Helpful Hints for
Automobile Owners

IL Is FAR better to use metal tcrmin-
ais on battery wires than to merely
wind the barred wire ends around the
binding posts. The special terminals
hold better. look better. and give bet
ter contact If no terminals are used,
then the wire should be passed around
the post so that the Tightening of the
binding nut will tend TO wrap il more
closely rather than unwind it.
\ 1t is well to check up the alignment
of the front wheels occasionally Slid :
ing the wheels against the curb is a
frequent occurrence. Ii does not re-
quire a heavy blow to bend one of the
steering arms slightly. When this is
done, the front tires will suffer unnec-
essary wear, due to the misalignment
of the wheels.
Ordinary mud when allowed to DIR
will dim the lustre of the best yarnish
Rinse it off gently before it becomes
| dry.
II Is not advisable to use a non SIX i'd
tire on one rear wheel and a plain
tread tire on the other rear wheel The
plain tread tire will be forced to dc
the skidding and will wear out much
faster. II is best TO equip both rear
wheels the same in order to obtain uni
form tire wear.
Demountabie rims should be install
ed carefully. That is to say the
wedges should be uniformly frightened
SO that the rim will be centered with
the hub. In this manner each wedge
will help support the ad and the rim
run true. The cause of ''wabbly'
wheel may often be traced to unbal-
anced installation Of the demountable
rim.
