METZ CARS
Practical Iteasons Why tho METZ KIIIRK CHIP C EAR LESS TRANS
MISSION' is Hiiparlor to tho Geared Types.
KTIi()N;i:it The METZ flhre grip transmission is much strong
er than what Is commonly known as the gear transmission, tills Is
ohvlous at once. If you compare their respective parts,
KOOI.-l'liOOK METZ transmission is fool-proof. It will not
permit a driver to make mistakes in operating it, either through ig
norance or in u moment of excitement.
NIAII'I.KIt .METZ transmission is much simpler than tho gear
type, it is quite u simple as driving a pulley with a belt.
I'KWEH I'AIITS METZ transmission contains fewer parts, and
their relation to each other is apparent at a glance. On the contrary,
if a gear transmission were taken apart, the ordinary driver of a car
could no more put it together again than ho could replace tho wheels
in a watch.

A surprising number of motorists
haven't the slightest idea where their
storage battery Is located. Some are
entirely unaware of the fact that they
have a battery and that the operation
of starter and light and in most
cases ignition Is wholly dopendent
upon it and Its well being.
Tho result is that the battery Is
ignored and aftentlmes harmfully
abused, until it runs down and falls
to do its work.
"Most battery troubles that come
to our attention," says V. A. Gates,
of the local Prost-O-Llto Battery ser
vice station, "are duo to lack of
knowledge of the function of the
storage battery and the attention it
requires.
"If every motorist could realize
that a storage battery is a perishable
article, which is highly sensitive to
abuse and neglect, a great deal of In
convenience and expense would be
saved.
"Just as driving over glass and
najjs abuses tires and running a mo
tor without oil will burn out the bear
ings, so will lack of care and atten
tion bring the storage battery to grief.
Tho battery experts at our service
station, Pacific Highway and Main
street, cheerfully explain to motorists
all about their batteries. Under our
service plan, we are prepared to as
sist the battery used In a material
way If he will call regularly at our
station for service."
Automobile Notes
The Oregon Motorist, published nt
Portland by W. li. Smith, is a new
publication. It is a splendid booster
for good roads.
A tire pressure gauge is worth its
weight in gold to the motorist, as it
win suve many dollars in the course
of a year. Don't nuess nt the pres
sure in your tires, but make sure it
is right. Some people pretend to tell
the pressure by noting the resistance
when they kick the tire. This tells
nothing nnd is not a reliable method.
