connections to the radiator are drip
ping and then look over every bolt and
nut within range Of your vision, includ-
ing the fender bolts and running board
bolts. While you are cleaning the
frame see if there are any bends or
cracks. AS you work back, if the clutch
or transmission case is dripping oil,
wipe it off and discover where the oil
is coming from. 1t may mean new gas
ket or merely tightening up the bolts
that hold the thing together. If you
oan get some one to manipulate the
clutch lever you can study its working
from an unusual point and may detect
something about to go wrong while you
are cleaning it.
The universal Joint is place where
there is sometimes great deal of
wear. Proper fabrication minmzes
this; likewise keeping it clean helps
Inspect this very carefully; see that
the bolts are all tight and that the
nuts are properly held with cottcr pins
or with stiff wire. Very often they are
wired together Unless you can fill
the universal with grease better from
above you should use the grease gun
and put in enough to fill the joint or
in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. AS a matter of fact, you
should have studied the manufacturers

fore getting under the car at all, so
that you know just which places to be
fabricated and how the fabrication is
done.

The Scrap Pile

There is good deal Of talk about
in expense Of removing the snow. A
snowstorm takes an awful lot out of
the average automobile, racking the
weaker cars almost to pieces. The
rear wheels spinning in the snow wear
out tires, universals and dffcrential.
Tho body is racked and twisted and
the body bolts get loose. The rutted
streets twist and rack the front end
Of the car.
That helps to explain why right now
service stations are busy with repair
jobs. 1t would be hard to estimate the
millions that snowstorm entails in
repair bills to motor cars.
Almost any kind of equipment is
good enough for an automobile in fair
weather. But when it comes to rain,
one realizes how many things there
are that help to make motoring com
fort. Such thing as, for instance, an
automatically operated windshield
varieties on the market. One of these
cleaners works all the time that the
engine is running and takes the job of
keeping the windshield clean away
from the operator of the car. This
leaves him both hands for driving and
permits him to concentrate his atten-
tion con the business of operating the
car.
Another thing that is the develop
ment of the rain vision windshield is
sort of pent roof over the wind
shield. In one of the cars at the show

Buying Season
I'm Used Cars Is
Now Very Active
No Risk in Purchasing Such
an Automobile if 1t Is
Sold by a Dealer Who
Rebuilds and Guarantees

Nearly every automobile dealer re-
ports a brisk business right now in
used cars. There isn't any good rea-
son why there should not be active pur-
chasing of secondhand cars, if they
have been rebuilt and lreconditioned.
If a prospective motorfst can find Il
company that rebulds its automobiles
thoroughly and vends them with a real
guaranty he can afford to purchase
such a car 1t is possible by taking
down car and replacing all the worn
parts to provide machine that will
give the same kind Of service as new
car, and, of course, at much smaller
expenditure to begin with.
Usually it is desirable tf '>uy used
car at the place where new cars Of that
make are sold. This is because rep
utable dealer in new cars must regard
any used car he puts out as an adver-
tisement of his whole line. He cannot
afford to misrepresent any goods that
bear the factory name, whether they
are Of this years issue or last.
Discussing this question the other
day with Walter A. Woods, preside mt
of the New York Automobile Dealers
fact that when his particular COM
pany offered the public rebuilt Peer
less car, the idea was to let the Gus
toner know that in purchasing a COM
modify bearing the Peerless emblem,
the rebuilt car leaves the sales1com
carrying with it the same guaranty
and confidence that the new product
does "This is what call old line con-
tidence and integrity in product, and
can only be instiled in the buyers
mind by honest service and square
dealing" says Mr.. Woods.
1t can be safely recommended to
the. general public interested in auto
mobiles, If surplus does not permit
the purchase of new car, to buv !
used car if it has been rebuilt and
guaranteed. by q reputable concern
1T is ordinary common sense to avoid
the gypper and the used-car dealer
who apparently. is in the "get rich
qulck' class and who wouldn't guaran-
tee gold dollar to be worth 1Oo
| cents.

What Does Your
Car Look Like
From Beneath?'
Worms Eye View of Chassis
May Reveal Dirt and Con-
fusion; Better if All Were
Clean and Shipshapc

Wonder what a worm thinks about as NE
crawls underneath your automobile? Does
shtpshape. or is there mess and confusion
in the up6erworksP A description of a
trip taken underneath your car is given
In this article by II. c BrolSaw. technical
director ot the West side Y. NJ. c. A.
Automobile School. 1t is \ interesting al
others In the sevies OF article for Tribune
aoaoe,s have been.
What does the worm think Of your
car as he crawls under it and looks
and bolts and other parts? Does the
worm class you as a careful fellow,
who looks after these things seen only
from below, or as a slovenly guy, who
cares only for the outward appearance
Of things? Do you really know what
is down under there? If you have not
inspected it take little time and look
it over.
You will need overalls and jumper,
or old clothes, because maybe your
car has dropped Oil and grease. If you
have a creeper on which to lie while
making the journey underneath. so
much the better. You can make a
creeper in an hour with four Stats as
long as you are tall, and couple of
cross pieces on which are fastened
good ball-bearing casters. You can
double up a coat or make cushioned
head rest. Better put on an old cap
with the visor turned to the back to
keep dust and grease out Of your hair,
and perhaps goggles to keep these
things out of your eyes.
But if you are one of those fas-
tidious fellows who do not like the
feel of grease on their hands and
smudge on the nose gives you con-
niption, better stay out from under
and give the garage mechanic job.
For it is going to be dirty hours
work. Gloves will protect your hands,
of course. You can expect to have gas
oline, oil, grease and dirt showered
down on you, though perhaps your car
is in such order that you will escape
all of these evils.
Getting Ready to Explore
Before you go under it would be
good thing to set the car up six or
New-York tribune., 1921-03-06

eight inches on skids. You need an
extension lamp, or a fash light, and
squirt can of oil, can of grease for
the cups, and If you are finicky knife
tc fill the cups and gun to force in
grease where there are no cups and
grease is used. And then, all the tools
YOU have in your car and lot more
ii you can borrow them, all lying with
in reach of your hand. You are going
TO make Job OF it. Then you need
some waste or rags, and little can of
Kerosene or kerosene and oil mixed,
for cleaning.
You are to clean everything in sight.
1t is toI be assumed,'that the car has
been washed off first to remove as
much mud as possible. You will have
to DO the. rest with the cleaning rags.
Clean everything, and be extra particu-
lar about every place that is lubri-
Gated Get the dirt out of the joints.
Screw down the grease cups until you
off all the dirt and gum with it, and as
you clean each part examine for signs
of wear, Indicated by play or lost mo-
ton, and for breakages.
You will note that nearly every nut
under there has a cottcr pin, or per-
haps piece of wire as substitute.
These should all be examined to see
whether they are about to shear off
and whether the pins are properly
spread, so that they will not drop out
from vibration. If the nuts have
worked loose and cannot be drawn up
tight. put lock washer under each,
but do not expect this to take the place
OF the cotter pins. Examine the brake
linkage very carefully for play or worn
parts These will usually show up
readily when they are thoroughly
cleaned.
Where to Begin
In doing this work, begin at one end
of the car and 60 through to the other.
1t is not bad idea to work way up
under the engine, first removing the
drip pan and laying that outside to be
cleaned before it is replaced. While
removing the drip pan examine it
pretty carefully; you may find that
missing cylinder or some other lost
part down there.
Looking up where the drip pan was,
you will see the base of the engine, the
part in which the oil is held which
lubricates the moving parts. This is
held to the rest of the engine by bolts,
usually with castellated nuts and cot
ter pins to hold them tight. See if the
cotter pins are all in place, if the nuts
are really tight. If they are not, oil
will surely work out from the gasket,
not only causing wear. but absorbing
the road dust and making mess gen
orally.
Look over the oil leads for leakage or
damage of any kind. See if the hose

tho differential indicates that some
thing needs Tightening unless the case
is cracked.
Toward the Rear
The axle housing and the inside Of
the brake drums and every other part
which is to be seen from beneath should
be gone over very carefully, looking
for wear, poor adjustment, broken
parts, or other undue looseness of any
kind. AS fast as u part is cleaned it
should ,be fabricated in accordance with
instructions given in the manufac
turer's book. In fact, the manufac-
turer's instruction book should be the
chart, compass, pilot and running lights
for your voyage under the car. For
you can be sure that the man who
wrote it knew what he was writing
about BY following it you will know
where to examine to see if the torque
tube is looscning, that the radius rods,
If there are any, are doing their work.
After going over the mechanism, work
over to each side of the car, where the
bolts which fasten the body to the
frame will be found; usually they will
be in the channel of the frame. Every
one of these must be kept tight to avoid
the squeaks and rattles which come
when there is play. Going over these
is more or less tedious, but it is very
necessary and it is we'll to get &C
quainted with these things, since usu-
ally here is where you must look for
the cause of the noise which annoys.
If there is a second universal, it
needs the same inspection and care as
the first, although in many of the re-
cent models the rear universal is moth
ing more than two fanges with a piece
of rubber or composition between 1t
merely requires thatthc bolts be kept
properly frightened.
Drtier but Wiser
You will probably emerge from the
car a good deal dirtier than you have
often been, but a good deal wiser as to
the way things look down there, and
the condition of the important parts
which can be seen in no other way.

Trucks and Tractors
Defeated Snowstorm

E'HE storm that deposited thirteen
n inches of snow in the streets of
New York City within twenty four
hours was not followed by such an
Intellectual struggle as marked
similar snowfall a year ago, when,
after twelve days Of traffic paral-
ysis, there was an economic bust
ness loss estimated at $60,000,00O.
For several months the municipal
forces had been awaiting such
challenge. Two hundred and twelve
White tivc-ton power dumping motor
trucks, purchased presumably for
the routine removal Of garbage,
ashes and refuse. but mindful also
of just this crisis. were quickly
thrown into the breach, along with
tanks, Holt & Cletrac tractors and
$4,000 to 10000 men. Many of the
trucks were equipped with snow
plows. The blockade first yielded,
then broke and finally was routed in
the sewers of New York.
