FOURTEEN DON'TS
FOR MOTORISTS

Charles +. Splitdorf comes out with
some 'Dont's'' on magnetos which cannot
help being of service to the motorist. eN-
pert novice. Thus does Mr.. Splitdorf
negatively advise:
Don't test. your ma gneto unless you
have it completely assembled, i. e., break
er box in place and distributor cover with
wires attached
Don't think it necessary when wash
ing the to flood the magnetic with
water. All high tension instruments work
better when not flooded with water. This
will be thoroughly appreciated by those
who have driven with the old type coil
ignition.
Don't open up the spark plug gaps or
permit them to burn themselves open
more than 1-32 of an inch
Don't flood the breaker box wnen OIL
ing the little roller on the breaker bar
The oil should be applied with tootn-
pick about once month.
Don't expect Your magnetic to operate
if you permit the frayed ends of your
wires to come i'm contact with each other
or with of the many small parts OF
the instrument.
Don't dissect the instrument to see
what makes the wheels go round unless
YOU are an expert. we put tle COlIttl
number of wheels inside the affair when
we make it.
Don't drive the motor with the spark
retarded. but as far advanced as possible.
| Don't leave your switch turned to bat
! terry over night
Don't try to improve the adjustment
| of the platinum points in the breaker box
until they stop breaking.
Don't disconnect the Wires leading
| from the magnetic to the coil unless you
are careful to get them back according
| to their respective letters.
| Don't pull out the carbon brushes in
the distributor because you think there
is not enough tension on the springs.
Don't fail to, put back your wire
gauze brushes in the breaker box when
putting the breaker box back on the mag
netO.
| Don't pull the wire spring which is
under the hexagon nut in the plate be-
tween the magnets.
Don't pull out your switch plug until
after you have placed your switch on the
off point.

Valve Treatment.

Many difficult case of missing at very
low speeds has been accounted for by the
valve stem being loose fit in the valve
guide. Most valve guides are of cast
iron. If. however, il is necessary to bush
them an excellent bush may be made out
of mild s.eel provided it is carboniZed,
l. G.. soaked in carboniZing material such
as bone. burnt leather Or scintilla. for ar
hour or more al a bright yellow heat

steel will replace tmore advantaSeOusly)
cast-iron anywhere. and has renarkabl BILE
anti-fra ction properties. This same treat
ment can be applied with great success
to all valves. Care is necessary not to
attempt this with nickel steel valves, or
any but mild steel valves of rs per cent

Squeaky WindshieIds.

\ squeak that is very annoying and
sometimes hard 10 locate is that made
by the base of glass windshield rubbing
on the dash. The cutting of the base of
"a windshield SO that it will conform eX-
actly to the shape of the dash is often
a difficult task. The result is that in
stead of resting securely all around it
will bear only on the high places, MAX
ing tight fit impossible and causing the
squeak. The remedy is to remove the
dash and trim off the high places or place
a strip of felt between the Dashboard and
the dash. 1T is common practice among
filters of windshields to paste strip Of
felt to the Dashboard in ali cases. not
only to prevent squeaking, but to make

Face Unbusinesslike Condition.

The slaughter now commences. Repu-
table dealers for that particular car are
face to face with dsa greeable and un-
businesslike condition and competitors
are forced to prospects for we'll es-
tablshed cars drawn into the net OF the
second hand dealer, who has protited by
the so-caled Balkan situation. The pros
pect. attracted by the unusually low
price. has forgotten to inquire about the
service the factory is supposed to give
and has no thought for the future when
he shall require repairs and parts and
the many little attentions that a factory
can give. His purchase may give very
satisfactory service. but when he wishes
to sell his car and get a new one he
finds that the company which manufac-
tured the car originally is in the hands
of a receiver or is out of business en-
tirely. and he eventually loses as much
on the transaction as he originally saved
by purchasing at cost.
This season has witnessed the partial

SELLING BELOW COST
Reduction of Prices of Autos
Hurts Business.
CAUSES LOSS
Factory Is Out of Business When
Autoist Wants to
Sell Car.

Unfortunate financial embarrassment
has forced a number of well known auto
mobile manufacturers to market their
production at figures which in many in
stances Will not cover the cost of manu-
1acture. Some of the cars now offered
at an abnormal reduction are makes that
nave been given national publicity for the
past two or three years, and have es-
tabl1shed reputation which could now
be capitalized to advantage had the
growth of the companies been gradual
building up rather than an attempt to
spring at once to the forefront. without
the usual attention given to organization
and its resultant economies.
The object of this article is not how
ever. to discuss the deplorable condition
of certain institutions, but rather a re-
sumo of how this condition of affairs af

prospect may have in mind the pur-
chase of a well known make of motor
car. the price Of which is the same as the
list price of the car that is being sold
at a sacrifice, but the dealer or agent
for the derelict makes a reduction of
II or 20 per cent from the list price, his
argumen; being that his company had
consigned d big shipment to some for
eign country and revolution, earth
quake or similar catastrophe prevented
the shipment: one method of dispOSing
OF his stock is through certain dealers
who handle large quantities of second
hand cars. These dealers then advertise
the fact that they have just secured a
consignment of We'll known automobiles
which were originally ordered by the
Balkan representative of one of America S
most successful motor car companies.
but on account of the recent crisis in
that country the order was cancelled.
