SATURDAY EVENING,
Experimenting With Car
Is Not Advisable
"If you would have the moat enjoy
ment out of your car don't be a tink
er," said Charles Ensminger, local
Dort distributer. "There are certain
things every man should know about
this car, and attend to himself relig
iously; but there are other things that
should be left to the experienced me
chanic and the less the owner has to
do with these the happier he is going
to be."
"The owner who is continually ex
perimenting with his car usually has
his hands full of trouble. There are
somo men who are naturally of a me
chanical turn of mind, and these men
keenly enjoy working about their cars.
They are capable and they do not get
themselves into trouble, but the aver
age owner who attempts fine adjust
ments, experiments, rear axle, motor
bearings, valve tappets, etc., usually
wishes he had let his car alone before
he is through.
"An example of the grief tinkering
can cause both owner and dealer was
very strongly brought to my notice
several years ago. The owner in ques
tion attempted an adjustment on his
front wheel bearings. As luck would
have it he got one of them too tight.
Tho bearing quite naturally got hot
and was badly scored. It. was replaced
at about ten dollars expense, (bearings
cost more in those days than they do
now), and the owner went on his
way.
"About two weeks later as he was
turning a corner at low Bpeed, one of
his front wheels dropped off. Me was
quite indignant at the happening and
blamed it all on the car. 1 fixed him
up without charge and sent the
broken spindle to the factory for cre
dit. Imagine my surprise when I re
ceived a letter from the service man
at the factory refusing this and claim
ing that the crystalization in the spin
dle was obviously due to It having
been overheated at some tlmft. Well,
I put two and two together and on
askln gthe owner a few questions
found that the spindle that had broken
was the same one which carried the
bearing he had burnt up. That bear
ing had simply got so hot that it had
burnt the spindle too.
"Now just see what tinkering had
brought down on this fellow. He had
burned out a bearing at a cost of
about ten dollars and he had been
actually taking his life in his hands
every moment he had been driving his
car, for If ho had been going at twenty
miles an hour when that spindle broke
and let the wheel drop off, his car
would certainly have turned over with
him, and perhaps fatally injured him,
and added to It all I had been obliged
to pay for a new spindle for him and
listen to his abuse of the car.
[ "Wlien we sell a Dort we always
] Impress upon the owner the simplicity
jof its construction and we warn him
j against experimenting. We point out
to him the things that he should at
j tend to himself and those things he
| should come to us about. Most own
j ers appreciate this and we have very
| little trouble. As a matter of fact our
j cost of giving service to Dort owners
doesn't amount to enough to speak
about. The men who build the Dort
have provided against practically every
contingency of hard service and rarely
are we called upon to make any more
than tho minor adjustments, which are
; necessary to every car no matter how
[well built, unless the owner has given
1 his car out and out abuse of the worst
j sort, and no car will stand up under
j that."
Predicts Benzol Will
Substitute For Gasoline
Benzol, in the opinion of Elwood
Haynes, of the Haynes Automobile
Company and the man who built the
first American gasoline driven automo
biles, is the most, probable substitute
for gasoline.
"If care were taken," says Mr.
Ilaynes, "to reclaim the benzol which
goes to waste each year In the dry
distillation of coal for coke, this fuel
could be placed on the market at a
price that would make it as economical
for the automobile owner as gasoline.
In past years Germany has produced
the major part of the world's supply of
benzol for use in her dye Industries.
In the United States, the residue con
taining benzol, which has accounted in
good share for Teuton commercial
prestige in past years, has been per
mitted to go to waste.
"The American production of benzol,
during this year, will amount to 22,-
000,000 gallons, most of which will be
used for the production of dyes, chem
icals and explosives. By wider appli
cation of tho methods in present use
this production could easily be raised
to 600,000,000 gallons yearly.
"The reclamation of benzol from
the coal that goes to waste through
archaic mining methods, would swell
these figures to even greater amounts.
If benzol comes Into common use, we
have no shortage to fear.
"Benzol contains tho same elements
as gasoline, but tho carbon and hydro
gen are combined in equal parts.
While the two liquids differ widely in
their chemical actions, both are read
ily volatile into highly explosive gases,
when properly mixed with air.
"The entente countries, which are
now cut off from the American supply
are using benzol in their military mo
tors without changing the design of
either the motor or carburetor. The
application of benzol as a motor fuel
must receive a marked Impetus In this
country at the close of the European
conflict, since the supply that Is being
consumed in the manufacture of ex
plosives wll be diverted to the motor
fuel market.
Hupp Driven to Top of
Famous Chinese Wall
A cablegram from Peking, China,
from Charles Denby, vice-president of
the Hupp Motor Car Corporation, an
nounces the latest performance of the
Hupmobile which is noted for Its
many feats all over the world.
To demonstrate the hill-climbing
ability of the Model "N" Hupmobile,
Charles De Wette, representative of
the Hupmobile agency at Pekln, China,
drove one of the cars up the Tartar
City wall at Pekin carrying five pas
sengers.
This is the first time an automobile
has ever been driven to tho top of
the famous Chinese wall and it re
mained for an American car to be the
first to accomplish the feat. Moving
pictures were made of the perform
ance of the Hupmobile going up the
incline, used by the troops, to the
summit of the wall and several hun
dred spectators saw the performance.
De Wette In making this climb car
ried a distinguished list of passengers
which Included the American minister
to China, Paul S. Relnch; Colonel Don
ald of the American Range; Charles
Denby, former American consul gen
eral at Shanghai, also vice-president
of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation,
and a Chinese Journalist.
The climb up the Tartar City wall
was made last Monday, May 15, the
cablegram having been received by
President Drake at the Hupp factory
of Ihe successful attempt to make the
wall. The Tartar City wall is the wall
around the inner or Imperial City of
Peking. It is higher and much more
difficult to climb than the outer Peking
wall. The Tartar City wall is 50 feet
high and 60 feet wide at the base
tapering to 40 feet wide at the top.

Js® Jj^jpflfl,
Canvass the world and you will not find as big a car
as the Overland Six at anywhere near so low a price,
$1145. ,
You who prefer seven passenger capacity, must pay

ing capacity there is the powerful six cylinder Overland
. motor.
Take your full quota of seven big passengers and see
how smoothly and easily, without a sign of effort, your
powerful motor speeds away with even an overload.
Sill Slow down to a crawl—don't touch the gear shifts

LJ Without a tremor, smoothly, easily, swiftly, you
acquire any desired speed.

*. . . . its price, $1145, so small in comparison.
Model 86—f.0.b. Toledo
Overland four cylinder models will "pick up" with
many another six.
Our only purpose in building a six at all is to supply
with genuine Overland finality and economy that ex
tremist demand for the luxury of bigness and lightning
fast pickup.
Overland production—double that of any other
builder of cars of like class—makes possible the unap
proached value which you get in so big and exceptional
a car at so low a price—$1145.
Have the Overland dealer overload the six and dem
onstrate its comfort and lightning fast pickup.
You cannot equal it for anywhere near the price.
