Buying Auto on Last Years Tip
.Proues Costly Mistake to Many
Performance in Past May Be Affected by
Changes in Today's Models That Rad
icolly Alter Values, Says Expert.

There have been several notable in
stances where cars of little virtue
have risen to high rank. and cases
where presumably reliable cars have
suffered at the hands Of unwise en-
gineering and manufacture.
! If Il man is considering car he
can get certain line on the value
of the present years model. but his
best guide will be knowledge of
what the current years car can do
and how well it is made. All this
can be determined without taking ad-
vice from people who have had ac-
quaintance with only previous models
and who. therefore. are prejudiced by
| information that is out of date.
There still turks in the minds of
many people the idea that a certain
make of car is designed SO inaccur-
ately as to fail continually to fire on
all six. Naturally this keeps lot
of people from buying a make OF car
that might suit their particular needs
better than any other. for the truth
is that the engine is one of the best
of it's kind being built.
Mistake Corrected Promptly.
During the war ii happened that
an engineer at the factory decided to
try eliminating one of the rings from
each piston. and the result was most
unsatisfactory. Motorists who know
the facts proceed to buy the latest
version Of this make just as though
the situation had never happened: for
it has absolutely no bearing on pres
ent conditions. 1t was a war ex-
redient that didn't work out. In all
probability such a thing wouldi never
happen again.
Just because there is so much "tip
giving" to car buyers it has lately
come to the attention of the trade
that many people float the suggestion
that if a car has been satisfactory for
Few years 1t is likely to be a little
of for tho current year. Better
wait another year or buy something
else" they advise.
Now il is true that sometimes a
reliable car maker will have an of
year, but 1t is very Interesting To
note that the year of unsatisfactory
sales is seldom concurrent with that
of the unsatisfactory product. This
indicates the fallacy of buying cars
on last. years tips. for it means that
the public goes ahead buying the
product of the low-value year and
then holds off during the next year.
when, In all probability. the manu-
facturer has corrected every error ;
Overlook Best Opportunity.
This means that a lot of people are
constantly buying the poor models
and foregoing the opportunity to pur-
chase the best.
Such conditions are being discour- |
aged as rapidly as possible. Motor /
lists are getting to be better judges !
of values, and statesmen are insisting
that present values in cars he proved. !!

While the owners of motor vehicles

that they are bearing a very consider

AID TO CLEAN SYSTEM.

Once alcohol is out of the radiator
and there is no further need to econo-
mize on the contents. of the cooling
system. it is a good plan to drain off
little water each time fresh water
is added. The annoyance of opening
the radiator drain cock can be over
come by most car owners if they
would use one of those little rods the
garage men use to open the upper
transmission drain cock when Ford

Rube Mailman, the whistler.
who is prominent in the cast
with Harry Steppe at the Gayety
next week, is responsible for the
statement that the professional
whistlers who initiate notes of
birds and other sounds have an

Mailman, what a difference it
makes to change from one theater
to another and find out how diff
ferently the leaders. of orchestras.
as well as. the musicians them
selves, will interpret the written
music for whistling number.
OF course, they can't so wrong,
but there are many times that one
orchestra will shade the music
just bit different than the one
preceding, and, in consequence,
the whistler has to be on the
alert at all times, or else he will
find himself going flat at places
where it is most noticeable. 4.
