PHE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, MAY 18 1930—PART FOUR. FIRST BUY AN AUTD,| | american mstory BY moToR— THEN SAFEGUARD IT Care in Breaking in a Car Deemed Essential—Other Duties Outlined. BY RALPH HEPBURN, Noted Racing Pilot. When you have decided what size of €ar to buy—whether it be a four, six or eight cylinder, and you have picked the type of body best suited to your needs, 1t 1s then time for you to make up your mind that you are going to give that car the attention it needs. Care in breaking in a car means a lot. It may double or treble the life of | your car, regardless of what make it is. Choose with care what kind of gasoline and oil you buy. It will pay you large dividends. I have a friend who listened to this advice and he has thanked me many times. He has had three new cars in nine years, all of the same make. And when he turns his old car in for a new one the increased allowance ays him for his care. In all three rade-ins he has been allowed as much money as the average one or two year ©old _car brings. He washes his cars, or has them washed, once a week. 'And each time he sees that the grease cups ¢ e filled. Every 500 miles he changes the oll in the crankcase and refills the trans- mission and the differential when the car instructions bid him do so. Taking my advice he uses only high- grade lubricants, This decision was arrived at only | after years of racing on tracks and driving on roads. The automobile must be regarded in much the same manner as the human body. 1If it is to perform effictently and economically the motor must be put on the proper diet Many motorists are careless about the kind of gasoline and oil they ’pur— chase. I notice frequently that it is these motorists who complain about the “lemon” they have bought. The modern gas station is equip}wd to ol and grease your car in a few minutes. The expenditure of these few minutes will pay you. » Marine Corps Notes It was stated at corps headquarters "Puesday that official orders will shortly be issued directing that Maj. Edwin N.

By its patented principle the ability of the 6- cylinder type is freed to the limit. It is responsible for a performance and smoothness that belong exclus vely to the Essex Challenger. And it so thrilled engineers with its pos- sibilities that a whole series of remarkable inventions and improvements have followed in its train. These go to make. the brilliant New Essex Challenger of today. That is why we say—and more buyers every day are saying—‘“mnot just a Six, but a Super-Six.” The New ESSEX Challenger Gives Sparkling Performance " = The remarkable Essex performance results from a completely balanced high-compression motor and power line. Just think, against the old-style cast iron pistons that some makers still offer, Essex gives balanced 4-ring aluminum pistons, balanced crank- shaft and flywheel, the Lanchester balancer for smoothness in pickup, a balanced clutch, drive shaft and universals. More power results, with smoother acceleration, higher speed and low fuel consumption. A fuel booster is provided for fast driving. New 0il System Adds Long Life It means more and cooler oil to all bemngu. No overheating of this motor. No scoring or excessive wear on moving parts. Radiator shutters give further control of motor heat from dash. Roller valve tappets and adjustable front end timing chain aid quiet operation.
