VOLUME 33. E Editorial UNDERWRITERS FOR REGION TQ Effect of Law Will Be Lacking Until New Tags Are Issued. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 8.—(Special to The Tribune) —The effect of the 1923 Wyoming legislature’s anti- automobile theft law, which will not be thoroughly felt until after 1924 automobile licenses have been issued, will be such that a reduction in the Wyoming rates for automobile insurance against theft may be materially reduced, ac- cording to the Rocky Mountain Fire ‘Underwriters’ association. The law, which became effective July 1, pro- vides for the proper showing of title before a state license 1s issued to the owner of an automobile and also provides heavy penalties for the theft of a car, the giving of a false bill of sale or the theft of accessories exceeding $20 in value. necessity for procuring and filing for record bills of sale for automobiles before a 1924 license can secured, and this dissatisfaction !s expected to be more pronounced during the next two months, the period during which the majority of 1924 licenses will be issued. Once the law has been complied with by automobile owners, however, it is anticipated that its protection against theft, and the resulting decrease {n insurance rates, will make it popular. An automobile owner is annoyed only once by the necessity for procuring and filing a bill of sale, as once such a document is on file that fact wil) entitle the owner to state licenses, without further filing, so long as the car covered by the bill of sale remains in his ownership. The automobile loss ration in ‘Wyoming in 1921 was 189 per cent, according to the Rocky Mountain underwriters’ association's figures, and in 1922 86 per cent. The 1923 ratio is expected to be less than the latter figure, and the 1924 ratio, with the new law fully effective, consider- ably less. MAKE REVISION, Che Casper SECOND NEWS SECTION. UP THE CAR FOR WINTER Should you find it necessary to put your car in storage for the winter months, there are one or two precautions you should take so that when you take your car out again in the spring, it will be tn good con- dition and ready to run. Store it in a dry building, for dampness is fatal to the finish and exposed metal parts Rub some vasoline on all exposed nickel fit- tings, hub caps, spark and throttle levers etc. Cover the body with elther a cloth or paper covering to prevent dust from settling on the finish, If dust is allowed to accumulate on the varnished surface, it will eat into the varnished surface and take out the lustrous finish. If you are golug to lay it up for more than three months, then it is better to remove the tires from the wheels and wrap them in burlap and store in a dark place with a mader ate temperature. If you are not going to lay it up for more than three months, then it will not be necessary to remove the tires, just jack up the wheels, placing blocks under the axles to keep the tires off the floor and partially deflate them. The top should be thoroughly cleaned and kept in a raised position, and not folded up, Put up the side curtains to keep dust out of the interior of the car. Drain all water out of the cooling system, and run the engine for a few minutes after you have dra'ned cup of pure Castor oll into each cylinder through the spark plug holes, then turn the motor over four or five times by hand. This will lubricate the cylin- der walls thoroughly.and keep them in good condition. The Clutch should be permanently blocked out so that the clutch discs or facings are free from pressure. A block of wood can be pplaced be- tween the clutch pedal and the front of the seat to hold the clutch out. Remove the battery from the car, and take it to a reliable battery service station. They will, for a very small cost, keep {t in good condition for you until you are ready to use it again. If you leave it in the car, it will gradually become dis- charged and will certainly su!phate up, and perhaps will freeze. Once a battery is frozen it is useless. —————$—_—____ Winter makes no difference !n the new car sales at the Coliseum Motor Co, They deliver ‘em as fast they come in, and have completed a great warehouse to care for many Dodge's in preparation for the Spring demand.
