The mapnet.s may h-3 weak, but they can be remapnetiy.-d. Close the npark paps in the pb.ps s'.iphtly. I'. i - not advisable to connect dry cells to this type mapneto. Motor Department Please let me know what Is the essential difference between a mapneto and a dynamo. As they are both used for ignition, are they interchangeable? NOVICE. Thev both make electric eurrent.

but the mapneto has permanent mapnets and piver, a hot spark instantly. The dynamo use electromapnets that take a few seconds to build up to full strenpth. It reriuires a fltorape battery to carry the ipnltion at low enplne speeds. So

Uhey are not interchangeable.

spark at the plup points will cause all your trouble. IIIXPIXIj hints.

Carry a list on your car of ac- 1 cessories that should always be taken on a trip and check it occa-V sionally, such as, jack, chains, tow , rope, fire extinguisher, tire repair kit, cotton waste, etc. Replace missinp articles and you will avoid de- ' lays v.'hen they are needed.

Many new motorists neglect to practice backing, with the result that when they have to do so they hit something. Choose a wide open apace nd practice until you can control the car just as well backing as when going forward.

An extra oil can empty will be found to be very useful around a

car, especially on a trip. It may j be used to apply oil to the clutch j

to put gasoline into the priming cups to help start on cold morninps or kerosene to reduce carbon. Many other uses will be found and you will wonder hov, you ever got along without it.

A cheap mechanic is usually the most expensive. He can't take the machine apart without breaking something or put it together so that breakage will not soon follow. It is a good Investment to employ a skilled workman.

Quite often a disagreeable pqueak may be traced to the hood fasteners. The springs become rusted and cause a squeak as the hood weaves. A little oil will kill the noise.

What Is It Yon Want In Your Car? What Qualities Do You Expect? You want a car of sturdy durability that is reliable in its service, a car of generous power and real flexibility of power, a car that rides comfortably and has plenty of room, a car that has proved its qualities, a car of which the upkeep cost is low and the operating costs most economical, a car that is easy to handle, a car of beauty of design, style and finish that you will be proud of, a car upholstered in genuine hand-buffed leather, a car built by a company of wide resources and experience, and you want this kind of a car at a price within your means. All These Qualities the Cleveland Six Provides for Y ou

I : I

THE Cleveland Six, product of men highly skilled in automobile engineering and production, is built in one of the most modem, efficient factories of the industry. It has won praise everywhere for its dependable service. Why Choose a Four When You Can Have a Six? The exclusive Cleveland motor is the most highly refined of the overhead valve type and is alive with a wealth of power and flexibility of power that you cannot find in fours, and in few sixes. The car owner ia rare, indeed, who ha3 gone back to a four after owning a six. It Rides Rough Roads Like a Car Weighing Twice as Much It takes rough roada comfortably at thirty miles an hour, over which you would hesitate to drive in many cars at more than fifteen miles. This extraordinary roadability is due to the scientific distribution of weight and the long low underslung spring construction. Service for 20,000 Owners Has Established Cleveland Quality These owners tell us of the Cleveland's better qualities. They tell us of its wonderful performance on long tours and in daily service. They say they can count on it to do what they want it to do.

18 to 23 Miles on Gasoline 12,000 to 15,000 on Tires The upkeep cost of the Cleveland is kept down to a minimum by the high-grade material entering into ill parts of the car, the accuracy of the machining and the extreme care in assembly. And the cost of operating the Cleveland is very low. Cleveland owners report average season gasoline mileage records of from 18 to 23 miles. The big four-inch cord tires make tire mileage of 12,000 to 15,000 customary, and there are many owners rcporU of even higher mileage. There Is No Strain In Driving a Cleveland The Cleveland is undoubtedly one of the most easily handled cars ever designed. The gear lever, right by the driver's side, works at a touch. Your Friends Will Admire Your Cleveland You will be proud of the appearance of any Cleveland model you select. All four of these are of splendid style, designed on harmonious linea, dignified and lustrously finished. Hand-BufTed Leather Does Not Check or Crack The Cleveland touring car and roadster are upholstered in high-grade, genuine

hand-buffed leather, the best upholstery you could ask for. Many cars in the Cleveland general price field are upholstered in machine-buffed leather or imitation leather. Deeply Cushioned at Comfort Angles All four models are deeply cushioned, with the cushions at comfort angles. The sedan and coupe are upholstered in fine velour and are as comfortable as ova stuffed chairs. Stability and Assurance Back of Every Cleveland The Cleveland car b produced by a strong, responsible, financially stable organization of long association in the building of fine cars. You can feel every assurance in delecting its product. There's No Other Car To Equal It At Such a Low Price There are light fours and light sixes selling a little below or above its price, and some quite considerably above its price, no one of which offers euch real valus as the Cleveland. If it were possible for you to compare them with the Cleveland as to engineering design, as to quality of material entering into the car, as to details of equipment end as to its actual performance, you would know there is no other to match it at euca a low price.
