WIRE DEFECTS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Welfare of Automobile Depends
to Large Extent on Good
Wiring.
NEEDS CAREFUL ATTENTION
Owners Should Famiiarize Them
seIves With Electric System OF
Their Cars-Dim Lights Are
Warning OF Trouble.

The wiring Of an automobile Is its
venous system and owners ought to
falniliarize themselves with the trou-
bles that poor wiring brings about.
A great many Of the complaints 81
lently borne by the storage battery,
the generator starting motor, and
lamps are largely traceable TO- the
wiring between these units.
The first thing to do when the
lights grow dim and the starter is
weak is to test the battery solution,
and If its gravity is 1880 or better
then the battery is all right Since
the battery feeds at speeds usually be-
low Is miles an hour and the genera
tor takes the whole load above that
speed, if the lights are dim below IS
miles an hour suspect the wiring; the
feed out Of the battery, in other
words.
Due to Bad Connections.
Prayed insulation at the terminals
often allows a strand of wire to get
loose and touch another wire or con-
tact point, and you Immediately notice
slight irregularity In ignition or
lighting. In the average car the cleo
trical connections are in a bad place
behind the instrument board-and you
must either remove the board or fuss
underneath and take chance on try
ing to feel the trouble. The charg
ing current travels through the am
meter, if there is one A bad con-
nection at the meter opens the circuit
and the guardian Of the whole system
Is put to Sleep which means you don't
know whether the battery is getting
food or not.
A car is driven over all sorts of
roads In all kinds of weather, and nat
urally water and dirt will get onto
the parts. The wiring housed in a
frame channel or on the engine side Of
>the dash is not excepted. On rainy
day the fan draft carries water into
the engine compartment and the wires
and cables get their share. Continue
this for many months and the cables
soon soak up enough moisture to keep
them constantly wet, hence giving con-
tinual trouble.
Should Be Protected.
In order that current flow be free
and uninterrupted, it Is necessary that
the wires be properly protected and
that the terminals be clean and Sc
cure. A loose connection does not al
low of the full measure of current
flowing all the time.
One loose ignition wire can upset
the operation of the engine, one badly
corroded terminal might stop the en-
gine, prevent the starter from operat-
ing and the lights from burning.
The electrical wiring In your home
rarely gives any trouble because 1t Is
well protected.
In the automobile much of the wir-
ing Is not so protected, but the owner
can get equally good results by pro-
viding substantial coverings for each
cable and terminal so as to exclude
the trouble makers-water and dirt.
an occasional inspection and Tightening
will defeat the effects of the vibration,
which Is inevitable.

NOISY Gears
mean DANCER
Tell Story Owner Ought to Inter-
pret in Terms Of Dollars
and Cents.
LACK OF OIL CAUSES TROUBLE
Study Of Rear Axle Construction and
OF Transmission Would Save Owner
Much Trouble and Some
Money.

It Is fact that great number Of
our cars are being driven over the
roads with noisy gears. This is being
done either through ignorance or in
direct defiance Of that we'll established
rule "a stitch in time, etc." The noise
Of the gear besides being unpleasant,
tells story which the owner ought to
interpret in terms Of dollars and cents.
Without knowing anything at all about
rear axle or transmission, the
average man should be able to know
the difference between rear axle that
ls normal and one, that is not. He may
not know the exact cause OF the
trouble or the manner in which 1t may
be remedied, but he certainly ought to-
be able to determine II 1t needs the
attention Of mechanic. The reason
for this Immediate Interpretation is
to save the owner money, for, like g.
case Of pneumonia developed from a
mere cold, If attention were given
early enough, the serious ailment would
not have developed. So with gears.
Once their bearings begin to wear and
so throw the gears out Of their relative
running truth, the gears Themselves
are affected so that II the condition is
allowed to get worse, pretty soon the
gears cut and chip and then fail alto
gether.
TWO Out Of Five Noisy.
Observations were made at one spot
along frequented highway, where for
hours an average of 1000 cars per
hour passed. A fairly accurate check
was kept on gear noises on level
stretch and without exaggerating,
every two cars In five had noisy rear
axles. It is doubtful If the owners OF
the cars realize the meaning Of such
noises, and II they know that In 30
per cent Of the cases the condition
can be corrected for few dollars, per-
haps requiring only bearing adjust
ment, shifting Of the differential,
quart or SO Of oil.
The rear axle is not the only offender.
The transmission gears need the
same protection, but usually they are
not at fault.
In order to understand just how
noisy gears come into being, one.
should study the rear axle construc-
tion. The driving pinion at the end OF
the propeller shaft is mounted usually
on two bearings. This pinion meshes '
with the large Or ring gear Of the d1f-.
ferential unit. the unit itself being
mounted on two bearings which rest

HOW TO DETECT
DECAY IN TIRES
Signs Of Old Age Much Like
Those in Men
Wrinkles and Cracks in the "skin''
Show Casing Is Getting Into
"Senile" Staae-care in
Storing.

When numerous small Sits and
cracks appear In a tire 1t Is a sign
of the approach of old age. Auto
castings in this respect are like men
and women. Although they don't get
gray haired, they do become wrinkled
and cracked, often chalky white in
appearance.
The fabric in an old tire gradually
becomes brittle and hard, so that it
breaks easily. Like the bones of old
people, it is difficult to knit. The tire
surgeons work increases in difficulty
with the age of the casing.
Those whose strength is conserved
do not SO readily show their age. The
best way to preserve their usefulness
is to take care of them. To hide the
effects OF age and wear motorists fire.
quently '3doll them up," painting the
side walls and washing with cleaning
solutions. Others pay no attention to
their appearance and permit them to
go shabby.
Ordinarily the small cracks appear
ing on the side walls do little harm
unless they penetrate througlrthe rub
Der covering to the fabric underneath.
It Is well worth the motorists atten-
tion to have his castings regularly In
spected.
Tires age fastest when lying
around. They are kept in best condi-
ton in actual service. If it Is neces-
sary to store them they will retain
their life longest in an even and mod
crate temperature and light.

IN the differential housing. In order
that the ring gear and the pfnion do
their work without noise the teeth Of
these gears must mesh properly. IL
the correctness Of the mesh Is de4
stroyed then noise results. Should the|
pinion shaft (hence the pinion itself)t
move relative to the ring gear the
tooth contact is at once changed and,
you get noise. The noise Is not nec-l
essarily steady one, but It may bel
interrupted, due to the fact that the
new areas Of contnct Of the teeth are
not all alike There may be high
spot on. one or two or more teeth and
when these high spots are struck the
noise changes.
Lack Of LubrIcatlon.
The plnion bearings may be OF the;
ball or roller type and there Is, in
most cars. a means Of adjustment Of
the bearings after they have BEEN
worn slightly. The cause Of the wear
may be natural, but In nine out Of ten
cases 1t is due to lack Of lubrication.
The differential bearings are not un-
like the pinion bearings IN the effect
they have no gear noises. These bear
ings If worn even slightly will allow the
whole dtfferential unit to shift side-i
ways and so disturb proper gear mesll.l
Once they start to wear and perlnitf
this action, the wear Is rapidly accel-j
Grated so that in d very short time
there Is no definite tooth contact.

Four in Norfolk to Seek Part of
Nilsson Estate
Three Women And One Man Say
They Are Children of Brother
Of Swedish Singer

Norfolk. Va. Dec. 19.-Three nieces
and one nephew of the late Christine
Nilsson, Swedish Nightingale" all of
them residents Of this city, are pre-
paling to sue for their share of the
fortune of 100000, reported to
have been left by the prima donna.
The four Norfolk people told law
vers that they were in ignorance of
the great fortune left by their aunt
until they recently read accounts of
a suit filed at Lynn, Mass. by Mrs.
George F. Murray, who says she is
the daughter of Madame Nilsson by
her second husband, the Count Casa
hi Miranda.
The four Norfolk claimants to the
Nilsson fortune are William B. Nils
son, a painter; Mrs. Christine Nilsson
Tabett, Mrs. Annie Nilsson Stanley
and Mrs. Maggie Nilsson Stallings,
all children of the late Andrew Nils
son, younger brother of the singer.
They declare that their father came
to America to make his fortune after
he quarreled with his Swedish kin.
They have in their possession let
ter written by Christine to her brother
in which she begs him to return to
his relatives in the old country. As
Andrew had married Norfolk girl,
Miss Maggie Simcoe, he refused to
return to his parents and the sister
lost track of him.
