Fitting Keys.
1t Is not always good practice to
fit a larger key to a shaft in which
the keyway Is badly worn, and is cut
to take the new key. Often 1t Is nee
essary to remove so much metal that
the shaft Is weakened. A good weld
er can fill in the old slot and then a
new keyway can be cut.
Play In the Drive.
When the car bucks at low speeds
the trouble is likely to be caused by
excessive play between the drivins
pinion and ring gear in the rear axle
or between the two high-speed gears
in the transmission. Lift the front
.oor boards and try turning the pro-
'cller shaft by hand to notice the ex-
Mt of the play. Very often too mach
rcy may cause breaking of the gear
teeth when the clutch is not engaged
gently.
when q Jack Is Needed.
In the absence of a lifting jack for
use in changing a tire, the wheel re-
quiring the change can be driven
upon the curb or a small rock. resting

engines more than a pint Of water
may be removed under certain con-
ditions.
Steering KnuekIe Trouble.
The front wheel spindles upon
which the wheels are mounted turn
on the king bolt or pin. There are
bronze pin bushings to take the weaI,
but due to the lack of fabrication the
bolt often freezes in the bushings
and then the bolt turns around, caus-
ing wear where there is no renewable
bushing. In a case of this kind the
king bolt should be removed by first
removing the castellated nut at the
bottom.
When Pedal Serapes.
When the clutch or brake pedal is
depressed there often Is a scrapins
sound heard. This may be caused
by the pedal arm touching the fiy-
wheel or the fiywheel covering being
forced against the rotating wheel.
Sometimes it Is necessary to file the
pedal arm to stop the noise.
Emergency Anti-Freeze.
In a real emergency ordinary salt
may be used as an anti-freeZe. A
! saturated solution of salt in water
will freeze at about zero Fahrenheit.

Heavy Hauls of Freight Lessen
Burden of Railroads.

One OF the greatest economic handi-
caps that freight transportation OF
nearly all sorts has to meet lies in
the difficulty Of securing regular re-
turn loads. In fact 1t would not be
exaggeration to say that at least ss
per cent Of commercial car mileage
is run at a loss for this reason. if .
world average were taken. Any steps,
therefore. to remedy or lessen this
loss constitutes an attempt at reform
on big scale and the course Of such
Efforts is particularly worth study
ing. For this reason the system.
which has been introduced by the
British Ministry Of Munitions in the
Birmingham district. should be
watched with particular care, for OBJ
viously the return load question can
only be dealt with by cooperation.
and co-operation on such Q big scale
can only be achieved by big govern
ment department.
At present the munitions people are
advertising in the Midland papers to
call the attention Of manufacturers
and traders within a radius Of %
miles from Birmingham that freight
Of any kind except dangerous arti-
cles can be conveyed by automobile
between any points in the prescribed
area at low charges. Thus govern
ment controlled vehicles are being
utilized to help the private business
Of the country.

coil will consume about ten amperes
at six volts.
Wiring Inspection.
One of the inspections that should
be frequently made Is of the wiring
system to see that insulation, con-
facts. etc, are intact. Especially in
the. one wire system poor Insulation
will cause endless trouble. as in this
method Of wiring only one ground is
necessary to cause a short circuit In
making these inspections each wire
should be traced from end to end and
every intermediate contact should be
examined.
Thrust Washers.
Many cars are fitted with thrust
washers in various locations and such
washers eventually become worn and
Is due to a certain extent to the fact
that no oil grooves are provided on
the washer and consequently when oil
tries to make its way to the face Of
the washer, 1t is squeezed out 1t is
good idea to cut grooves In the wash
er, so that oil may be distributed over
excessive wear.
Gearcase Lubricant.
During the colder half OF the year.
gearcases packed with grease will
cause the gears to run practically
without fabrication. because the
grease sticks to the walls of the
housing and little IL any gets to the
0aar faath 0iI and mt 1raa Ga is fhe
proper lubricant for the gearcase al
any rate during cold weather.
Steering KnuckIe Play.
Play In the steering knuckle due to
worn king pin or worn knuckle
yoke, may be taken up by reboring

front wheel wobbling Is caused by
looseness In this Joint The reboring
of set of knuckles will cost some
where between "a and SIS, according to
the size Of the car and the imagina-
tion Of the repairman; therefore make
q bargain beforehand. The bushings
should be of bronze or some similar
soft metal.
Fitting skaftinE Bearing.
In replacing a bearing on Q front
wheel spindle for which It 10 a tight
fit, the car owner sometimes slips the
bearing on the taper end Of the
spindle and then uses the wheel as a
hammer to force it home. wheel and
bearing sliding into position on the
spindle at the same time. This L. poor
business. as the strain on the bearing
may break the hardened shoulder Of
the inner race, which Is meant to
Withstand wear but not shocks Of this
kind. The best way Of accomplishing
this work Is to slip a short length of
pipe over the spindle, the inner end
resting against the inner race Of the
bearing. By hammering the outer end
Of the pipe carefully. the bearing will
slip into place without trouble.
Water Control.
An effective, manual water control
may be made by removing the rub
Der hose between the top of the CYL
inders and the radiator and replacing
it with a metal one containing a shut

as are used on carbureters. A rod

FRANKLIN DRIVERS
AFTER $4,000 PURSE
Two Weeks Contest with 20 Prizes.
Entered by Dealers and Statesmen.

Over 800 Franklin men throughout
the country are takin:.: part for the
two weeks which begin November Is
in an extensive competitive publicity
effort having a purse Of s. 600 at stake.
The winner Of this event, the Show
the-Car Contest. will be the dealer or
salesman who gives a six-mile ride In
the Franklin car to the greatest num-
Der Of important passengers.
A valuation for all elasstdcations
Of passengers has been devised by the
factory. and II ranges from 500 to 100
points per person.
Professional men represent a GER
tain value; business men, another;
bankers, another; while there are sep
arate classihcations for farmers, city
and state officials club and society
women. in fact. classifications for ev-
ery walk In life. Two hundred extra
points are credited to each passenger
who drives the car for at least two
miles.
Twenty to share Purse.
The purse will be shared in by the
twenty men with the highest scores,
the Individual prizes ranging from
500 to so. The man with the thir-
teenth highest score can consider him
self lucky, as this position bears a
special prize Of s15o.
No. 13 has always been a luck tails
man for Franklin undertakings,
dating back to the inception of the
company.
A unique feature of this contest Is
that 1t reverses the obligation attach

move the tire.
Look at the Battery Terminals.
Did you ever wonder why the en-
gine does not show the accustomed
pep or why the lights burn dimly or
the ignition seems poor? Unfasten
the wires and bars at the batter ter
minals and notice IL they are clean.
They must be clean II current IL to

any green or white deposit you see,
and spread a little cup grease over
the parts to prevent corrosion.
OIL Spark and Throttle Levers.
Do not neglect to squirt a little
around the spark and throttle lever
connections. A little Of this oil will
run down the post and act as a lu-
bricant.
Speedometer Fallines.
When the speedometer fails to reg
lister it generally means that the fiex-
ible shaft end is not making contact
with the rotating shaft Of the speed
ometer. At the ends Of both OF these
are flexible Joints and II the shaft
pulls away from the instrument even
slightly there will be no registration.
This Is because the shaft in turning
does not turn the shaft in the speed
ometer. The remedy is to disconnect
the shaft at the instrument end, push
it tightly in place and then lock It.
Home Made EIectromagnet.
A simple six-volt electromasnet
for recharging magnetic magnets may
be made by winding about 800 feet OF

There still are a great many en-
gines without detachable cylinder
heads and these use valve plugs.
These plugs often leak. This leaking
may be stopped by spreading ordinary
paste stove blacking over the threads.
Do not use too much. This may be
used at any hot joint in place Of

because it does not make removal Of
the part an hours job.
Removing Overhead Valves.
In some overhead valve engines
valve grinding is made q harder task
. than it should be. because when the
valves are removed the owner dis
mantles the rocker arm assembly. In
most engines this Is not necessary
because the rocker arm can be dis
connected from the vertical rod,
pushed one side and the valve re-
moved In engines using cages this
is particularly easy though most own
ers go to the trouble of dismantling
the rocker arm assembly. To push
the rocker arm aside use a fiat
wrench with a pair Of pliers at one
jaw to twist with, as shown in the
accompanying illustration.
water In the Crankcase.
This is the time of the year when
water condemnation in the crankcase
Is a serious matter. The more cylin-
ders the engine has the worse the sit
uation. Water. a product Of combus-
ton. makes its way past the piston
rings into the crankcase, where 1t IN
terferes with fabrication. In the
warmer weather the water in the
form of steam condenses into water
e which contaminates the oil. The rem.
edy OF course lies in draining the oil
about every four weeks and filterins

through the system and hence to con-
troll the temperature Of the engine.
Repairing Keyways.
When keyways, become worn the
first impulse Of the car owner is to
ile the channel evenly and 1T a larger
key. Often, however. the shaft il so
small in diameter that increasing the
size Of the keyway, weakens the part
The Washington herald., 1917-12-09

seriously. Some other method OF re-
pair must be sought, and welding is
the best way out Of the difficulty. In
this process new metal is welded into
the old slot and then a new keyway 10
cut the same size as the old one. The
cost Of this operation is not important
and the keywsy is just as strong a. IL
was originally.
