JEWETT HAILED AS SPEED|EST
 OF SMALL CARS
New Paige Product Wins First Place in Auto Club
 Test

So many conflicting claims have been made concerning the speed, power and hill climbing ability of automobiles of various makes that the Albany Automobile club, in con junction with the Times Union, de cided to settle the matter for itself. so far as that city Is concerned. Con sequetly, a series of contests was ar ranged and the first, to test hill climbing ability and speed, was staged July 22, with Menands hill as the objective selected.
 Any owner or dealer was entitled to enter any make of car without fee or restrictions. Entrants were di class two, for example, including any car selling from $7oo to S1,2oo. The contest attracted wide attention, 5000 people lining the course.
 The Jewett was easily the winner over all the cars in class two, in which there were II entrants. Ac- celerating to a speed of 56 miles an hour the Jewett went over the top of the hill In 54 1-5 seconds, estab- fishing record for getaway and speed. Two other Jewett entries taking second place, and a third, driven by woman. tying for third place.
 Under an eight-column head de- claring the Jewett to be the speed fest small car of the year." Tres cot" automobile editor of the Times Union, said: Tt was not freak per formance. The fact that second and third places were also won by Jewett cars in from one to two sec onds slower time than the first Jew cit is ample evidence that these 1922 small models of Paige are probably the speediest small car of the year"

 Cleanser

woco Three C. crank case cleanser, the new motor necessity in troduoed to tho Birmingham district last week by the Wofford on com pany, has met with an unprecedented popularity, according to operators of woco service stations. The demand for an efficient and harmless cleanser for crank cases has evidently been met by the new product. judging by it's favorable reception.
 Wooo Three c" crank case cleanser is described as . preparation that will thoroughly and efficiently wash out crank cases with no danger of impairing the lubricating quality of the fresh oil that Is poured in. In fact, 1t h claimed for Woco Three C. that 1t has sufficient lubricating qualities of its own to increase the efficiency of the fresh oil. Motorists are warned, however. not to attempt the use of Woco Three e. as . lubri- eating oil.
 Woco "Thres C. is used as any other ordinary agent for cleaning out crank cases, but less of 1t is re- quirsd. After draining all old oil from the crank case, quart or two of Woco Three C. crank case cleanser is poured in and the engine revoived several times. the cleanser Is drained out. and the proper grade or Woco motor oil poured in.
 woco '~Three c" may bs had only at the woco service stations, 1t is an- nounced. and is moderately priced. It is described in a little booklet, "A Few Suggestions on the Care of Your Motor," which has recently been printed by tho wofford oil company and may be had free at Woco stations or on application to the company.

Farmer Appreciates
 Beautiful Designs
 m His Automobile

There Is one thing upon which the tastes of city man and farmer coin eide much more closely than city folk realize, and that is the motor car The man who thinks that the farmer does not appreciate smartness and beauty in automobiles. lacks completely in an understanding of those who run the country's biggest business.
 The popularity of high-class cars among farmers proves that the farm CT does care for smartness and beau ty. This accounts for the increased farm demand for Willys-K Knight cars. As an example, the Willys Knight car showed the greatest percentage of in- crease in registration in 1921 over 1920 in the rural communities of Illi- nois of any make of automobile and ts22fs showing proportionate in crease over 1921. The same condi- ton exists in rural communities In other states.

One of the most efficient aids to sales is a speedy service. according to R. H. Thomas. Jr., manager of the Crawford Quick Tire service. and "we win many friends and put many new tires on the rim for the reason of this service.
