That is the way automobile owners feel when they
hear the sound of their overhauled motors. And over-
hauling is necessary in the best engine ever built.
Soon now you will want your car for a full season
of driving. Why abuse that engine that has been so faith-
ful? Bring it to our garage for overhauling and removal
of carbon. A small investment in overhauling now may
save you a much greater expense later in the season—or
maybe a serious accident.

PUBLIC EDUCATION
The principles of the Towner-
Sterling bill before congress
should meet with the approval
of people interested in the wel-
fare of education in the United
States. It fa now well known
having been introduced into con-
gress by Senator Thomas Sterl-
ing of South Dakota and by
Congressman Danjel A. Reed of
New York.
Education surely fa worthy of
place in the president’s cabinet
along with the departments of
war, navy, commerce, labor and
other branches. With the pro-
gress of education, the nation
finds that its efficiency is im-
proved in other lines of activ-
ities.
The Sterling-Reed bill pro-
vides for a department with a
secretary in charge. It is pro-
posed fro appropriate $100,000,-
000 for educational purposes.
