Wallace & Co., Says, 1 "BILL OF Rl CHTS" Chicago, July 10.--Important measures adopted at the annual con- vention ofthe American Automobile Association held here recemtly, in- cluded resolutions to: 1. Urge state governors and legal officials tp use their influence to do away with the "fee system of ar- rests" on the highways, to keep the roads free as possible from detours and to inform the public of road openings and closings. 2. Oppose compulsory automobile JHability insurance as not being in the interest of safety and calculated to place an unfair burden on the mass oo of 'responsible car owners. 3. Oppose changing the automo- bile tail light from red to yellSw. 4. Urge Congress to enact a law for the regulation of motor vehicle common carriers. 5. 'Demand that the remainder of the war excise taxes be repealed. 6. Oppose use of special taxes for purposes other than road work. 7. Command a fair and impartial investigation by the Federal Trade Commission of gasoline prices. 8.

Brake squeak is the natural tone or ring" of the brake drum, due lo its sonorous vibration by particies of grit, worn off metal or by fabric wire, rubbed by the lining against the dgum particles forming and moving in grooves, where they act like a phono- graph needle in the grooves of a record. y Making The Lining Bear All Around Sonorous vibration cannot take place in anything that is tightly held, for such movements are then instantly damped and the essential precaution against squealing is that the lining shall contract evenly 'about practically the entire drum. That it may do so. band clearance must be uniform at all points, the band must be free at its back- anchor support (not rusted thereto), so as to follow the contracting movement and it must be shaped to fit the drum. ¥ Care Of Bands And Drums Band lining must be kept free from embedded grit and metal particles by frequent washing and brushing and no metal wires should ' th the fabsic surface. Grooves worn in drum sur- should be smoothed out by means of emery cloth. Drums should _ Fun true and their surfaces should be flat and free from ridges.

Making 8 number, of sections instead of a single plece, is an- expedient to secure closer and evener contact with the drum.

If any lubricant is to be used, a little pulverized graphite is pbably the safest, particularly as abrasive particles do not stick to ume, upon which. internal and exterdal EARLY IN RING RLY Imo. nt the bard A bands are simul- method is to replace the gasket under the outflow water manifold with one having slightly smaller water passages. A Preventing Heat Losses Retaining engine heat by covering the radiator-front, by letting down the curtain of the hood-cover. tightly closing the radiator shutters (It any) or by heavily blanketing the front of the radiator and the entire hood is very helpful and indeed any precedure which stops the fan blast and reduces connection is beneficial. The Most Heat From The Least Running Runhing an engine with late ignition increases the proportion of heat imparted to the jacket water and exhaust gases, and the use of the retarded spark, during the warming up process, heats the cooling water faster, makes hot spots and warm air stoves more active and hastens warming up with the least fuel expenditure and wear and tear. Violent racing of an engine to heat it rapidly should never be practiced, as it is about the worst form of engine abuse even under ordinary circumstances. but when it is coupled with the inadequate lubrication found in most cold engines, it is especially destructive. Heat Conserving Adjustments To facilitate prompt attainment of normal vaporization and reliable running, all adjustments of exhaust heat supplies to carburetor Jackets and intake manifold hot-spots should be set for maximum results and all carburetor air should be supplied in a heated condition. Failure to adopt "winter settings" of heat sources is responsible for much "delay in establishing normal carburation conditions, in cold weather. slopping.
