INVESTIGATE FIRM
 WHEN BUYING CAR
Reliability Of Concern Is I'm.
 pOrtant Factor

If the average car buyer would leave all sentiment out of the deal he would more often find complete sat isfaction in ownership" says Bill Pape of Mccormack Bros.
 "A shrewd purchasing agent consid- CTS not only the item on his requisition but all conditions of use as well. Local responsibility for any mechanism is one of the most valuable things the seller delivers. Especially is this true of an automobile.
 "The buyer of any car should most carefully consider all the local condi- tions under which he will operate the car. That car will serve him best which s backed and supported by an adequate and responsible local dealer organization"

 Bus lines are operated constantly be- tween Medina and Mecca and between Jidda and Mecca.
 Medina, with a population of 10000 is S20 miles south of Damascus, It is famous as the refuge of Mahomet on his emigration from Mecca. It is a re- nowned place in the Moslem world and journeys are made to it by Moslem pilgrims because of the presence there of Mahomet's tomb. It is surrounded by high stone wall, with towers, and four gateways.
 From Medina to Mecca by the inland or high road, the route which the motor cars follow, is 24S miles. Cars are operated at second speed, running axle deep in sand. They carry seven pas sengers and luggage and charge $100 for the trip, which is made in about 26

 As pilgrimages are held all the year round the bus line is busy constantly. During the hajj, the pilgrimage at the time of the great annual feast, the line is taxed beyond it's capacity.
 Every Moslem who is his own master and has the means is supposed to make the pilgriamge to Mecca during his lifetime, especially on the ninth day of Arafa, the last month of the Arab year. That is the time of the great an- nual feast. The Moslem who has made that pilgramage may call him hajj.
 Those who own the bus line are plan ming to obtain more Maxwell cars. The number of cars at present is insuffi- cient to meet the demand for transpor- tation.

STEERING GEAR HOUSING
 ADVICE

In lubricating part of the steering mechanism it should be remembered that often the joints are exposed to dirt and water and it follows that after a rain, water may have made its way into the ports which use grease. This ap- plies particularly to the ball joints of the drag link and the bearings of the cross rod. Even though leather boots may be used to cover some of these parts, water will work it's way inside and some times destroy the effects of the grease. Should there be little or no grease at these points it will mean rusting in time and eventual failure of the parts.
 The steering gear housing should be removed at least once a year, giving it a thorough cleaning and repacking with fresh lubricant.
