keep WATCH ON
GASOLINE PUMP
Pointers Given to Motorists by
National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce.
CONSERVE FUEL and MONEY
Twelve Excellent Rules Formulated
for Benefit Of Owners-Short De-
livery Is Likely II Details Are
Overlooked.

Points for motorists to remember
when purchasing gasoline have been
formulated by the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, with
view to conserving gas and saving
money for the car owners. He is ad-
vised as follows:
1. Urge your dealer to make daily
test Of the accuracy of his gasoline
measuring pump with standard FIVE
gallon measure.
2. On pumps making one-gallon de-
livery, see that the pump operator
makes full stroke and that the piston
travels Its full length.
Watch Indicating Device.
8. Watch the counter or indicating
device on all pumps provided there
with.
4. See that the operator drains the
delivery hose.
8. On pumps provided with gradu-
ated glass-cylinders. see that the gaso-
line reaches the proper graduation.
6. Beware Of the filling stations
where the delivery is outside and the
pump inside the building.
z. Operators should willingly test
pumps in the presence of the autoist
with the five-gallon standard measure
sealed by the local inspector of weights
and measures,
8. Short delivery gasoline is some
times caused by leaks in the supply
line to the pump. This condition causes
the pump to deliver air instead of
gasoline and can be detected by the
sputtering sound.
8. If the gasoline is low in the sup
ply tank, short delivery is likely to re-
suit. This can be detected by the ir-
regular flow of gasoline and the sput-
tering sound. Such condition is fire.
quently encountered where portable
filling tanks are used.
First Delivery Short
10. The first delivery made by a
pump after it has been standing Idle
for some time is invariably short This
is caused by the gasoline already in
the measuring chamber leaking back
into the dealers supply tank through
leaky check valve.
II. View with suspicion a gasoline
delivery hose attached to well in the
curb. 1t is impossible to properly drain
a hose so installed. and adequate meas
ure cannot be obtained unless this is
done.
lfberately manipulated TO deliver short
amounts through the changing of meas
urlng adjustments.

Owners of cars fitted with wire
wheels should give these parts week
ly inspection for loose, spokes.
The constant use of hard or dirty
water for cooling purposes will result
in the clogging of the radiator.
Car owners should get into the hab-
1t of using belt dressing for the clutch
leather to swell it and act as rem
edy for slippage.
When replacing tire tubes 1t is es-
sential that tale or French chalk
should be thoroughly distributed over
the inside of the casing.
All japanned bodies get dull in n
painfully short time after they go in
to actual service, and this is true Of
some rather high-priced cars.

VALUE OF WEATHER REPORTS
New Service Proving Of Much Benefit
to Automobile Owners Where
1t Has Been Tried.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
The highway weather service, one
of the new enterprises of the United
States department of agriculture,
operated through the organization of
the weather bureau, is proving of
benefit to automobile owners where
it has been tried. The meteorologist
in charge Of the weather bureau office
in Kansas City, Mo-, recently re-
ported:
"The demand for a road reporting
service is quite general and insistent
and it will continue so, increasingly,
until dirt roads become an anachron-
ism. This Office established road or
highway reporting service April / of
this year and, without exaggeration,
it is equal to the most practical SER
vice which our office otherwise can
perform. 1t amounts to the direction
of public motor travel, and persons
start or postpone trips as we advise
The highway weather service was
began as a war measure In aid Of
motor transportation and was con
Quoted with emergency money until
the end of the war. Though congress
made no appropriation for its continu-
ance during the present fiscal year,
the demand for it was such that the
department is endeavoring to continue
1t without special funds TO meet the
expense.
