MANY SEEKING
AUTO PRIZE

An Episcopal bishop and a peni-
tertiary lifer, a French countess
and an inmate Of a home for aged
women-these contrasting types, and
scores Of others, are matching their
wits against all America trying to
win the $4,000 prize offered for a
slogan for the new Jewett four-door
sedan.
Thomas Mott, Of the Washington
Virginia Motor Company, the Paige
and Jewett dealer here, has received
from Detroit preliminary reports on
the progress OF the contest. AL
though only half the period is past,
the Paige company has received
enough ballots to indicate that the
contest undoubtedly is one of the
most popular ever held.
The large capital prize offered,
and the fact that the second and
third best suggestions will be &C.
warded with a Jewett four-door
sedan, have brought in flood Of
suggestions. The Episcopal bishops
entry blank indicated that he was
Just as eager to win a car as to
get the $4,000; on the other hand,
it is believed that the penitentiary
lifer would rather get the cash
than win the automobile.
The contest. which is open to
everyone, runs till midnight OF
October 81, so there is still plenty
Of time to enter.
Official ballots for the contest
are to be had from any Paige and
Jewett dealer. The competitors
are being informed by the dealers
that what the Paige company sc ks
is a good expressive slogan, in
preference to a mere name f)r
the car, though both classes of
suggestions are eligible to win the
prize. The Paige slogan-"the
most beautiful car in America"-is
we'll established, and a slogan as
good, descriptive Of the new Jewett,
is deemed worth the 100000 to be
awarded the winner.

KEEP CAR CLEAN,
IS ADVICE

Cleanliness may not be next to
goodness when automobiles are con-
sidered but cleanliness Is a great
factor in increasing motor car lie
and sometimes that Of the driver,

Chandler representative.

tinued. Mud, oil and dirt left on

mark Of luxury, but the time Is
not far distant when the owner or
the uncovered spring will look with
pity upon the motorist who shows
by the things he has attached to
his springs that he does not under
stand how they work.
1t would be all right to attach
covers that could be taken off at a
moments notice for clip tightening
and inspection. The big trouble is
that owners have the springs spread
apart and fabricated when having
covers attached and then think that
by forcing in little grease now and
then the whole subject of spring
care is off their minds. AS a matter
of fact their troubles have just
begun.
Occasionally the rust between
spring leaves will become excessive.
The springs will squeak. This will
happen to covered springs as quickly
as to the uncovered variety, because
keeping a spring boot filled with
lubricant will not keep out rust.
But with the uncovered spring 1t is
merely a matter of squirting over
the leaves. especially at the ends.
a little prepared spring lubricant.
This is very penetrating liquid
with a little graphite added. 1t will
work in between the leaves, whereas
it would be necessary to spread the
leaves apart to insert any other
kind Of lubricant.
Just a little of this lubricant is ap-
piled to the springs very much as
a drop of neat's-foot oil is applied
to a grabbing clutch or e. drop of
engine oil to scree ching brake.
1t is senseless to dash engine oil
all over a spring. This just makes
it look efficient, but really does
little good.
Let the springs take care of them.

ton with a little special lubricant
when they squeak. After years
usage spread the leaves and remove
rust but do not pack with grease.
Moderat ton. You can't get it with
covers nor with neglect.

NEED No OIL

this, try to force two leaves apart
with a spring spreader while the
body is not lacked up.
The next point to bear In mind is
that If the water gets between the
spring leaves, and they rust. there
Is nothing to worry about. The
spring leaves are rusty anyway
even the leaves of the springs of
the car on Fifth Avenue!
Friction between the leaves is
dissipated as heat. Heat causes
deposit after a car has been in

And if the spring leaves are
spread apart, cleaned and creased.
as is usually done when covers are
added, the springs will not do their
normal work. How can they? How
can any brake work we'll when
oiled?
New cars are delivered with
graphite between the spring leaves
but this lowering of the spring leaf
friction efficiency is done to COM
pensate fer the stiffness of the
metal of the leaves themselves.
Timber up the metal and keep the
springs creased, however, and the
cars riding qualities are actually
destroyed.
Many car owners do not appre-
ciate how inefficient their springs
are because they have installed
efficient control devices. 1t is like
injuring the eyes and thinking they
are in fine condition just because
one sees we'll enough with magnify
ing glasses.
Covers prevent the car owner from
keeping the spring clips tight. If
the spring bolt breaks and the
springs are overlubricated the
leaves will slip more and the con-
sequences are apt to be much more
costly.
Use No Covers
Spring covers are condemned by
all experienced mechanics and en-
gineers. They are a fad and a

The Eastern Branch
of Maytag Company
Sets a World Record

The Eastern Branch headquarters
in Philadelphia of the Maytag Com
pany of Newton, Ia, has set worlds
record in merchandising.
This branch has just received the
largest individual shipment of mer-
chandise ever known. Five solid
trainloads. 1870 carloads. More than
1000 Maytag Aluminium Washers
valued at $2,OO0,0O0.OO.
This great shipment was routed
over five different railroads in order
to insure rapid delivery. These five
special trains identified by posters and
banners were given clear right of way
over the various roads and were met
at at various points along the route by
prominent men and city officials.
1t is stated by members of the sales
organization of the Eastern Brancl
that every washer in this mammoth
shipment will be disposed Of in less
than thirty days.
Trainload shipments of Maytag
washers have not been uncommon the
last few months. Three trainload
have been sent into California. Thre

trainloads into the Pacific Northwest
and trainload into Western Pennsyl-
vanla.
The daily production of Maytag
washers at the factory has already
reached the astounding figure of 1850.
This number will soon be increased by
three or four hundred a day upon the
completion of additional factory build
ing now under construction. Among
these buildings is a new aluminium
foundry credited with being one of the
largest aluminium foundries in the
world.
Sales Of the Maytag washer have
shown very decided increase, partic-
ularly during the last few years. With
sales of but 1,00O,OO0.00 in 1920 the
total sales of last year reached $780,
000,00000. mark During the first 8

With the fall styles black seems to
have come back with renewed vigor
and to have supplanted most of the
bright colors. Of course, navy blue is
always in good taste and the new
Chanel red and pencil blue are very
popular.
In black, materials with soft luster
are the most desired. The lovliest that
| have seen for dresses is the heavy
crepe satin which is so easily draped
and hangs so perfectly. In the colors,
the dull materials take precedence,

tiful frocks trimmed with shiny bands
of bright cloth.
Dresses Are Slightly Longer
Another thing, too, about the latest
styles which rather surprised me was
the fact that dresses are slightly long
er. / suppose the designers had to find
something new and, not being able to
go up had to come down. The new
length is very graceful though and
almost universally becoming.
Groves have splendid selection of
new materials and patterns and can
tell you all about the latest things. 1t
