Cost of Car Operation

The cost of operating an automo-
bile Is one Of the greatest items In the
auto owners budget and one that is
the most watched. A car that burns
the least fuel is the most popular car
in most cases, and 1t is the only car
for the person with small amount Of
money to spend for his pleasure. When
purchasing car this side Of the ques-
ton should be kept In mind by the
purchaser and the car best fitted to
his pocketbook should be the one pur-
chased. The initial cost Will be near

Der. 1t was bitter pill for Jim Fer
guson's many enemies. But they swal-
lowed the pill and went into the
pitched battle with blood in their eyes

Nobody anywhere ever saw such a
battle as that run-off campaign. No
body anywhere ever saw such per-
Torrance as the Fergusons gave. There
was always a big crowd, friends and
foes. Mrs Ferguson, good looking,
come on the platform with her bright
little four-year-old grandson, Ernest

Mothers, ! love my children just
as you love yours. There sits my lit
tie bright-eyed grandson that l love

Then, after the hullabaloo had died

best political campaigner Texas has

FINED FOR SPEED
Automobile Expert Tells
Others to Drive Car
Slowly.

tBy ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College of Automotive Engineering,
Chicago).
You who read this little column of
mine think that the fellow who writes
1t is a pretty wise bird. But did you
ever wonder why / am able to write so
wisely? Well, this particular article
cost me over 500 but you get 1t for
nothing.
Two months ago l bought straight
eight, guaranteed to turn up nearly 100
miles an hour. After breaking it in,
running around % miles an hour for
1000 miles-as every good motorist
does-I decided to take friend wife on
trip through the country. And when
we came to long stretch of macadam
/ sampled my bus to see what speed 1t
really could turn up. Yes, the car was
as fast as the manufacturers claimed
The motorcycle cop who arrested me
proved it to the judge.
The judge-an old but experienced
motorist-welcomed me with open
arms, and his advice ran thusly:
"Your first duty is to impress upon
the public the fact that you have a
new car. Always drive it as fast as 1t
will go. This gives people the impress
sion you could easily win race When
turning a corner always do it on two
wheels. Everyone loves to be thrilled.
Don't push the horn button until you
are in the midst of u crowd. 1t Is
great sport to see people knock each
other down in their haste to keep from
being run over. Besides, 1t makes you
as welcome as mad dog.
"If you desire excitement, try beat
ing train to a crossing, or run your
car into a tree. This will bring you
newspaper headlines and 1t is quite
possible that some movie company will
offer you a big salary for becoming
stunt man. Always vary your antics.
To keep people guessing is the spice
of life.
Fifty dollars and costs! Now get
out of here. If l ever catch you speed
ing again in this county Ill send you
up for life"
bling me home with remarks that
would shrivel a sheet Of steel
snow l don't get that new hat l
wanted. You an automotive expert,
bah You ought to be engineer of a
peanut stand. If you ever speed again
I'll tell every automobile editor In the
country and then your reputation
won't be worth a wooden nickel. Here
after you drive to the Office via the
elevated"
And so, reader, you see by the fore
going that even I-who you think
knows all about automobiles-am only
q human being after all. Did tell
that Judge my right name? I did not y
I'd have been given ten years If he
knew who / was.
Be satisfied to ride slowly, using all
possible forethought and consideration.
Don't speed when you come to a
straight stretch. You might meet the
same Judge that did-and hear him
say: "gifty dollars and costs"

Hints Worth Remembering
in Care of Motorcars

See that your springs are well lubri-
Gated, both at the shackles and at the
leaves. Apply penetrating graphite
spring oil to the leaves. If the shackle
bolts are worn. have them replaced
before you start.
Inspect your steering gear mechan-
ism. See that the tie-rod Is tight, and
that the steering knuckle is working
properly If anything is loose have II
frightened by all means. Keep your
steering mechanism well fabricated.
If your motor has leather-faced
clutch apply neatsfoot oil. A few
drops of the oil on your brake bands
will help them wonderfully.
If you are touring in an open car,
see that your curtains are readily ac-
cessible and in good shape.
When dismantling the steering gear.
1t is important to take out all the con-
troll tubes and to remove all rust that
has accumulated between them.
Always apply the brakes and then
release them, instead of putting them
on and then holding them there.
When the tires wear uneyenly or so
thin that the remaining rubber Is not
enough to absorb the ordinary shocks
of travel, the wheel bearings are very
likely to be broken.
When Installing fan belt, always
sec that The pulleys are in Lima

should make no speeches during the
campaign. She overcame the normal
Republican majority of about 5000,
defeated the formidable Republican
candidate, Eugene j. Sullivan, and has

was unknown outside of his county in
1914 when he battered his way through
the primaries and election to the gov
ernorship. In his second term he fell
afoul Of the University Of Texas. Its
friends retaliated by impeachment and
Indictment, charging financial irregu-
larities and misuse of executive power.
The indictments were finally nolle
pressed. Ferguson, as a political
speaker, is pretty nearly 100 per cent
efficient. In the 1922 campaign the
way he tore into the khan was Won
der and he has improved with practice
ever since. BY the opening of his
1924 campaign Ferguson was regarded
by the khan as its bitterest foe and
by his many enemies as nuisance.
His only mouthpiece in the press was
the Ferguson Forum, a weekly estab-
lished by him in 1917. But his pri-
mary campaign progressed. just the
same.
