Motorists who buy cars to keep

Many motorists never use one

that they could afforx to live In great

WARNS REGARDING SALE
OF AUTOS ON TIME PLAN
Manager of Association of Dealers
Sees Disposition. to Extend
Credit Indefinitely.

Warning to automobile dealers to
exercise greater care in their selec-
tlon OF customers to whom they sell
automobiles on time payment is con-
tained in a communication addressed
TO the trade by g. A. Nanc general
manager of the National Automobile
Dealers Association, just sent out
The warning is occasioned by dis.
position by dealers TO extend credit
terms from the customary maximum
Of 10 and II months to Is and "a and
requiring very little down payments.
The experience of the association in
recent months in repossessing auto
mobiles for members is cited as the
specific cause for the communication
at this time.
During 1928 members of this or
Eanlzation, Eane declares, reporte ed
1o2 cases with s36.34351 DELINQUENT
or in unpaid balances. or this
amount 27.746.04 was collected or
the cars were repossessed During
the first six months of 1924 we have
vestigation with $36.307sS delinquent
or In unpaid balances. OF this amount
there has been repossessed for oup
dealers or collected $21,sS4.06 These
nSureS are not in themselves signifi-
cant. but they indicate a trend that
needs attention.
An automobile should never be
sold with a down payment smaller
than 3o per cent and the entire sale
should be cleared up in 10, certainly
NOT later than IL months. Any dealer
VINO sells an automobile with a small
er down payment, or who extends
longer credit, is not only gambling
his own future. but is underminine

Anent Your New Motor.

How to break in the engine Of the
new car without feeling that every
one thinks you've got a Lemon" just
because you don't hit II up seems to
bother a lot of motorists. In order to
avoid such embarrassment 1T is
sometimes annoyance they invari-
ably resign themselves to driving
through traffic which. as wiser car
owners know, is not the best thing
for a new car In tranic the driver Is
likely to misuse the engine when in
low or second gear. He is likely to
force it in high without half realiz-
ing it, The sensible thing to do Is to
run the car out on the side-yard
driveway, jack up the rear wheels.
start the engine. place the gears In
high and let II run at what would be
equivalent TO a speed Of twenty miles
an hour. Occasionally speed 1t up
little or let it idle. Get in 1t and shift
gears Stop 1t, start II and run 1t in
reverse for awhile. Five hours of
this will put the car safe through Its
first hundred miles, timber II up and
reveal to you whether the charging
rate is right, whether the oil pump Is
on the job, and, in short. whether the
car is ready for the sort OF work it
must do in actual service even il you
are cautious with 1t.

T,oelve-Cylinder Ford Motor liberated

The engine was completed July Is.
1918, while the doughboys were MAX
ing things hot for the Heinies and
American factories were turning from
peace-time products to engines of
war. Maj. II. H. Arnold, comma nding
officer of the Rockwell air inter-
mediate depot at Coronado. witnessed
the final test Of the motor. II was
shipped to France, but received there
too late to take part in the war.
From France IL was reshipped TO
the United States and after reposing
in an Army warehouse for some time
was sent across the country to the
Pacific Coast and shipped to the
Philippines. From the Philippine
Islands II was sent back, crate and
all, to Rockwell Field, where it had
been in storage until opened recently
by workmen at the depot who were
uncrating a De Haviland "A plane.

by it's number as being the one he
had inspected six years ago in De-

Worth Remem mbering.

The front wheels should never cut
under SO far as to cause the tires to
scrape against the inside of the front
tenders. IL there are marks under
the fender, better have some one
look over the front assembly. The
wheels can be adjusted to cut SO far
and no farther
Before sending the car to have the
brakes refined it is well to squirt a
little kerosene on the clevis pins and
brake band adjustment nuts each
day for a week or so in advance.
This will eliminate much of the rust
and make 1t easier for the repairer
to get the work done without delay
ing over rusty and frozen" parts.
Motorists who are careful to keep
the tenders of their cars well polished
are often puzzled when rust holes ap-
pear. This is the result of failing to
clean the underside of the Tenders and
paint them now and again with black
enamel Many a fender is eating it

When a motorists Henrietta starts
to smoke and shimmy he In certainly
justified in looking around for new
Highways Not at Fault.

What have our improved highways
to do with the great increase in auto
mobile fatalities?
This is a question that may come
in for considerable discussion. ac-
cording to some observers who seem
to see in the broad. smooth expanse
of concrete a great temptation to be
careless. In referring to a new road
under construction in the Berksire
Hills of Massachusetts, a hotel man
used the term killer" as expressing
the type of road beng built.
He said that the old road had al
ways been source of danger because
of local habit of trying to break
road Joined together. The new road
would be sure to be a killer" he
said, for the reason that every one
who passed over 1t would go the
limit
1t is important to note, however,
that majority of the fatal auto aoci-
dents are happening within city linn
its on streets where motor traffic is
constantly policed, even elimina ting
those accidents that involve pedes-
TRANS. If an old highway is dan
gerous for motor vehicles travelling
80 miles an hour, a new and improved
highway should be no more dam
gerous for the same vehicles travel
ing So. The case is clearly one of
local restriction of speed and ef-
fective enforcement of safety laws.
killer" highways are apparently
a delusion. occasioned by failing to
keep in mind that good road cannot
compensate for laxity in motor We
hicle regulation. If accidents are in
creasing with the improvement in
roads it is a foregone conclusion that
regulations are deceasing in enec-
tiveness. Any improved road ought
to be safer for a brand of careless
ness that is no worse than what was
diplayed on an unimproved road.

Four Touring TIPS.

Stretch your limbs when the driver
has stopped to replenish his gas sup
ply or to oil up. 1t saves time by
combining your stops.
II your neck begins to feel sore
from the bobbing Of the car. try
holding 1t with the head turned to
one side. In this position the neck is
no longer flexible. which means that
some other part Of the body will be
obliged to take up the bobbing mo-
ton. 1t is the change that helps to
rest you.
Don't stop at the top Of the hill
to let the engine cool of. Go on
down to the bottom on the other side
so that 1t can be cooled of tmmedi-
ately and without losing time.
When In doubt about the way and
obliged to drive around until you find
a farmer who can give information,
always drive back over the road you
have been traversing, rather than
going ahead on strange one. You're
less likely to get confused over a
road you have just been over.

BRAKE EFFICIENCY TEST.
Variations During Long Motor
Trip Accounted For.

The variation In the efficiency Of
the brakes when on a long trip is due
to several things. but the condition Of
the brake lining is perhaps the most
important. Sometimes the lining will
become polished, in which case the
brakes will not be very efficient. In
other instances the lining may be
"roughed up" in which case the
brakes will suddenly begin to be
more effective. Generally speaking,
the dragging Of the brakes or long
application of them down long grades
will cause the lining to become pol
ished, whereas a few sudden applica-
tions Of the brakes will rough up the
Innings Road dust and water will
alter these conditions.
