They are: 1. Clean the crank case thoroly every 500 to 1,000 miles and when |* changing from one brand of motor oll to another. 2. Flush the crank case only with fresh lubricating oll of the grade used in service—never with kerosens or so-called “flushing” oils. It has been the practice qmong many motorists to keep thelr cars only a year or two and then trade in for new cara.

There is hardly a state which has not already passed, or is con- sidering, a gasoline tax, And this |in spite of the fact that a federal injunction has been drawn against eollection of the tax in Arkansas and that the supreme court is con- sidering its validity, California, in fact, has two bills that would levy taxes on motor vehicle tires aa well. Bills to tmit tho weight of trucks ro intended not so much for taxa- tion purposes as for the mainte- mance of highways. Heavy fines are proposed for overweight vehicl In Texaa, if one bill became law, truck owner would have to pay duty based on the engine horsepower and weight of tne truck, so that a 60- horsepower vehicle weighing five tons would be taxed $525, Compulsory insurance 1s gaining headway throughout the country. The law proposed in Massachusetts seems fair and ts favored by the motor clubs. By it, the state would charge every motorist $10 a year and insure him for $5,000. That would furnish more than $4,000,000 as an insurance fund to atart with, ACCESSORY BOOSTERS Auto clubs aro denouncing the various “accessory bills’? proposed in the state legislatures, Such, for in- stance, as requiring a mechanical aignal to show which way the auto- iat intends to turn, or one requiring @ radiator cap attachment showing @ greon ight to the left and a red 6.

An- other bill would require the Installs. tion of a governor on each engine to control the car's mpeed. | Besides, there are all sorte of un- Classified bills, A Californian, for lexample, would make speed traps egal. Another would require thumb prints on each operator's ll. conse, In Illinois, the license and engine numbers of every auto taken into a garage would have to be re- corded, if one bill became law, These’ give only an idea of tho sonttered arriy of bills before tho | state legislatures at present. |Another Substitute for “Gas” Appears Another hope 1s held out to Seattle motorists when it was learned Satur- day that the fifth gasoline substitute to be advortined from South Africa aa & means of lowering the cost of au- tomobiling has Just been reported to the department of commofce, by Trade Commiasioner P.
