THE EXPERTS SAY.

Demountable rims often give trouble
by becoming bent or warped so they do
not go over the felloe band easily. Con-
tinued hammering only complicates the
trouble in most cases, but with an extra
Jack the solution is simple. By placing
the Jack on the hub and using it to
force the balky rim upward. a few taps
Of the hammer will send it over the
felloe. If second jack is not available
the rim and tire can be secured from
slipping by rope or strap and the jack
removed from underneath the axle, used
as a lever and replaced under the axle
so that the retaining lugs may be put
in place properly. There should be an
equal space between the rim and felloe
band all the way around. II this Is not
on the bearings and perhaps make the
wheel ride unevenly.
In replacing wiring on a car it fire.
quently becomes necessary to attach
new terminals. The easiest solution is
wires, leaving about one and one-half
inches Of the old wire attached to each
terminal Wire and terminal are both
cleaned to give good contact and then
the wire is connected firmly to the new
piece by twisting the strands together:
soldering and tapping the joint carefully.
Unless washed of promptly with soap
and water, road tar will quickly harden
on a car. leaving unsightly streaks and
spots. There are several good ways Of
removing 1t, however. One consists in
the application Of butter or oleomarga-
rine which will soften the tar without
injurfng the varnish. Another good
solvent is cocoa butter. which is used
in the theatrical profession for removing
grease paint. This can be purchased
at drug stores and is a harmless solvent

TOLL ROADS TO BE FREED.

YORK. Pa, May 1o.-Plans for the
freeing of the last Of the tsll roads
in York and Adams counties are now
in such shape that the end is in sight.
There remain in York county. on the
Sproul system. 14.9s miles. while Ad-
ans county has 1851 miles on this
system.
There is a state appropriation avail
able whereby the roads on this system
can be freed by the counties paying
half the cost of their purchase and
the state the other half.
There are two York county turn
pixies on the Sproul system as 1t
stands at present. One Of these is the
York and Chanceford turnpike. ex-
tending from York to Dallastown
The other is the Hanover and Balti-

pairing will find it well worth while
to '/ck a piece Of sandpaper to a
cylindrical block of wood three inches
in diameter and foot long. For
it is often handy to have small fiat
or round sticks Of wood wrapped with
sandpaper.
Motorists are often tempted to
straighten dented tenders by ham
mering either direct or with a wooden
block without removing the tenders
because. although it may serve to
smooth out small. shallow dents, it
will usually result in battered ap-
pearance when employed on more Sc
rious injuries. The best method is to
remove the damaged fender from the
the dents with a mallet or hammer
and a block of wood shaped on one
side to fit as closely as possible the
curve of the fender. 80
Misf1ring. especially at low speeds,
is often due to leaky valve guides. as
air Is sucked in and dilutes the mix
ture. The best remedy is to press out
the old guides and press in new ones,
but the cost of this may be too great
or perhaps the guides are integral
with the rest of the cylinder casting.
To prevent leakage makeshift meth
cd must be employed. Sheet metal
thimbles may be fashioned so that
they are fair fit over the end of the
valve stem, being held by long, slim,
coiled spring which rests in the an
nular space between the valve spring

BILE tight against the opening between
the valve stem and its guide. effec-
