By ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
Editor of Motor.

Some years ago nearly every
owner Of a motor car in this country,
put his vehicle in storage at the be-
ginning of winter and did not take
1t out again until spring came to dry
up the roads and make outdoor sport
something more than a venture. This
has changed within the past few years
and today a majority OF car owners
employ their vehicles all the year
around. The increase In the popular.
ity of the sedan and In heaters that
keep even the touring car comfortable
In winter, has had much to do with
this.
However, there are still a minority
of car owners who find 1t necessary
to store their vehicles during the cold
months and for the benefit OF these,
we shall outline briefly what ought
to be done to obviate damage to the
car and it's various accessory units.
In the first place 1t is obvious that
the cooling system Of the car should
be drained of its water and In doing
this 1t Is well to run the engine for a
minute or so to dry out the water

SPRING SHACKlE
RATTlES ANNOYING

Spring shackle play or looseness be-
tween the spring end and the shackls
may give much annoyance until the
seat Of the trouble is discovered. Rat
Ting caused by this looseness will be
more frequent and distinct when the
car is riding over fairly rough roads.
A good method Of taking up the play
may be removed by tightening the
spring bolt. Watch the shackles and

small particles of flinty grit in the
mud make their way into the working
parts and cause excessive wear. Lub-

Eddie called 'em in the Western

umpire he was very unpopular here.
On one occasion, his conduct at the
city park was such that he was ar
rested, brought into police court and
made $40 bond which was later for
! feited. His arrest followed a fist
fight with Manager Ned Pettigrew
/
who charged the big man with par
tiality and unfairness.
