LEAVES OF SPRINGS
REQUIRE ATTENTION
Without fabrication They Soon
Become Rusty.
Din, Mud and Other Foreign Matter
Can Be Excluded by Use Of Boots
Or covers-Good Leather Sub
stitute 10 Best.

The leaves of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one an
other when the car is In motion. Many
car owners allow the springs to get
dirty, to go without fabrication ano
TO become very rusty. The leaves be-
come SO dirty that. instead of sliding
on each other, they work almost as II
they were one solid piece of steel.
Then, when the car strikes hole or
bump in the road the springs are
compressed and, instead of each leaf
working as separate unit, the lower
leaves of rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction from
the compression of such a spring is
many times greater than the reaction
Of clean, well-lubricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip on
one another as they should.
The first step towards a remedy is
to keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots. Some supply stores
carry covers to fit good range OF
sizes OF springs. but II you can't buy
them already made, you should be
able to make them yourself, sewing
them together of leather or good
grade of leather substitute, advises
Motor Life Magazine. The advantage
of the latter material Is that 1t Is
much cheaper than leather and. being
waterproof, it will keep dirt and mois
ture from the springs. 1t isn't very
big job to make suitable spring covers
especially II you can get some Of thu
members Of the family interested L
the point that they will sew the cover.
together on the sewing machine. Sine
the fabrication on springs protected II
this way will remain in place verl
long time and will not gather grit an'
dirt, the slight expense and trouble
which the making and fitting Of tn
boots will entail will be well worth tn
effort.
