age for is work on the automobile, and 
the sole question is whether it is done 
well at a fair price. Every garage has 
its own individuality, and when the per- 
sonality of a garage indicates good 
work and honesty, that is all one needs. 
Garage mechanics of the best type are 
not servants, and it is not worth while 
to try to shine among inferiors in pat- 
ronizing garages. I mean, of course, 
for the average tourist the best way is 
to seek good work rather than personal 
attentions. 
There are some garages which loom 
tourists. One may go thousands of 
miles and not see anything questionable. 
Unquestionably, people go into fences 
for stolen cars, way stations on the 
bootlegging runs, and *stand literally 
among thieves, without dreaming of the 
actual conditions. Generally speaking, 
the tourist will pass through unscathed, 
but he would better keep on guard and 
not take too many or too long chances. 
Whispering corner groups, youths with 
hats aslant, lips raised at one corner, 
sidelong glances, and a distinct air of 
nervous expectancy—whiskey runners, 
car-thieves and criminal bands have 
their rendezvous in certain garages. 
Tourists, unconsciously, fall among 
these—and it is just as well to watch 
one’s outfit. 
One should have a price list of all 
parts for his car. These are issued by 
automobile manufacturers, and if one 
knows the costs of parts, he will have a 
fair basis for estimating the costs of 
repair jobs. It should not cost much 
more to put in a part than to pay for 
the part, except when the motor is torn 
down, or similar work is done, to put in 
a chunk costing a dollar, or so. 
A good many repair jobs come from 
lack of lubrication. Springs break, if 
they aren’t properly oiled, or better yet, 
greased. Gear cases must be watched. 
Some gears throw oil, lately grown so 
popular, and ought to be filled with 
grease. If the car owner greases his 
car, it is apt to be done right. Garage 
help, unless the garage makes a spe- 
cialty of oiling and greasing cars, dis- 
likes to take care of greasing and oiling 
jobs, and are pretty sure to neglect 
some places, even when.paid to do a 
full oiling and greasing job. Some ga- 
rage workers feel about greasing a car 
as they do about putting on chains for 
a tourist. They just won’t do it, if they 
can help it. 
The auto owner, however, should be 
considerate. The garage man who waits 
beside the trail in the desert, in the 
mountain cross-road, or who faces the 
difficulties of outrageous competition, 
has his own troubles. Suppose there 
was no garage out there in the desert? 
Suppose it was two hundred miles, in- 
stead of twenty miles, to a garage when 
something goes wrong.

TROUT FISHING, by the NEW NATURE METHOD, is now a COMPLETE SUCCESS. IF YOU 
CANNOT HOOK TROUT ON THE SURFACE, YOU CAN HOOK THEM NEAR THE BOTTOM 
WITH CORRECT COPIES OF THE FOOD THEY EAT. Tiny nature flies, wingless nymphs, 
caddis creeper, Helgramite, shrimp, little minnows, small crickets, grasshoppers, small crawfish. 
ALL are excellent floaters, must have shot to sink them. It’s simple, without lessons or trials 
the amateur becomes an EXPERT. Anglers soon tire of nondescript bugs and plugs, which are 
changed every season, and turn to the logical system to be convinced of a higher and better style.
