Of course, the original pur- pose for which the garage is to be built is for the housing of the car. It is not primarily intended to be a repair shop or a store room. But there are times when a little repair work is necessary and it is then that the builder raglizes that a foot or two more Roor) apace on each side of t*~ car Id be much to be desired. When planning the amount of floor space, leave ample room on all sides of the car. Too much room will never prove an em- barrassment and the additional cost of a roomy garage over a cramped one is negligible. The car owner, with a garage on his premises, will naturally make a great many of the minor adjust. ments and repairs to which the re- pair shop had hitherto fallen heir. As his repair experience grows, it is but natural that the equipment | necessary will also grow--a point | often neglected when figuring tha dimensions of the garage. Pro- visions should therefore be made for a workbench 'and lockers at one side or end. Agair, the upkeep of the car can be considerably lowered by buying in bulk. Oil can be | bought in fifteen or thirty-gallon steel drums; grease in twenty:five or fitty-pound tins; soaps and polishes in large receptacles at prices which will afford a considerable saving over the ond-quart or one-pound method of purchasing. Suppose, in figuring out the di- mensions of our garage, we take FEW CAR OWNERS STEER PROPERLY Important That the Front Wheels Shall Be Correct- ly Aligned.

A two- foot clearance space, however, would | require a person to enter sideways: | a practice which would be hard =| the temper as well as on the clothes. Though such a garage] would provide ample space for sim- ply housing the car, it would be necessary to do all repairs and cleaning on the outside. If repair work is to be done and a workbench | Installed on the side, at least an ad- | ditional four feet must be allowed for the bench and at least two feet more door space so that the work may be done in a convenient manner. This will bring the 'width of the garage to sixteen feet. Of course, no provision as yet has been made for the lockers for storing the soaps and polishes, belts and nuts or other accessories; for which a floor space of about two feet should be allowed. I fthe bench is to be placed at one end, so as to be near the motor, the extra six feet must be added to the length; makirg a length of twenty-two, feet, while the lockers may be installed on the side. The maximum space which should | be allowed should be about twelve by twenty feet for simply storing the car; and about sixtéen by tweaty- four feet when any considerable | amount of repair work is to be done. | And' if provision is fo be made for perhaps another car in the future, at least another ten feet should be add- ed to the width--Automobile Di- gest. | the posts, fn the ball or in other parts.

There Most Miles Per Dollar Firestone is less friction to generate heat--and the body of the tire is stronger, more resilient, easier riding. Canadian car owners are realizing that Firestone offers better value. Firestone Cords are selling in bigger quantities now than ever, because Firestone quality is at the highest peak in its history. More cars are coming from the manufacturer, Firestone-equipped.

To do this remove the cotter-pin, turn down the nut; insert the pin again an dthe job dis done. If the play is in the gears there is usually provided an adjustment placed just above the case in which the gears are housed. As a general thing it takes the form of a serrated nut which is held in place by a slotted pin. The pin must be removed with a screw-driver, the nut being turned slightly, time the nut is turned it is wel to try the steering wheel to see that the adjustment is having the desired effect.
