THREE-CAR GARAGE
CONSTRUCTION URGED
Washington Automotive Trade As
sociation Advises Motorists Who
Own Homes.
SPACE DEMANDS INCREASING.
Rental Will Cover Depreciation
and Necessary Upkeep.

Every motorist who plans the con-
struction of a new home should fig
urc on erecting a threc-car garage.
This messaggc, offered by the
Washington Automotive Trade Asso-
citation, is viewed as being particu-
Iarly valuable as a suggestion to the
home builder at this time, when
many are finding the two-car garage
inadequate.
The private garage, il is pointed
out, should be designed not only TO
enable the owner to save garage
charges. but to bring in enough rental
10 cover depreciation and necessary
upkeep.
"This has worked out well enough
with the two-car garage in the past.
says a recent w. a. T. A. bulletin,
but with so many people now oper-
atinC two cars to a. family they are
being deprived of a revenue which
would have been theirs had they eXer-
cised a little more foresight in build
ing. 1t is 3 tip TO those who are GO
ing to build new homes to keep IN
mind the fact that every family OF
normal means will soon have TWO
cars or perhaps three.
Private Garage In Demand.
The private garage is in demand
not merely pN It's ON IlcTS- pul Wy
apartment house dwelerS as we'll
The great increase in apartments is
resulting in demand for garage
space. thus representing an excellent
market for the home builder who is
wise enough to invest a little more
IN his private garage, so as to be
ahle to accommodate one or two ex-
rental basis
Even where a man feels that he
can afford only one car for the time
being II is good policy to have ac-
commodationS for three cars. One OF
the spaces he should rent out to a
steady and if he cannot find a mo-
torist TO rent the third space he
should figure that the time will come
when a second car in the family will
readily occupy the spare room. In
when visitors cars can be accommo
dated in the extra stall or when
neighbors will be glad TO rent the
space temporarily for the accommo
dation of cars owned by persons Wis
iting them.
Just as it was formerly considered
poor judgment to erect a one-car
garage, now it is considered equally
unwise to build the private garage
without considering the trend of the
times. There are some instances
where motorists have built four-car
garages only to be able to laugh at
culed them. A wise motorist builds
his garage for the future in very
much the same way as he selects
his car"

RAPS USE OF KEROSENE.
Experts Recommend Fresh Oil for
Flushing Purposes.

Car owners are gradually coming
20 realizc that it doesn't pay to flush
out the oiling system with kerosene.
IN fact. experts are advising against
t If kerosene is used it means that
some of il will remain in the troughs
nd thus dilute the fresh oil that is
added. 4 way to obviate this and
at the same time flush out the system
IS to substitute a quart of fresh oil
for the Kerosene. Unless the engine
IS in very bad condition this will help
10 get out every drop of old oil-and
some or the dirt which may have
accumulated-withou the danger of
diluting the fresh oil which is later
put into the engine to stay for Il
while.

Keep This in Mind.

When a clutcl, drags a bit the main
driving gear does not stop spinning
promptly enough for a quick shift to
Tow in starting. One way to over
come this annoyance is to hold the
clutch out and keep the car in low
gear, but it is a very dangerous proc
ess. Should the drivers foot slip off
the clutch the machine would dart
forward and perhaps run into a pc
destrian. The safer way is to hold
the clutch out and keep the gears in
reverse. Almost as quick a start is
had with none of the risks of the
other method.

III the white land owner comes
in and lays his cards on the table,

expense of the land owner will be
light. That is the quickest way
to comply with the law and break
the lease, as the lease between the
Japanese and the land owner is ille-
gal. The state, however has right
TO step In and break the contract"
The process involved. according
to Colvin, is for the state to escheat
the lease. then to sell II 10 the
highest bidder. II no American
citizen offers to buy the lease 1t Is

person buying lease from the
