What Smith meant was that in one

made the pistons knock. And In an
other position the spark arrived too
late (too retarded). thus firing the
mixture in the cylinders when the
pistols were travelling down. 1t

when a man sets out to have a
home built for his family" says Capt
Horton, "he spends much of his time
studying the details of its construction.
He discusses various points with his
architect, the contractors and the
workmen- He soon discovers that a
house is more than four walls and a
roof, and it isn't very many days be-
fore he begins to appreciate what a
great amount of energy goes into the
making of a modern home. When he
moves in and commences using it he
is constantly reminded of this fact,
treating the home accordingly.

"As n matter of fact, many owners
treat their cars to a full day of
service by driving to the service sta
ton in the morning and calling for
the car at night, the service depart
ment frequently arranging to trans
port owners back to their offices If
the distance happens to be excessive.
The owner is not inconvenienced by
reason of the servicing of the car
and he reaches the end of the day
in the knowledge that he has done
justice to himself by doing justice to
his car.
Experience shows that the car
that is used enjoys more genuine at
tention because it gives its owner
more opportunities for visiting the
shop without inconveniencing those
who are dependent upon IT for trans
portation. Using cars for transpor-
tation to and from business has been
an important contribution in this di-
rection.
The proof Of the pudding is in the
fact that fewer and fewer cars are
giving trouble when pressed into
long distance service Through use
they are enabled to enjoy the expert
attention which renders them much
more useful in the long rum

to Owner.

Motorists would put higher valua-
ton on their cars and make a greater
effort to keep them in better condi-
tion if they could witness the vast re-
sources and effort required to build
just one car, in the opinion Of Capt.
Harry NJ. Horton. local Stutz dealer.
If all motorists, he says, could make
a trip to the factory there would be an
entirely different attitude toward the
matter of car ownership, each owner
taking the sort of pride in his car that
ne takes in his home when he watches
1t in process of construction.

He had decided that the engine was

the task of changing the position OF

the ignition would be made and

CARS IN BUSINESS

Former Custom of Hunting

! Made Trouble.

Using cars for transportation to
and from business Offices has result
ed in keeping the average car in
better mechanical condition, accord
ing to a survey of local conditions
made by the service committee of the
Washington Automotive Trade AsSo-
citation.
The committee points out that, with
so many cars downtown for the day.
owners are more inclined to take
their machines to service stations for
minor adjustments and repairs that
forestan more serious trouble.
Ii a bulletin on the subject issued
by the committee it is declared that
the convenience of having the car
handy has enabled thousands OF local
motorists to keep their cars the way
they would like to have them, and
that the day is rapidly passing when
motorists arrive at Saturday after
noon with the car out of commission
because they have not had time to
have something done to it.
Contrasting present conditions with
those prevailing not so many years
ago, the W. y. T. y. bulletin adds:
Awaited Opportunity.
I'm the old days before father took
the car to work he was ever on the
lookout for an opportunity to have
his brakes adjusted, the chassis lu-
bricated or the valves ground in.
Every day it was the same story--he
did not have time 70 see that the
car received attention. When the
week came to a close he would either
pass Sunday resolving not to let It
happen again or cut down his use
of the ear over the week end by
spending every available moment
looking for some stray mechanic who
was willing to work overtime.
Usually the car owner paid dearly
for such ineXpert repair work and
100 often he was inclined to go off
on his trip without attending to inn
portant car-care matters beforehand.
1t wasn't unusual for him to come
home at the end of a tow rope.

Another Chinese who had been
