Most every one carries with him an ordinary visiting card. The spark gap toil equal the thickness of such a card. A small leak in a gasoline feed pipe may not be noticed, especially in sum- mer, when gasoline evaporates quite rapidly. = This may not be the only reason for small mileage per gallon of fuel used, but it may be a danger- ous source of fire, A faulty set of piston rings in one cylinder will cause a motor to run ir- regularly. All the cylinders should have equal compression. One weak cylinder will cause a disagreeable Pound, which is not only annoying to he driver, but injurious to the whole mechanism, Considerable hard work can be avoided on the road if the tire rims are treated occasionally with a little shellac and graphite Aluminum paint is also good to prevent the head of the tire from rusting on the rim. It is a difficult matter to remove the casting from a rim when it has be- come rusted, TAKE PRECAUTIONS . WITH STEERING GEAR. No part of the car is more re- sponsible for your safety than the steering gear, steering connéctions, ete. Never allow any rattling to get into these parts, for such rattling is A sure sign of looseness in the con- hections somewhere. It tends to excessive wear of the parts affected, and such cannot he neglected. In the steering wheel ther should not be over a quarter of a turn play. There must be some play, so that steering will be possible, otherwise each little jar of the road would be felt by the driver, But this play has its limits, and it is almost as hard to drive a machine with exces- sive play in the wheel as it is one set too close.

The national convention of the quaint sect has just been held at Fairview, Mo., and the subject of automobiles and the right of a Dunkard to have one were seriously discussed, It was decided that one might not possess himself of a "devil-buggy" unless his brothers in the commun- ity where he lived decided that it would be good for him to have one, and safe for him. Their consent is to be largely dependent on his ne- cessity for one in the conduct of his affairs, The main objections were to the effect that out of the clouds of gaso- line from the tails of moter cars might arise the evil spirits of pride and dissension in serem Dunkard colonies, As inst prohibition hitherto ex- istin nst Dunkards holding pub- tie of non-sectarian character, the convention decided that, in cer- tain emergencies, it would not be amiss for a brother to hold the po- sition of school director.

It has a 31, horsepower en bloc motor that is a perfect marvel for speed, power and endurance. By increasing the bore of the motor from 315 to 335" we are able to offer a power plant which at 1950 R'P.M. develops full 3114 horse power. Tests under every condition in all parts of the Dominion demonstrate that it gasily develops better than fifty miles per hour on the road. Speed of course varies under different conditions, but in practically every instance it has been getting fifty miles an hour and with ease. We have scores of telegrams showing that twenty to twenty-five miles per gallon of gasoline is not unusual. The performance of this car is' almost beyond belief. Take any other low-priced car on the market. Pit it against this new Overland. Compare them for sheer speed, for abundance of power, for riding comfort and economy, and you'll find this car will back any- . thing else clean off the boards. That's a strong statement, « but a fact nevertheless. Try it yourself and see. Here are more important facts.
