The owner, whether he possesses a
low-priced car or an edition de luxe,
has about as much money tied up in
his auto as he feels he can devote to
that particular form of pleasure or to
business. 1t is an investment which
will or will not bring commensurate
returns in money or moments well
spent. 1t can be made an indispensa-
BILE aid to both business and pleasure
or it may become an insufferable null
sance. The actual value Of a car
depends not so much upon the amount
of the purchase price as upon what
can be gotten out Of it; its service, its
dependability and general reliability !;
that and the low cost Of upkeep and
operation.
: 1t is reasonable, therefore, for the
owner to give as much thought and
study to the machine which propels
him and his merchandise as to the
machine in the factory which pro-
duces the merchandise. He ought to
understand how and why and where

They fly back into normal pos1Ilon,
sag down again and after a while
cease vibrating Meanwhile you are
bouncing around like a rubber ball.
Now to oil such a spring merely in
tensifies all this You do not need the
exercise acquired by the oiling proc
ess. You will get all you need riding
in the car without it. Such a spring
needs friction between the leaves
rather than fabrication. Friction slows
the motion of the spring and steadies
the car.
Now, almost every one will tell you
that friction between the leaves makes
the car ride hard. Probably the first
time you heard anyone say this and
thought your car was not particularly
easy you oiled the springs and went
from the frying pan into the fire.
However, this complaint Is not as
general as that where the springs, ut
terly neglected and rusted together,
have lost large part Of their resili-
ency, so that the car rides like farm
wagon. In such a case lubricating the
spring leaves Is the greatest aid to
comfort A quarters worth Of graph
lite grease and liberal quantity Of
elbow grease works wonders for q
stiff spring.
Intelligent Attention Needed.
Springs really do need great deal
of attention, If it be intelligent atten-
ton. They should be taken apart at
least twice year and cleaned and
fabricated well. There may be OBJ
tanned fabrication inserts to go be-
tween the leaves of the springs.
which usually last for the life Of the
car. If the springs have been well de-
signed they will not need extra at
tachments to make the car ride easily,
but a seven-passenger car will not
ride as easily with two persons as
with its normal load. The point
where the springs are attached to the
body and the suspension point on the
axle or frame need frequent inspec-
ton and fabrication regularly at the
points indicated in the car instruction
book. Spring shackles will wear quick
ly unless fabricated, rendering a
breakdown much more likely.

With about 1000 900 automobiles be-
ing produced in this country annually,
1t can be taken for granted that about
1900 cars are sold every business day
Of the year. A lot Of purchasers are
ing their cars, to say nothing of taking
the proper care Of them.
OF course the buyer receives a GER
tain amount of instruction as to run
ming the machine from the man who
sells 1t to him. That Is to say, the
owner when he finds himself alone
with his newly acquired possession is
apt to steer the thing well enough to
keep between the two curbs Of the
street and to negotiate corner by
some hook or crook. He may know
how to step on the gas, where at least
one of the brake apparatus Is and
something about shifting gears.
Should Know His Car.
But there are lot of things about
a car that he should know, and If
he doesn't know them he should get
busy at once to acquire some knowl-
edge. The best thing for him to do
right of the bat is to take a short
course In driving from some expert
enced man or in some recognized
school, and longer course In auto
motive mechanics. This will be time
and money well spent In the long run.
At any rate, he should take the
instructions book that comes with his
car and learn 1t by heart. A good
deal of 1t will be Greek to him, and
1t will be necessary to consult an ex-
pert to get an explanation of this
technical information and make 1t
somewhat understandable. This book
should be reverenced next to the Bible.

Doubtless the owner will find that
the manufacturer has, for instance,
given certain instructions concerning
fabrication, perhaps has specified GER
tain kinds Of lubricants. Now, no
matter how much you may know
about the subject Of fabrication, rest
| assured that the manufactures has
had an engineer study out the lubri-
cation Of bis car, and what he writes
concerning it Is the last word, and
1t should be followed implicitly.
Service Depends on Care.

Automobiles may be divided into
two classes, those with springs that

there liz q car with springs that really

Automobile instruction books, car
experts and all the wiseacres Of the
fraternity advise one to Intricate the
springs regularly. II the springs need

sometimes happens that the lubrica-
ton Is the very last thing that the
springs need. II you could work a
little rust or gummed oil between the
spring leaves and thus retard the
spring action, 1t might be endurable.
OF course, this is when the springs are
too soft and spring too much. Indis-
eliminate advice as to the care Of
springs may be woree than useless.
No two sets Of springs require the
same medicine. Therefore, before fol-

the springs 1t were well to discover
whether they need 1t.
Soft Springs Yield EasIly.
Soft springs, so flexible that they

inclined to compress too readily when
they drop into q hole or bit bump.

RUSSIAN OPERA COMPANY
GIVES GREAT PERFORMANCE
Superb Rendition Of Rimsky's Snow
Maiden Before larae Audience

Decidedly the finest performance
that the Russian Opera Company has
given in this city and one Of the finest
renditions Of any opera that has been
given here for years was the presenta.
ton Of Rimsky -Korsakoff''s 1.-The Snow
Maiden at the Forrest last evening.
BY far the largest audience that has yet
greeted this unique organization was
present, and its inspiration was evil
dent in the unity and perfection Of the
rendition.
The opera itself is one Of the gems
Of the Russian operate literature. and
the librett0 gives the Russian COM
poser the medium IN which he works
best that Of legend and folk lore. Be.
sides this. there is an element Of humor
too frequent tragedy Of the Muscovite
operatic plot. Rimsky -Korsakoff's
setting carries out the idea Of the Ii
bretto with exactitude, being melodious
as q rule and scored with all the East
ern gorgeousness Of which he was the
greatest master.
The presentation was magnificent in
every sense of the word. Not only
was the singing of principals and cho-
rus very beautiful. but there was an
Orientalism in the rendition which 1t Is
difficult to imagine in any other COM
pany except one Of native Russians.
Every participant from the highest to
the lowest seemed to get the full idea
and flavor of both plot and music and
interpret it with the national idiom.
The stage settings and the costumes
were beautiful and appropriate: some
we'll executed lighting effects adding to
the exotic beauty of the scenes.
Miss Bourskaya perhaps carried on
the honors as Lei Berger. her magnifi-
cent voice and splendid stage presence,
together with a grace Of action hard to
define accurately, being combined In
