The continued use of rims that have become bent or badly dented will invariably cause rim cutting, which means the end of the casing's usefulness. Another error is to neg- lect to keep the valve stem and stay bolts tight, When this is not done, water will cause no end of trouble. If in a hurry to stop a spring from squeaking pour a little kerosene over it, guiding the oil down the sides with finger so it will run in between the leaves. Wipe off the excess. Pour cylinder oil over the springs the same way, then shake the car, so the oil will be drawn in. Never add acid to a storage bat- tery. If the solution is weak it means that the acid has entered the plates and the battery needs recharging. Adding acid will sulphate the bat- tery and ruin fit. When the motor shows any ten- dency to labor on driving upgrade on high gear, shift back into the lower gear which has been provided for just such a purpose. A self-lubricating bushing for a spring bolt can easiliy be made by drilling, say eight holes, each 3-16 of an inch in diameter, through a new bronze bushing. These holes are packed with graphite when the bush- ing is in place. Then by removing the spring bolts every six months and repacking the bushing with graphite & nearly self-sufficing bushing, so far as lubrication goes, will result. -- A good cleanser for greasy or dull enamel parts is made of two and one-half gallons of lukewarm water to a pound of washing soda crystals. Apply briskly with a soft rag, then polish with flannel. Before using the solution be sure that all the crystals are dissolved. This solution will ruin varnish and paint surfaces. Use only where the bare enamal is exposed. Before driving down a hill decide Interesting Items About Auto Events New Zealand is having a 'good roads" campaign. Motor tractors for removing snow have been perfected. In 1919 there were 16,412 motor drivers' licenses issued in Norway. Of these 403 were to women. The average life of motor trucks on farms is estimated between six and one-half years to seven years. On account of marked increase in the cost of everything, motoring in Europe today appears to be a sport for kings only. City assessors in Washburn, Wis,, found more automobiles than dogs in that town. Motor vehicles tota! 140, against 122 dogs. In England commercial motor ve- hicle fitted up with temporary seats for Sunday excursions is known as a "char-a-banc." A new world's record for 100 miles cover a dirt track for an automobile was recently made in 89 minutes and 23 seconds. Miss Eleanor Marshall, a New York golfer, recently furnished her caddie with a "scootomotor" for tra- velling over an 18-hole course, The Island of Spitzenbergen, one of the farthest north islands inhabi- ted, boasts its first motor truck, It is operated by a Norwegian coal com- pany. In Canada more than three-fourths of the 52,500 automobile licenses is- sued during the first six months of this year in Saskatchewan were ta- ken by farmers. Major-General George Y. d'Hel- the Czar, is holding a $35 job as me- chanic in a garage in New York City. He knows of seven Russian generals who are sweeping the streets in Fin- land.

Then if the grade of the hill is quite long. and emergency brakes, as lengthy ap- plication of either one will cause it material. Never start you car with a jerk. It is preferable to engage the clutch gradually and see that the car starts with as much ease as is possible. The asphaltum on the top of a bat- tery cell may be sealed again by the application of a little heat. If a horse driving along in front of you shows any inclination to be frigh- tened, always slow down. and if ne- cessary stop your motor, When the leather fan belt develops considerable slippage it is probably because the rough side of the leather is against the pulley surface. The smooth side of the leather has a much greater traction adherence. Whenever your car has suffered a bump of any kind, a crash against the curb or anything of that sort, the wheels should immediately be tested for alignment, as a bang of them out of correct alignment, which will lead to excessive wear. Batteries should never be tested with a screw-drivér as it causes a great drain on the batteries, It is always best to use a hydrometer and if the liquid reads 1,276 to 1,300 all 1s well. If it gets down to 1,200 have the system looked over by an expert. Throwing the ignition switch to "off" position and then leaving the keys in place, does not insure the car from theft. Always makge it a rule to take the keys with you no matter how short a time you are leaving the car unguarded. When the tires are being inflated in a public garage the figures on the guage on the tank should not be ac- cepted as strictly accurate, because this guage usually registers about twenty pounds more per inch than is in the tire, since it takes that amount of pressure to open the valve. If you have detached wheels re- frm theft. Always make it a rule Occasionally, when you change a wheel, cover the metal contact sur- face with grease, otherwise the de- tachable wheel will no longer be a detachable wheel. when @ train carrying 200,000 gal- lons recently arrived from Oklahoma, it was officially welcomed by Mayor M.

At the most congested point in Paris, the Printemps corner, an army officer undertook to establish traffic regulations for th gg reckless confus- ion characteristic of French traffic. Perfect order prevailed during the three hours of the officer's supervi- sion. Taxation of automobiles is heavier than any other kind of property. Morotists in England pay a license tax of $5 annually per horse-power. Don't fail to keep the truck clean; this means inside as well as out. There were 1,438 automobiles in use in France in 1899. Oil Feed in Cylinder. If the oil continues to work up past the piston head after you have run the car a few hundred miles have the piston removed and fitted with spec- ial steel rings or have some one- eighth inch holes drilled directly be- low the lower ring and also below the ring next to the top ring. Any skill- ed motor mechanic can do this to give the oll a chance to drain back instead of working up to the top. Carburetor Trouble. Many cars have no provision aside from a strainer in the tank for keep- ing out dirt* from the carburetor. Owners of such vehicles will do well to fit a trap in the fuel line, All the big carburetor makers offer these traps, which are to be placed in the line near the carburetor or in the bot- The trap catches all the dirt and water and should be cleaned out regularly once a month.

It has long been customary to clean gasoline engine cylinders with {long-handled scraping tools, the cut- ting edges of which are hardened. In scraping a cylinder in this man- ner, it is important to have the pis- ton in the uppermost position of its sweep, since otherwise the scraping {tool is likely to slip into the bore of | the cylinder and injure the smooth | surface of the cylinder wall, Investing in actors, Farmers of Saskatchewan have in- | vested more than six million dollars | in new tractors this year, according to the estimate of managers of Sas- katoon branch houses of big imple- ment firms.
