Some Things You Should Do Before
 Winter

Your car has no doubt seen a good deal of service during the past summer and therefore deserves a little consid- eration before you subject it to the rigors of winter driving.
 A locomotive, you know, goes into the shop for check-up after each trip, but an automobile is fortunate if it gets proper attention twice year. Your car should be given careful inspec- tion, preferably by an authorized dealer, before cold weather sets in.
 Change transmission and axle oil while weather is mild.
 See if brakes need refining or ad- justment.
 Replace missing oiling devices and lubricate all around.
 Look tires over for breaks that should be vulcanized.
 Is battery full of electrolyte and prop erly charged?
 Clean battery terminals by washing with boiling water.
 Check breaker point and spark plug gaps.
 Clean out water system, installing new hose if old is at all worn.
 Repack water pump.
 Drain gasoline tank and thoroughly clean strainer and gas lines.
 See that --ot air connection is in operation.
 Clean out oil pan, oil lines and strainer on oil suction line.
 Tighten car an over.
 Repair any top or side curtain re- fleets and see that curtain fasteners are intact.

Minstrel Sees Girl He
Married Fifty
years Ago

HlDGEF1ELD PARK, N. j.,
April 9--John r. Norrisw, an
old-time black-face minstrel,
saw for the first time in fifty
years yesterday the woman he
married when she was a four
teen-year-old school girl who
listened readily to love songs
sung to the music of his banjo.
The girl was then Elizabeth
Myers. of New Brunswick, N.
j., and she is now Mrs. Eliza
beth Norris, of Ridgefield Park,
N. j. The reunion which took
place at the home Of their son,
William H. Norris, of Fourth
street, Ridgefield Park, followed
thirty years effort to discover
the whereabouts of his father,
whom he had not seen since he
was a year old.
The elder Norris met Eliza
beth Myers at a time when his
stage career was temporarily
suspended. After short court
ship they ran away and mar
ried. They returned to her
home, where a child was born,
and a year later, when his bride
was fifteen, Norris proposed
that they both go on the stage.
The young wife did not share
Norris enthusiasm for vaude-
vile and it ended by his leav-
ing alone. That was the last
she saw or heard of her hus-
band until today. She obtained
a divorce in 1874 and in later
years moved to Ridgefield Park.

The District Commissioners have

MOON ADOPTS DUco
AS BODY FINISHING

Moon has adopted the new Duco
system of body finishing and is
using this latest development in
body finish on all models of their
Series "A" cars, according to an
announcement just made by Carl
w. Burst, vice president and works
manager of the Moon Motor Car
Company.
Therefore Moon now offers the
automobile buyer beautiful cars in
the popular marine-blue color, fin
ished in the most improved way,
so that they will retain their beauty
and newness much longer than cars
finished in the ordinary way.
Moon is, using what might be
called a super Duco" system of
finishing their cars, which is a
step farther in the direction Of a
more practical and superior body
finish. Moon applies a coat of fin
ishing varnish over the Duco, pro-
ducing a high luster finish and
giving Moon cars a finish that is
practical, long wearing and beauti-
full as well.
Moon commenced using Duco
early in January, when their new
lower-priced Series "a" cars were
put into production, and contem-
plate using it on all models.

GREAT TRAFFIC

Whitney Leary Explains That
Congestion Will Not Reduce
Purchases ofFAutos.

I'm these days when city plan
ming engineers describe the triple
decked streets for traffic relief in
the city of the future, the man
who has enough money to buy an
automobile wonders whether con-
gestion isn't so great that he had
better put his money into something
else" says Whitney Leary, Of
H. B. Leary,1 jr., distributors of the
Chrysler and Maxwell motors.
THE truth is that our cities
haven't begun to use Immediately
available means Of relieving traffic
congestion. The experimentation Of
traffic is just one instance. Imagine
what would happen on Fifth avenue.
New York, or Michigan Boulevard,
Chicago, If an attempt were to be
made to have each traffic officer
at each street crossing direct the,
movement of cars regardless of
how traffic was moving a block
away. In less than it takes to
tell it, there would be absolute con-
fusion.
