MOTORISTS NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO BUY AUTO ACCESSORIES. That the automobile owners are net the only ones who buy automobile ac- cessories was proven here a few days ago. A farmer from a nearby rural district went into a local accessory store and bought one of those spike locks that fit around the automobile wheel. That avenlnr the accessory dealer was taking his family to the movies, and just as_he drove up to the theater in his flivver the same farmer drove up and parked his bug- 1 right next to the fligyer. After the (M. ‘armer had helped his family out of the buggy he reached under the seat and putled out the spike lock and went “over and snapped it on the wheel of the buggy. We print this story as a suggestion to the spike lock manufacturers that they include this possible use o fthe spike lock in their advertisements. News Notes.

If the motor picks up turn the slow speed adjustment to the right four turns if It is a four-cylinder car, or eight turns if it is an eight-cylinder car. The high speed adjustment is sometimes made according to the number of tires on the car. If you carried two spares the adjustmenmt would be six turns. . The motor will bably slow down after this operat| but only shows that the adjustment was made correctly. 1f, however, the motor should stop entirely or ‘should start to run backward that is a sign that the trouble was not with the car- buretor being out of adjustment, but with dirt in the gas line. As this article {s written on “How to Adjust a Corburetor.” we, of course,” cannot discuss the gas line at this ti We will, however, our This number should be Gas Line.’ y any who start to adjust procured the carburetor and find that the trou- ble is with the gas line. Should any reader find himself in this predica- ment and not care to wait for our Christmas number to find out how to cure the trouble, we suggest that he takes his car to the nearest garage.

THE HAYNES SERVICE STATION HAS MOVED to much larger and finer quarters at 1815 L Street N. W. ™ You remember, when we started in business, we prom- ’ ised Haynes owners the finest service that could be rendered. To that end we purchased the building at 1337 Fourteenth street. But our tremendous volume of sales—132 new cars in 100 days of business—has already made that building inadequate. So, in keeping faith with Haynes owners, we have leased the three-story building at 1815 L street, conveniently located just around the corner from our salesroom, which gives us six times as much floor space as formerly, and enables us to guar- antee the maintenance of our uequalled service standard.
