MOST ANNOYING
TROUBLES OF CAR
Constant Squeak Is One of First
Symptoms of Neglect.
MOST DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
IF Noise Comes Only When Brake Is
Applied 1t Is Evidently in Brake
Rands~-FauIt Also May Be
Found in Springs.


81 an automobile is that constant
squeak that cannot be located" says
William II. Stewart, Jr, president of
Z prominent automobile school. 1T is
one of the symptoms of neglect, and it
cries out to you every time the car
sways or strikes a rough spot or turns
a corner or starts or stops or seem
ingly does anything else. At every
move there is cry of protest, which
is all the more maddening because you
cannot locate it. If the squeak comes
only when you apply the brakes it is
evidently in the brake bands, but
other squeaks are not so readily To-
Gated.
May Be in Springs.
"Ihe next likely place is in the
springs and spring shackle bolts. The
springs are habitually neglected and
so, rnn dry. In orders,to prevent .tslsaia
the leaves should be creased at least
once a month. Jack up the frame to
take the weight OF the car off the
springs. Spread the leaves apart, one
by one, prying them open with a cold
chisel or metal handled screwdriver
driven by medium-weight hammer.
This will chip off some of the paint,
but that is unavoidable. Then spread
graphite grease between the leaves by
means Of thin knife or a hack saw
blade. AS you cannot reach all the
way to the center where the clips hold
the springs firmly together, use cylin-
der oil mixed with u little flake graph
lite. If springs are badly rusted they
should be removed and the rust filed
off--a dirty job and q tedious one.
They may then be properly creased be-
fore replacing.
There is a special tool on the mar
ket which may be used to spread the
spring leaves without lacking up the
frame. 1t works as a double wedge
and is very satisfactory.
Quick Method Suggested.
''If time presses use the following
method: Wipe dirt off springs with
waste and kerosene, using plenty of
kerosene and guiding it down the sides
so that it may run in between the
leaves. This it does readily, as it is
not repealed by the rust. Wipe off the
surplus and then pour some medium.
bodied cylinder oil over the springs
guiding it down the sides in the same
manner. The oil alone would be re-
PEELED by the rust, but the kerosene
has an affinity for it, Trims it and ii
runs in fairly well. Stand on front
spring hangers and rock car or do the
same from each running board. This
action will help spread the oil and SC
find the squeak if it is anywhere in the
springs,
Next turn your attention to the
hood and mud guards. Raise each side
of the hood and see if the strips OF
rawhide are in place. If they are
worn through or missing they must be
replaced. A little neatsfoot oil might
be rubbed into them as an extra pre-.
caution. Close hood and see if metal
touches metal at any place. A light
touch of graphite grease should be
applied here and there and particularly
along the hood hinges and where the
rod touches dash and radiator. Now
shake the car again or try it out on q
rough road.

Mr.. Wilson urges both state and

cope with them, women, more than
ever, need to be equipped with the
