 sreating geniuses are aS expressive ag he are Imaginable. Time was when he average motorcycle rider did not know how to close his cut-out, and press such terms as "Pop-pop Wagon and Fire Cracker Cart,'' both de- scripttve of the audiblef sign of the motorcycle. Gas Bike, of course, has arisen from the method of propu1- sion, while Single Tracker'' and Two Wheeler both have reference to the character of the vehicle itself. Such terms as "Chugl Cycle" "Cop Proyolker,'' Traffic Beater'' and Dust Raiser all exemplify the speed of the machine. In some localities it Is lovingly cal1ed~a Penny SQuander- er,' as distinguished from the auto mobile which is termed a Millionaire Breaker" The various parts of the machine itself have not escaped the attention Of the word artists The tandem attachment, for instance. Is YaTiousIy known as 'tF1apper Bracket, Chicken Roost'. and a Skirt Hanger all due to the fact that it usually is the perch of some fair da1nseI.

 matter that if taken in time will save a vast amount of time and an expen- siVe repair bill. One cause of trouble is worn piston rings, which, as is gen orally supposed, do not occur very frequently, but will result in 8 loss of ting down the efficiency and power of 8 g4soAene engine In such cases where there is a loss of compression past tho piston rings the base cham, Der generally becomes warm and will tend toward carbonization on account of the great amount of lubr1cat1ng oil that works past the rings.
 In the case of an automobile en- g1ne it frequently happens that the float chamber in the carburetor' be- which, although a minor trouble, will often put the engine out of business and cause much annoyance and trou- ble- This trouble can be remedied permanently by making 8 small leather cap tosfit over the top of the float chamber The cap can be made of a small piece of chamois leather with several holes around the edge threaded with piece of string, which, when pulled tight, keeps out all dust and grit It will also keep the water out of the float chamber when the car is washed.
 A couple of hours spent occasion ally in overhauIing the engine will result very profitab1y in a saving of time and annoyance.

 Don't Fuss W1tA Your Car.

 .I have foMnd, as a general rule that when the instructions on caring for the cars are Kved up to, thera is little or no mechanical trouble
 Some men simply can't keep their hands off their cara They think they must be nnkering at them all the time They ere much Hkwe the little boy wth the drum-csarious to see what is inside, and, like the boy with the drums about one-half of them who find out what is inside succeed in putting the ear at least tenporarily out of commission
 Every purchaser of a ear, eEan be- fore he takes lessons in driving, should sit down and carefully read the instruction book He should then be taught tO drive by a thOrouehIv com tempts any extensive driving or does any touring he should do considerable practising thoroughly to fan117arize himself with the ehara acterfstics of his car and the best way to handle it
 This is not a rule for first time drivers alone No two makes of cars any more than any two horses, handle in exactly the same way No matter how much experience the driver has had, he should b9 very gentle In his first han ding of a new car and should become thoroughly familiar with it's mechanism and its method of operation before he at ,tempts ezdensfve driving without the attendance of an expert

The common troubles, barring, of course, accidents. I have found t6 be really faults of the driver. He may think he is the best driver in the world.
