Helpful Hints for
Motorists

In placing or replacing a valve stem
in an inner tube. drop the stem inside
the tube before vulcanizlng the OPEN
ins, then crowd the stem UP through
the stem hole, first making the edges
Of the hole slippery with rubber cement.
The products of combustion and par
tial combustion which are thrown out
scnous W hen not freely diluted with air.
This indicates that in snail, close rooms
the engine should not be run for any
length Of time.
The large knuried hand nuts that hold
are very hard to turn by hand. In such
cases a piece of tire tape wound around
the circumference Of the nut will give
hand hold that will accomplish the OBJ
jec: sought.
The vibrations and conclusions of use
will often cause to work loose the nut
plug and ca'Ise a leakage OF gas. Such
n Leakage will result in misfring Ex-
animation with the fingers will not
avail. Put wrench on ard tighten up
the nut occasionally.
Extensive experience of actua, users
goes to show that interliners In any
tire. new or old , are a positive advan-
tage worth while. They render nail
punctures 80 per cent less, decrease
acute flexing Of tire sidewalks, quite
largely obviate "stone bruises" and
give better proportion between casing
and inner tube than fs offered by COM
mon sizes as now sold. AS a result Of
a series of experiments / have found
that an "over-size' casing with a good
interliner well cemented in, will give
over twice the service that the common
pneumatic tire of intended size will offer
in use on common roads.

Resist Temptation to
Rock Shaft Too Often

In motors of high compression and
without 4 self-stsrier there is a great
temptation to rock the shaft back and
forth against the compression in or
der to turn it over past dead center.
II the spark Is pretty we'll advanced
so that ignition occurs close to the be-
ginning of the stroke ther is danger
that the fresh charge of gas will ig-
mite Just as the crank starts to swing
i'm the wrong direction.
This will cause a heavy back kick,
which may cause resious injury to the
operator. Most motors of recent date,
however. are equipped with some means
of rclea sing the compression, SO that
the shaft may be turned over easily
without rocking it.

they are left in the tubes. they should
be partly inflated.
Never let the weight OF the car rest
on the tires when laying up for the
winter months. Jack it up and allow
the axles to rest on supports. The
constant weight on one part or the
tire will cause it to flatten at that
piont, creasing the fabric and greatly
weakening it. II the tires are left
on the rims. they should be thoroughly
cleaned and repaired and only enough
air pressure left in the tubes to keep
them we'll rounded. This prevents
them from wrinkling or cracking.
while the car is not in use is an
opportune time to have necessary re-
pairs made on tires 1t is the repair
shops slack season and. as you are IN
no hurry for the return of the tires,
they can devote all the time necessary
for your job and do it right.
Examine tires well and have all
cuts in the tread extending through
to the fabric, repaired.

Soap Your Nails Before
Dabbling With Oils

When working about an automobile
on jobs that necessitate a good deal
of dabbling in dirty oil. the stun gets
under the fingernails and is extremely
difficult to remove. If little soap is
scratched off a cake and worked un-
der the nails before beginning work.
the oil will not get far and its re-
moyal will be an easy matter
A very effective method of getting oil
under the nails so that 1t is almost
impossible to get 1t out Is to wash the
hands in kerosene while they, are oily.
The kerosene carries the oil farther un-
der the nails.

Fan Breakage May Be
Avoided by Adjusting

A cause of fan breakage in automo-
biles that is rather common is the run
ming of the fan when 1t is considerably
out of balance. which results in settin
up stresses that the sheet metal often
will not withstand
If fan does not turn true it should
be made to do so by bending back into
position the blade that has been bent
or bringing the circumferential wire or
band into shape If it has been distorted.
Often a fast running fan II much out
of balance will set up a noticeable vibra-
ton of its own, which is ahrd on the
fan bearings as well as the fan itself

Light Car Owners Should
Guard Against Vibration

a fact owners of light cars should
bear IN mind is that in a light ma
chine vibration is more effective in
loosening nuts. Dolts. screws. and SO
On than in a heavy car.
This means, of course. that such
things should be given no opportunity
to get loose. but should be well taken
