CONTRIBUTE TO JOY OF LIFE That They Will Ever Go Out of Style or Use Is Beyond Consideration Prominent Manufacturer Tells Reasons for Optimistic Outlook. As early as 1898. when The Haynes Automobile Company was still in Its Infancy, we decided to build for the following year about fifty cars. About the Bame time I learned that another firm was expecting to build 100 ma chines for the same year, and we won dered If both companies would Bell the entire output of 150 cars, relates El wood Haynes. It was not a question In my mind whether the American people could buy these machines, but whether or not they would buy them. To my sur prise we sold all we could make, and the public still clamored for more. Notwithstanding the tremendous strides which have been made In the business, this experience has been re peated each year without exception ever since. The automobile has bo established itself in thousands of American homes r ~ - ■ -—i E.wooC Haynes. Builder of America's First Car. and so endeared itself to those who use it that it will not be given up ex cepting in certain cases where dire necessity demands it. Not only does the owner of a ma chine take his own family out for pleasure driving, but frequently takes the children of his neighbors, so that it is now rather difficult to find a boy or girl in the more populous districts, who has never had a ride in an auto mobile. The motor car will no more go out of style or out of use than the beauti ful home, the piano, the Brussels car pet. or a hundred other things that contribute to the Joy of life. It has become the basis for outdoor life for thousands of families, contributing not only to their enjoyment, but to their health, peace of mind, and general well-being, affording, as it does, a long wished for pleasure and utility, which It has only been possible to realize within the past ten or twelve years. The automobile buying season Is in full blast, and many purchasers will be car owners for the first time. H. E. Doty, manager of the Haynes Mo tor Car Co., gives the following timely advice to such owners, which should be very helpful indeed: “One of the most important things for the sutomobilist to learn is not to tinker.' There is no mystery concealed under the hood of a car, there is noth This is the oldest automobile in ex istence. and is now on exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution, United States National Museum. Washington. D. C.. duly labeled as follows: “Gasoline Automobile, built by El wood Haynes, in Kokomo, Ind., 1893 1894.

Gift of El wood Haynes. 1910. 265,135." tag that should be kept secret from the car owner, but the temptation to ‘tinker' usually becomes too great; a delicate adjusting screw Is turned or a wire Is disconnected and then— trouble begins. "Talk to the repairman, stud; the instructions. learn all you can. and then when the emergency comes, you'll be prepared. But wait for the emergency. Do not tinker. Don’t try to make adjustments when the car is already in adjustment. Don't begin tearing down until you have located the trouble. Don’t try to improve the --•“■“^^■a^*****^*^****a*^“ timing of the valves or the Ignition; the manufacturer knows best. Treat your car as you would an expensivs watch. A lot of trouble may be avoid ed by having an expert examine the car about once every two months There are many little wrongs that may quickly develop into big wrongs if not discovered and checked. “Don't patronize the cheap me chanic—his work is usually in keep ing with his price. Keep your car out of the hands of the schoolboy who offers to work free of charge. The manufacturer i6 always ready to ad vise and help you. His reputation is in your hands and don't be too much inclined to blame the car when the first little trouble arises. Each ma chine has peculiarities of Its own and no matter how experienced you may be In the operation of motor cars in general. It Is essential that the manu facturer's instructions be carefully read and followed. “The idea that there is no particu lar care necessary for the successful operation of a car. aside from filling the tanks and radiator is erroneous There is no more carefully designed mechanism in existence, and as Is usu ally the case with all complicated machines, careful inspection and at tention to details will prolong its life and insure successful operation to an Immeasurable degree. “Treat your car well, lubricate It regularly. The result will be efficient service at minimum upkeep And then when the emergency comes, when something does go wrong, dont 'Just tinker.' Be systematic. First find where the trouble is; second, de termine what it is; third, what is the remedy and last, how this remedy may be applied." NEED A REGULATING VALVE Use of Water With Gasoline Means a Considerable Saving of Fuel to the Auto Owner. With the exhaust gas heater some form of regulating valve should be used and a few cross partitions In the inlet pipe at the point where the heat is applied help heat the center of the column of the entering mixture. Gaso line will stand about eighty-five pounds compression without pre-ignition. Kerosene, however, will not stand over seventy pounds unless a small quantity of water Is taken Into the cylinder with each charge. The customary man ner of doing this is to employ either a separate small carburetor for the water or a small valve attached to the regular carburetor. In a few engines the water is injected directly into the cylinder. The proportion of water employed is about one and one-half pints of wa ter to each gallon ot kerosene. If the water is not used when the motor has the usual compression employed for gasoline the motor will pre-ignlte and is very apt to burn out the connecting rod bearings. It is not generally known that water may be used to advantage with gasoline in about the same pro portion with considerable saving of fuel. Preserve Car Body. For the particular man. one of th most trying things is to have the body work of his car get shabby. The fol lowing mixture makes an excellent “restorer’' for the body work: One pint of turpentine, one pint of wood al cohol. one quart of distilled or rain water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mix the alcohol and turpentine together, then mix the water and kerosene oil together. In order to defy the old adage about oil and water not mix ing. it is necessary to place the kero sene and water in a gallon jar and shake briskly until they mix, then add the alcohol and turpentine, which have been previously mixed, and shake the whole until thoroughly mix ed. The mixture is apt to separate after standing, but can always be brought together again by brisk shak ing. The mixture should be applied to the body work with the soft side of a flannel cloth and polished with a dry one. New Auto Safety Device. The municipal authorities of Paris have under consideration an ordinance making it obligatory for all motor cars to carry a device by means of which passengers in the interior of their car may stop it instantly without the as sistance of the chauffeur. Such a measure would prevent accidents sim ilar to that in which the two children of Isadora Duncan met their death. Another preventable accident of the same kind was caused In Paris a short time ago by a chauffeur fainting on his box. The proposed device which the technical committee of the prefecture of the Seine has before it for consid eration is said to be easily applied to any automobile at a cost of about $10. __ Carelessness of Chauffeur. If an automobile is leased for a pleasure ride, and the chauffeur mere ly obeys the Instruction of the lessee as to the route to be taken the owner of the car Is responsible for any damage ! which might be caused by the chauf feur's negligence. This Is the decis ion of the Supreme Court of Wiscon sin. in the case of Gerretaon vs. a ga rage company, in which the lessee of the car sued the garage owner for damages, because be was injured in an accident caused by the carelessness of the chauffeur The eourt held that in such a case the driver is the ser vant of the garage owner, and not o the lessee of the car. France Taking to “Cycles." France has one automobile for every 500 people, one cycle for every 13 and one motorcycle for every 1.362. Be tween 1910 and 1911 there was the enormous increase of 300,000 cycles. Tendency of Gears to Jump. Among the bad habits of cars that have seen considerable service iB a not infrequent tendency for the gears j to jump out of mesh when running on one or another of the speeds. Gener ally this can be remedied by altering the adjustment of the rods connecting , the gear-shifting lever with the gear | set in such a way that the latches that are designed to retain the shifting votes in position can fully engage be fore the shifting lever reaches the bottom of its slot In the segment Blow-Out Emergency. In the absence of a blow-out patch, a fair shift to get home can be made by wrapping a bandage around the in ner tube before inserting it in the casing and after it has been partially inflated. The effect of the bandage 5s l to prevent the tube from bulging through the opening in the shoe. It will serve this purpose in a satisfac tory manner provided the latter is not too large. In an emergency the ban dage may be obtained by tearing an old duster into stripa CONSTRUCTION OF ROAD DRAG When Principle* Are Thoroughly Uiv oentood and intelligently Ap plied Work Is Simple. Prepared by the United Stater Uepart snent of Agriculture.' Drags are often constructed ol planks Instead of logs. The plank should be strengthened along the mid die line by a £x6-inch strip. A trian , gular strip mar be used under tbs lower edge of the blade to give it the proper cutting slope. The successful operation of the drag involves two principles, which when thoroughly understood and Intelligent ly applied make road working with this implement ve.-y simple The firsi concerns the length and position ol the hitch, while the second deals with the position of the driver on the drag For ordinary purposes the snatch link or clevis should be fastened fat enough toward the blade end of the chain to force the unloaded drag tc follow the team at an angle of 4f degrees This will cause the earth tc move along the face of the drag smoothly and will give comparativel> light draft to the team, provided the driver rides In the line of draft. If small weedF are to be cnt or a furrow of earth is to be moved, the doubletree should be attached rather close to the ditch end of the drag The drag will now move nearly ditch end foremost, and the driver should stand with one foot on the extreme forward end of the front slab. This will swing the drag back to the prop er angle and will cause the blade to plow. This hitch requires slow and careful driving in order to prevent the The Plank Drag. drag from Upping forward. If thf blade should plow toe* deeply, the driv er should shift his weight toward the back slab. If straw and weeds clog the blade, they can usually be re moved if the driver shifts his weight to a point as far as possible from the ditch or blade end. Usually two horses are enough to pull a drag over an ordinary earth road. When four horses are used they should be hitched to the drag by means of a four-horse evener. The team should be driven with one horse on either side of the right-hand wheel track or rut the full length of the portion to be dragged, and the return made over the other half of the road way. The object of this treatment It to move earth toward the center ol the roadway and to raise It gradually above the surrounding level. While this is being accomplished all mud holes and ruts will be filled, intc which traffic will pack the fresh earth EXPENSE OF ROAD BUILDING Interesting Comparison Compiled by Department of Agriculture Show ing Money Spent. An Interesting comparison between the expenditure on public roads in the United States in 1904 and in 1912 has just been compiled by the depart rnent of agriculture through its office of public roads, showing the tremen dous growth that has taken place in the movement for better highways within the last eight years. In 1904 the total expenditures on all public roads in the United States was $79,771,617. but in 1912 the expendi tures for this purpose amounted to $164,232,365. The expenditure per mile of public roads in the United States for 190* was $37.07, but the ex penditures per mile for the year 1912 had doubled, amounting to $74.65. The expenditure per inhabitant in 1904 was $1.05. but in 1912 it amounted to $1.78. The greatest progress in road build ing has bees made in the states which contribute from the state treas uries toward the construction of state aid or trank-Une roads In 1904 there were 13 states that contributed out of the general fund $2,607,000. but In 1912 there were 35 states which contributed $43,757.43$. The states having the largest expenditures ■ for state-aid and trunk-line roads in 191J were as follows: New York. $23,000.- j 000: Pennsylvania. $4,000,000; Mary land. $3,370,000; Connecticut, $3,000 000. Both Questions Important. The subject of good roads is one that will not down, but the question of keeping good roads is quite as im portant. Benefit of Wide-Tire Law. Results of experiments in different states indicate that the wide-tire law ; Is not only a benefit to the public high ways. but gives the teamster a big ad vantage. Reports from various states show that with the wide-tired vehicle 30 to 60 per cent less power is neces sary to move a given load than with the narrow tires. Good Roads Sermons. Agitate, educate, legislate—these three words are all sermons in the ninds of the good roads advocates. ! WASTED MONEY ON POSTAGE Angered Constituent Might Hava Spared Representative Reproaches Contained in Long Letter. Representative Denis O'Leary of New York received a letter a time ago from a constituent who expressed an earnest desire for an assortment of garden seeds. O'Leary sent them, but there must hare been a slip-up on the part of Mr. Burleson's post office department, for a few weeks later O'Leary received another note from the man deploring the fact that the seeds had never reached him. “Why ain't I just as much entitled to seeds as anybody else*" tbe writer demanded. “Two of my neighbors sent for seeds the same time as I did. and one of them has had his in the ground now for six weeks already His plants is beginning to show above ground. Is it I'm not just as good as my neighbors?" And so on for a cou ple of pages Then at the bottom of the letter was this brief postscript: “Them dam seeds has just arrived.” His Excuse. “No. sir.” said Tim Haley, publisher of the Chronicle. “I won't attend Judge Watson's reception 1 won't give his honor a chance to add to my humilia tion.” The publisher was pressed for an explanation, and he finally yielded. “You understand.” he confessed, “that Judge Watson is extremely sen sitive about his clothes. Well, today one of our editors wrote a headline on a labor case in the judge's court which read: “ ’Suit of Union Irritates Court.' "This line was just two letters too long, so one of ocr intelligent composi tors rearranged it to read: “'Union Suit Irritates Court’" No Agriculturist “They say there is money in running alligator farms in Florida" “But. of course, a man has to have experience.

After Dinner. Once there were twin brothers who were as like et.ch other as two peas. They sailed away to the South seaa and went ashore upon a certain island. Cannibals caught one of them and ate him. The other managed to hide in the breadfruit fields till nightfall. Then he, too, was d.scovered and dragged into the middle! of the village, where the men of the tribe sat around a large pot still making after-dinner speeches. The cannibals stared at the newcomer in black amazement. Then the chief rose and said: “Gentlemen, let him go. He is alK solutely indigestible." Pointing the Way.
