Soap the Door Stills.
Just to show Smith an extreme In
this matter Of auxiliary oiling, / took
him out to his old car and pointed to
several places where the doors, in sag.
ging little, were scraping against the
sills. l suggested rubbing a little soap
on the sills as the remedy.
1.-The head of a speedometer needs
no attention during the ordinary life
of car. but the cable may not always
receive as much fabrication from the
transmission as 1t needs" I added
When this is the case, 1t is a good
plan to disconnect the cable from the
head and force some graphite by
means OF a grease gun into the cable
tube.
Don't forget that all around the
car are little things that will operate
we'll enough without grease or oil. but
which always operate better with a
little fabrication. And. finally. there
are the parts which, if kept fabricated
will be easier to attend to when re.
pairs and adjustments are needed. A
brake pin that is never oiled is prob
lem to the repairer and real expense
to the man who must pay the bill for
all extra time spent on trying to re.
move rusty parts"
When Smith buys one Of the newer
cars with the newer automatic lubri-
eating systems, 1t will not be because
he covets the opportunity to sit back
and take 1T easy, but rather because
1t will be his opportunity to have the
time to look after all the other details
which in all of his previous cars he
had to neglect.

LESSON FROM ACCIDENT.
Proves Highway Is No Place for
Talk or Repairs.

Wise motorists have long pointed
out the fact that streets and highways
are no places for discussions and re-
pairs, but now and again 1t requires a
demonstration to drive home the sim
pie truth of this. The recent accident
where an automobile driven by a po-
lice officer ran into the rear of a car
that had been halted by another po-
iiceman because It was minus a tail
light illustrated this point so vividly
that only the most stubborn driver
could hear of 1t and refuse to get off
the travelled thoroughfare when he
happens to be in trouble. An officer
will always admit the wisdom of your
act If you tell him that for safety's
sake it would be best to turn into a
side street.

BANKHEAD ROUTE
TOUR IS SUGGESTED
Route to San Diego Through
Southern States 22-
Day Auto Trip.

With many Eastern motorists plan
ming tours westward, the Automobile
Club of Southern California writes
that 1t is prepared to welcome trav-
elers who go to the Pacific Coast and
assist them in finding their way
around the far western country.
The Bankhead highway is suggest
ed as a route for the journey either
way. 1t takes the tourist through
Virginia, North Carolina. Tennessee,
Arkansas. Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona into southern California, end
ing at San Diego as It's western ter
minus. An alternate route is the Ma
Iional Old Trails highway, by driving
over paved roads to ST. Louis and
thence southwest direct to Los An
geles.
Travelling at a leisurely pace for
10 hours a day. the tourist is assured
of being able to make the trip OF ap-
proximately 5000 miles in 20 to %
days. To make 1t with a maximum
Of comfort, he is reminded to carry
adequate equipment, particularly If 1t
is planned to camp out on the way.
Such items as spare tires and acces-
sories, skid chains, a good horn for
use on mountain curves and the most
necessary tools are looked on as par
ticuldrly necessary. For personal COM
fort, the transcontinental car should
carry also q small stock Of canned
goods and the simplest cooking outfit.
and the tourist should wear clothing
adapted to the long trip in the open.
Good hotels in cities and towns
along the old Spanish Trail and camp
ing grounds for automobile tourists in
almost every city, large and small, are
enumerated among the facilities to be
offered the tourist in southern Cali
fornia.
Strip maps covering the entire Jour-
ney from Washington to San Diego
will be mailed free to Washington mo-
torists on application to the touring
bureau Of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, according TO a
recent letter from the organization to
the automobile editor of The Star.

BUY ALCOHOL CAREFULLY.
Warming Is Issued on Basis of
United States Experts Finding.

Refners have warned repeatedly
against the practice Of going to a
garage or filling station and asking
merely for quart of oil. This warn
ing could be extended to include alco-
hol. The Department of Commerce
has found that alcohol still is the most
satisfactory anti-freeze solution, but
any kind of alcohol will not do. Ere
quently wood alcohol is dispensed, and
while such alcohol may be used if pure,
1t is often of acid reaction, with the
result that its use for an entire Win
ter will corrode the radiator and other
metallic parts touched by the anti
freeze solution.

HOW TO SAVE GAS.
Keep Foot Off Accelerator When
Not Needed.

Saving gas is often a matter of
learning to keep your foot off the ac-
celerator. Many motorists do not real
ize 1t, but the mere weight of the
foot, or nervous tension, on the ac-
celerator when waiting in traffic is
sufficient to give the engine more gas
than it needs. When driving down
grade, where engine power Is not need
ed, many drivers will keep their foot
on the accelerator, even though the
ignition has been switched off. Feed
ing gas with ignition off is all right If
additional compression is desired as a
means of checking the speed of the
car, but ordinarily It is just a matter
OF waste.

RADIATOR CLEANING.
Ordinary Lead Pencil Eraser Does
Efficient Work.

A simple way to clean the fins of a
cellular radiator is TO insert an ordi-
nary lead pencil eraser and rotate it.
This will serve to rub off any dirt that
has collected without the risk Of injur-
ing the cells. An occasional rubbing
of this sort often will serve to keep
the core of the radiator from being
marked with light and dark spots and
will keep the radiator looking present
able

Maryland Roads Oiled.

The road from Waterloo to Jessup
has been oiled, according to announce
ment by the Maryland State Roads
Commission. OIL also is being applied
to the Frederick road from Catonsville
to Ellicott City. After It's completion
the same force will oil the Annapolis
boulevard from Brooklyn to Water
ford.
Evening star., 1925-11-01
Causes More "Toe-In.'

Lengthening the steering tie rod
brings the front ends of the front
wheels closer together. resulting in
more "toe-in." Due to wear, strain
and the possibility OF slight bending
of the tie rod. an old car can usually
stand more lengthening of the rod and
more "toe-in."

Gear Shift Indication.

When your gears suddenly shift
back to neutral from high or second
of their own accord, it Is usually an
indication that you have not shifted
to allow for a full mesh of the gears
A mean operating clutch will often
cause a driver to shift short"

S. S. Mcdonald today entered

Der OF the Workmens Compensation
Bureau, Governor Sorlie having APP
pointed him to succeed himself. late
Saturday.
Mr.. Mcdonald has been on the
commission for almost six years
having been appointed by Governor
Frazier and his original term ex-
tended by law. Governor Sorlie said
Mcdonald was well recommended by
labor, he being the labor represent
tative on the commission. Mr.. Nc
Donald asserted that he was Endorsed
by nearly every labor body, and OPP
posed by only few trouble max
ers."
Petitions against his appointment
had been sent Mr.. Sorle before he
became Governor. Others who had
been mentioned in connection with
the appointment were f. j. Pepke,
Minot; Peter Morgan, Grand Forks;
James Curran. Bismarck: ID. {. Poin-
dexter, Bismarck. Those opposing
Mcdonald had concentrated in urg-
ing Poindexter's appointment recent
ly.
Governor Sorlie, however, it is
understood, did not desire to make an
appointment at this time. He was
content to allow Mr.. Mcdonald to
continue serving until he had been
in office for time and got rid of
the legislature. The Attorney Gen
eral, it is understood, was asked for
an opinion as to whether Mcdonald
would continue serving if no APP
pointment were made, and the opin-
ion was given that the place would
be vacant today if no appointment
were made. Therefore, Mr.. McDon-
aid was appointed.
All places in the power of the
Governor have been much sought
after. and appointments made are
watched with interest by politicians,

ernor with reference to various fac
tions, and especially with reference
to former office holders of the
state.

that he does not intend to rush the
making OF any appointments, and
it is possible no more will be made
until after the legislature meets, or
at least until nominations are re-

II also is reported in political cir
clcs that the Governor had declined

Lcmke, and had served notice that
none Of the "Lemke crowd" need

appointment Of S. S. Mcdonald was
regarded as in line with this policy.
1t has been generally reported in
political circles that +. A. Vogel
OF Coleharbor would be appointed

some opposition to him. Governor
