l suspect that Paddy the Beaver
didn't give this SO much as single

He had no thought for any save him
self and family. And if any one had
told him that the building of that dam
and the making of that pond con-
cerned others he would most indig-
nantly have denied 1t. He would have
said that it was wholly his business,
and that was all there was to It.
But this wasn't true. Peter Rabbit

The item Of fuel is extremely I'M
portant and almost all Of US waste
gasoline every time we use our
cars. The internal CONFUSION en-
gine is designed to operate on a
gasoline mixture containing one
! part gas to fourteen parts air. II
the setting OF the carburetor is not
exactly correct, this mixture may
be reduced to ten to one or even
eight to one and the engine still
will run.
Gas Mixture Too Rich.
But it is using very much more
gasoline than it really needs. 1t
is generally agreed that most
American motorists use too rich q
mixture. If you want real economy,
be sure that your carburetor is set
to give you the leanest possible
mixture consistent with good run
ming. In addition to this reduce
the idling periods Of the engine. In
this way you will get the most
mileage possible from a given guam
tity Of fuel.
Have you ever realized that fric-
ton in the mechanism will be re-
Elected in your fuel bills? It will.
Friction means drag. The engine
has to pull harder to overcome the
drag resulting from friction between
moving units. This means that the
engine must consume .1Ore fuel 10
make this added effort. See that
fabrication is properly maintained
IL you would get the most from the
fuel you burn. Do not let the
brakes drag. This is friction again
at an important point.
AS a matter Of fact II you are
to get maximum fuel efficiency
you must keep your car tuned uu
to the high point Of operation. For
instance the clutch Is a tremendous
potential waster Of fuel.
Watch the Clutch!
II the clutch is slipping, it ie
the power it receives from the
engine. This means that the engine
has to work harder and burn more
fuel to deliver a given amount Of
power to the driving wheels.
With regard to oil, wastage is
rather the other way. It is a
waste to keep in service the oil
that has become diluted or dirty SO
that it does not properly perform
its intended function. Sparing the
oil is the worst form Of waste.
Tire expense is always a heavy
item, even In these days OF cheap
rubber. Be sure that the proper
pressure is always kept in the
castings. Once a week go over
them carefully, plugging every cut
that you find with tire dough.
This material seals the cut so that
water or dirt does not force its
way in to rot and destroy the
cotton base Of the tire.

AUTO OVERHEAD
To BE LESS
IN 1925
Steady Trend Has Developed
Toward Closed Model
Cars
By WILLIAM PARKER,
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21-America
must have its luxury and insistently
demands it's comfort. Yet the man
who is willing to spend anywhere
from 81 800 to Sic, 900 for luxury and
comfort is at the same time concerned
about his overhead" expense.
Such was the reaction of a lay
man after a visit to the National
Automobile Show now on here. An
automobile "layman" is anybody who
has had minimum Of three cars.
While it may sound paradoXieal,
automobiles are to be cheaper and
more expensive than ever this year.
But the cost of maintenance, the
overhead, will be radically less
than in former years. Cars won't
use SO much gas, there will be less
oil consumption. tires will last longer
and the surfacing Of cars has been
almost revolutionized.
Trend Toward Closed Cars.
There is a steady and determined
trend toward closed cars. In
American homes the "Ee are
going to have a closed car next"
has become almost a household
word, in many homes the final and
last word. So the women are
going to have their way again,
with the aid of the auto manufac"
turner's. Prices have been reduced
to a point where 1t is, in several
instances. as cheap to buy closed
car as a hurricane box"
Never before has there been
such regal elegance in the con-
struction and fitting of closed cars.
| Those on display are a distinct de-
parture from the significant mour-
| fulness of a hearse, for the sombre
black has given way to more bril-
liant colOrs. Some cars have the
! luxurious appearance of French
enamelled jewel cases.
The "stingy" roadster is becom.
ing passe, if the exhibits are to be
! believed The new sport models in
their infinite variety hold three
persons and usually have a fold,
away or rumble" seat.
Economy Is Factor.
! Economy of operation" is the
big message OF the auto show this
year. The demonstration alongside
the most expensive car emphasizes
the cost of upkeep" as though ii
were a vital point in the sales argu.
ment.
What is of cheering interest TO
the man of modest means Is that
he need no longer drive car
which puts him within a few
months In the class of the Shabby
genteel." The new finishes are
impervfous TO hot and cold water

cars and ask less daring com
petitor to laugh that off"
