CAR LIFE

Wise motorists, after driving a
new car about 500 miles, drain
the oil from the crankcase, give
It q thorough cleaning and refill
with fresh oil.
This operation should be repeated
at least every additional 1000 miles
during the life Of the car. It is
or great importance in prolonging
the life Of the car in that it keeps
the motor free from particles Of grit,
metal, sediment and other foreign
substances which HInd their way
into the inner workings.
Similar treatment should be &C.
corded tires for the same general
reasons in order that they NAV
deliver all of the mileage which
has been built into them at the
factory.
At the end Of every $500 miles
OF service tire should be re-
moved from the rim, debated and
all soapstone and grit removed.
The inside of the casing should
be washed with clean gasoline,
and after drying should be busted
with tale.
During this operation a close
inspection should be made Of the
thread and the inside Of the casing
for any cuts or fragments OF
glass or other foreign materials.

CARE Of NEW
MACHINE

Mash Distributor Advises Own
or What to DO During First
1000 Running Miles.
BY N. d. HAWKINS. Jr.

Sales Manager Hurley Motor Com.
pany, Nash Distributor.
AT this time Of year when the
minds Of motorists generally are
turned toward the purchase Of
new cars. 1t Is practically appro-
PIRATE to offer some advice as to
the care q car should have during
its first 1000 miles Of operation.
On that care will depend largely
the future service of the vehicle,
whether 1t Is to be efficient, eco.
nomical and for q long period,
or the reverse.
To begin with, do not drive q
new car faster than twenty miles
per hour for It's first 1000 miles.
This IL to give tight parts q chance
to wear in the tiny fraction that
permits adequate fabrication and
smooth running.
As soon a. you get the new
car In your garage, try the oil
level in the engine, see that the
transmission and rear axle have
been properly filled with lubricant.
It sometimes happens that the
dealer, in the hurry of making
delivery, does not get ell lubricant
reservoirs properly filled. Check
aim up; 1t 10 safer. Check the
tire pressures. This 10 sometimes
neglected. See that the battery
has been filled with distilled water
to level.
Discover RattIes.
After driving for a day you win
know whether any ratties and
squeaks have developed. Door
locks, fender brackets, license.
plate holders and other similar
parts often work loose in the early
stages of the cars career and
make an abominable racket
After the car has been driven
three or four hundred miles Il Is
q good plan to go over the whole
chassis. Tightening bolts and nuts.
This includes the body bolts under.
meath, which you viii have to crawl
under to get at. Spring clip nuts
may need q turn or two. The nuts
that hold down the engine may call
for q bit Of attention.
Go Over Paint Work.
Go over the paint work ana
enamel and II you find any place
where there IL rust, touch Il up
with a little enamel. This APPLIES
particularly to such places as hood
ends, fender sides, tire carrier,
iron screws. nuts and bolts. 8, nd.
shield fittings, etc. Watch fJr
rusty spots anywhere on the c;las lie
during the first month and touch
them up so that they can't spread
and you will 80 a long way to pre-.
serve the finish Of the car for an
indefinite period. It 10 good plan
to take out the iron screws that
usually hold the license-plate to the
bracket and either enamel them or
substitute brass parts that Will not
rust.
After 200 miles Of running drain
the crankcase of oil and put in
fresh. after the reservoir has been
flushed out with kerosene. The
wise car owner will therefore refill
the crankcase with fresh oil every
800 miles Of running, or 500 at the
outside.
In washing the car use only clear
water for the first month or two,
until the varnish is thoroughly
hardened.
One final tip: Exposed wires are
best pinted with shellac.

CLEAN SPARK PLUGS
WHEN ENGINE IS HOT

II you are cleaning the spark
plugs with the idea Of having the
car perform at its best--as. for In
stance. when demonstrating It to a
possible buyer-the right time to
do the job Is while the engine is
hot. Should you clean the plugs
before taking the car out Of the
garage, the process Of choking the
motor in order to get q start win
reduce the effectiveness Of the job.
II you clean the plugs while the
engine is hot, no choking viii be
necessary, and the plugs win be at
their best when you drive up to
get the prospect. The plugs viii
not be so hot that they cannot be
comfortably handled with gloves.

VICTORY FOR DAWES
PLAN ELATES BERLIN
Majority of Sixty-Four in Reichs.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 7.-Elation was ex-
pressed in governmental headquar-
ters yesterday over the outcome of
the voting in the ReichStag on the
ceptance of the Dawes repara tion
report. With a clear majority of
sixty-four votes in it's favor, the
Marx cabinet now is equipped with
full authority to carry on negotia-
tionS with the reparation commission
for fulfillment of the provisions con-
tanned in the experts plan.
As an unexpected sequel to the re-
cent parliamentary crisis and two
days of debate saturated with ven
omouS partisan acerbities, the vote
of confidence further impresses the
government leaders with favorable
prospects of future support in the
Reichstag for the administration
policies in the face of the heavy op-
position from the right reactionaries
and the Communists.

preSSive defense of the Dawes re-
port and of the governments posi-
ton in making it the pivotal point

tributed to the outcome of the final
voting.
Support of Socialists.
So long as the government hews to
the line, political experts say, it can
safely count on the support of the
United Socialists, while the Bavarian
Peoples Party and the Economic
League, which jointly command twen-
ty-five votes, may be counted on to
cooperate with the governments sup
porters, assuring the Marx cabinet a
comfortable working majority.
The result of the vote was received
with remarkable composure by the
German NationaliSts, whose noisy op-
position to the governments attitude
on the Dawes report is largely viewed
as political stimulation intended for
consumption by their constituents. At
heart the Nationalists are reputed to
have reconciled themselves to the
inevitable need of coming to the aid
of the Ruhr and Rhineland through
the medium of the Dawes report
DR.. Stresemann characterized the
Dawes report as "the economic Bible
of the present" He reminded the op-
ponents of the report that they must
reckon with the fact that the greatest
power" would be ranged against Ger
many in case the report was not ac-

Wholesale Deportations Continue.
Natives Robbed of Everything

ALEPPO, June Were the great
powers less preoecupied with prob
lens concerning them more directly
than the misfortunes of the minority
of Inhabitants in Anatolia. 1t is prob
able more than one protest would be
raised against the inhuman treatment
Of the remaining Christians of that
country by the Turks. Although more
than a million Greeks have been ex-
changed since last year, the Turkish
authorities, despite their pledges, con-
tinue wholesale deportations of Ar
menians from the eastern villayets,
the majority of whom are being driv-
en- to Syria.
Since last July the average number
OF Armenian refugees has exceeded
2,Uuo monthly, and, according to in
formation which has reached local
French authorities, this number is
1kely to be increased in the near fu-
ture. The refugees arrive in a pitiful
stream and in state of poverty, most
of them having lost most of what
they had left on the way between
their starting points and the Syrian
border
Forced to Leave Country,
Turkish officials. they say. force the
Christian population to sign a decla-
ration that they desire to leave the
country. individuals are handed pass
ports good to leave the country but
not to return" Then they are given
few days to- sell movable property.
but real estate, they assert, passes
into the hands of the custodian of
property of absent landowners"
Many Armenians who still possess
gold are compelled to change it for
Turkish paper at par. Conveys are
formed and directed toward the
southern frontier. En- route several
officials must be bribed to secure safe
passage. 1t is stated that the gov
ernor of Urfa exacts the equivalent
of 81 from each departing Armenian
to guarantee his life through a dis
trict infested with bandits. When
these Christians arrive at the French
outposts they are generally penniless
and completely demoralized.
French Hand Forced.
The French, who realize that the
refugees are another liability, have
tried repeatedly to refuse them ad-
mittance, but are forced to accept
them in the end, because the Turks
threaten to let the commitadjis or
armed bands loose on defenseless
women and children unless the
French allow them to cross Syria.
In May 1900 crossed the frontier,
and informed the French authorities S
that 10000 more will arrive during
the summer. What will become of
them is difficult to say. Syria is a
poor country, and the French are un-
able to carry a burden of several
million francs for their upkeep.
