a have a 1914 Overland. What pre-
cautions should be taken an storing
it up for about four months2 What
should be dOno in the spring to have
it In first class shape2 The car has
gone about 1900 miles, 80 do you
think 1t necessary TO regrind the
valves? w. NJ. BURT.
Care should be taken first that all
water and gasoline are drained off. 1t
Is sometimes well 10 drain of the oil
in the crank case as well, washing II
out with kerosene. This oil will
probably need replacing because OF
the carbon residue in II. Tho car
should be lacked up and the tires
Spiped clean of dirt and grease. All
the steel and brass parts should be
rubbed with oil 70 avoid being af-
fected by dampness. The top should
be put up and a cover thrown over
the entire car. Before the machine
IS laid up have It thoroughly washed.
Placing II in commission in the
spring be sure To see that the motor
Is hlled with oil and water. The
tires ought TO be taken on and eN-
amined to avoid trouble when the
machine Is used. Would also advise
you 10 lubrcate the machine thor
oughly and clean up motor and grind
the valves.

(O Are there any good kerosene
Carbureters on the market?
JOHN G, CNG ERLAND
O Use one pound OF sulphuric
ether 20 every three gallons OF kero-
sene. This mixture will operate
quite satisfactorily, but will possess
an exceedingly disagreeable odor.
(2) Very nearly.
