SHOULD KEEP HUB CAPS CLEAN
They serve Purpose OF Utility as
Well ms thRt of Ornamen-
tatiOn.

That large ornamental hub caps with
which automobiles are equipped have a
purpose, aside from serving as ornamental
ton. ia not known by all drivers. While
these caps add TO the general appearance
OF car, they have also to do with the
fabrication Of the wheels. and their utility
as reservoir for grease probably Is more
the reason for their use than Is the fact
OF the attractiveness to the eve. When
putting a car in commission, and occas-
ionaly, say every month or two, the in
terval depending on the amount OF use, the
car is given. the hub caps should be thor
oughy cleaned out, all the grease and
verdigris removed, after which the caps
should be repacked. II also is we'll 20 clean
out the hubs and bearings. washing them
thoroughly with gasoline so that dirt and
grit will be dislodged. When this has been
done, the moving parts should again be
fabricated, the hub caps put back IN place
and the car can be driven without fear Of
trouble from improperly fabricated axles.-
