. on Hills

When going up a hill driver should not wait until the engine al- most stalls before shifting to a lower gear. If the car will not make the hill easily on high gear, change to second speed before the engine labors and knocks. By so doing considerable engine bearing trouble will be avoided.

Protection to Metal Surfaces

Metal surfaces may be protected by applying several coats of lacquer or celluloid varnish. The solution should be applied with a camers hair brush, after the metal has been pol ished. Before covering the surface every trace of grease on the brass or other metal should be cleared

TRAFFIC DOS AND DONT'S

Someone may come to town to do some business with you but finding no place to park, will do business at a more accessible location.
 It is true that all well meaning persons intend to drive cars and con duet themselves in accordance with the laws and further in accord with the convenience of others, but most everyone thinks that the ether tel- low io on the lookout. Such is not the case as the records of automobile fatalities indicate that the other fel- low is sure that he need not be con cerned with what the other fellow is going to do.
 Drive carefully. Keep your brakes properly adjusted. Look out for ths other fellow.

Russia Makes Position Clear
to European DiplO-
mats.

GENOA, April 14.-"Russia is not going
to allow herself to be treated like China
and to have the severe restrictions of the
Versailles treaty imposed upon her." de-
clared George Tchitchertn, head Of the
Russian delegation, at the international
economic conference in session here.
Tchitcherln is commissar of foreign at
fairs at Moscow and one of The biggest
men in the soviet government.
The Russians in counter proposals will
agree to give full guarantees for capital
taken into Russia for reconstruction pur-
poses and will recognize the pre-war debt
of Russia, but will declare that Russia
cannot pay this debt because 1t Is be-
yond the physical possibility of the
country.
Debate upon the allies program for
Russian reconstruction was postponed in
definitely at the request of Tchitcherin.
Tchitcherin said he had not heard from

eminent.
