MOTORISTS FORGET
CONVENIENCE ITEM.
When Figuring Value of Car
Great Factor Often Is
Overlooked.

In considering the rating of your
car as paying proposition" judge
the car by what 1t does, not by what
it costs you.
This is the plan advocated by Oscar
Coolican, local Packard dealer. as an
aid to motorists who take enough in
terest in their personal transporta-
ton to check up now and again on
the investment and it's yield.
Motoring that costs very little, but
yields very little is a poor invest
ment." he says. The car owner is
then sacrificing the many services
which a car could offer him. He
thinks he is saving, whereas in real
ity he is sacrificing
IF you want to know whether your
motoring is paying proposition fig
ure out what it offers you, not what
1t costs. If the car is doing a lot
for you. your health, your business
and your family. ii is a first-class in
vestment, regardless of the cost.
'In stressing the cost of motoring
there is tendency at present to over
look the fact that if the average man
We're robbed of his car there would
be nothing else to take its particular
place. 1t would cost him more to
be without car than to support the
HlOSJ eNlTdNdSdHI machine, winch,
however, produces big results.
Just having transportation within
a stones throw of your home, when
you want 1t, Is worth more than
many people appreciate. For short
runs the automobile has demonstrated
it's ability to outstrip all other forms
of transportation for speed. That
too, is often priceless to the man in
a hurry.
Consider these points when you are
placing a valuation on your motoring
The actual cost is secondary. Don't
concentrate only on trying to get
along with less oil. cheaper gas and
stronger tires. Make sure that your
car is giving you all the service 1t
is able. The service IL renders and
the problems it solves represent its
real worth as an investment"

able show that it is only in rare
instances that members of these clubs
run foul of the law, and that a
smaller proportion of them are in
volved in accidents than of any other
class. This is attributed to the fact
that the honor system is in vogue and
a standard of conduct that they en-
force of themselves.
Just as this honor system is max
ing our club members better and
more responsible motorists" Mr..
Henry concluded. so it may be con-
fidently expected that Code of
Motoring Ethics, once it is universal
ly accepted, will make for safety, for
better motoring conditions and for a
greater degree of enjoyment for the
users of the highways"

even have to go this far. just con

defect in the carburetion. There is

him to go ahead pressing out the

the same trouble. but I can't tell him
to follow the same rule, because the

got to think of different remedy for
him, or I'll be giving him more
trouble than he's already got.

Smooth Greasing Hint.

When greasing the steering assem-
bly, it is sometimes difficult to force
the grease through so that you are
satisfied that the various points have
been properly fabricated. When this
happens in greasing the spring bolts
it is customary to rock the car up
and down little until the grease has
a chance to work through. The same
plan can be applied to the steering
assembly by getting into the car and
turning the wheel one way and then

CAPTAIN J. H. FOSTER IN
 TOWN FROM NUkA BAY

Capt. J. H. Foster, connected with the Alaska Hills Mining Company at Nuka Bay, arrived in town the latter part of the week from the property, having been absent from Seward for about year. MT. Foster is on his way to Anchorage to attend a stock holders meeting, and will leave on Thursdays train. He reports much snow at his camp, and a bad winter in general.
 Capt. Foster said that much activity prevailed in his district, a number of fine properties having been developed the past year. The vein on the com pany's property while small, and wid- ening with depth, runs about S135 to the ton, and is very rich. Captain Foster declares the region is handi- capped by a lack of roads and trails and believes that by building a mile and a half of good trails much trou- ble could be saved operators in the district, as several loads of supplies have been lost by polling boats being swamped. A quantity of machinery was moved up the river by this meth cd, slow and laborious way of trans porting freight.
 Mr. Foster will ask the local cham Der to assist him in securing road for this rich district, lying directly at Stewards doors, and believes that by cooperation there will be little diff culty in securing the money.
