neat TRICKS IN
GREAS|NG AUTOS
vexatious Problem to Insert
Lubricant Through PIughoIe
Larger Than Gun Nozzle.
CHEMISTS CORKs ARE IDEAL
Special Guns Are Part Of Equipment
on Many Of Most Modern Cars
Having Lubrieatins Systems
Clean Out Yearly.

One Of the most vexatious greasing
problems is to insert grease through
plughOle larger than the nozzle of the
gun. To keep the grease from going
everywhere but into the hole, obtain
a cork about the size of the largest
plug on your car. Bore hole In this
cork SO that 1t will slide over the
stem Of the grease gun, and when you
are filling large hole simply push
this cork down to fill the oversize
opening. Chemists rubber corks are
ideal for this purpose. A rag or some
string packing wound around the stem
of the gun can be forced down to act
as would the cork.
Cars Have GreasIng Systems.
Many cars now equipped with greas-
ing systems using a special gun which
connects with the nipples on the car.
This makes 1t easy to do some advis-
able cleaning Of the grease passages
about once season. Attach the emp
ty gun, release the plunger SO that it
can be worked like pump, and then
proceed to force air through the grease
connections. This will serve to clean
out the distributing grooves in which
grease residue has probably CONCEALED
during the winter. To make still more
certain Of perfect fabrication, precede
the air pressure treatment with sim
liar treatment of kerosene to flush out
the dirty old grease, which will be
seen coming out on the opposite side
Of the spring shackle. Then use air
pressure to force out the kerosene be-
fore applying fresh lubricant
Other Places for Grease.
Nor is greasing something to be put
only Into gun cups and other specified
places. Wipe some grease on the wheel
shoulders against which the demount-
able rim rests on the inside. Do this
about as often as removal Of the rim
is required by tire changing. At the
same time apply grease sparingly to
the rim fasteners and to the rim bolts.
By this practice, nearly all rim squeaks
are permanently ended.
The chief objection, apart from en-
gineering considerations, is the diff
Guilty of making double gasket abb
solutely leak-proof. An Ingenious
method has been devised to eliminate
the extra gasket and accomplish the
same purpose. 1t Is necessary first,
to equip the car with so-called prim-
ing spark plugs. The little petcock
intended for injection Of gasoline is
removed. This leaves a threaded port
in the spark plug. In this hole screw
tube three or four inches long. with
the end of the tube tightly capped,
The effect is apparently the same as
If the cylinder content were enlarged
by the content Of the tube-the object
sought In the use of an extra gasket.

Proper care of the valves and

to be numbered among the "eX-

dividends In efficiency and mile
age.
Worn valve stems also cause
leaks which are quite as serious
as those Of the valves them
selves. In this case the failure
of the valve stem to fit snugly
into the guider allows air to be
drawn past the stem into the
cylinder, thinning the mixture to
such an extent that the engine
fails to run regularly unless the
mixture Is made richer, while
throttling down to less than ten

sible. The fact that valve

COAL MEN COME
TO MEET HOOVER
Will Seek to Bring the Minor
ity Branches Into
Line.

Coal operators and dealers, comply
ing with the administrators plan for
voluntary price restraint during the
present strike, were here today to
confer with Secretary Hoover on steps
for bringing into line the minority in
the producing and distributing
branches Of the industry who have
failed to cooperate in the plan.
Because of the noncompliance of
the operators and dealers in some dis
tricts, Mr.. Hoover said, In explaining
the necessity for the conference. the
average spot prices for bituminous
coal, after declining from 1857 to
S3.O8 ton when the voluntary plan
was put out. had increased again on
June IL to ss.44. This was due to the
fact. he said, that these operators and
dealers, encouraged by the criticism
OF the plan to believe it may be
broken down, and that the alterna-
tive of Legislation will give them
great delays. are making all the hay
they can in the meantime" In some
districts which have refused to accept
the voluntary program. the Secretary
said, the price has risen to as much
as IS a ton.
The conference also, Mr.. Hoover
said. will consider the use by some
operators of the maximum prices es-
tablished under the administration
plan where this is not warranted by
cost of production. In addition, ii
will advise with the Secretary in re-
gard to advancing prices of anthra-
cite coal in some localities.
