PROPER INITIATION NEED
Tires Should Be Kept Up to Right
Pressure.

Keeping the tires up to the proper
air pressure Is q most important fea-
ture of good car care that the average
motorist too frequently overlooks, II Is
pointed out by Rudolph Jose, veteran
local motor car dealer.
UNLESS pressures are carefully
watched" Mr.. Jose says, at means that
the tires will wear out long before their
steering systems, of the fnger-tip va
riety, are finely balanced, and their
proper functioning depends very def
niteiy upon the maintenance Of GER
rect tire pressure"

Automobile Technical Adviser.

Some motorists complain because the
cost of owning an automobile seems
excessive. They maintain that after
they have driven car for year or
so, the machine is about done for and
has to be turned in at small credit
toward a new car. This is no doubt
true In far too many cases. One OF
the greatest items of expsnse in operat-
ing an automobile comes from abuse in
the handling of very complicated
mechanism and from neglect in provid-
ing the very simple care required to
keep the parts from being subjected to
excessive wear.
The Appraiser Knows.
The used car appraiser, who looks
the car over with critical eye when
new one knows that length Of time
in service or numbsr of miles showing
on the speedometer cannot be used in
establishing the value of the car. Two
identical models that have been in use
for a like period Of time, may vary sew
eral hundred dollars in their value to
the new car dealer who is considering
purchasing them as part payment on a
new car. The cost of owning q car

ton If the owner provides the necessary
care in the fabrication Of all parts,
keeps the body finish In good condition,
more expensive dents In the body by
keeping clear Of collision with other
objects. Tires which are worn smooth
through being run on wheels that have
been Knocked out of alignment, through
too strenuous contact with the curb,
or from other causes, serve to decrease
the resale value Of the car, as do torn
or spotted upholstery, and other EVIL
dences Of severe usage and inadequate
care. The buyer Of used car Is not
willing to pay for the neglect Of the
original owner, and it Is mistaken
idea that any car Of given make and
used car market.
Costs Vary.
The cost of purchasing an automobile
depends largely upon what the buyer
requires or desires In q car. II the
aim Is only to procure transportation
at minimum cost, It Is possible to
purchase q car at q very low figure.
This low price is generally made pos
sible because public acceptance Of the
product has made It possible for the
manufacturer to produce them In large
numbers.
This very popularity may, however,
make the ownership of the car unde-
sirable. If .exclusiveness is the aim II
may be procured through the purchase
Of less popular make, generally at o
higher price. Reflnements that make
for appearance, ease Of operation, ride
ing comfort, ETC., may also add to the
cost Of ownership. The buyer has con-
troll of what his initial outlay shall be

REFINING FACTOR IN OIL

Matters, Surveys Show.
The production Of satisfactory
fabrication oils today depends more
largely on the right refining processes
than on the crude oils from which
they are made, according to 28S
members of the Society Of Automotive
Engineers, which includes prominent
automotive, marine, aeronautical and
industrial engineers, Army, Navy
municipal and State oficials. This
was revealed In the third of a series OF
surveys Of expert opinion on lubri-
cants recently undertaken by the New
York University. Bureau OF Business
Research, for the purpose Of throwing
light on an important question Of the
day; namely, the relation between crude
oils and the quality of lubricating oils.
Five hundred and fifty-six members of
the Society of Automotive Engineers

TINE great hurricanes Of recent
years have aroused much in:
tereSt on the part of the pub
i lie, with the result that nu-
merous requests have been re-
ceived by the Weather Bureau relative
to the time Of year hurricanes occur,
the area affected, the frequency of their
occurrence on the Gulf and South At
lantic Coasts in the past and the proba-
bility Of their future occurrence.
All disturbances, or lows, as they are
designated on the daily weather maps,
are cyclones-that Is, they all have a
central area Of small extent where the
atmospheric pressure is low, with grad
ually increasing pressure outward from
this center, around which the wind
blows CONFERENCE.-The in the North
ern Hemisphere and clockwise in the
disturbances develop in the temperate
zones and are called extra-tropical cy-
clones. As rule, they do not become
sufficiently severe to cause winds OF
dangerous velocity, and they move on
an average 400 or 500 miles a day to-
ward the east, northeast or southeast,
because the general circulation Of the
atmosphere in the temperate zones Is,
IN general, In the same direction.

The relatively rare cyclonic disturb
ances that form within the tropics are
called tropical cyclones, and they al

French Academicians
Upset by ''Talkies"

/, Two seats are vacant In the French
Academy, those of Georges Clemen-
ceau, former prime minister, and Of
Francois de Curel, the dramatist. The
inmortals gathered for the election.
Among them were many OF the great
names Of France-Joffre, Bazin, De
Regnier. Valery, Bordeaux, Provost.
But no election took place, because the
grave academicians were upset by an
untoward incident. Outside their meet
ing room was an internal machine Of
some new. fantastic design-people
called it @ sound news-fllm camera.
With single accord, the old men bolted
would have none Of 1t. They refused
flatly to countenance any such new
tangled contraption, and the talkie men
had to go home without shot. Among
the candidates mentioned for election to
the. Academy are Marshal Petain and
Andre Tardieu, the prime minister. Tar
dieu was once o literary man by pro-
fession, in that for many years he was
chief editorial writer Of the Temps and
Is author of many books, notably
France and America" and his monu-
mental volume on the peace treaties.

ssESCALATOR" CLAUSE
HELD BOND UPON u. S.
Tense Franco-Italian Situation Is Seen

by this wholly unparalleled device. On
the one hand, not few American
critics have observed that this Is actu-
ally a trick on the part of the British
to evade parity and to continue su-
premacy; on the other, friends OF the
treaty have argued that the "escalator"
clause is of little importance because
there is small chance that it will eyer
be invoked. Both conclusions seem to
be unfounded.
On the one hand, nothing which
happened at London seems to me to
warrant any suspicion that the British
are seeking to evade parity. For them
the "eScalator" clause Is purely and
simply q means of retaining that two
power standard, which Is the basis OF
their traditional security in Europe.
But on the other hand, as things now
stand, 1t is almost certain to be invoked
and that within two years. This neces-
sity must arise as a result of the state
of Franco Italian relations.
The black spot of London was that
It accumulated Franco-Italian bitterness
and left the Italians determined to
build as they could and the French to
keep an advantage of at least third,
roughly 100000 tons, over Italy. Thus,
unless financial collapse or political up
heaval stops Italy-and neither Is likely
today-France must fulfill her program
with the result that Britain must invoke
the "escalator" clause probably not later
than 1892.
None Mobiles Own Security.
What the American people see too
inexactly Is that while no European
country is concerned directly with
American naval strength and while the
British are perfectly ready to agree to
parity, not a single European state,
beginning with Britain, Is ready to mod
ify its own policies of national security
to enable us to have parity with Brit
ain cheaply.
Moreover, the claim made by certain
champions of the London treaty that
events at the conference made Franco
italian adjustment likely is demon
strably untrue. Negotiations to this
end will 60 on with Britain participate
ing, but the promise of success Is nil for
the simple reason that both countries
are equally resolved to resist the policy
Of the other. Italy will not abandon
her claim for parity or France concede
It and there Is no middle ground for
compromise. Italy is going to build all
she can, France can build all she needs
to retain her present advantage. This
means that Britain will have to invoke
the "escalator" clause and the United
States embark upon q considerable ana
expensive supplementary program long
before 1886, the date when the treaty Of
London expires.

Tight Gown Delays

No one, including the towns best

45-minute delay which occurred the
morning of the royal wedding at the
Pauline chapel in the Quirinal palace
In Rome Finally talkative seamstress
solved the mystery. When Princess
Marie-Jose called for her dressmakers
to don the expensive bridal gown, much
to the establishment of all those present,
it turned out to be too tight for her.
After a series of exhalations and sug-
gestions, her dressmakers decided to
pick the cape from the dress and to
sew 1t on q white evening gown. In
all the photographs taken of Princess
Marie that day, it will be noticed that
she is wearing interminable white kid
gloves and a decollete. Before leaving
for the Vatican the royal couple had
obtained the Pope's permission that
Princess Marie would be received de-
spite her low-necked dress since she
was not to blame for 1t.
