free from oil and dust by frequent wash¬ 
ings and polishings. An even temperature 
of from fifty-five to sixty degrees should 
be maintained in garages during the win¬ 
ter, and the water used for washing cars 
should be lukewarm. Sudden changes 
from a high temperature to a low one 
and the sudden application of very cold 
water causes the varnish to crack or 
check. There is not a great deal of work 
to be done on a car if it is done regularly. 
If it is not done regularly the car soon 
becomes out of order. It is convenient 
for either the owner or chauffeur properly 
to care for his car in a well-equipped pri¬ 
vate garage. In a public one there is less 
opportunity to look after private property 
and therefore the work is left to others, 
who do it in an indifferent way and usually 
charge a high price for storage and serv¬ 
ice. 
Quarters for the chauffeur can be pro¬ 
vided for on the second floor of the aver¬ 
age garage, and should consist of a gen¬ 
eral living-room, bathroom and two cham¬ 
bers. In garages where several cars are 
kept it is advisable to have a small machine 
shop so that the chauffeur, who is usually 
a good mechanic, can make the majority 
of repairs promptly. 
The arrangement of electric lights re¬ 
quires some attention. In a number of 
garages I have placed a series of lights 
eighteen inches from the floor, so that a 
strong light could be cast under the car 
and on the running gear. The heating 
pipes are usually arranged in a series of 
coils around the walls to a height of about 
three feet, giving the maximum amount of 
radiation. 
A machine for welding and vulcanizing 
should be provided in the garage, and cup¬ 
boards should be built in for the storage 
of tires and various implements and cloth¬ 
ing. There should also be moth-proof 
chests for robes. 
After the garage has been constructed 
on the model lines mentioned above a well- 
drained driveway eight feet in width and 
built of macadam should lead up to it. The 
result of both will be distinctly grateful 
to all thoughtful owners of the automo¬ 
bile.

from you, and back him into the corner, 
at the same time raising his front feet 
well off the floor. In a moment you will 
see the first advantage of the right angle 
formed by the room walls. As you press 
your pupil backward he will naturally 
attempt to keep on his hind feet, prob¬ 
ably stepping back in the effort to pre¬ 
serve his balance; but the wall soon ef¬ 
fectually checks further retreat and 
makes it possible for you to raise the dog’s 
body into the desired vertical position by 
continuing the backward and upward pres¬ 
sure.
