Give CLOSED CAR
REGULAR WASHING
Finish of. Many Cars Dulled
and Scratched by Care
less Washer.

A closed car does not collect any
more dust and dirt than an open mod
ell, but it looks much worse if it is not
cleaned regularly. Considering the
great increase in the popularity Of
closed cars, automobile cleanliness is
today more important than ever.
Although some manufacturers give
special instructions for washing the
finish of their cars, a thorough knowl-
edge of correct washing principles Is
DESTROYS for every car owner.
It's Simple, but
Washing an automobile is simple,
vet the finish of many car has been
dulled and scratched by carelessness
in washing. Never wipe off the dust
or mud without first flushing off the
car body with stream of water. The
water removes much of the foreign
matter so that 1t cannot scratch the
finish in later washing operations.
After flushing, go over the body
with a sponge and a stream of water.
Be sure that the water runs freely
through the sponge to carry away the
dirt. Wash the sponge frequently,
and use it gently. Very cold or very
hot water should not be used-a luke
warm temperature is best.
After the washing operation, a soft
cloth or channels should be used to dry
the finish. Then a good body polish
should be applied with soft cloth or
chamois.
Rancid butter is an effective agent
for removing spots from the finish, as
is kerosene. Do not polish the nickel
parts too often, as frequent rubbing
with polish tends to remove the plat
ing. A good silver polish is the best
thing to use on nickel, but generally
the nickel can be kept bright by rub
bling it with an oily rag. Remember
to take particular pains in washing a
new car, because the varnish and
paint require time to season and are
more easily injured than on an older
car.
Removing Grease and Oil.
To remove grease and oil, apply
gasoline to the parts on a soft cloth.
Mud and grease on axles and under
the tenders can easily be removed by
washing with suds made by dissolving
two pounds Of soap in gallon of wa
ter. It is best to rinse the washed
parts thoroughly.

Several Reasons Why
Home Ownership Pays

I'VE Own Our Own Home Just
this simple little phrase means much
to those fortunate enough to be able
to say it.
1t means that they are lords and
masters of their own households. 1t
signifies that here are folks entitled
to greater measure of respect, ]. 81.
Hildebrandt writes, In the Chicago
American. 1t shows that they are ia
Tiers and mothers who did not hest
tate to sacrifice some of the small
pleasures Of life so that their chill.
dren could grow up in proper sur
roundings.
Occasionally people argue that 1t
does not pay to own a home. If one
were to reckon only in dollars and
cents, perhaps in some cases it might
not pay.
But what has money got to do with
1t anyway? How can one compare q
possible saving of a few dollars with
the great measure of satisfaction and
contentment that is bound to be evi.
dent to the owned home. I am will
ing to grant that there are unpleasant
tasks, but think of the many other in
teresting things that the home owner
can do.
Every man should have hobby of
some sort, but wish to point out that
the greatest inspiration for this sort
of thing would be found around the
owners home.
If you have hesitated to own a
home on account of the two reasons
mentioned above better get busy at
once, especially If you have sons and
daughters. Living in rented quarters
you are missing a lot Of the busy
things in life, and you are overlook
ing one of the best assurances. that
your children will grow up to be
credit to yourself and the community
at large.
Let more of us adopt the best hobby
of all, Our Own Home"

Whitewash Applied
to Catch Auto Thief

at last we have the solution
to the problem of catching au-
tomobile thieves.
It's offered gratis to all po-
lice departments of the world
by former Inspector c. Turner,
of the London police. Here it
is:
Have handy in each police
station pals of whitewash and
syringes. When a car is report
ed stolen, distribute the white
wash equipment at the i'm
portant outposts of the town
and when the stolen car is spied,
an officer at each side of the
road sprays the machine with
his whitewash.
It's sure to be identified easily
and stopped at the next cross
roads.
