Psychology and Economy.

Recently a motoriSt was asked why
he did not purchase one good car and
keep ii several years instead of buy
ing car he really didn't want every
year OF 50. His answer may shed
some light on the subject of psychol-
ogy in its relation to economy in car
ownership.

of car after running it a while. He
said il was the American spirit to
want to progress and to be dissatis-
fed with an article after the cream
of enjoyment had been extracted
from 1t.
If that is why SO many owners lose
interest in their machines then it is
time TO suggest the value of acces-
Sories as a means of reviving inter

Not Many New Ideas.

If the modern automobile owner

Incorporated in his latest car it may
be well for him to stop a moment,
dip into the automotive past and ask
himself what is new that he has ac-
cepted recently.
He might be surprised to learn that

He might be interested to know,
While riding in one of the gas-electric
buSSeS such as are used extensively in
Philadelphia, that fire apparatus has
been propelled with such a transmits
sion for more than five years.
Another point that may surprise
him is the fact that a special
Manchester dampener was designed
for the Packard twin-siX quite a few
years ago.
Every now and again the prophetic
motorist talks about ballbearing

the Lozier four-cylinder crankshafts
which was mounted on three annular

Many car owners point with pride
today to their cars with pressure lu-
bricating systems, yet such systems
were used years ago. The Cadillac
E-type engine is IL years old. and
since the adoption of E-type engines
it has been recognized that pressure
fabrication is essential.

advantages of using the lywheel of

windy day face the car toward the
wind. If left in the reverse position
the wind will sweep up through the
engine pan and cool the engine rapid
ly even though the radiator is COW
cred.
When placing the robe over the
hood for good measure, as precau-
ton against freezing, catch the ends
of the robe in the hood clamps.
otherwise the wind will carry the
robe off the hood and perhaps drop
it on the street.
Keep the grease gun on a bracket
attached to the engine side of the
dash. Thus after the car has been
running the grease will be somewhat
softened so that the work of lubri-
eating the chassis will be greatly sim

Skip in the Engine.

Whether the skip in the engine is
due to spark plugs missing or to the
carburetor may be determined by oh.
serving how the trouble manifests it
self. Generally speaking, if 1t is con.
stant the trouble can be traced to a
spark plug, while IL it varies the trou-
BILE is more likely to be due to the
carburetor. A carburetor may per-
form properly when the engine IS cold,
and not when it is hot. OR vice versa.
The first thing is to try the car at
different engine temperatures. 1t is
well to remember, however, that
spark plugs are more prone to miss
at low engine speed than at high.

WARNS OF RUBBER HOSE.
Use Positively Injurious to Highly
Finished Surfaces.

While the commonly used rubber
hose is perhaps the best method of
cleaning the lower portions of the car,
such as wheels, running gear and mud
guards, it is positively injurious when
used on the body and highly finished
surfaces. The force with which the
stream of water impinges on the sur
face causes the sand and dirt adhering
to the body to be driven into the var
nish. destroying its brilliancy, and no
amount Of polishing and rubbing will
restore its former luster. The body
should be washed with lukewarm soap

REDUCE GAS EXPENSE.
Advice to Motorists Who Ride Only
in Week Ends.

Car owners who go motoring only
over the week ends in Winter, or who
garage their cars for a week

in smaller quantities. The chances
are they will not motor during cold
weather where they could not buy
gas en- route should they find them
selves driving farther than they had
anticipated. Gasoline evaporates when
the car is standing idle. 1t is not SO

one OF the simplest ways of stopping
a rim squeak Is to run for a short dis

Results Summed Up.

This campaign. which ran for about
four weeks, with an interruption OF
one week for an initial check-up,
showed a surprising number of cars
to have been operated in Maryland
for nearly a whole year with tags il
legally placed.
There have, within recent weeks,
been many cases on Maryland high
ways where the sO-called 'hit-and-run

dencies or craven cowardiCe. has rid,
den down innocent pedestrians and
got away with II because the tag num-

ing the proper and legal display of

necessity of meeting the requirements
of the law as quickly and thoroughly
as l can this year.
