Sometimes brakes are hard to operate
after a trip over muddy roads 1t IS
because mud gets into the joints at the
brake bands and other places in the
braking system. These parts cannot be
properly cleaned merely by wiping. Ono
must dismantle them TO get a clean
working surface that will operate freely
when fabricated. Cleaning OF this sort
prevents rusting and certainly goes a
long way toward making for better
handling and car operation.
In hlHng the transmission and rear
axle with oil or other lubricant be sure
that the filing hole or opening Is clean.
Pouring oil into a small opening with
dirt all around the outside is bad. be-
cause the dirt goes right in with the oil.
Then you hear gear noises and wonder
how II happened so suddenly.
Universal points at best are hard to
lubricate and even II covered with a
leather boot are not proof against the
ravages Of dirt and mud. The more dirt
you allow 20 accumulate around these
parts the more dirt will get TO the work
ing surfaces.
1t pays TO have the car washed un-
derneath. but 1t also pays 10 wipe the
surfaces after spraying on water. The
wiping is necessary because some Of the
dirt sticks fast.
Look over the smaller parts OF your
car. the parts that are hard to see and
get at, also examine parts that don't
give you any trouble. You don't have to
do any more than clean and lubricate
them TO make them run for longer
period.

CARS THAT KEEP
CLEAN ARE CARS
THAT KEEP GOING
BY HIGH SPEED.


Dirt is undesirab Bile. no matter where
It is, but the average automobile owner
has yet to learn that dirt on the running
gear does more than merely cover UP
some painted or Imprinted metal. Joints
seemingly as tight mechanic can
get them allow dirt 10 pass through
The reason for the dirt being so IN
desirable near working parts Of the
chassis IS not so much because Il
doesn't look WELL but because II even
ur>!y gets 70 moving surface and
starts rapid wear. If you own watch
with a screw back on Ii and you keep
that match in one of your pockets where
odd things are put occasionally. just
remove that screw back and notice the
dirt that has worked its way in 1 men,
ton this merely to show that dirt gets
Into very small crevces quite easily
Around the engine and other parts of
the car there are supposedly tight joints
In addition to actual openings. Take
the front and cover. commonly called

allowing the cover TO move away from
the crank case a small fraction OF an
inch. With an accumulation of dirt over
the cover some OF the dirt Is bound to
get to the gear teeth. Dirt and lack or
fabrication of front end gears are re-
sponsiole for rapid wear and noisy op-
Grafton.
Every owner ought to keep the engine
clean by en- occasional kerosene bath.
Spray kerosene all over the engine and
wipe of every bit of dirt you can. This
goes for the crank case well as the
parts that you can see when you lift the
hood. Dirty oil. oil with sediment, old
oil not changed for some time. all are
causes of rapid engine wear.
How many owners ever see to II that
the combination breather and oil filler is
clean on the inside In some designs
there is every chance for a quantity Of
dirt to settle on the inside. and this is
washed down into the crank case whep
the next oil filling is made.
A dirty engine means loss in eff
cheney and q premature trip to the re-
pair shop. where the cost Of parts re-
placements will be higher than expected.
Take the average Ford. and many of the
larger cars, and examine even the out
side OF the ignition unit. The Ford tim
ers are usually covered with mud and
dirt. and this gets inside. cuts the seq
ments. interferes with proper ignition.

blocked by two large machines With
licenses from a western state.

garded as favorable development in
local trade circles 1t was thought in
some quarters that it might mean the
abandonment Of the investigation en-
tirely- There is no question in the
minds Of the steel men that if the in
curry were stopped the strike would
be settled in favor of the manufact-
urers: Judge Gary made this predic-
ton IN his testimony before the COM
