The article reviews modern car care, urging careful washing with plain water and a large sponge, then drying with a clean chamois. It notes wax polishes should be applied thinly and evenly, not in excess. Tar and road grime respond to salt butter or kerosene, and weekly top upholstery care preserves fabric tops.
A saturated turpentine in alcohol solution serves as an effective rubber preservative. The saturation point occurs when a drop of undissolved turpentine remains suspended in the alcohol, and a little more spirit should be added to dissolve it. Rubber articles should be painted with this solution occasionally.

The piece argues the Labor Department did not report 5,735,000 unemployed individuals but that payrolls were 5,735,000 lower than in March 1920.

A South Chicago inventor has created a space saving kitchen chair system for small homes.

The chair can be rotated back into view with a quick reversal. Philadelphia Ledger reports.
