however, reaches a billion and nne-half
dollars annually and regular accesso-

keeping carbon deposits SO soft that

theory of these devices Is that by

necessity for choking the carburetor

Pulling Steep Grade.

uiIIlS Stttp uEduc
S. An automobile will run but will
not pull on steep grades or under
heavy loads:
If It receives too rich a mixture Of
gasoline.
If it has loose battery connection.
If the gears in the differential are
stripped.
If the gas line is disconnected.
3. Where the tires on the front
wheels wear out faster than those on
the rear wheels, the most probable
cause is:
The wheels are improperly aligned.
The front tires rub against the curb.
The front wheels carry more weight
than the hack wheels, for the mo-
tor is In the front of the car.
Tho front wheels go first and conse-
Quently take the bumps and
smooth the way for the rear tires.
10. If the spark lever is too far ad-
vanced In starting an engine, the
thing most likely TO happen is:
The generator burns out.
The engine backfires or kicks"
The mixture of gasoline and air is
too rich.
The gears in the diferential are
stripped.
Il. If the car ] was driving should
start to skid on a wet pavement, under

u. The spark should be advanced:
When driving fast.
When driving slowly in high gear.
When starting the engine.
When changing gears.
Causes OF Overheating.
13. The one of the following which
Is the most frequent cause of a mo-
tors oyerheating Is:
Too much oil in the crank case.
Too rich mixture of gas In the car
buretor.
TOO little water in the radiator.
-Driving too fast.
II. The most frequent cause of a
cylinder missing fire is:
-Ignition trouble.
Too rich a mixture of gasoline.
Lack of oil in the crank case.
Poor adjustment of the valves.
49, If while taking a heavy load
up q steep hill the motor stalls and
! should:
Put on the brake as tight as possible
and put the machine in low gear.
Call for help.
s-Give 1t more gas.
sPut the gear in reverse and go down
on compression.
l6. If while driving in high gear
up q steep hill your motor begins to
knock. and If both your spark and gas
throttle are we'll advanced, you should
6rst:
advance the throttle.
e-Retard the throttle.
Advance the spark.
-Eetard the spark.
Accident ON Road.
II. Suppose your car runs into an.
ether automobile on q country road
through no fault Of your own. The
other cur is slightly damaged and
YOURS not at all. There is no police
man or other officer around. You
should:
Take the other driver in your car to

ties.

to avoid an argument with the

?. When driving on snow covered
streets, the chief objection to Olsen
sastng the clutch and applying the
brakes at the same time violently
enough to lock the wheels is
Too much power is lost.
-DiSensaEing the clutch permits the
motor to race. which is injurious
to it.
The danger of skidding is increased
Under such conditions the wheels
are easily locked and this is hard
on the tires.
3. The main reason why d driver
should not pass a machine going in
the same direction near the top of a
hill IS:
The machine being passed is forced
to slow up. and 1t often needs all
it's speed to pull up to the top Of
the hill.
Getting up the additional speed nee
esSary to pass Immediately is diff
cult while climbing hill.
TIE machine is already under a
Strain in pulling up the hill. and
forcing it to still greater labor is
nkelE TO damage it.
-IHere is danger of a collision with
a machine that cannot be seen ap-
approaching on the other side of
the hill.

AS to low-cost upkeep and long life, just
remember that Cleveland Six has the
famous Bowen-patented "One Shot" Lub-
rication System-an advantage possessed
by no other car within mile of the price
"One Shot" at mere press of your
heel on plunger, instantly fushes the
entire chassis with fresh clean lubricant.
The car never cries for fabrication. And
everybody knows that frequent, proper
fabrication is the life of the carl
Honestly built and honestly priced
that's the story of Cleveland Six in essence
and that's the essential appeal of the car.
Evening star., 1926-01-31

All cars talk beauty. But beauty itself
talks for Cleveland Six. Look at these new
Cleveland Six models and pass judgment
by comparison.
All cars make power claims. Just put
them to the test. Drive them-then drive
the new 1926 Cleveland Six and let its
power speak for itself. The power of its
smooth, quiet motor can say more about
power than anybody, ever so gifted, could
put into words.
All cars talk comfort. Here again, get
the truth by comparison. Let Cleveland
