culation of the syphonic system is
simply natural flow and this Is in

portion of the outlet pipe is empty,
resulting in overheating of the en-
gine.
To See Inside.
A very handy weapon to make
easy the examination of the inside
of a casing when looking for pune
lures, fabric breaks or weak spots,
Is a wedge made of a substantial
stick of wood three-quarters of an
inch thick and three to five inches
long, depending on the size of the
tire. This wedge may be slipped
between the beads and pulled
around the entire circumference of
the casing with one hand.leaving
the other flee to hold the tire.
Rim Paint.
Car owners should be reminded
that shellac Is not satisfactory for
painting rims; II peals of too quick
ly. Graphite paint is better for this
purpose and even ordinary paint Is
to be preferred to shellac.
RattIing Tire Chains.
The common method of locking
paddock. The only trouble with the
idea Is the noise incident to the rat
tling of the chain and the fact that
1t mars the finish of parts with
which It comes in contact. Some
car owners cover this chain with a
bit of hose. but this is usually too
stiff and is somewhat noisy and even
permits marring of the finish. A bit
of leather or heavy substitute. the
length of the chain and wide enough
to form a tube to enclose the chain
offers a satisfactory solution of the
problem. Turn in the edges Of the
leather case and IL you cannot do
the job yourself, the nearest har-
nessmaker will make the tube for
you.
Tool Arrangement.
An admira BILE idea in the arrange
ment of tools in the home garage Is
to give each tool a number. which
lis painted on it. The same number
is painted on the walls or racks in
the place where the tool belongs.
In this way II is a simple matter to
return each tool to its proper place
so that it is read when II is next
needed.
Low Water.
Operating the engine without suf-
ficient water or with no water at
all, may result in injury to the
spark plugs. To give service with
out cracking the plugs must be
properly cooled and provision for
this is generally made in the water
jacketing system. when the water
runs low the plugs become hotter
and there is great danger OF their
being damaged.
Spark Advance.
The car owner should keep in
mind that one OF the most prolific
causes of engine ovcrheatinE is
driving on a retarded spark. The
cause is obvious, the explosion TAX

Brake squeaks.


Chronic squeaking in the braking
system is generally due to dirt that
has been imbedded in the lining
and is pressed against the drum
when the brakes are operated. Usu-
ally this dirt may be washed out
with kerosene. but IL 1t is so hrmly
'intrenched that it refuses to come
out with this treatment a little
resin mixed with castor oil and
applied to the bands will cure the
trouble.
Clear Vision.
To secure a clear view ahead
through the glass of a windshield
In rainy weather Is vitality impor-
tant to the safety OF the motor car
and its occupants. Many schemes
are used to. keep the glass clear
in wet weather, but perhaps the old

bottle and rubbed on the glass as
tanning the solution Is wrapped In
a cloth and slowed in the side pocket
1t will always be ready for use and
a cloth to apply II with, will be
at hand.
Pipe Cement.
Brown shellac mixed with graph
lite makes an admirable cement for
pipe joints and connections which
are subjected to heat and compress
sion. The two ingredients should
be mixed to a paste and smeared
over the joint needing treatment.
Cleaning Seat Covers.
Seat covers may usually be
cleaned very satisfactorily with a
nonalkaline soap and warm water.
The best way to carry out the job Is
to take the covers off and give them
a good scrubbing on the board.
Vaseline for Terminals.
The car owner should not forget
that ordinary vaseline is perhaps
the best medium available for coat
ing battery terminals and connec-
ters. The vaseline has the great
advantage. of preventing corrosion
from acid or water that may have
Oeen SpllleQ.
Hinge Lubricant.
Linseed oil mixed with a small
amount of graphite is recommended
as a lubricant for door hinges and
latches, which seldom receive at
tention in this way. Ordinary cylin-
der oil has a tendency TO run, which
is not desirable at this location be-
cause the clothes of passengers are
likely to come in contact with 1t.
Short Circuits.
There is frequently danger of
short circuits in the battery be-
cause of the fact that one of the
terminals is located near the metal
handle used for lifting the battery.
To obviate this danger il is only
necessary to slip a short length of
, rubber tubing over the wire at the
point where the contact might be
made. To do this the tubing should
! be slit lengthwise, slipped over the
wire and taped firmly in place. It
is a good plan to follow this prac-
tice wherever there is danger of
the wires rubbing off their insula-
tion and so establishing a short cir
cult.
Tire Chains.
Tire chains are practically always
used in wet weather and care is
Necessary to keep them from get
ting rusty. The chains should al
ways be dried off before they are
returned to the tool box after use.
Especially should the clamps be
looked after. A little cup grease or
vaseline will prevent rusting and
eliminate the trouble OF prying them
open or using a hammer to close
them. There should always be car
ried in the tool kit a crosspiece tool
and one or two extra cross chains.
