AUTOMOBILE NOTES

The Crookston Automobile Club of
Minnesota is preparing routes to be
equipped with signboards.
Racine has taken the lead among
Wisconsin cities in an attempt to lie
ense drivers of automobiles.
At least once in a season the oil in
the rear axle should be drained out,
a liberal supply of kerosene introduc-
ed and the axle lacked up while the
engine is run to agltate the oil and
wash out the differential, etc.
The only time it Is necessary to use
an excess of lubricating oil is when
the engine is new or when it is being
put to an excessive strain, such as oc-
ours in racing. Smoky exhausts are
coming to be regarded more and more
as an indication Of carelessness and
poor driving.
In repacking the gland of water
circulating pump use plenty of gra-
phite with the packing The spindle
is seldom sufficiently fabricated and
the graphite will go a long way to-
ward remedying this. Glycerine in the
circulating water. besides keeping out
the frost, seems TO considerably assist
in lubricating the pumps spindle.
An annoying squeak which is often
very difficult to locate, is caused by
the edge of the doors rubbing their
| pillars. This rubbing Is brought about
/ by a slight sagging of the body in the
center and may be remedied by plac-
/ ing a leather washer of the required
! thickness around the body bolt be-
tween the body and the frame.
The automobile is playing a leading
part in the political campaign in many

feet. The cutting out of the muffler
Of an automobile or motorcycle. and
also the sounding of any warning sig
nal except that of a reed horn Of a low

among them.
The best way to keep an acetylene
lamp working well is to keep it clean.
The cleanliness should extend TO
every part, generating chamber water
