Everyone realizes that in organ lzations such as clubs, fraternities, business organizations and such there is more friendly feeling amongst the members than there Is toward one who does not affiliate. Frequently the motorist will have trouble on the road, and as an approaching car sees the emblem of his club on the car of the one in distress, he will in- variabIy stop and offer assistance.

NEW MODEL NASH
 CAR DIST TINCTVE
Latest Model Outstanding Value, Says MCCor-
 mack

In one respect the new 1924 model Nash Is in a class almost to itself It remains distinctively Nash both as to body lines and mechanical con struction.
 Nash has always been original In producing his car he has never found 1t necessary to rely for popu- larity upon design fostered and de- veloped by another manufactured From the very first, the Nash fac tory has deligently and conscientous- fly gone about its work of producing the best motor car value in the world. The public has never been asked by Nash to bear the expense of its ex- pertinent work; only tried and Nash construction, and these ideas have been so successful that other manufacturers have, one by one, fall en In line behind Nash.
 The new Nash stands out in It's price class just as other older model Nash cars have stood out as excep- tional values of their days. Pros pective buyers will find the 1924 model & revelation as to refinement of detail. ease of riding and quiet and powerful operation. Several in teresting features on the new Nash represent the progressive spirit of the factory organization, and these features add much to the comfort and convenience of the driver and passengers. The fact that these fea- lures were added to the new models without an advance in price, came as distinct surprise to the industry, and many believe that Nash will soon be forced to announce an increase in list prices on all the various models. Purchasers, as well as Nash dealers, are buying heavily against this ex- pected price advance in an effort to get this fine new car at the lowest ,,nr siInln

Flickering headlights arc some- times caused by too great clear ance between the bulb sockets ana inc base of the bulb. The vibration can be stopped by applying a drop of solder on the end of the bulb, thereby forcing the projection of the bulb base more tightly into the socket slot. Other methods are to slightly press in the slot openings to give the socket a tighter grasp on the bulb base, or to insert brass wedge between the socket wall and the bulb base.

RoD,d Trend Wear Of Tires

The causes most often responsible for too rapid tread wear are the va rious forms of wheel irregularities, such as misalignment, improper chamber, wobbles and unevenly ad- iusted brakes. These conditions can be brought about by such things as bent axles, bent steering knuckIesI loose bearing, Q broken spring, bent spindle, or anything which pre- vents the wheels from tracking prop erly. Excessive brake application, spinning of the wheels, or a rim unevenly placed on a wheel will also cause undue tread wear. A tire which does not run trre drags with side motion as it revolves. This has about the same effect as rubbing the tread with a rasp file-the rub Der is worn away very rapidly.
 Never depend too much on brakes for quick stops.
 A little powdered resin sprinkled on the fan belt will keep 1t from slipping.
 Failure to keep the clips tight Is the most common cause of spring breakage.
 Celluloid curtains can be cleaned and renewed by applying cleSn vine- gar with soft cloth.

 A rear axle should be cleaned ey- drain out all old oil first.
 An excellent pipe joint cement can be made from a mixture of brown shellac and flake graphite.
 The only remedy for worn gears is replacement; however, chains may generally be adjusted to eliminate the back lash.
 Wear in the timing gears and their bushings, or chain and sprocket, will effect the operation of the engine and cause noise
 A flat tire on a front wheel is much more dangerous than one at the rear A front tire blowout may turn the car into ditch.
 Smashed hub caps should be re- placed immediately. Otherwise they permit dirt and grit to enter and wear the bearings, while grease Is oozing out.

City Starts Year With

called the attention of the city coun-
Gil that. as all balances had been
transferred from the various depart
mcnts where there were any to the
contingent and all overdraf.s had
been taken care Of by funds from the
contingent that the various DEPART
mentS started the year with clean
slate. but that no funds were as yet
available for Use of the various de-
partments. The appropriation bill, he
said, could not be made up until the
state and county tax was determined.
lie asked that the heads of the vari-
Gus departments bring in their esti-
mates for the first three months of the
year. He called attention to the pur-
chase of a second hand truck for
S475 from the Gardiner Motor Co. by
the Department of Streets and High
ways; This bill he S atod lie had not
signed because there were no funds
and it should therefore be included in
the estimate of the Highway depart
men, for the first three months. He
also called attention to the fact that
the fire department had started in
with about a $500 yearly income.
That any radical changes calling for
the expenditure of money should not
be effective without concerted action
on the part of the ouncil. He asked
the commissioners to make their cS-
Inmates as low as possible as any in
crease must be met by an additional
tax rate.
