Soap .
New cars. are coming through with
two types of finishes practically
standard: Baked Enamel on steel
bodies and ono of «vital types of
Pyroxalln Finish on others. True.
there are stills. number of cars flit-
lshed with varnishes but it happens
that the some care as is recommend;
ed for the new finishes is also the
best for varnished surfaces.
Cur manufacturers seem satisfied
that the new finishes are more dur-
able than the old varnish method.
Nevertheless. they,are far from ‘fool.
proof' and unless caret. ior proper.
in will not stand up. ,
Dry dirt should positively not be
rubbed off them. The protecting
iilm of the finish ls extremely thin
and under it is paint. Excessive rub-
bing of dirt and dust will wear
away the finishing coats in a short
time and when this protecting suro
lace ls obliterated, the paint will
quickly follow.
Light dust such as accumulates
when the car stands in the garage
can be removed with a soft: duster—
not a feather duster. However the
oil-laden dust picked up after a long
ride or after a week of shopping 'or
business cells must be washed off
and never rubbed dry. Plenty of
clcarcold water and a scientifically
compounded non-alkali automobile
soap is the only cleansing property
to use in this instance.
Washing. when properly done. and
the proper materials used, is the best
way to preserve the finish of a motor
car. whether it be finished in Baked
Enamel. Lacquer. Varnish or one of
the various types Pyroxalin Finish.
When improperly done or when the
wrong kind of soap is used. such as
kitchen or laundrp scan. the‘ wash-
ing does more harm than good.
There is no skill necessary to wash
a car properly. The job is what you

be hard. If you make it a hard iob
you are doing it wrong.
Here's how the car should be
washed: .
that off dirt and dust by tuning
do not use nozzle on hose. After the
clear. cold water. a soapy solution
should be applied. The scan should
be thoroughly dissolved—about a
tablespoonful—no more—to a Dell of
cold water. A. sponge well soaked
with the soapy solution will quickly
dissolve oil. grease and mud. "and
they will then float off.
Apply soapy solution to a small
area. of the car's surhce at a tin't‘e
and after the application of the
soapy solution to a certain area rihse
it off thoroughly.
Us! a good soap—the best you can
get. The cost of the soap to wash a
car is insignificant and cheap soaps
will ruin the finish. One good soap.
practically standard in. all high
grade garages is known as Mobo
Auto Soap. .‘ .
The final operation is s. thorough
rinsing with plenty clear cold water
chamois.
The top and imitation leather up-
holstery should be cleansed in the
same way-Gasoline and Kerosene
should never be used for they will
ruin both the finish and the uphol-
stery.
TWO sponges are necessary to
properly wash a car—one for the
body exclusively and one exclusively
for the .running gear. Be sure the
sponges are of high quality because
cheap sponges are generally infested
with grit and coral particles that
scratch and mar the car‘s finish.
A weekly washing as described
above is the best possible life insur-
ance for the finish,of a car. It will
.not only keep itmew-look‘ing at all
times. but. will also put money in the
pocket of the owner by keeping it
out of the paint shop.

. Tells of Care Taken
By His. Company to
Aid Car Owners
- By 1". W. HENNING.
Director of Maintenance 'of tho
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company.
Because of the very nature of the
duty an automobile must perform,
every part is a hard-working part.
While. of course. there are some
units that receive much greater wear
and must withstand much heavier
loads than others.’all parts are af-
fected to a. greater or lesser degree
every time the car makes an abrupt
stop. strikes a deep rut in the road
or is driven at. high speed. It is con.
tlnually being pounded and pulled
with ‘ almost unbelieirably heavy
blows and yanks even in ordinary
use on the streets of your city.
A big factor of safety must be pro-
vided to make every part stand the
load of these extra. but often recur-
ring. stresses. I’arts made especial-
ly for the purpose must be used.
' They must not only be made to look
like-the right units, but they must
conform to the some specifications
as to hardness. toughness. flexibil-
ity and ductility; They must not
- only be perfectly machined but they
must be correctly hardened. heat-
treated. inspected and treated. The
mterial that goes into them must
be of exactly the proper composition
to give entire satisfaction with the
usage each part receives.
A part: like, an axle shaft that is
to transmit power and withstand ex-
ceedingly heavy loads must be‘tough
and capable of glvinga little without
becoming distorted.. The steel of
vtain definite elements in their cor-
rect proportions. The metal in a
bearing. on the other hand. msut be
alloyed to exact specifications that
will give it the kind of strength its
service commands.
But the questions arise: "How is
.the owner to get parts made exact-
ly as the engineers have specified?
How is be .with no laboratory at his
disposal to khow if they are or are
not up to specifications?" The In.
swer is simple—insist on genuine
Paige and Jewett repair parts.
All genuine Paige and Jowett serv-
ice parts are given the same rigid
inspection that is,glven production
units. They are checked with the
' Scleroscope. an instrument made for
testing the hardness of materials.
They are assayed by chemists. They
are micrometered ‘for exact size by
trained inspectors. Their heat-treat.
merit, machining and finish are-care.
fully inspected.
Parts that do not freely pass every
stage of this inspectioniare'reiectsd.
Many of those and their way onto
the market. They cannot be expect-
ed to give the some ntiafactlon that
perfect parts would. if a replaced
unit is to be expected to give as
much satisfaction as an original unit

MOTOR NOTES
Always lubricate 'spring shackles
after washing the car or after driv-
ing over wot roads.
‘ Never use a lock washer the sec-
ond time. When a washer of this
type is removed do not put it back:
use a new one.
Never wash the radiator or the
hood when hot. Heat causes the
water to dry almost instantly. dis-
coloration takes place and the high-
iy enameled surfaces lose their lus-
tre.

The automobile owner is the most
taxed individual. both as to the
number and variety of taxing units.
The owner residing in the city often
pays as many as seven kinds of
taxes in addition to the four levied
on him by the federal government
whenever he purchases a car. a tire,
accessory or repair part. In some
instances. the counties add three
more taxes by duplicating the li-
censc. gasoline and personal proper-
ty tax.
Among the parts of an automo-
bile using paper or paper composi-
lion in their construction are gas-
kets. shims. and padding_ for metal
panels. Much imitation leather up-
holstery is made principally of pa-
per. Certain cheaper makes of cars
are now and during the coming sea-
son will be. put out with paper com-
position bodies. Thcse are impero
vlous to moisture. and can be wash-
ed like metal bodies.

for the construction and improve-
ment of roads and trails in the na-
tional parks has been authorized by
the United States senate. The bill
passed the house some time ago.
