automobile belonging to a country friend of or mine and andas as I 1 noticed that the tho whole Toole thing thing- seemed to be bo coated with mud and dirt I asked him If he over O hud had tho the car cleaned lie IIo replied that it was bad luck to clean his car that it ran fine and h he saw no reason for tor Ing Ing- any none monc money or time removing tho dirt This friends friend's superstition is going oln to reduce his bank roll 1011 by hy a goodly amount Just as soon as ag n 3 his car starts to get balky which It will very Yen soon do Dirt is to a car what it is to a man The cat car runs ruts seemingly fine but butone butone I Ione one of or th se days It is going going- to start to give I e nover ending trouble trouble- The Tho steering will need now king king- pins or now ball Joints the tho universals will suddenly decide to got fot et sick or the thc rear axle w will ill tart start humming a n. merr merry tune tuna which will lead It to th the repair shop I Just to show that owner the unreasonableness unreasonableness of or his remarks I took tool out m my watch which I keep cp In a supposedly supposed supposed- I ly clean pocket I r opened the thc back of or the thc watch and showed him the tho minute particles of or dirt that la lay under the tho Now couldn't find dirt cover cr OW you Oll any in my watch x poc pocket et and you ou couldn't see see an any dirt on nn the tho shin shiny case but invisible in particles of ot dirt soon made their way war through the yer very small openIng opening opening open- open Ing ing- between the bac back cover er of or tho

Washing Is the tho only cute cure Look at tho the crag average small town car caron caron on tho the streets and I think you jou 01 will find that the steering and front axle are so o covered with
