banner bearing the name of MaSsa-

al different marcher. 1t Wobbled and
sQuirmed about through the densely
crowded aisle like a great white and

Before Removing Fender
Put Kerosene on Bolts

The automobile repairer bases his
charges for installing new fender
mainly on the time he spends trying to
remove the old one. And the car
owner will discover that the frozen"
nuts and bolts which hold the fender
in place will prevent most of the diff
ficulty encountered in this sort Of
work. The rule is to squirt kerosene
over the fender bolts just before try
ing to loosen them with the screw
driver. But the rule is not always the
logical way to do things. A great deal
of time will be saved by giving the
fender bolts a Kerosene bath the night
previous to the day the work is to be
done. In the morning much of the
rust will have been removed and the
bolts will turn much easier. for the
kerosene will have had ample time to
do its share of the work.

Points for Motorist to
Watch on Slippery Days

To prevent skidding, number of
points should be observed in both ope-
ration and care of car. Before ven
turing out in slippery streets with a
car the engine should be in smooth
running order the clutch should dis
engage easily and freely and engage
without suddenly grabbing. The brakes
should be adjusted so that they take
hold sufficiently to stop the car, but
will not lock the wheels except when
additional pressure is exerted. They
should also take hold evenly at both
wheels, because If they do not sure
swerve of the machine to the side of
the tightest brake will result. A car
which does not have both front and
rear wheels in line will not efficiently
hold the road in wet weather, especial
ly when brakes are applied. This lat
ter trouble may be due to sprung axles,
front or rear; rear axle housing out of
true or a sprung frame.

Concrete Curing Means
Highways at Less Cost

To save labor and speed up the
work, a method of concrete curing has
been invented. The chemical prepare
ton used is light dust substance and
is applied by sitting 1t from a hopper
on the rear of truck on which sup
ply of the material is carried. 1t alb
serbs moisture from the air and pre-
vents drying out of the cement. One
man can treat long stretch OF road
In one day. One or two treatments
with the material each season are said
to be effective in laying the dust by
binding together the particles that may
have accumulated ON gravel or mac
adamized roads.

TREATY YOUR CAR
WITH affection
Fact That 1t Is Inanimate
Thing Is Lost Sight of
by Considerable Owner.

INV ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
lege OF Automotive Engineering ChicagoD
Mans tendency to ascribe a person
atty to his automobile is in no way
surprising. It is just natural out
growth of his innate love of pets.
Where he used to have a horse as
a companion for his play hours he
now bestows the affection Of master
upon his motorcar. Even his dog must
share the petting with the sleek, speed
eating, gasoline quadruped.
So man has come to give his favor
tie car soul and name. The fact
that 1t Is an inanimate thing in the
way of being homeless and deaf Is lost
sight of. When business or home
troubles arise the man turns to the
companionship of his automobile and,
like Rip Van Wrinkle with his dog,
goes into the hills. If tired romp
in the country with his mechanical
pet rests him. He confides his yearn-
ings to his ear and it responds by in
terpreting his every mood.
CompanionabIe Motor Pet.
And thus it naturally follows that
the considerate master has the most
companionable motor pet. He who
quarrels with his machine gets re-
Spouse that matches. Mistreated, the
car behaves as abominably as a
whipped horse or starved dog.
Caressed with proper care and regu-
larly fed with water. oil. gasoline, it
obeys-witli all the feeling of a loved
one.
Even more than all this, man
chooses his pets from the most eff
cient breeds. SO, in picking an auto
mobile, his selection falls to the one
that will most readily respond to his
demands for comfort, power, mileage,
dependability and, at the same time,
be. economically kept.
And comfort means success with
motor touring as well as In anything
else. Comfort Is the reason for the
modern highway. 1t is not merely
the smooth road but also the way the
road is posted. There are lots of
signs and arrows pointing the way you
should go without even having to
sIacken speed to read them. OF
course you can take maps-but of
what use are these other than to tell
you the statistics of the town through
which you are passing? Even Mr..
Detour's card by the wayside points to
future comfort-that the country is
trying it's darndest to keep the roads
In perfect condition.

Roads Help in Getting
Farm Produce to Market

The successful marketing of farm
produce is greatly affected by road
conditions. 1t frequently happens that
the peak market prices come at time
when the unimproved roads are prac-
tically impossible due to weather con-
ditions. The farmers along such roads
are forced to stand by impotently and
watch the price levels drop for their
produce, being forced to sell on a low
market at some future time when 1t is
possible to get load into town.

Valve Cap Is Valuable
to Prevent Dirt Leaks

Motorists are warned not to err by
taking it for granted that 1t makes lit
tie difference whether cap is used
on the tire valve and when cap Is
lost to proceed without one. This idea
is entirely erroneous. and motorists
who do not use the valve cap can ex-
pect trouble.
When the cap Is not used there is
every probability that sand and dirt
will work down into the valve and
ultimately produce leak. While a
tire remains inflated this dirt in some
cases may do no harm, but when a
new imitation is made the pump drives
the dirt down into the valve and
makes an alright connection almost
impossible.
