Bome operators keep thelr cars in gear but release the clutch, letting the engine idle slowly, with the intent of saving fuel, and slacken car speed entirely with the brakes. The highgear braking effect of the engine can be made use of at any time, by engaging the clutch, but holding the clutch reieased for considerable periods is hard on its thrust-bearing. There are & few drivers who throw their cars out of gear and soma that even shut down thelr engines, which ie a very unsafe practice, as it makes it impossible to take advantage of the engine's retarding power because, with the ordinary form of transmission, it is beyond the power of the operator to re-engage the gears of a fast moving car. He must depend entirely upon the brakes which may have worn out or become overheated beyond the point of reliable operation. If it were possible to engage any desired gear, at any car speed, the danger just pointed out would be removed, for in case of brake failure, second epeed or even low gear could be thrown in and the full braking effect of the engine at once realized. The mechanical and pneumatic losses in the engine and transmission of s car, in low gear, are so great as to keep car speed relatively low even on the steepest down grade likely to be encountered. Most instruction books urge operators never to start down a severe grade with thelr cars in neutral and further advise that, just before commencing a very steep descent, second speed or even low gear be engaged, so that the engine's braking effect can be made use of. This suggested change to a lower gear must be made on level ground, for if it is attempted after the descent has beemcbegun, it will probably prove futile, on gccount of the rapld acceleration of the car relatively to the engine and instead of increased retarding effect being secured from the engine, its high- gear braking effect will be lost because, as no gears can ba meshed, the transmission has to be left in neutral. One good thing about the Ford transmission is that low gear and the full braking effect of the engine are always instantly available to slow down the car. PLAY IN UNIVERSAL JOINTS| ROCKER-SHAFTS RUN DRY P. E. M. writes: The overhead vaives of my engine are supposed to be olled through spring oll retainers in the valve cover. I am sure that I have followed directions and supplied as much oll as called for, as frequently as directed, but I find that the roller bearings of two of the rocker-arm shafts are worn out, although those of the other valves are in good cdndition. What has caused this? Answer: Of] 31d not reach these damaged bearings, because the oil- ways in the little cups, which catch the oil squirted in, had become clogged with! dirt. If you will oc- casionally remove the cover and force a stiff wire through these oil passages until it touches the bear- ings, you will keep the oil-ways clear and avold further trouble. | y 4 (3 ld = | tm (®) 1] J F P, L. 8. writes: No matfer how gently I let in the clutch, there Is sometimes a sort of snapping nelse and a jerk just as the car starts and my mechanic tells me this is caused by wear in the umiversal joints. Do you think this is cor- rect and, if so, does this mean put- ting in new universals. If you will remove the floor boards and keep watch, while someone starts the car first in re- verso and then in low gear, you will notice relative motion between the shaft from the transmission and the drive shaft, If th is much lost motion In the frofit uni. versal. A worn condition of a uni. versal does mot necessarily mean that it must be replaced, as the ends of the arms of its "cross" turn in bushings and the replace- , ment of these is usually sufficient to do away with most of the lost motion.

Whether it was is a custom indulged in un- consciously without a smile. Why use another pronunciation when the one authorized is 'koo-pay.'"" Which is all very well. We smite the lyre: s ' I knew a man named Jacob Jay Who bought himself a swell coupe, A sweller car was never seen, A#d it was light on gasoline. : He loved it as he loved his life, Cared more for it than for his wife. | Puffed up with pride was Jacob Jay Driving in his swell ccupe, | Until he met old Oscar Snoop, Who told him he had bought a coupe. . Now this gave Jay an awful jar, He fain would seg~old Oscar's car. And when he the bus one day, He said, "That is a fine coupe." lint Oscar gave a fiery whoop, And claimed it really was a coupe, And so they argued loud and long And each was right and other wrong. But now, for fear of seeming green, Each calls bis coupe "my new machine."
