passengers. All will have side en-

heated with the exhaust from the en-

The proper thing for removing dust
from an engine is soft, thick

and projections abound under the bon
guage.

seldom sufficiently fabricated, and the
graphite will go long way TOWARD
remedying this.
The handles of bonnets are likely
to get loose as the car Is used, espe-
cially if screws are employed to
fasten them on. The noise they tnen
make seems to be made by the hood
itself, and is most annoying to any
one who is suspectible to such influ-

arriving horses is as follows: When a
truck is sold the company selling

driver Of the car to inform him of its
workings. After this the company
makes regular inspections of the car
and recommends changes, alterations,
adjustments and repairs.
1t frequently happens that car
runs finely for time and then the
nootorist suddenly awakes to the fact
that it's action is becoming less and
less lively, and upon looking back, in
the light of this Illuminating realiza-

on for a long while, but so slowly as
to have missed attention till now.
With such symptoms as these, it
should be noted whether the exhaust
is smoky and smelly and remember
whether or not it is habitually so.
If it is, the most likely place to apply
a remedy is in the muffler. the small
