USED AUTOS GIVE. LOW COST SERVICE
Fig Iteam Of Depreciation M Paid By Original
 Owner

gre The used car IS the answer to the man who wants still lower cost of automobile transportation" says Bill Pape. sales manager at Mccormack Bros. Motor company.
 ''The figures prove it. One of tho big items of cost In car ownership Is depreciation. The owner of 8 new car must depreciate 1t heavily the first year he owns it. This figure doesn't represent any actual disap- pearance of transportation efficiency, but simply means that any car, how ever good must be sharply depre- ciated as to market value after even one season of use.
 The used car owner does not have to charge off any such heavy de- preciation
 The item of interest on used car is much less for the price paid than on a new car The same with insurance.
 And it cost no more to run a good used car 100 miles than it does a new car.
 Frankly, when the general public really understands the enormous transportation value offered by re- liable dealers in good used cars for every dollar invested in them, used cars are going to be harder to get from reliable dealers"

 The ideal section of the Lincoln highway, located in Lake county, Ind, Enear Chicago, is the finest piece of
 road on the American continent. The
 paving is 40 feet wide and 10 inches i thick, heavily reinforced with steel, i and cost $65, 900 a mile. It is eX- 1 pected to stand for generations as 1 model for the development of all great interstate arteries of traffic. Hundreds of highway experts and en- gIneers have visited the site and in- spected the work in progress.

Getting the Most From Tires.

The strongest tire (newest) should be placed on the car at the point of greatest strain-right rear wheel. As the others wear out, it should be moved to the left rear, the right front and the left front wheels. On car equipped with all new tires, the right rear wears most, left rear next, and so on. When the rear tires show signs of being worn, they should be exchanged with the front tires. After that the above sequence should be lowed.

Suggestions For Care of the Car

Suggestions For Care of the Car
 The average motorist, no matter how efficient he is in his driving, is habitually careless in his neglect of hiss automobile. Operators neglect to oil frictional parts; they make re- pairs with pieces of rope or wire in- stead of replacing broken castings. and pay little attention to their ma chimes as long as they run. The fol- lowing hints are intended for the proper care of the car:
 Gears should not grind or rattle.
 The clutch should never grab or slip.
 Keep the car sheltered from the clements.
 Adjust loose or worn parts as soon as discovered.
 Understand an automobile before attempting to run it. Clean it up after using it.
 when stopping or starting the car, shifting gears. or standing idle.
 Never let the engine get over heated. A late spark, a lean mix ture, an obstructed cooling system. or an overload may cause excessive heating.
 Keep the engine running smoothly. If it develops a limp or gallop, there is a cause. The ignition may be at fault. or the carburetor, or the engine itself, which means either the valves or the pistons and rings.
 Watch the oil closely. Remember that anything can be overdone. Too much oil in the crank case causes oil pumping, loss of power, smoke and fouled plugs. Too much on the mag neto may cause failure of ignition. Too much on exposed bearings col lects dust and helps wear out the parts. Parts which move very slowly or internationally may require no oil at all.
 Finally, the car must have intelli- gent adjustment, cleaning, and, if necessary, repairing between the time of closing one season and open ing the next.
 Occasional weak spark and misfir- ing is often caused by oil finding it's way to the platinum points.
 To recharge storage battery, it is necessary to have electric currents going in one direction only
 Too strong current to the igni- the condenser and the consequent ruin of the coil.
 A worn valve guide will allow ough air to be sucked into the cyl finders to cause misfiring and also permit oil to leak out.
 The only thing with which to pol should be kept in a box in the ga- should ge kept in a box in the ga rage where it cannot gather dust and dirt.
 The drain cock at the bottom of the vacuum tank should be opened at fixed intervals so as to allow the foreign matter to run out. This con- dition is frequently the cause of car buretion trouble.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-11-25

During the winter months the ctank case should be drained more frequently than in summer. This is essential because it removes the water which forms an emulsion with the oil and destroys the latters lub- ricating value.

MOTORS AND THEIR CARE
Slow Valve Leak,

A slow leak in the tire valve plunger can be sometimes checked by applying a drop of oil in the valve stem The oil partly dissolves the rubber and causes it to anneal to an air-tight joint.

Changing of oil in New Motor.

Because oil tends to deteriorate very rapidly in a new engine, the re- placement of oil at proper intervals will insure, continued smoothness of operation and prevent undue wear to bearings. Sediment in new engine is the greatest prevalent cause of oil deterioration. This sediment is pro- duced by the engine wearing itself in" A new motor is built and as- sembled so that it is fairly tight or stiff This causes each moving part to adjust itself to each other part. In doing this, the various pieces rub against each other and infinitely small particles of metal are icked up from the machine surfaces. These particles, being heavier than oil, are naturally carried to the lower pan and there deposited. This wearing action takes place most rapidly dur ing the first thousand miles of run ming. although the action is never entirely absent.
 Springs and. Spring Clip Logic.
 Take precaution to keep the sprin g clips tight. Axles break in the cen ter almost invariably because of eloose spring clips. Looseness of the clips also makes the springs more likely to squeak. Keeping the springs ubricated not only prevents squeak

PARIS.-"You can't teach His

SAYS Charles Faroux, Frances leading
authority on automotive matters, up

King Alfonso OF Spain under the big

Among the anecdotes the royal ex-

was one at the expense OF Henry
Ford. The Spanish authorities are en-
gagged in exploiting a region near the
Portuguese frontier and Alfonso, NOV
ed by his ruling passion, decided that
better results would follow if the
engineers, instead of being given trav-
cling allowances, were allotted "fiv-

Leeches Stop Train When
They Get Loose in Sleeper
Escape From Exporters Box and
Fasten Selves on Passengers.

America has recently become a
large exporter of leeches, and one of
the principal sources from which these
are obtained is Hungary. A leech ar
irving in America alive brings about
$100
Attracted by the prospects OF a
profitable business, a certain Hunga-
rian recently began to devote himself
to the collection of leeches. He has
decided, however, that the business
has its drawbacks.
Recently the leech catcher got into
a night train for Budapest On the
rack above his seat he carefully plac-
ed heavily nailed box.
There were several passengers in
the compartment, including two wo-
men, who had settled themselves to
sleep through the warm night and
had drawn the screen over the lamp
so that the compartment was in COM
parative darkness.
The train had rumbled ON for
some distance when a shrek from
one of the women aWoke the other
passengers, one of whom in panic
seized the alarm and stopped the
train.
The conductor arrived, uncovered
the light and discovered why the Wo-
man had screamed so loudly. On her
ample neck and bosom were two fat
leeches
Other leeches had alighted on the
other passengers, and only the owner
of the box was entirely free from
them.
