cred asbestos and dry-gas joints call for coated asbestos.
 Gone Clutch Slippage.-In the ab- sence of fuller's earth, ordinary tal- cum powder may be used to stop cone clutch slippage. Sprinkle the talcum over the surface of the leath- CT or fabric, after having first cleaned the surface with gasoline.
 Cleaning the Car.-The body of the car should be cleaned with cas- tile soap and water. Mud should not be rubbed off, but rather should be washed off, by flowing a gentle stream of water over the spot. This floats the mud off without injury to the polished surface. If mud is per mitted to remain on new body until it dries hard, it almost always leaves a spot, consequently removal should be immediate. If spots of road oil get on the body, they should
 be removed hy an application of salt
 butter, which loosens the oil, or by
 the local application of kerosene.
 Be careful not to rub them too
 much. The top should not be cleaned
 with gasoline or similar liquids. Soap
 suds and water should be used inside
 and out. For the upholstery, a little linseed oil on a piece of cloth rubbed
 over it, will work wonders.
 Storage Battery Mountins.-If the storage battery is not secured tightly in its place, the vibration and jolts of ordinary travel may very possibly break some of the jars.
 Water in Crankcase Oil.-Few mo- torists realize, that a comparatively , large quantity of water gradually ac- i cumulates in the crankcase, mixing with the oil and forming an emul- CT is more pronounced in winter than qualities This accumulation of wat CT more pronounced in winter than in summer and is found to q great CT extent as the number of cylinders | increases. This brings out the i'm portance of changing the oil every 1000 miles, and for the best lubri-
 eating results, every 500 miles, in

 Crankshaft End PIay-End play in 1 the crankshaft is apt to be noticed i first when the car is throttled down
 to about five miles an hour, when there occurs what is commonly
 called bucking. accompanied by 1 knocking. If the play is excessive 1 the knocking will be heard as the speed increases. This condition may 1 be caused by the end of the main l bearing becoming flattened or worn
 so much that the shaft can move | back and forth and as it does so l it pounds against the hearing ends still more Tn many cars with four i bearing crankshafts the second bear ing from the rear is designed to take 1 the thrust and so replacement of 1 that one bearing will remedy the i trouble. In three bearing shafts the center or rear bearing is usually the enc requiring replacement, In the four bearing shafts it is best simply l to change the one bearing instead of attempting to remove the play by using two or three bearings with thicker flanges.
 Msfirine at Low Speeds.-Poor en- ! zine operation at low speeds is a common complaint with the usual | cause in the car9uretion system. Of ten an air leak throws out the car
 bureter adjustment so that an insuf- | ficient amount of fuel is fed. Wide i spark plug gaps with a magnetO hay
 ing weak magnets is a combination
 which may induce this same trouble. i With a battery system in use the ] ignition may be neglected until the 1 carburetion system has been attend
 ed to- and if this fails to locate the
 trouble, the ignition should then be oNerhauled
