Small machine and other types of
screws having fine threads are often
very difficult to start into the work,
and many times they are dropped into
places not easily accessible, says the
Automobile Dealer and Repairer. There
are several methods Of preventing this
as well as making the work easy. One
Is to take a piece Of annealed wire.
bend 1t double at one end and slip it
under the head Of the screw. This
will hold the screw steady while the
screwdriver is being used. Another
method Is to cut v slot In strip of
sheet brass or tin. This has an advan-
tage, as it will enable its use with
screws Of different diameters. Another
way is to push the screw through a
"trip Of stiff paper.

SCIENCE INDUSTRY.
A Clicked Gasoline Pipe.

Recently an involuntary engine stop
occurred on the road. and 1t was found
that the pipe between the tank and
the gasoline otter was choked up. and
lot Of trouble was experienced In re-
moving the obstruction. says the Auto
mobile Dealer and Repairer. Chips Of
paint from the gasoline tins had found
their way Into the pipe and had COM
pletely blocked 1t up. To dislodge this
the tire pump had to be fitted on to
the gasoline pipe. and this was found
to be q somewhat dimcult matter.
Since then an attachment to the tire
pump tube which will couple direct on
to the gasoline pipe has been carried.
so that in future there could be no diff
aculty in blowing through the gasoline
pipe or. for that matter, an oil pipe II
necessary.
The moral is. Of course, that filter
should always be used when filing the
tank, irrespective Of the efficiency Of
the filter in the gasoline pipe.
