There’s a Filling Station Near > You—Look' For the Sign i stepped over to the dash of the . John Smith is a character whom every motorist should welcome. He is not selfish; rather he is a motoring martyr, a chap willing and glad to have exploited, in an interesting way, his experiences for the benefit of the other 10,000,000 or more members of th, No. 21: Knack in Cleaning. When Smith and T went to get our cars fut the garage we were surprised to find that his car did not look quite as dapper as it did several months ago. We had not noticed it before, but this time the car was standing beside a clean, highly polished ma- chine. The contrast was strong. It proved either of two things— that Smith's car was poorly finished or that Smith himself was finishing the finish through his ignorance of how to keep a car looking like new. He assured me that he had done everything any conscientious car owner should do. He pointed out the folly of judging the condition of his car by a brand-new machine, “A brand-new machine?" “Where is this new car Brmith looked at me pusslingly, then rin I asked. question and read the mileage. “By ginger!” he admitted. _“it has been run about 7,000 miles. How the mischief do they keep it that way? I haye my car washed regularly.” Frequent Washings Not Needed. “That is one reason why it looks so shabby,” 1 explained. “The car you are admiring has been washed twice— only twice. I have been watching the owner, and 1 am ready to state that his car has been out in all kinds of weather and over many varleties of roads. When the body is covered with dust, or even mud, he cleans it off carefully with an oily rag. “About once a week he has the garage man polish his car all over. He is a great believer in polish and knows well enough that the car gets | enough water in the rain without washing the paint away with a hose and chamois. He doesn't give the garage people any business at the washstand, but he compromises by paying them to dry clean and polish the car. It saves him a lot of money in the long run, and they are just as well satisfied.” But I should think this treatment would scratch the hood,” Smith argued. T asked him to step over to where 1 stood so that he could view the hood at a certain angle. How to Scratch C: “Do you see those fine scratches when you get the car in a certain light?” 1 asked. He said that he would not notice them unless his at- tention were called to it. “Without water,” I admitted, “you are bound to scratch the finish slightly, but it is only noticeable at times, whereas when a car is washed everlastingly it soon becomes dull all over. It looks dull all the time from whatever angle you view it. Of course, it is advisable to wash the car several times when it is new in order to harden the varnish. And perhaps if the car has been through | a lot of mud a wash will be neces- sary. But that is all I can show you other cars in the garage which prove this point, too. Here is one machine which' has already been repainted, vet it has only been driven about 9,000 miles. The second coat is being washed off, too. Yet here is another car which did not require repainting until its fifth year. I have it straight from \ e motor clan. the owner that he has the car washed.” Smith agreed thai the “drys” were better kept cars, but asked if didn’t take all of & man's time keep- ing them clean Real Secret of Cleaning. “That is the secret in cleaning a can” I told him. “The next time this car comes in watch the owner. 1t stead of jumping out the car and ru ning off as if he were ashamed it e spends about five minutes dust ing it off. On alternate nights he may clean portitons of the nickel trimmings or touch up here and there with a little black enamel. You will notice that occasionally he cleans the top of the car with leather dress- ing. He spends no more time on hi car than you do, only he does it a little bit” at a’ time—like saving money.” “How about taking care of his en gine?’ Smith asked. “That's more Im- Portant than the bod “He cares for that, t0o,” I replied, “and on the same plan. But here's another thought: If you happen to neglect some vital part of the chassis and have to replace it with a new part the bill may cost you, for exam- Dle. $50. With the new part the car will be as good as it was before. But just let your car get dull, rusty and covered with scratches and dents, then get an estimate on repairing that. Even used-car dealers have a habit of judging the worth of a car by its looks. It's natural.” Smith bought some polish that afternoon. which is the reason why Mrs. Smith wondered where her dust cloths had gone. Next week: “Meeting the Engine.” (Copsright, 1923, by the Ulman Feture Service.) —_— The Color of Gold. From the Toledo Blade. ‘When you look at a bit of pure gold you are quite well satisfied that it is of a light yellow color. It only ap pears so. The white light refiected from its surface has the effect of adulterating the color rays from the metal and it appears much lighter than it really is. If this white light is eliminated. the color a brilliant orange. Beaten to its greatest pos- sibility of thinness, it becomes trans parent o light, and, held up and look- ed through, it becomes a lively saze green. Reduced to a fine powder, | becomes ruby red. and when vaporized it becomes purple e Too Much for a Watch. From the Nashille Baner. A fussy old fellow was g a journey on a branch line. The train had slowed down again after stopping several times. The old man’s patience became exhausted, and, taking out h watch, he said to a fellow passenger “How much is this train overdue “Well, sir,” was the reply, “a watch 't no good: you need a calendar.” positively mnever — WHOLESALE AND RETAIL RIMS FOR ALL CARS SERVICE TIRE CO. 1336 14th St. N.W.
