HELPFUL HINTS.

Get an extension lamp for use
about the engine. Fasten the
socket TO the dash. under the
hood and tap the battery leads
at some convenient place. Use
the same kind of lamps (single
or double wire) as are used on
your car. Then YOU may use the
socket in the tail light if work
ing at the back of the car.
Many new motorists neglect TO
practise backing. with the result
that when they have 10 do so

wide open space and practise un-
til you can control the car Just
as well backing as when going
forward.
Should a valve spring break
and no extra spring be available
use a metal washer with a hole
larger than the stem of the valve.
Place il between the broken parts
of the spring to serve as tenn

When fastening tire chains be
careful not 10 draw them too tight

The porcelain Of the spark
plug will sometimes crack and so

is any indication of a cylinder
missing fire, although a good
spark is delivered to the plug re-
move and inspect the core. The
slightest sign of a crack is
enough to condemn it,

Why doesn't the magnetic kick back
