HouU to Decide
Whether to Buy
NeU Spring Auto

To buy new or to rebuild and re-
paint, that is the question as spring
time nears. So, for the convenience
Of those who can't quite make UP
their minds, let the following analysis
serve as a guide:
Determine what the old car will be
worth traded in next year. Deduct
this from the probable price of new
car Of same make next year (allow
for slight increase). The difference,
plus the cost of repairs contemplated.
less a first years depreciation on a
new car, will show you the actual
cost of waiting for another year.
Compare, this with the actual cost of
Of buyine-now. which is determined
by adding the first years depreciation
to the acual cash difference beween
to the actual cash difference between
on the old car, less an estimated
amount for repairs unlikely with a
new car.
Then run down to the nearest sales
room and fall for the best car they've
got. You Only live once.

No. don't bother taking up the
slack in the fan belt these cold

Yes, cover the nickel trimming

some Sweating" on warmer days.
Hut why store the car? Didn't you
buy 1t for transportation?
No. there is no harm in choking

the engine is the valve-in-head

No. 37-Sued for Damages.

Having learned through previous
experience that it is always advisable
to cooperate in every way possible
with the insurance company, and
knowing that the physician who had
collided with him would endeavor to
present some sort of claim, Smith had
asked his repair man for an estimate
of the damage to both cars. Armed
with these facts. he was in better
position to answer the unreasonable
claim of 5000 for damages and $500
for loss Of use which the physicians S
lawyer had presented. Smiths repair
man said that 1t would not cost over
$500 to repair the doctors car and
that the work could be done in four
days. Thus the loss-of-use item of
the claim could be cut to 500, since
a car could be hired for $25 day.
This Information Smith put to one
side, and then wrote a letter TO tne
claim might be considered were Il no
for the fact that tie physician W.
entirely to blame for the collision
and that there were witnes: es 20
prove it,. Smith then presented a
his own car. In doing this Smith com
piled with one of the most impt r ant
rules of law-he did not admit la
bility.
After he had written this letter he
came around to see me, with a view
to asking the next step.
Advise Insurance Agent.
Now is the time to call up your
Insurance agent and advise him that
you have claim to make under your
f,,1 licin T g-
gested AT the same time send no.
tice to the home office of the insur-
ance company, together with brief
statement of loss. You might also ad-
wise your agent that the other party
has already presented claim against
you and that you probably will have
use for the protection which your
liability policy affords"
Smith departed and was not heard
from until the next day. when nc
called me over to his Office show
me some of the literature which the
adiuster had left for him to sign.
That's merely your proof of loss,
! explained. according to the state
ment attached to it. the adjuster has
approved your garage mans estimate
have your signature witnessed ny
notary public and send the proof OF
loss back to the adiuster. Within
reasonable length of time, probably
sents his bill, the draft will be through
from the insurance company.
SubroGntiOn Receipt Explained.
But what's this for?" Smith asked
pointing to form of agreemen
which l recognized as Il subrogatioI
receipt. THE adjuster thanked mt
for giving him the real estimate t.
repair the other car. and said I shoult
sign this so that his company couit
sue the doctor if there was a chance
Why do / have to sign this?"
IF you didn't sign it, I explained,
"and if you We're dishonest, you Nigh
sue the doctor yourself. And if yol
succeeded, you would therefore re
ceive what would amount to double
Indemnity"
Just then a letter arrived FOL
Smith. 1t was from the physician:
attorney, and from the legal appear
ance of the contents it was evident
that Smith was about to be sued.
I'll just send this on to the cas-
ualty company which insured me ane
let them take care of it," Smith said

SOFT CONNECTING RODS.

Connecting rods get soft when

have Il habit of getting out of line,
an engine knock similar to a piston

trouble-if only tcmporarily-is to
straighten the connecting rods again.
But the more a rod is Strengthened

AIDS CLIMBING POWER.

When your car does some remark
able piece of slow hill climbing in
high" don't be too ready to lavish
praise upon it: there may be some
thing wrong with II.
Bear this in mind: If the engine
pulls exceptionally well when being
driven uphill slowly it should pull
equally well when driven fast. If it's
power seems to be confined to slow
pulling you're not likely to be wrong
in suspecting that the timing is late.
Late timing will improve slow hill
climbing very much as very advanced
timing will improve speed. In the
former case the engine will lack
speed; in the latter, it will lack pow

SELLING, MAIN PROBLEM.
Easier to Build Auto Than Dispose
of It, SAYS Hausmann.

CHICAGO. March 15.-Merchandis-
ing is the basic problem of the auto
mobile industry. according to T. l.
Hausmann, president of the reor-
ganiz"d T"mp.ar Motor Car Company
of Cleveland. in an address here.
There are no secrets in the auto
mobile business" said Mr.. Hausmann.
"Any organization with ability and
experience can build good automo-
bile. The whole problem of the In
dustry centers in merchandising. Sue
cessful merchandising consists in
giving the public what 1t wants at a
fair price and in the way it wants 1t.
which latter includes personal and
other service to which the public is
entitled when it invests its money.
Success in any kind of business
depends on two things. one is in
innate knowledge and vision of the
market and public demands. The
other is ability to build up an or
ganization composed of strong per-
sonalities."

GalileO's Pendulum Honors
 Claimed for Inventor

Wetzlar, Germany, Aug. 15.-His- tory is all wrong when 1t credits Calico Galilei with having invented the pendulum. according to pr. Welt mann, keeper Of the public archives Of this city. In his opinion 1t was Jobst Bodeker of Warburg, wsstpha- lia. who constructed the first centri- fugal pendulum.
 The instrument invented by Bodek. CT was made in 157S, while Galilefs pendulum is recorded as having been constructed in 1s33. Bodeker's clock with pendulum was but short lived, however. After being installed in the cathedral at Osnabruck it had to be nursed along from tim to time by the inventor, and after his death 1t soon came to full stop.
 Dr. Veltmann bases his contention upon documents he has found in the archives under his care.
