Two Fine New Models Are
Brought Out to Sell for
Lees Than $1,500.
The new Oakland 1923 closed cars
??the five-passenger coupe and sedan
??Just announced by the Oakland
Motor ?Car Company, are radically
new in body designs. These new
closed bodies are now being built by
the Fisher Body Company.
A lower body belt and slightly
lowered roof are mainly responsible
for giving these new models a pure
stream-line effect, an appearance of
greater length, power and distinction.
Interior appointments and fit tint's
?re likewise new, to conform with
the new exterior design.
The appearance of sweeping grace
has become accentuated by the full
crown fenders?a feature of the new
1923 sarlee?which are heavy and
wide and extend in long arcs over
the wheels. The windows of theee
cloeed models are deeper and wider
and afford the utmost visibility for
all occupants of the cars. All pil
lars are metal covered.
Metal visor covered with wat'?r
proof fabric and adjustable; rear
view mirror and double windshield
wiper; curtains for reur and rear
quarter windows; door windows
regulated by crank control; dome
light and snubbers are some of the
Minnesota Discovert
Way To Foil Gas
Trimmers
Minnesota's oil inspectors
have devised a simple test for
discovering water in gasoline.
On the theory that water is
heavier than gasoline and will
sink to the bottom, it naturally
/follows that a plain pine stick
daubed in cheap molasses will
glide through gasoline without
having any effect on the sticky
substance, but on encountering
water the molasses will come off.
By dipping such a prepared
stick in a tank supposed to con
tain only gasoline the exact,
amount of water in the bottom
will be revealed.
principal Standard equipment fea

The new refinements Include cross
bar type door handles; pull-to handle?
on the doors; two-key lock on the

others.

HUPMOBILE SALES
October Is in many waya the most
gratifying month In all Hupmoblle
history, .according to figures Just re
leased by the sales deuartment of
the Hupp Motor Car Corporation.
At this wrlUng the company hss
already exceeded the sales snd pro
duction quota set for the year end
ing December Si, -1922. and Is start
ing Into the current month with an
October output schedule at least
75 per cent greater than the most
optimistic plans called for early In
the year.
? The significance attached to the
situation. It Is pointed out, lies In the
fact that the definitely scheduled
program for the year called for not
less than a 100 per cent Increase in
the domestic sales over last year.
With thia figure having been
passed in approximately nine
months, It Is conservatively pre
dicted that the whole 1922 volume
will run In the neighborhood of 25
per cent greater than the 100 per
rent Increase decided upon ten
months ago.

The exhibit of the Hurley Motor

comprehensive. The cars on ?llsplav
make one of the most interesting
exhibits to be nwn at the big ex
position, and the show room of the
Hurley Company is e?|ual ? the
show exhibit in attractiveness.
In addition to the new five-pas
senger and six cylinder ??Inn the
Nash enclosed car line Include? a

sedan, three-paneenger coupe, two
passenger cab and five-pa_senger
carriole on the four-cylinder "ha?Is.
Wa? h of these cars Is powered by
the famous Naah perfected valve-tn
li(_*d motor; each is d>-?lgned to me;t
a specific requirement, all are goo 1
looking, easy riding and are of hlgn
Ljrade ?von?truetion.
Production of the new five-pas
senger sedan was due ?olely to a
widespread and insistent demand
on the part of dealer? and buyers
for a six-cylinder enclosed car of
thi? ?eating capacity. The seven
pasaenger sedan long since *ias e??
tai.l shed itself among those owners
who require a car of that capad?y.
There will be more inter?et this
year than ever before In the other
car? that make up the Nash Six
and Nash four-cylinder line. The
carriole, the cab. the coupe? and the
four-cylinder sedan each have a die
tlnct following. There Is no qu<-s
t no, for instance, regarding tie
utility of the cab tor the physician
or salesman.' The carriole being a
light enclose?! family csr nf high
grade construction, economical of
operation and good looking, h.ts
swept the country. An entire plant
ln Milwaukee ha* been turned over
to the exclusive construction of car
riole bodies.
Removing Dent? From FsnJtrs.
Use a leather mallet, or an ordi
nary hammer with the head cover
ed with a number of thlcknesae? of
cloth, when straightening out dents
in fender?. Beneath the fender a
block of wood should be placed,
cut to snugly fit the curve of th?
metal A bag filled with ?and Is
sometimes used us a cushion.
Proper Engagement ef Cinteli.
To let the clutch ln, it Is not nec
essary to race the engine. As the
clutch i? engaged, the throttle should
be opened just enough to prevent
the engine from losing aay speed.
By "meeting th? clutch with the
throttle" it I? possible to have the
engine maintain practically a con?
?tant speed while the clutch la be
ing let in.
A (leaning Solvent.
Use gaeoline In place of kerosene
for all cleaning purposes. Including
washing of bearings, cleaning brake?
and running board?. Gasoline ?vap
orate? directly after completine the
Job. OaaoUne however, should not
be used for external cleaning Of the
engine, and kerosene that 1? uaed for
thia purpose ahould only be applted
only when the power plant Is cold.
