Hence a motor truck has just been finished for them, and It Is believe! tliut this ma chine Is the most elaborate ever manufactured. Che body Is designed with three compartments one for the ehnffeuri one for -the chief, and the third for the prisoners. The rhlef compartment Is furnished with handsome swivel chairs, upholstered In blue leather, and rich ly carpeted. The windows are dniied with curtains to mutch. Among the refinements Is an electric clpir lighter. In the prisoners' compartment there are no such luxuries, and to make mire that the arrested will not escape, rlnga kave been placed in the backs of the seats to which the occupiiuts are hand cuffed. The photograph shows the rich and palatlally-furnlshed police car. OVERHAUL YOUR CAR . BEFORE STARTING IT Many Things Should Be Attended to in Early Spring. Owner Should Go Over Every Bart of Mechanism, Cleaning, Oiling and Tightening Loose Parts Let Carburetor Alone. If your car has been In storage dnrlng the winter, give It a thorough ove hauling at this time of the year. The fin' i ' ''''' u before stnrtlng It on the road, says a pioneer automobile man. Here Is a list of the things which need to be done to prepare jour car properly for good weather driving, he said: 1. Fill the radiator with water. See tliut the gasoliue tank contains a. suf ficient quantity of gnsoline and that there Is plenty of oil In the crank case. 2. Take your stonirre batteries down and have them tested. 8. Assuming that the tires were tak en off when the car was stored and put In a warm place, they should be looked over for weak spots and prop erly Inflated. part that fine steels in a THERE IS A DEFINITE REASON FOR THE BRILLIANT PERFOR MANCE OF A MAXWELL CAR.

KEROSENE CAN VERY HANDY Coll of Copper Tubing Fitted Into Common Wooden Bucket Is Essen tial Prevent Contamination by Keeping Jar Corked. To keep storage butteries In a healthy condition for maximum serv ice pure water must be added at stated Intervals, usunlly about once a week. By pure water Is meant water reason ably free from mineral Impurities which In time would accumulate In the bottom of the cells and Impair the ac tion of the battery. The three sources of pure water are rain water, melted artificial Ice water and distilled water. The two former are In many cases hard to procure when most needed, but distilled visiter can be had at any time by means of a simple distilling arrangement herein described.

Government revenues since September, 1917, about equalled revenues for the 55 years prior to that year.

Some of It usually does, but not enough to do much good. Of course, the body of the car Is first Jacked np, to as to let the weight of wheels and axles open the spring as far aa possible. If compressed air Is available, or even a helper to work the tire pump, a blast of air against ths aide of the spring will usually carry a part of th oil In where It belongs.
