In consequence the opening hours OF

1t came as no surprise when 1t was at

With a long breath of relief Langdon

TO DEFECT BRAKE TROUBLE
Man Who Understands His Car Will Have Little Difficulty in Seeing
 What Is Wrong.

Brake trouble may be detected very readily. If the brakes are not equal iZed, the car will skid in the rear or slide to one side, even though you are running on a dry road. This will be noticed when the brakes are applied in the usual way. If on wet asphalt and driving in the regular way the rear of the car slides it denotes that the brake is dragging. This may be due to the brake lever or rod failing to fall back into place when the brake is released, caused by rust, and can be blamed on lack of fabrication. The whole trouble with many drivers is the fact that they are afraid to get out ana get under once in wbile.
 Another point taken up on this les son of locating trouble" is the proper alignment of the wheels. This can be noticed best at the steering wheel. If it is hard to keep the car on the crown of the road, with an inclination to go one way or the other, it is an in- dicatiOn that something is wrong with the wheels. The steering wheel should always work free. Either the wheels need adjustment or the king pins or reach rod pins need fabrication.
 The front wheels should always toe in about one-quarter of an inch-in other words, if you measure the front from tire to tire it should be One-quar- ter of an inch less than the distance between the back of the same tires, and if the wheels are out of alignment the tires will wear as though they Lad been rubbed with emery.
 On the reach rod under the front axle will be found an adjustment screw which will pull the wheels together nsore, provided the rod is not badly bent. If the adjustment cannot be made, 1t will be necessary to take the car to the shop to have the rod strengthened. This should be done im- mediately, as no tire concern will make adjustments if it is found that the wheels of the car are out of alignment.

KEROSENE FOR FUEL
HEAVY OILS CAN NOW BE USED
 TO DRIVE MOTOR CARS.
New Carburetor Has Been Devised With That Object in View, and
 Has Proved Successful.

With the aid of recently-develOped carburetor which is employed in com bination with a vaporizer of special design, kerosene is used as fuel for internal-cOmbustion engines. The sys- tCm is suited for both automobile and marine motors and constitutes the out standing feature of a new car that has lately been announced. The vapor- izcr, which is also an intake and eX- hGust manifold, is designed to dis tribute heat, within certain limits of temperature, evenly throughout the mixture. A series of small staggered rods are cast integral with the intake tract. These are kept hot, and the fuel upon striking them becomes even- ly heated and thoroughly vapOrized before reaching the engine. The car buretor is made with two bowls and preserves the same fuel proportions at all working speeds. In order to warm up the vaporizer, the carburetOr is started on gasoline. Both fuels are kept ready for the spray nozzle and are admitted as required by a fuel valve, acting in concert with the throt tie, which automatically puts 1t on kerosene as the engine is opened up. With this system 1t has been found possible to burn even oklahoma crude oil and similar heavy oils with par affin bases.-Popular Mechanics Maga- zine
