Ruthless Remedies.

They were slamming Smiths beau
tiful new car all around the public
garage the other day when l stepped
into it to see a repairman. Slam.
bang! 1t was shameful the way that
car was being punished.

thought, he'd sue the whole outfit"
Just then l caught sight of Smith

cry! That changed the picture.
Cant. seem to get the brakes just
right" Smith explained. Hard to
brake the car on slippery streets with
out a skid
you've come in here so they can break
it for you"
Just then the youth who was trying
to test the brakes by observing the
tire marks on the garage floor as he
locked the wheels happened to strike
a puddle Of grease in his racing about.
The car slid ahead and all but crashed
into another machine. Mentally, how.
ever, Smith felt that he had received
a terrific jolt.
1t proved to be a very useful jolt,
too. Smith came to his senses imme-
diately and caught the idea that it
doesn't pay to ruin a good car for the
sake of a minor Improvement in its
performance.
Smith Sees the Point.
THAT'S good enough" he told the
garageman. Maybe I'm just a little
too fussy. I'll try it out and drop back
here if it doesn't seem just right"
1t was a graceful way to avoid any
further damage to his car by reason of
carelessness in testing and adjusting

like to meet him around the corner for

ability to grasp the idea about killing

minutes later. It's all right to be
interested in giving your car every op-
portunity to serve you to the best Of
it's ability, but when you have to dam
age it or even risk damage in doing
so, you certainly are not taking a
logical step. It's more like a case of

It's Traffic Film
That Makes Motor
Car Look FrOwZy

It is traffic film" not the break

automobile that faded appear

The remedy is not the expensive
re-tinishing job that many motor
lists assume. Instead it is a rela-
lively inexpensive process known
as renovation" which brings back
The original finish with an even
higher gloss than when the car
first came from the showroom. In
the better class of paint shops,
renovation consists not only of re-
storing the original luster. but re-
painting the wheels, renewing

with lacquer.
The fact that the traffic film"

How to Test Brakes.
IT was just coming to that. The
, right way to have tested those brakes
would have been to jack up all four
wheels and with you at the wheel
pressing the brake pedal 1t would
have been easy to have tested the
wheels individually and compared
them. An actual driving test should
follow this. but the test does not have
to wear off rubber or strain the brake
mechanism. If those fellows knew
their business and wanted to he gem
timely conSiderate of your car, they
wouldn't have charged you with about
thousand miles OF tire wear. An

have been a far better proposition for

REPAIRING OF CARS
ON ROADS RAPED
Form of Highway Hogging
Is Denounced as DAN
gerous Stunt.

One form of road-hogging that Is
| ton at present is that of utilizing the
highway as a repair shop when some
thing goes wrong with the car. 1t
is type of selfishness which presents
very definite hazard and is one that
every motorist should make an es'
pecial effort to avoid. This is the
opinion of Ernest n. Smith. general
manager Of the American Automobile
Association.
with millions of motorists on the
road this Summer, it is obvious that
converting the highway into a tenn
porary repair shop in case any minor
trouble develops in the car is hazard
Gus practice" says Mr.. Smith. THE
greater volume of traffic, together
with the fact that many States have
raised the speed limit for automobiles,
makes this danger even greater than
in the past.
MANY motorists, however, appar-
emily are obliVious of this danger.
When tire goes flat, instead of pull
ing entirely off the road they are con-
tent to stop on the highway and make
the change. In the case of car
buretor adjustment or other minor re-
pair to the engine this is dangerous
enough, but when Il tire is to be
changed it is doubly hazardous be-
cause the operation requires consider
able moving around and the use of
several extra devices such as a jack
and lug wrench. Even If the car
itself is over on the edge of the road.
if the punctured tire is on the left
side it means that the motorist will
be working out in the line of travel.
with traffic bearing down upon
him from both directions, naturally
his position Is dangerous to himself
and to other motorists"

REDUCED GASOLINE
CONSUMPTION SEEN
Scientists Predict Automobile I'm.
provements Will Greatly Cut
Operating Costs.

That today's automobiles are closing
cars will not consume even the fuel
required by those which are now run
ming on the streets and highways OF
the Nation is the view of scientists
expressed at a recent meeting of the
American Chemical Society.
+. ID. killeffer. associate editor or
Industrial Engineering Chemistry,
said that motor improvements being
effected by some automobile manufac-
turers and contemplated by others, to-
gether with newly developed fuels.
will permit automobiles to cover 80 to
50 per cent more miles per gallon.
In addition to the reduction per mile
of gasoline consumption, a newly de-
veloped material to be used on bear
ings will greatly reduce lubricating
oil consumption. William Blum OF the
United States Bureau of Standards
said.
Compression ratio in engines villa be
considerably increased. scientists as
serted, explaining that the space at
the top of the cylinders will be much
smaller than at present, producing
higher compression. Ordinary gaso-
line will cause a knock" if used in an
engine of high compression. but
gases" have been developed eXplod-
ing slower.
1t is not expected that the new high
compression engines will be adopted
Immediately, although it was stated
unofficially that one of the largest au-
tomObile manufacturers is making
new cylinder heads to be fitted to au-
tOmobiles now in use to turn them
into igh-compressiOn plants.
Automobile engineers have calcu-
lated that the perfect automobile
would travel approximately $50 miles
on a gallon of gasoline under perfect
conditions. This machine, however,
would be so unsightly and uncom-
Portable that it would be difficult to
find any one willing to ride in 1t.

TAGS OF LIGHT BLUE.

Maryland automobile license tags
for 1928 will be easy on the eyes as
far as their color scheme is concerned.
They will have a light blue back
ground with white lettering and nu-
merals. Also they will be the same
size as the plates of former years, IS
inches long and inches wide, slight
ly larger than the tags of some other
States.
In accordance with an act of the
last Legislature. potorists may put
on their 1928 license tags on Decem-
Der IS. Such an arrangement, it Is
said, will tend to eliminate the rush
for tags which usually begins after
Christmas day of each year. Prior to
1927, automobile owners were not per-
mitted to operate their cars until the
first day of the year for which they
were issued,

ing about having persons jump all

way to get two squeaks or two rattles
in a car is to be too eager to get rid

TWO SPONGES NECESSARY

Many motor car owners make the
mistake of thinking they successfully
can use the same sponge for wash
ing both the body and running gear of
the car. 1t cannot be done. The sponge
that is used on chassis and wheels al
ways retains some dirt and grit no
matter how thoroughly it is rinsed
after the operation. These substances
are harmful to the body finish. 1t Is
best to keep two sponges handy and
never to get them confused

POLISH REMOVES STAINS.
Use of Water Is Not Best Way o.
Cleaning Car.

1t will be found that on cars finished
in one of the many lacquers, road dirt
and tar can be removed more easily
with a special polish rather than by
the use of water. In polishing, how
ever, 1t is important to refrain from
rubbing too hard. This is especially
true in the case of cars that have a
thin body stripe. 1t does not require
much polishing to eradicate such strip
ings and they mean lot to the gen
eral appearance Of the car.

CANTONESE
ARMY FORCED
TO RETREAT
Attacking Troops Turned
Back From Shanghai BY
Forces Under Pal PaO-Shan

Shanghai. Feb. 8. - (P) - The
shadow of the war god receded
somewhat from Shanghai today as
the city received reports that the
Cantonese army had been turned
back by defending forces under the
northern general, Pal Pao-Shan. and
was left in retreat some 200 miles
away.
The result has been that the pro-
posals for naturalization of the in
ternatlonal settlement here and for
eign plans for defense of the city in
case Of emergency became less press
ing questions.
Using the waterways west OF
Shanghai as his means of transpor-
tation, General Pal, one Of the lead
ers of Marshal Sun Chuan- Fang's
forces, joined his troops with the
main northern force in the Yenchow
region. Then, as the right wing OF
the northern army, he attacked, cap.
turing Chuchow, formerly held by
the nationalists, and permitting the
entire line to advance.
The natiOnalists retreated to
Changshan. near the kiangsi prov.
ince border, retaining only Il few
miles of Chekiang province territory
The southern push of the northerners
already is threading Changshan.
The nationalist militarists are in
conference at their base ut Nanchang

would appropriate $4,000 for sound
ing of the Missouri river at Stan

Of Il bridge at that point. A similar
bill was killed in the house.
Another would set July l, 1927, as
the final day for receiving claims
against North Dakota under the sol.
diers' bonus act. A measure intro
duccd by Senator W. l.. Martin, Nor

county officers hold office for -four
years instead Of two.

The latter reduces the license
period Of state elevators from two
