Selling the Old Car.

When it comes to selling the old
car or trading it in the average mo-
torist admits all the defects which
the prospect or dealer points out. and
the price or allowance figure goes
sagging as a consequence.
The prospective purchaser notes
that the car could stand painting.
promptly detects a carbon knock and
figures that at least two of the tires
will not see him through the season,
1T will cost me fortune to put her
in shape. he says. you're asking
too much money for it,
The owner. eager to turn the article
into cash and place his order for a
new car, takes the prospects word
for 1t and comes down on his price.
He allows the buyer about $500 for
what will actually cost about $3.50.
Suppose, on the other hand, the car
owner invests a little in the car as
means of effecting a. quicker sale and
at a better price. He gets the car
painted for $65, buys two new tires,
attaches a new bumper, covers the
old spares with tire covers. installs q
new floor mat and has the carbon
cleaned out. Seems like putting lot
of money into something he wants to
get rid Of. but it costs him only $3.50
or thereabouts and enables him to
sell the car for $500 more.
By investing little in the old car
he actually makes a profit on 1t. A
price and more bidders. The same
with a going" car. And. remember,
most people judge car by its ex-
ternals.

but can't see why the job of settin'
q new bulb in the lamp socket ought
to require care and time. They don't
seem to realize that every time new
bulb Is installed 1t rust be adjusted
to the right focal pogtion.
This. Is done by pullin' the bulb
and its socket forward or pushin' 1t
backward. The approved headlight
devices permit Of four focal adjust
ments. No. / being the commonest
You can find from your accessory
dealer just what focal adjustment
should go with your type Of lens.
I'm the case Of No. l focal adjust
ment, for example. the idea is to move
the lamp bulb forward or backwards
in its reflector until the circle of light
on wall twenty five feet ahead is
as small as possible, coverin' a point
representing the exact center of the
headlight projected. When you then
attach the lens the light should fall
below the line of the projected center.
The trouble with most people in
maxim this adjustment is that they
fail to see that the position of the
bulb Will remain permanent. Some
times the position of the bulb is
changed by turnin' 1t: in other cases
this is done by removin' the reflector
and changin' the position of the bulb
by loosenin' a set screw. In other
cars there is an outside adjustment
whereby the position or the rehector
is changed by means of an adjustin'
screw. Find out what type of device
you have before testin' the lights.
Some lenses require a certain tilt
per 100 feet and per 25 feet. Fords.
taking current from the f1ywheel
generator. for instance. must be given
an additional tilt of 1 foot per 100
feet. A thing. by the way. that most
people forget in testin' lights is to
focus the lights with the car loaded.
If this is not done the correct tilt
cannot be had, as the car in saggin'
at the rear will aim the light rays
above the proper and legal height"

The automobile could be improved
in number of ways that would make
1t easier to drive and, therefore,
safer. An emergency horn, for in
stance, would prevent many an acci-
dent that invariably follows when
destrian is warned too late. Some
drivers already use two horn buttons
for the sake OF convenience in sound
Ing the horn. but two complete horns
with Independent circuits would be
real improvement. Just another
suggestion would be a safety device
on the steering gear to prevent the
wheel from turning too sharply
something on the order of the safety
devices used on elevators. Many ac-
cidents are due to the sudden turning
of the wheels. and frequently to the
too sudden steering Of the inexpe-
rienced driver. A controlled steering
wheel would end this

Cars in the Night.

Washingtons interest in the matter
OF permitting all night parking of
cars on the city streets raises the
question as to what proportion of the
nations cars are night hawks. Ga
rage accommodations are so limited
in many localities that II Is common
to see five to ten out of twenty-five
cars belonging to tenants OF apart
ment houses left out all night In
addition to this there is considerable
travel on the highways all night
Trucking by night is regular thing,
while q number of tourists use the
wee hours in order to avoid conges-
tion and save time. Apparently the
automobile has grown up, and no
longer acts upon the suggestion of
the bedtime stories.

street cars. passing other cars on
curves, speeding, defective brakes, etc.
But the fundarS entail cause is overlook
ed. At the base of all this trouble is
the fact that certain people who are
driving do not appreciate the impor-
tance Of common sense.
Who are these people? Why are
they not classified as to type, studied
and refused driving privileges before
they have a chance to blot out a life
or ruin their own chances in life?
Certain types of people are not safe
at certain Jobs. That has been proved
in all walks of life. And, likewise,
certain types do not belong at the
wheel Of an automobile. They would
cause trouble If every railroad cross
ing were protected with dozen
safety devices. They would do the
wrong thing at the wrong time natu-
rally. All the opportunities for ac-
cidents and fatalities could be re-
moved. yet they would get into the
headlines somehow, for they are the
cause of trouble themselves.

Observations.

An experienced driver is one who
knows that 80 per cent OF his expert
ences are still ahead Of him.
The United States consumes three
fourths of the worlds rubber produc-
tion, most OF which goes into tires.
This explains why there is such a
high rate OF labor turnover. 1t is a
bouncing nation.
A governor on the engine is a handy
accessory to keep a check on sonny's
speed when the governor" isn't
around.
All men are born equal. 1t is said:

Did You Know

That the small tip on the nozzle of
the grease gun should always be
used when forcing grease into the
dinerential. transmission or other
major parts of the car requiring
heavy lubricant? In using such large
quantities. of grease-parricu cularly
where the work is done under the
car and where 1t is necessarily
messy-there is always a possibility
of getting some foreign matter into
the lubricant. Unless the small tip
Is used on the gun some Of this may
pass into the car unit and do serious
damage. This suggestion is given
mainly as a warning to those car
owners who feel that they are saving
time by removing the tip so that the
grease Will flow quicker

Two Touring Tips.

When stopping along the road don't
sit on the left side Of the car to rest.
One is likely to lean out Of the car
to stretch and get struck by objects
protruding from trucks and other
cars. Most drivers will pass closer to
a car that is stopped.

down. grade and block the wheels.

Broader Viewpoint.

One type of motorist is quite GER
tain that the country has just about
as many cars As It can stand. basing
his conclusions on conditions as he
observes them. Look at traffic." he
says. There's hardly a place to park
ones car: and the streets are sadly
congested."
Yes" replies another type OF
motorist, but have you been out
driving in the country lately? Would
you believe 1t. there are some places
where cars are still a rarity. Better
not talk about a saturation point until
the country roads look like the city

OF resisting a change until the car
has giowed down almost to a stand
still. When the engine Is pulling the
driving gears too vigorously, or when
the car itself is exerting varying
their teeth surfaces is not equal. This
causes sticking" and the diff1culty OF
pulling them out Of mesh. Speeding
up the engine a little will usually
tend to equalize these pressures.

Eases the Shock.

When going over rough spots in the
road 1t will ease the shock to feed
gas with the hand control while gent
ly applying the brake. The idea is
that under this arrangement the car
pulls when going into the holes and
when drawing out Of them. yet with
out coasting into them with a jolt.
BY keeping the speed of the car con-
slant the tolts are reduced to
minimum.

San Francisco, When public
dancing first came into vogue about
ten years ago, with the turkey trot,
dancing masters and other devotees OF
terpsichore declared that the craze was
but a passing fancy and that few
months would again find dancing con-
fined to private functions. How greatly
they were mistaken the world as
whole knows. Now dancing is I'M
ouestionably the most popular univer--
sal pastime, with steps created in New
York, New Orleans, Chicago or San
Francisco being stepped all over the
world, introduced into the capitals OF
the leading nations by the ever-moving
army of American tourists.
The worshippers of the great god
"Jazz" are legion, and always on the
lookout for new figures TO embody in
their dances, with the result that one
who Yesterday may have been con-
sidered the best Stopper in his or
her community, to-day may have no
standing as a dancer at all, having
failed to keep up with the overnight
changes suddenly introduced. New
dance steps are coming from the
Orient, being brought here by tourists
on the Pacific Mail Lines.
Though the majority of the dances
of the modern school, the Chicago,
"Balconades| and "roddle," are
American creations, either gotten up
BY professional dancers or expert anna
teurs, the inspiration for the steps on
which they are based, the rhythm Ct
the music to which they are danced
are, in the main, of foreign origin.
