The early bird still catches the worm, even though he travels in a high-powered motor car with balloon tires and everything. No one knows this better than the Washington service stations. Every now and agaip some early bird drives in with his car and has something or other attended to before the day's rush starts. Most owners trail in from 10 o'clock on, and too often ars disappointed in their desire for instantaneous service. The slogan of every reputable service station fis “At your convenience,” but, like all ideals, this is hard to live up to, particularly when car owners make the mistake of taking advantage of it. Hence, the wise car owner realizes that a service station frequently can be at the customer's convenience to better advantage if the customer will aim to bring in his car at the time of day when the service station would find it more snvenient to take on a short, rush job. Th e motorist who knows that his ear is to be held for a few days naturally hates to mive it up. He'll find a half dozen excuses for postponing the trip to the shop. And when he finally does drive in with it some time during the afternoon he almost always insfsts upon completion of the job at as early a date as had been agreed upou if he had brought the car in early. Naturally when some other motorist comes in with & request that will “only take a minute,” some one has got to be the loser. Make it early if you would make it snappy. NEW YORK AUTO SHOW | MARYLAND ROAD OILING RETURNS FROM BRONX|PROGRAM WELL ADVANCED Grand Central Palace Will House| Total Surface to Be Treated in 1926 Exhibit in Enlarged 1925 Will Be Completed Quarters. by July 1. BALTIMORE, March 14.—The Mary- land State road olling program for 1925, which calls for treating the surfaces of 430 miles of State roads, will be completed by July 1, accord- ing to Harry D. Williar, jr., assistant engineer of tho Maryland State roads commission. Approximately 1,200,000 gallons of ofl will be required to treat these roads. The program includes the olling of main roads In all but three countles, in addition to 90 miles of gravel roads In the southern part of the State. Blds for this work already have been filed with the commission. Radio Waves Stall Autos. The news that radio waves are suspected of being the cause of mys- terious stalling of auto engines in a French town is interesting, but not sigmificant. Less wonderful things ™ radio waves do it every day. The national automobile show of will be transferred from the armory in the Bronx to the Grand Central Palace, New York City, ac- cording to a decision of the members of the Natlonal Automobile Chamber of Commerce, under whose auspices the exhibit is conducted annually The change from the palace to the armory was made two years ago be- cause space at the Grand Central was inadequate to fill the requirements of manufacturers whq desired to show a iderable number of models, and use of the fact that the entrances and exits were not sufficlent to care for the crowds. Since the 1923 show, however, the floor plans of the palace have becn rearranged, enabling the car exhibitors and most of the ac- cessory exhibitors to be accommo- dated. Also the number of exits and entrances has been doubled and four elevators added. Another argument in favor of the Palace for the 1926 show is its accessibillty, Aside from the big attendance of public the national show, it was visited by more than 8,800 dealers from 41 States and 13 foreign coun- tries.

You have been told to carry a few halrpins, a magnet, a rubber tube, a bulb, string, Wire and other odditles, but have you been told why? Haltrpins will help you clean out a clogged carburetor or vacuum tank. If you drop & small, but necessary, screw in the pan under the engine a magnet will locate it for you. With & rubber tube and your oil g:n you can draw gasoline from the main tank with virtually no trouble, or drain oft water from the radlator if you want to add alcohol and do not want to crawl under the car to open up the drain. A rubber bulb will suck gasoline up the line to the vacuum tank. GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE SOUGHT BY SCIENTISTS French Experts Testing for New Form of Fuel for Motor Vehicles. Agitation in the interest! of con- servation of the world’s supply of gasoline may lead to the discovery of some other fuel for motor vehicles it tests about to be made by French sclentists prove practical. The Petroleum Scientific Society of France in connection with the min- istry of war and other organizations will conduct a test this Fall for trucks, in which all the machines en- tered will be required to use charcoal, coke or mixtures of the same as fuel. Neither gasoline nor oil may be used as fuel, except to start the engines. The tests will be made over a con- siderable distance to prove the prac- tieability of these products as motor vehicle fuels. Entries will be confined to ma- chines manufactured in France, and probably Belgium. The Automobile Club of France is in charge of the en- tries.

Through the efforts of Raphael Semmes, president of the Semmes Motor Co., a specially designed Dodge boat will compete in the annual Southern boat race to be held this week at Miami, Fla. Mr. Semmes heads a committen of 30 Dodge Brothers dealers from all parts of the country who are responsible for the construction and entry of the| boat. It was designed by George I | Crouch, and 1s similar in appearance | to the Dodge water car. | As a memorial to his father, Horace E. Dodge, automobile manufacturer | and ploneer in boat racing, Horace L. | Dodge, jr, will award a handsome trophy to the winner of a special| race to be run during the Miami | meet. The race will be open to boats | of all sizes and descriptions. The Dodge memorial trophy is a silver model of a ship of the Colum- bus type, designed and now being completed by Henry B. Culver of New York. ‘While Mr. Dodge is one of the most enthusiastic of boat racers he refused | to compete for his own trophy the first year. Mr. Semmes, for many years a friend of the Dodgo familie: however, determined that a Dodge boat should be represented in the | race. Accordingly, he began nego- tiations which terminated in the con- struction of the special boat. Keep Steering Gear Oiled.
