sories which can 'be operated independently of the ignition. If a
new fuse blows, the cause of the trouble must be determined.

Leather off all surplus moisture.
Should the finish become dull after several months, the use of
an emulsion polish of reputable manufacture will restore it to

The hood should be cleaned regularly,, particularly when it
is new, to combat any initial chemical reaction which may occur
during its early life.
To clean the hood, it is only necessary to use soap and water,
with a soft brush to r emove any ingrained dirt. F r equent
washing with soap and water considerably improves the appear-
ance and wearing qualities of the hood, and it should be washed
at least as often as the rest of the car.
If dust and grime have been allowed to remain on the hood
for a long time so that it has become really dirty, and the ordinary
soap and water method is not completely effective, then benzine
may be used with the same type of brush.
The interior of the hood can be cleaned by the sparing use
of trichlorethylene or a reputable brand of proprietary clothes
cleaner. On no account should spirit cleaners be used inside the
hood as their use would damage the proofing and wearing
qualities of the fabric.
It will be found that by cleaning by the methods outlined, the
hood will continue to look as good as new.
The leather-cloth upholstery and trimming should be wiped
over occasionally with a cloth damped in warm soapy water.
Repeat the operation using a fresh cloth and water — avoid
flooding — and finish by drying and polishing with a good qua1ity
leather cream.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO USE A MILD, NON-CAUSTlC
SOAP OF THE TOILET KIND and to avoid the use of
