VARNISH harmed
in WASHING CAR
Improper Methods Are Some
times Worse for the Finish
Than None at All.
TEMPERATURE OF wA1EF
Cleaning Solutions Containing Ammo
MIA or Any Kind of Lye Soap Should
Be. Avoided-Loosen Mud
and Dirt Gently.

The purchaser of motorcar, proud
Of Its resplendent luster, Is prone to
make many commendable resolutions
pertaining to its frequent washing and
cleaning and then actually do more
harm than good in the zeal with which
these operations are carried out.
If one could watcli the minute care
with which the final surface is built
up at the factory, where coat after
coat Of expensive material Is deftly
applied and carefully rubbed, the car
owner would be more specific when
he gives Instructions to have the car
washed.
Do Not Use Brush.
He would make sure that the water
is no warmer than 90 degrees, for no
varnish will Withstand sudden appli-
cation of hot water. No matter how
much mud or dirt Is on the car, it
should not be scrubbed of with a
| brush. Cleaning solutions should be
avoided, especially If they contain am
monia or any kind of lye soap. And
the practice Of removing mud and dirt
by harsh water blast is decidedly
detrimental because the blast drives
the grits Of dust and mud into the
| finish.
The integrity Of the varnish is i'm
paired by every scratch it receives.
Because these scratches often are SO
small that they are not apparent to
the eye does not lessen their danger
to the finish. Examine a car with the
aid Of an enlarging glass after 1t has
received thoughtless rush" washing
and the apparent glasslike surface is
found to be actually broken up into
countless cuts and scratches. The
process need be continued only a COM
paratively few times when these
| scratches will be worn through the
coats of finishing varnish, allowing
moisture to seep into the undercoats.
and the finish will begin to check,
crawl and dislntegrate.
Right Water Pressure.
When running water Is used the
pressure should be just sufficient to
keep the water moving six inches
from the open hose. Then the mud
and dirt should be gently loosened
with soft, clean cloth or sponge. If
soap must be used, it should be pure
CASTLE When the car is clean II
should be showered with cool but not
cold water, especially If warm water
has been used at the beginning of the
work or If the car Is to be run out
into cold weather. 1t is advisable to
wash one section at a time, drying
with good chamois. In using the
chamois the motion should be in
straight lines rather than circular.
The chamois should be kept clean
throughout the operation, washing It
out frequently with soap and water
and rinsing thoroughly with clean
water. Do not rub vanished sur
face after 1t is dry.
Every time the car comes in after
a muddy trip 1t should be washed be
fore the mud has chance to set or
harden.

COmmiss

y Herbert Hoover, Chairman of the
! American Relief Administration, has
transmitted to President Harding a
full report of the expenditure Of
funds authorized by Congress for the
relief of Russia. The report, vou-
ehers, auditors statements and var
ious necessary Recommendation accom-
panying it, make up sixteen huge
volumes.
In his letter of transmission Mr..
Hoover states that "there has not
been a deduction of one penny for
A. R. A. administration purposes
either from the funds provided by
Congress or from funds provided
by public charity in the United
States"
The greatest famine-breaking eff
fort of modern times has been fin
anced, as far as its overhead is con-
cerned, by a bu siness operation
which has involved the export to
Russia from the United States of
more than $11,5OO,0O0 worth of
American foodstuffs paid to Ameri-
can producers by individual Ameri-
cans and representing practically the
entire commerce of the United States
with Russia during the past ID
months.
This particular phase of the A.

R. A. effort cannot strictly be class
ed as charity. 1t is a business con-
Quoted on strictly business prin-
ciples. 1t has offered persons in
America opportunity to send rela-
tives, friends, and other beneficiar-
les in Russia basic foodstuffs at
prices about as low as the same
foodstuffs could be secured at retail
in New York. In addition to the
service rendered to the relatives and
friends, as we'll as hungry Russians,
this business has not only paid the
entire overhead cost of the strictly
charity section of the American Re-
lief Administration during this per-
iod but has earned a large margin
for use in feeding destitute children
in Russia. This means that every
cent of the $20,000,O00 appropriated
by Congress was spent for food; |;
that of the sum amounting to be-
tween $1O,000,000 and $11, 100000
entrusted to the American Relief
Administration by the Soviets them
selves to purchase food and seed in
America, not q penny was deducted
for administrative expense, and that
of every dollar contributed to the
American Relief Administration, 100
cents was expended for relief with
out the deduction of a single penny
for the cost of administration

The report shows that the totn
funds made available for Russian re-
lief through the American Relief
Administration amounted to approx
imately $50, 600. 600; that the total;
shipments to Russia were 416; that
these shipments totalled 852,184
short tons and that in them corn
was the largest single item, COM
prising more than three-eighths Of
the total tonnage.
The complete Recommendation Of
the report involved a vast amount
of labor as the food stuffs are ac-
counted for from the time of their
purchase straight through to their
actual distribution to the Russian
people. 1t includes the report of the
United States Grain Corporation
which acted as fiscal agent of
the Purch a in g Commission for
, Russian Relief headed by E. M.
Flesh. 1t also includes the report Of
the Comptroller of the American
Relief Administration covering ito
entire distribution of the comm"-
dities after they arrived at the Rus
sian ports of discharge. The whole
of this Recommendation has been in
depcndently audited. An Indication
of the amount of documentary cTA

NN one side of her family we're gen
erations of open-handed, fun-loying
individuals; on the other, a long
line of thrifty, serious minded Puritan
pioneers. As another contrast, she was
born in Burlington, Vermont, spent her
childhood in that state on a farm and in
a small village, and then finished growing
up in California.
Instead of allying herself with either
branch of her ancestry, she accepted in
heritance from both, and that, along with
the two dissimilar environments in which
she has spent her life is the secret of the
unfailing freshness and diversity with
which she invests the humdrum facts of
human existence. Her novel, 1.-THE Custard
Cup" is an amazingly excellent combina-
ton of humor and heart interest.

 CounciD
 l. A great majority of all work in automobile and truck repair shops is made necessary by improper or in- sufficient fabrication.
 ?. Every make of motor vehicle has it's own fabrication chart and drivers should be thoroughly familiar with charts that refer to their particular care There are certain lubricatinS rules that are general and important enough to be given special mention.
 3. Kind of lubricant to apply:
 q. Cylinder oil in crank case and oil cups.
 b. Cup grease in grease cups.
 c. A good transmission oil or semi = fluid grease in transmission Gin cold weather aeavy transmission oil may be thiuned with cylinder oil)
 d Transmission oil in rear axle case.
 e. Transmission oil or light cup grease in universal joints.
 1. How often should different parts be fabricated?
 a. If there is an oil indicator for the crank case, look at the oil level at least twice each day; if there is no indicator examine the oil level at least once each day; oftener on long runs. oil indicator. where used, should from time to time be exam ined carefully to see that 1t does. not become elogged up or stuck.
 5 Not less frequently than once each week oil spring bolts, clutch pedal, shaft. steering gear, radius rods. torque arm and other points as designated by the manufacturer.
 G. Every 500 miles, or at least once each month, oil tho brake mechan- ism. grease the universal joints and transmission, and differential. It Is especially important to change the oil in the crank case. for certain amount of gasoline is bound to work past the piston rings and dilute the lubricating oil. Examine withdrawn oil carefully Do not flush out the crank case with kerosene. It is not possible to remove all the kerosene after it is once poured in and enough may remain to do harm. Kerosene cuts the oil and keeps it from lubri- eating the engine properly. In cold weather when you are apt to use too much gasoline 1t may be advisable to change oil in crank case oftener than everw 500 miles.
 :. Once a month the wheels should be jacked up, bearing adjusted and greased with a gun.

 Rotary can teach the boys of the world that service must be above self, if the game of living is to be played in a mans way. With service above self, public responsibility will be placed before business smugness and satisfaction. Wealth will be regard ed as an opportunity for service.
 "The boys can be taught that hu- man personality is the most sacred creation of the universe. Not prop erty, but persons must be first in the eyes of the law.
 Truth must be honored above opln- ion. Let every man have his own opinion where the facts cannot be ob- tained. Let every man be tolerant of every mans opinion. Let every man label his opinion as an opinion and not as truth. Men can un-

 Enters Automobile Field.
 Then came the automobile. In 1889 MT. Willys was looking one day out of the window of Cleveland build four wheels crawling along the street No horse was attached to 1t, yet is looked exactly like car riage. Then and there MT. Willys said the machine had bicycles beat en hollow"
 At that time the total output of cars was less than 400 for the whole country. Later, MT. Willys bought a Pierce Motorette, which was fash toned like a carriage and powered with a FPnch motor about the size of hot water bottle. Soon after wards, Mr. Willys had talk with MT. Pierce in Buffalo and it was decided that MT. Willys was to have one of the first autom obiles that Mir. Pierce turned out, as the Pierce com pany was then experimenting with them. Later, MT. Willys bought a demonstrating car for $500 and the first year he sold two cars. From then on, things happened.
 In 1906 Mir. Willys formed the American Motor Sales company. with headquarters in Elmira, and this or Sanlzation took over the sale of the entire output of the American and Overland companies in Indianapolis. The Overland, at that time, had been in business six years, and in 1908 pro duced exactly 47 cars. Before the panic started in 1907, the Sales com pany had contracted to supply deal- CTS with 500 cars. Business was anxious to branch out, but the 500 cars could not be secured, and Mir. Willys went to Indianapolis to find out just what the trouble was Ar irving in that city on Saturday eve hing, he was told by the manager of the Overland company on Sunday morning that the concern was going into the hands of a receiver the next day.
 1He rest or the story reads like a romance. MT. Willys set himself to the seemingly impossible task of suc- coring the periled company, land he did 1t. That very Sunday Mir. Willys planned and executed money rais- ing campaign. The Overland com pany was actually short S35O and the money was successfullX> found to avert the threatened Monday morning crisis. Of course the S350 did not by nd pany to life. There was more work to do and for the next five weeks MT Willys hurried and scurried from In dianapolis to Chicago and New York and back again, frantically trying to finance the company.

 Today John N. Willys Is the same democratic, unaffected, exuberant and enthusiastic personality that he was in the days when he received his cheque fer s100 profit on the laundry deal at Seneca Falls.
 Wealth and success have not turned his head. He still works like a Tro- jan and has entered the era of the second million car with the same Zest and spirit of determination that has been characteristic of him from the beginning of his career.
