MODERNISTS ARE
RAGING ON In
CHURCH FIGHT

NEW YORK. Dec. 1s.-Modern-
lists still held the center of the
stage in their fight to liberalize the
Episcopal church here today.
Bishop William I. Manning of
the Episcopal Diocese of New York
denied himself to interviewers and
refused to comment OH the insurrec-
tion within his church, apparently
awaiting official reports on sermons
preached last Sunday in which Lib
erals defied him and all other fun
damentalists.
The bishop would not even com
ment on the sermon of DR.. Leighton
Parks in which the rector defied him
to bring charges of heresy and pub
lie avowed his belief in the modern
ist doctrines which do not admit the
virgin birth of Christ.
1 AS .an indication of the bitterness
scf thought within the church Dr.
Karl Reiland, rector of st. George s
declared that a drive for $15,000,-
600 for cathedral is practically
dead, as far rs liberal churchmen
are concerned.

LONG MILEAGE FOR
OAKLAND CARS
Crankshaft Bearings Are Said
to Run 40, 900 Miles With
out Adjustment.

AS a result of one year of sue
cess with their original written
Is ,000-mile guarantee against excess
oil in the combustion chamber
which has cost the company but a
fraction of a cent per car-the Oak
land Motor Car. Company, Pontiac,
Mich, announces a further mileage
plan, the most comprehensive ever
offered by any automobile company.
The 15,000-mile guarantee was the
first step to give the public a def
| mite gauge-a mileage gauge-by
which to judge automobile value.
Due to the success of this guar
antee and exhaustive factory, road
and laboratory tests, backed by the
experience of thousands of owners
of these cars, the company offers
basis plan" for their 1928 models.
The main feature of this new
unique plan are as follows:
/. The Oakland main crankshaft
bearings will run 10000 miles or
more without adjustment or replace
ment.
2. Oakland valves will function
properly for $4,000 miles or more
without grinding.
8. Connecting rod bearings will
run 10000 miles or more without
Tightening or repair.
4. Cylinders, pistons and piston
rings will give no trouble for at
least Is, 900 miles. The special writ
ten guarantee now in effect cover
ing this mileage will be continued
in the 1923 cars.
5. The cars will average, in daily
use, from twenty to twenty-five
miles per gallon of gasoline.
6. Tires will average from Is, 900
to $4,000 miles.
Z. Transmission, axles, frames,
steering gears, body and other
major parts will endure for the life
of the car.
These figures, according to Ben
jamin Jerome, chief engineer, are
minimum calculations, under ordi-
nary proper care, and in every in
stance the items enumerated can
| reasonably be expected to give the
owner even greater mileage than
the engineering department esti-
mates.
This mileage basis plan has
been announced by the Oakland
Motor Car Company after due de-
liberation" states Jerome, due to
its firm belief that the average
motor car purchaser is entitled to
know what an automobile should do.

with this thought in mind the
Oakland Motor Car Company de-
cided, after many tests, that they
would present to the public a fair
plan, showing just what they might
expect Of these cars.
IF the instructions given with
the car are followed, our set of
figures will prove conservative. We
have understated the case, except
of course, in those instances when
the cars are actually abused in
driving.

CLOSURE IS NEW
!. WESCOTT MODEL
Said to Combine Comforts of
Closed Car With Advan-
tages of Open.

One of the most interesting mod
els of the year is shown by the
Westcott Motor Car Company, n
new development in closed car con-
struction called the Westcott Clos
ure.
Sales managers say that the new
model was developed in an effort
TO provide closed car comfort and
Yet have a car that would answer
all the arguments of the very con-
siderable percentage of the buyers
who still cling to the open car.
During the last few years there has
been a very large trend toward the
closed model. However. in re-
cent investigation made by the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, it was proved that still
about 40 per cent of the buyers
prefer open cars and give seven
very logical reasons for their
choice
First, better performance on poor
roads. Second, lower first cost,
lower upkeep and lower deprecia-
ton. Third, the lighter weight of
the open car. Fourth, absence of
top heavfness enabling it to cling
to the read. Fifth, greater adapt
ability for farm and business. use
Sixth, more air. Seventh, more
adaptable for touring.
For the past sixty days, demon
stration models of the new Closure
/ have been in the hands of Westcott
dealers and distributors and they
have been asked to find out how
completely this new model answers
these seven arguments for the open
car.
Answers received from them seem
/. to show that closed car has now
been produced which combines all
of the comfort and weather protec-
ton of the standard styles of closed
bodies and in addition has every
one OF the advantages which have
caused a considerable percentage
Of. buyers to still prefer the open
car.

At this season of the year when
rain, sleet, snow and mud make up
the everyday lot of most American
motorists, a few words on the value
of cleanliness and the best methods
of achieving it may be of value.
To begin with at this time many of
us are considering the possibility
of turning in our old cars for new
ones and a shabby car has only a
1.-THE of the value of one that is
well kept The average buyer of a
used car has learned that outward
shabbiness is fair indication of me-
chanical abuse and acts accordingly
in bargaining.
A mistake that most of us are
prone to make is to assume that we
can let the car go for considerable
periods of bad weather and then
have a grand house cleaning and
bring the old boat back to it's pris-
tine luSter. AS a matter of fact the
mud which is so literally spattered
on the car at this time of the year
usually contains a percentage of
allxali, which permanently impairs
the varnish if it is allowed to re-
main. The motorist should, there
fore, clean the car thoroughly once

it oftener. If the car gets an extra
bad scattering at any time, give it
an immediate cleaning.

painted and vanished surfaces

Many car owners employ a sponge
or a chamois in washing their cars.
Either of these is excellent if !trob-
erly used: but may be turned into
regular sandpaper massage if it
is not correctly used. In using a
sponge or cl1amois, the material
should be kept dripping wet all
the time and should be rinsed out
thoroughly every few minutes, TO
| prevent dirt or grit adhering to
he wiper. A good plan is to use
the sponge with one hand and d.
ect a stream of water on the
body with the other.
When the body. has been cleapsed

Polishing with a dry channels is
all that is needed, especially when
the finish is new.
Tar and road oil are two SUBJ
stances that make trouble when
they secure Judgement on the

used to soften the tar, when it
may be picked off with a cloth.
There are many excellent body
polishes on the market nowadays,
reducing the effort of keeping the
car looking new, to a mere for
mality. Some of these polishes
are in the form of wax to be ap-
piled with hubbing and others are
liquid to be sprayed on the body.
