SOME RATTLES.

II is when you drive your Cur over
rough roads that all sorts Of rattles and
equeaks are heard, most OF which you
cannot locate. May say that they would
like to know ghese certain noiaes ore
coming from because once located it IN
usually an easy matter TO find some
means of remedying them. The next
time you are confronted with tins problem
the first thing to do is to attempt to find
the location Of the sound, that is whether
forward or rear. After that keep in mind
the kind of n sound it is, whether tinny or
more solid in character The average
owner allows the parts TO remain loose
until the car goes to the shop, all because
of his inability TO find the exact cause.
Some owners attempt To trace q noise
and tighten everything in sight without
getting results. Head lamp glass fronts
will confuse an owner in this way. They
will rattle in their frames and emit tinny
sound very much like that of q loose
license plate.
In company with the noises mentioned
is that produced by n cooling fan. Few
owners suspect fan of making noise,
but loose blades or end play in the fan
often produces the tinny sound so com
mon to the cheaper grades Of cars.

MOVING COSTS.

''It is estimated that one billion, two
hundred million tons of goods are hauled
yearly by motor trucks at a cost of an
average Of Is cents per ton" says J. L
Lynch, director Of sales Of the Kiasel
Motor Car Go. "This gives us total Of
ono hundred and eighteen million dollars
for moving the above tonnage. In com
pairing these figures with that Of wagons
and horses, we find that the cost Of main
tanning and operating horse teams is
80 cents per ton mile, which If correct,
gives a saving of two hundred and six-
teen million dollars per year in favor Of the
motor truck.

CLEAN VALVE STEMS.

Motor car owners could very casily
cut down repair bills if they would oc-
caslonally examine the various mechan-
lcal units in their car" says G. S. Avery,
local sales manager of the bort Motor
Car Co. at does not take much time, nor
for that matter any great amount OF me
chanical knowledge, TO tighten bolt
here and there, and in the long run, this
may save a serious repair bili There are
many ways in which owners could operate
their cars at n great deal lower expense
simply hy performing these little acte.
For example, an easy method of cleaning
valve stems, under suspicion Of harboring
carbon deposits, is TO inject a little kero-
scne in the air valve OF the carburetor
while the engine is running. In this way,
the kcrosine finds its way down the vaive
stem and softcns and washes of the car
bon. It is not bad idea to do this once
