tnls reason many engineers make the error of supplying springs of a certain deslgn with the result that the owner or the car soon finds out he needs shock absorbers. It is quite possible to get along without shock absor bers on many cars, but so many have at least one bad feature that shock ab- sorpers are a welcome addition. There are certain cars that show fine results over ordinary macadam roads but so soon as a really rough road is en- countered the passengers cannot keep their seats.
 Springs no matter of what. type may give the owner thouble. I have re- ceived reports lately of certain makes of cars that are chronic spring break CTS. One owner told me he replaced four right rear springs and doesn't Know what is causing the trouble In many cars with Hotchkiss drive, where the proper provision is not made to take the additional stresses, spring breakage may be common. If your car gives persistent spring trouble buy the best main leaf possible keep the the spring clips always tight and the shacBles free with a minimum of side play.
 Springs require fabrication just as any other parts. While the car is in motion the spring leaves rub over each other and therefore they should be fabricated. Whenever a spring is removed and the leaves separated spread graphite over the surfaces. There are on the market some special constant lubricators for springs and the majority of these are good. Some are in the form of wicks properly SUD- ported and fed from an oil well. There are spring covers also which enable lubricant already spread between the leaves to be retained and above all prevent water from getting in.
 ShackleS are a common source of trouble. Spring shackles are necessary in order that there be room for flatten- ing of the spring when the frame goes down. The shackle amounts to a free joint between the spring and the frame. The shackles are supported by bolts and if these latter are not well oiled or greased freedom of move ment is restricted. While grease is not the best lublicant for shackle bolts it is better than none at all. Grease is bad because it hardens and does not work its way to the rubbing surface. Where possible oil cups should be substituted for grease cups.
 Shackles often are noisy due to side play. This may be caused in some de- signs by looseness of the bolt and in others by wear. Where shims are supplied it is easy to take up the play.
 In cars fitted with cantilever springs with the free end forward and the per manent end on an oscillating member round the axle tube the latter mem- bers should receive it's share of lubri- cant. Considering the strenuous na- ture of their service, the springs do not ordinarily receive the care and attention they deserve. A very brief periodic going over, and above all sys- temat1c fabrication, will keep the springs functioning properly, adding greatly to the comfort of the car own CT and his passengers.

regularly carried by hardware stores, but it may be obtained from dental supply houses.
 Interior Wire Break : On rare occasions it happens that a wire breaks inside it's insulation. giv- ing no exterior sign of the trouble The car owner thinks the ignition system has gone bad, changes spark plugs, sends the magneto to the service station, &c., when all the time this interior wire break is the cause. In the event of an obscure ginition trouble remember this.
 Leaking Tube
 Sometimes an inner tube receives a puncture big enough to allow the tire to become reflxed after a brief inter val but not visible to the naked eye. When this happens in the garage the bucket of water tells the tale at once, but on the road about the only way of locating the leak is to inflate the tube and hold successive portions of it close down to the dust along the sur face of the road. When the puncture is brought into this position the out puff of air will ruff1e the dust and indicate the position of the leak.
 Speckied Varnish.
 The varnish on the new car fre- quently becomes speckled after its first encounter with a rainstorm. These spots are hard to get off, but a treatment with raw linseed oil and salt and malt vinegar applied with plenty of elbow grease will come as near turning the trick as anything.
 Cause of Knocking.
 In motors with detachable cylinder heads great care should be taken to see that the gasket used to pack the joint does not project into the com bustion chamber. When this occurs the gasket is likely to become incan- descent, causing preignition knocks and even back firing in the carbureter
 Home Made Cement.
 Four parts of iron filings, two of lime and a fifth part of common salt mixed to a paste with vinegar make an excellent cement for spark plugs for connecting pipes, SC. When care fully mixed this cement will stand compression and heat and can be air dried.

Get Acquainted With Your Car
"A LITTLE ADVICE NOW AND THEN IS RELlSHED BY THE BEST OF MENv

A few years ago there was the greatest diversity of opinion as to the correct type of bring suspension and motorists, even those of experience, were comparing easy riding by com pairing the spring design. It has been proved by many engineers that any of the ten to fifteen different spring suspensions in use will give the desired results if the layout is correct for the particular car in which it is en- ployed. In other words, it doesn't mat ter so much whether the springs are semi elliptic or three-quarters elliptic, so long as the spring length is correct, the number of leaves accurately pro- portioned to the work to be done and so on. There will shortly be an ounced new model of car of very pop ular make with a brand new spring suspension which is claimed to give easy riding in a light car such as can- not be duplicated in any car of what ever weight with conventional springs. The maker attributes the easy riding to the spring suspension, though most of those who have seen the car believe it is just as much a matter apart from the mere springs.
 IeLluc l6W LII lll6 IIldIly suspensions now in use, there are: Cantilever, as on tho King (properly semi-elliptic cantile~er); quarter el- liptpic cantilever, as on the small Chew rolet; semi-ellypic transverse. as on the Ford; double semi elliptic trans verse, as on the Marmon; the semi-e liptic design is used for front springs on every car but the Ford and Chev- rolet and on the majority of rears also; plotforrn, as used on the Cadil- lac; three quarters elliptic as used on the Franklin; double cantilever, as used on the Austin, and the new sus- pension mentioned previously.
 That there is such diversity of opinion among engineers is but nat ural. All of the designs were pro- duced in order that the best results be had for all-around conditions, but to say that because platform spring, for example, gives good results one one design of car it will do the same on a totally different car is not true.

The California rice crop is making
excellent progress and If present

for 1918. The development of this
crop has been most rapid. The acre
