CAREFUL DRIVER USUALLY DOFS NOT GET IN TROUBLE Auto Manufacturer Gives Some Hints On the Proper Driving of Cars "Everyone thinks he or she is a careful driver, but very few are yealâ€" ly experts. It‘s the little things that are frequently overlooked that someâ€" times count the most,"‘‘ says a prominâ€" ent auto manufacturer. Always drive your car as carefully as you want others to drive. Careâ€" ful driving not only protects your life and the lives of others, but also protects the life of your car. Hints on driving motors are very interesting at a time when so much stress is being laid upon safe driving good driver is careful and cautious unconsciously from mere forcee of habit. One of the most important points, vyet one which very few motorists conâ€" sider a vital requisite, is the manner of holding the steering wheel. _ The wheel should be held firmly with the richt hand grasping the wheel about oneâ€"third of the distance from the bottom point on the right side, and the left hand similarly placed at a disâ€" tance of oneâ€"third from the ‘bottom point on the left side. Good drivers always grasp the wheel from the botâ€" tom of the rim with the palms§ nearly up. This allows, free, easy movement. Turn the wheel with a steady moâ€" tion. Avoid jerky steering and use regulation traffic signals. In starting a car a careful driver does it with an even and quiet accelerâ€" ation of the motor, diropping the elutch in with a smooth, velvetâ€"like motion, and shifting into the various The fundamentals of good driving are confidence, care and caution. The and numerous safety campaigns are being launched, both locally and naâ€" tionally.

Always sound your horn and pass on One cause of insufficient lubrication in the bearings is found in obstrucâ€" tions in the grooves in the bearing holder. Sediment often collects in these grooves so that they cannot nmfmm their an»nnointed function of these grooves so that they canno perform their appointed function o carrying lubricating oil to the bear ing ‘surfaces.

From preâ€"showings in hundreds of cities including Detroit, from the brilliant New York Automobile Show, from the trade, the press and the man on the street come the most significant and powerful endorsements that Hudson has ever won.

On cars born early in automotive history, the open oilâ€"hole had to sufâ€" fice. Then, very little more than a decade ago, the greaseâ€"cup was hailed as the solution of the lubrication proâ€" blemâ€"for problem it had developed intoâ€"of a serious type. It was soon discovered that the greaseâ€"cup was not an unmixed blessâ€" ingâ€"the grease caked in the cup; the stem, from the cup down to the bearâ€" ing clogged upâ€"the thread burred, preventing the cup being turned down. Any one of these mishaps was equally disastrousâ€"grease could not reach the bearing that the cup was intended to supply, with the result that the bearâ€" ing received little or no lubrication. Multiply this case by the number of gcrease cups on the car and it would not require a big stretch of imaginâ€" ation to realize that any ear in such condition was at least on the high road towards the repair shopâ€"often in the hands of the wrecker. The need for a thoroughâ€"positive â€"system of lubrication was by this time so imperative that the best enâ€" gineering brains of a continent were yrappling with the problem. The result toâ€"day, is that nearly twelve million cars are equipped with either the Alemite or the Alemiteâ€" Zerb System of Highâ€"Pressure Lubriâ€" :ation. The system is simple. Specâ€" ial types of fittings of convenient shape are fitted in every lubrication opening on the car. These fittings are equipped with a ball check valve to overcome the back pressure set up when the lubricant is foreed through THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO , and its comâ€" Until you have examined and ridden in the pday‘s standâ€" new Hudson Superâ€"Six you cannot know the mostoutstandingadvancement in motordom. come at lowest available charge for interest, handling and insurance. oT The automoul the past few year improvements There are seven body styles on Hudsonâ€" three on the 118â€"inch chassis and four on the 127â€"inch. tomotive w years, is the ents in the the automobile outstandin the fitting by the Highâ€"Pressurg Gun| â€"either hand size \npp]wd for the| individual car ownerâ€"or larger sizes| used by modern Service Stations. The force exerted by any of the Highâ€"Presâ€" sure Guns is sufficient to force out of the bearing all the old grease, leavyâ€" ing a new hlm or lubricant all round every part of the bearing. | Toâ€"day every automobile manuâ€" facturer emphatically recommends to the purchaser Of his product the thorough lubrication of the car chasâ€" sis every 500 miles. He does this conâ€" scientiously from a knowledge based on years of experience, He knows that every car he sells is praised or damnâ€" ed depending on the service the car gives, but he is also aware that in many cases a car which does not give the service the manufacturer know it should give, has not received freâ€" quent and sufficient lubrication at the hands of the complaining owner. Coupled with the need for ‘*Every 500 Miles Lubrication‘‘ is the use of a proper grade of lubricant. It must be of a high type to prevent breaking down in the bearings. A lubricant composed largely of "‘filler"‘‘ is just as destructive as lack of lubriâ€" cant. That is the reason the enâ€" cineering foree which developed the Almmto and Alemiteâ€"Zerk System of HighPressure Lubrication were foreâ€" ed to develop their own high grade lubricant for use with their system. The correet position for driving a car is to sit comfortably in the driâ€" ver‘s seat, grasp the steering wheel firmly but lightly on each side, usualâ€" ly with the rightâ€"hand paln up and the leftâ€"hand palm down, each upper arm and forearm bent to approximate a letter L. With the steering wheel held in this manner the car will steer easier and there is less fatigue.

That is the warning of puble health authorities and antomotive enâ€" gineers who have been studying the effect of temperature and other climâ€" atic conditions on the deadly earbon monoxide gas which is taking a huge toll of life The smaller type of garage can be made safe by the use of exhaust fans, but larger garages, where numerous care are operated, should provide a properly designed exhaust system of ducts connected to suitable exhaust fans, these authorities declare. Tests have shown that climatic conditions vary so much that vitiated air will not exhaust by natural means through vents located on ‘the roof‘s. The air and gases must be driven out by fan action. The plant engineers of such big producers as Willysâ€"Overland, Genâ€" eral Motors, Ford, Studebaker, Frankâ€" lin and others have sent out warnings to their distributors and dealers to make it a point to see that proper ventilating systems are installed and operated in their garages and service stations. One manufacturer sent out this message : In tests of the exhaust of a small 23â€"horseâ€"power automobile engine, it has been found that it discharged apâ€" proximately 25 ®Bubic feet of gas per minute, samples of which gave an average of 6 per cent. carhon monâ€" oxide, or 1% eubic feet of the gas per minute. A ratio of 15 parts carbon momnoxide to 10,000 parts of air .is considered a dangerous conâ€" centration to be exposed to for a considerable time, and the small 23 horseâ€"power engine, in * warmingâ€"up‘‘ and giving off one cubic foot of monâ€" oxide, would contaminate the air of a small elosed garage 10 by 10 by 20 to the danger point in about three minutes. Automobile exhaust gas contains an average of from 7 to 10 per cent. carbon monoxide. _ The quantity of the poisonous gas expelled hy a cold motor is greater than that expelled by a motor already warmed up due to the greater proportion of gasoline or ‘‘richer mixture‘‘ reâ€" quired.

It is a good plan to protect the inlet hose from the radiator to the pump from the effecets of oil by giving it a coat of shellac and then a cmmhggi layers of tape and shellace over thats This shellae prevents the oil soaking througch and getting at the rubber. Many car owners do not realize the importance of keeping the spark plugs clean. The points of the plug selâ€" dom need cleaning, but grease and mineral dirt do accumulate on the exâ€" terior and interior of the porcelain, so that the eurrent passes that way instead of jumping the gap as is inâ€" tended. _ _ The plugs ah()ul(l be kept clean or ignition troubles will follow.
