Don't try to economic on per-
iodical changes. have the mot
or flushed out every time you
change oil...
Keep the engine and sur
rounding areas clean so that
your ignition wires do not lie in
grease and oil. -.
CHECK FREQUENTLY
Have your carburetor adjust
ment inspected occasionally.
check your spark plugs and dis
tributor points at least every
10000 miles. . be sure the rou-
tine greasing and oiling job is
done by experts. ..
Finally, don't drive your car
any faster than necessary and
don't race the motor when 1t is
cold.
These are the more essential
recommendations of automotive
engineers who would help you
keep your car in operation as
long as possible with minimum
expense for repairs. AS q general
proposition, the engineers tell
you the best thing to do with an
automobile engine once 1t comes
into your hands is to let it. alone
or have essential services per-
formed by trained mechanics.
In developing the better auto.
mobile of the last decade, how
ever, the engineers have fitted
all parts closer, measuring them
in millionths of an inch, in
creasing the need for proper
fabrication to combat friction.
So the responsibility of keeping
your oil supply at the proper
level is distinctly your own.
MANY EVILS
Too much oil in the crankcase
means fouled plugs; too little
means burned out crankshaft
bearings; trying to make two
changes serve for three may
have the same effect as too little
oil. The ordinary individual is
not qualified to test the viscosity
of his engine oil, 50 the safe
procedure Is to change it every
1000 miles.
Contrary to popular impress
sion, spark plugs do not have to
be change every 10000 miles
just because they have been used
that long; they should be in
spected frequently, however, to
be sure the points are clean and
properly spaced.
Racing the motor when It Is
cold Is equivalent to running II
without oil; warm it up slowly
in sub-freezing weather and hold
your clutch out at the same time
to lessen the load on the pistons
and crankshaft.
The recommendations outlin-
ed here are essentials; there are
numerous other things that can
be done, but if these are follow
ed you can reasonably expect to
minimize your repair bills and
embarrassments that might re-
suit from a shortage of replace
ment parts.

Rummage Sale Plans
Annual Event This Month to Benefit
Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Club

These are busy days at the
former Lotus Lantern Tea Room,
where preparations are being
made for the annual rummage
sale of the Soldiers, Sailors and
Marines Club, which will be held
April %, % and "a.
1t is most fitting that the tea
room, which is soon to be de-
molished and replaced by Gov
ernment buildings, should be
used for the purpose of helping
the club where men of the en-
listed personnel of the services
get board, lodging and entertain
ment at minimum prices.
These prices can only be main
tanned by the arduous efforts of
volunteer workers, wives and
mothers of officers of the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps. These
women, some with heavy hearts
and anxious thoughts of their
men folk fighting in ships or on
foreign shores, still give their
time and devote their services to
this club for the sons of other
mothers.
For months rummage has been
stored at the club, where it has
been the cause of much interest
and envy on the part of Minnie,
the cook, and her assistants
also some members of the club

who know good bits of furniture
and bric-a-brac when they see
them. Choice pieces have been
picked out for purchase the mo-
ment the doors are opened at the
sale.
Since its removal to the tea
room the rummage has attracted
attention. Passersby wander in
to look at the goods and to get
information. One almost daily
masculine visitor gazes longingly
at and has offered to make a de-
post on the objects of his choice,
a Victrola and pair of shoes.
Efficiently helping in the COL
lection and delivery of the rum
mage is the new organization of
service juniors, under the leader
ship of Mrs. Robert P. Patterson
and Mrs. Ralph A. Bard, who are
also honorary chairmen of the
sale. The chairman is Mrs.
Thomas M. Robins and her as
sistant chairman is Mrs. w. A. P.
Blandy.

call is made to the Soldiers, Sail
ors and Marines Club, Executive

If there is any opposition 10 the

In fact. many dealers in the

the hours can be shortened even
beyond that. They pleaded lack
