MOTORS IMPROVED
BY BRIGHT COLORS
Easier to Keep Clean and to
Find When Left in Pub
lie Garages.

Brighter colors for motor cars
have played an important role in
simplifying car ownership. This is
the belief of a prominent local auto
mobile dealer.
Eliminating the drab colors and the
dreary, conventional black. he says,
has obviated a considerable amount of
busting and polishing and has en-
abled the average car owner to take
more pride in his possession
Gay hues for automobile bodies
have done more than add color to
motoring" he explains. They have
actually helped to simplify car owner
ship and maintenance. A motorist
who is constantly reminded of the at
tractiveness of his car is constantly
encouraged to give it the best of care.
That simplifies ownership by obviating
the troubles that are bound to come
from neglect. And in attending to the
car the owner discovers that it re-
quires far less attention than its
predecessors which showed every par
ticle of dust.
Some owners have declared that
the conspicuous and individual colors
of their cars have been a convenience
to them in finding their cars quickly
when they go to the public garage or
the public parking space where the
machines have been left by other
members of the family
Il think it is pride that counts most
in the work of keeping a car service
able. In this the matter of color
plays an important role, because the
more attractively a car is painted the
more pride the owner takes in his
property. When he takes pride in it
he is not likely to neglect it. Some
owners who would not worry if they
battered up the tenders are actually
better drivers since coming into pos
session of more attractive cars"

HIGH PRICE OF AUTOS
BLAMED ON WAR TAX
Purchaser Penalized, T. P. Henry
Says-Urges Repeal of Federal
Levy in Next Congress.

Reduction of the prices of automo-
biles will be made possible If the war
time taxes are removed, according to
officials of motoring organizations who
recently attended conference at the
offices of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce in New York.
Every one who owns an automobile
or expects to own one is interested in
this tax" declared Thomas p. Henry,
president of the American Automobile
Association. Its removal will mean
immediate reduction in the cost of
automobiles to the purchaser, because
the factory retail price, with freight
and war tax extra. This special Fed
eral levy on automobiles was strictly
wartime emergency measure. Most
of the items similarly penalized in 1918
have been freed from these levies, and
it is only just that all the Federal
taxes on automobiles should be re-
moved at the next session of Con-
gress"

the conference included C. B. Warren

him, compression would be lowest
while the engine Is cold because the

and there is always a little more

SAFER CARBON REMOVAL
Draining Gasoline From Carbure-
tor Eliminates Danger.

The danger incident to having the
carbon burned out by means of an
oxygen flame can be eliminated by TAX
ing simple precaution. The danger
usually lies in the possibility of ig-
nlting an oxygen-filled cylinder while
It's intake valve is open. The fiarhe
then shoots back into the carbureter
and causes the equivalent of a back
hre. Experienced garagemen, of
course, take care TO see that the
valves for a cylinder are closed before
they proceed, but even then there is
possibility of an intake valve being
held partly open by a few particles
OF carbon. To avoid all this simply
shut off the flow of gasoline from the
vacuum tank to the carburetor and
run the engine until it stops. The
carburetor and intake will, therefore,
be drained of gasoline and gas yanor
