.OLD BUS NEEDS
GOOD SCRUTINY
/ At This STAGE
Every Part Should BE Carefully
Gone Oyer Before Start
ing on Tour.

The touring season is on. This
means that you must go over your
car, provided you don { want roadside
repairs. These few suggestions from
Fred G.. Jopp. a writer in The Mary
land Motorist," may help you:
First. clean up everything in sight.
And be extra particular to lubricate
everything that moves. Wind up all
the grease cups until they squeeze
out grease. then wipe them clean
Y Go over every nut on the car. Make
sure all cotter keys are in place ana
fastened, so they will not come out.
Make an extra effort of examining the
brakes and everything concerned In
their use. II the Innings are worn,
have them replaced.
- Donf Forget Brakes.
Remember, yoI y going into new
country and that your brakes must
be absolutely dependable. Use first
gear rather than the brakes In descend
ing the long hills. In this way you
use engine compression as a hold
back and save the brakes for an
emergency. But II you use the brakes
on long grade. stop every once In a
while and feel of them. II they are
hot. let them cool bfore you proceed
again. They'll burn out If you don't.
Better remove the drip pan, for you
might find that missing cylinder down
there or some other lost part. Make
sure that the engine base is tight.
Suppose 1t were loose and the oil
leaked out when you were miles from
any town. Then you would be "out Of
luck"
While you are cleaning the frame
see IL there are any bends or cracks.
As, you work back from the radiator
II the clutch or transmission case Is
dripping Oil, wipe it off and find out
where the oil 10 coming from. 1t may
mean a new gasket; perhaps mere
Tightening Of the bolts that hold the
thing together.
Look Mt Universal, Too.
See II the universal joint is tight
A good deal of wear occurs here.
Better feed II all the grease 1t will
take. Sec that the bolts are all tight
and the nuts are properly held with
cotter pins or stiff wire.
The axle housing should be inspected
for wear or undue looseness. See II
the torque tube is loosening. that the
radius df you own a flivver) is doing
its work.
In other words, all you have to do
Is to go over the entire car. clean
and tighten UP everything. While on
your tour a good plan is to look 1t
over carefully after each days run.
II you do you can gaily wave your
hand at the other fellow parked In
the shade Of a tree. who has neglected
to do these little things. But don't
make the mistake of trying to help
him unless he asks you. These days
motorists don't like to be told. They
learn by experience.
