In operating an automobile there are a
great many things motor car owners
should know, says William H. Stewart
jr, Of New York, and if the smaller de-
tails were given a little more attention
repair bills would be cut in half A few
things to know are:
Don't use the brakes unnecessarily, as
it causes excessive wear on the tires.
Don't forget to plug all oil holes if body
and chassis is to be painted. as the holes
might become clogged with paint and
prevent oil from reaching the bearings.
Cont use string a tire measure If
you want the correct pressure; better use
a standard tire gauge, as it will save tire
bills
Don't empty the gasoline tank of its
contents, leaving enough of the fluid to
form gas. if tank is to be soldered, as
the tank at once becomes a most dan
gerous bomb
Don't forget before starting upon a
journey of any length to inspect the mo-
tor. as it is easier to make a small re-
pair before starting out.
Don't run your car with the wheels out
of alignment, as the strain on the frame,
axles and steering gear is beafd to mani
fest itself in worn parts
Don't drive close to the curb, always
leave a few inches space, as that not
only eliminates the possibility of bending
anything, but makes it easier to turn
away when one is ready to start.
