AVERAGE MQTOR|ST
USES TOO MUCH GAS
Auto College Man Says Mix
ture Can Be Cut by
. Experiments.

Every car owner likes to keep
his expense as low as he reasonably
can and it is really surprising to
what a small figure the costs can
be cut by consistent saving.
The bills for gasoline and tires
are the two big items in the outlay
Tor keeping the car running. They
are, then, the obvious first points
of attack in any attempt to cut
down expenses.
The first place to cut down fuel
consumption is at the carburetor.
Here occur most OF the leaks that
increase fuel consumption. The
average car owner drives with 4
mixture nearly twice as rich as is
necessary. The modern engine will
run on a mixture ranging from
about fourteen parts air to one Of
gasoline, to one containing only
eight parts air to one OF gas. But
the engine will do It's best work
when the mixture is as lean as pos.
sible. While it burns the heavier
mixture, 1t does not operate with
the snap and vim It displays on
the leaner fuel.
/ Virtually all modern carburetors
have an attachment for increasing
land decreasing the amount Of air
injected into the mixture. It is q
very simple matter to experiment
with this adjustment. first making
the mixture az lean as possible and
gradually turning back until ex-
actly the right proportions OF gas
| to air have been found for salts
factory operation. In addition TO
4 the benefits of greater economy
with the leaner mixture this condi-
ton also cuts down carbon de.
posts.
However, the carburetor is not
the end OF the search for possible
fuel leaks. After the carburetor
has been properly adjusted to sup.

fuel system ought to be gone over

Show me your company and I'll
tell you who you are. So it is with
the motor car.
The average owner starts out IN
the spring very fussy about the
high polish on his new car. or his
new paint 'job.' But after a few
rain storms, there are many VINO

the glossy finish dies Of premature
old age. This may be due to lasf-
ness, to much thrift, or downright
carelessnesS.
However, remember, il you are
guilty of such neglect your business
associates, customers and friends may
Judge you harshly. Regardless Ct
this, you are going to lose more in
dollars and cents than keeping up
appearances would cost. when you
go to trade the old bus in on a new
one, or offer it for sale.
Therefore, don't forget 1t is just
as important to keep up the appear
ance of your car as 1t is to keep your
suit, neatly pressed or shoes from
running down at the heel.
Keepin up. appearances should not
end on the Surface. Chassis parts
should receive the same attention.
1t is no credit to man who keeps
his car highly polished on the outside
not to have the old wagons lingerie
well laundered.
However, it is a two-to-one shot
that the man who keeps her highly
polished on the surface will never he

Dealing first with the surface ap'

on the average open car and add
more than $3.50 to the appearance.
Surface appearance IS the CHIEF value

In 1917 John McAteer of the McAteer Shpbuildng Co.,
got contract from the department for the consruc

Especially is this true when bears in mind that in

everything else in town-he was in fact so commanding
position that he urged to run for mayor (untl it
was found that he was ineligible because he not an

is it any wonder that with all these responsibilities he
was unable to look after his private business?
One OF his best friends is fond of quoting: Had but

not IN mine age have left RE naked to mine enemies"
This may may not be pertinent to the suation--bu
thing is sure
If Waterhouse had not made such phenomenal profits in

weathered for long it did the losses that it suffered
