The stream, with a vicious cunnipg, had so weakened the foundations that the bridge was fairly a trap for Mr Jalmcke and his Packard Twin Six touring car, When the automobile was fairly on the bridge, the structure gave way. The car’turned over and disappeared, leaving only part of one rear wheel and a fender showing above the tur- Mr. Jahncke was ob- liged to swim desperately to get away. 7 “This accident occurred at 2 o’clock in the afternoon,” said Mr. Jahncke, “and with the help of farm hands and a good pair of oxen, we were able to get the machine out of the creek, as the water had receded in a few hours to enable us to work. When we right- ed it, much to the/surprise of myself and the onlookers, I tried the car and the machine actually started! How- ever, when the car turned over, the batteries were emptied and we knew we would need distilled water to re- plenish them. This seemed a knotty problem, until we thought of two bot- tles of pop which had stayed in the machine. We poured the contents of these two bottles into the battery. “At'9 o'clock th night we were You Cannot Heat Your ] engine to a point where Pa hard Oil will not lubricate it.

You will never-get full value out of | your c4r until you oil the springs--- There is more friction bearing surfate in a set of auto springs than in all the rest of the car. Springs are exposed and quickly rust, the result is squeaking and jerking. Stiff, dry, inactive springs mean hard riding, broken spring leaves and the necessity of shock absorbers. Well lubricated springs take the bumps out of the road, save tires and frame, and make riding a comfort and pleasure. The action of springs is intended to be smooth. To accomplish this, they must be oiled. " CLW.SPRING OILER- ATTACHED ~ WE CAN OIL THEM FOR 25 CENTS. Oue device tits over the springs and oils them uni- formly, and will outlast the life of your car.
