YOU AUTO KNOW

That the squeak which fire.
quently develops in Il new car
an annoying little sound which
seems now to be in one section
of the machine and now in an
other-is usually due to lack of
proper fabrication of the spring
shackles. The best way to over
come this difficulty is to have the
"A lacked up, all the shackle
pins driven out and the passages
which the grease is intended to
travel thoroughly cleaned.
Ordinarily, it will take some
little time to attend to this, but
the operation is well worth
while because, until the grease
passages are opened so that the
lubricant can come directly in
contact with the joint, the
squeak will grow steadily worse
and, rs every owner knows,
the only thing worse than a
squeak is n balky engine. Heavy
grease should be applied directly
to the bolt when this is slipped
back into place and, in nine
cases out of ten the elusive
squeak will disappear imme-
diately.

tion of a steel bridge across the st.

in addition to a proposed 320-foot
bridge across Sand creek, one-half mile
east of Denver. The estimated cost of
the Lincoln county bridges Is placed ut
$4,000, while that of the Sand creek
bridge is estimated at $1,000.
Bids are to be advertised soon for
the construction of four and four
tenths miles of concrete paved road on

COOLING SYSTEM
Efficient unit
Average Owner Often 0verlooks
Existence of This Part of
Cars Anatomy.
PLAN TO FORESTALL FAILURE
Not a Very Great Amount of Attention
Is Necessary, But All Parts Should
Be Cleaned Yearly-Also Re-
new Rubber Hose.

One of the most thoroughly efficient
units In the modern motor vehicle is
the cooling system. The average car
owner pretty nearly forgets the ex-
istence of this part of the cars
anatomy except for the rare occasion
when something goes wrong in it.
Now. it is generally possible to fore
stall any failure in the cooling sys-
TEN If certain simple rules of main
tenance are followed.
In the main, water cooling systems
are all very much alike. The water
In the jackets c%irculates around the
cylinders, picking up the excess heat
and hen going to the top of the ra-
the bottom through cells or tubes, get
ting rid of much of its heat on the
way. A fan is provided to send air
In through the tubes or the radiator,
assisting in the dissipation of the
heat. Without the help of the fan, 1t
would require "A much greater area of
radiation to get rid of the heat.
Water cooling systems are divided
into two distinct types, known re-
spectively as thermo-syphon and
pump. The thermo-syphon depends for
its effectiveness on the working of a
simple natural law. Hot water is
lighter than cold and rises to the top.
The ther1no-syphon water system
has the great advantage of simplicity /;
In fact, nothing could be simpler; it

the system is quite adequate to or
binary demands. II is particularly eff.
fective on small engines. The matter
Of design Is paramount with respect
to this type of cooling system. In the
thermo-syphon cooling system OBJ
structions are more serious than in the
pump system. because there Is not the
positive flow of water which tends to
push minor distractions of foreign
matter out of the way. The thermo-
syphon system must be kept rigorous
ly clean.
In the pump cooling system n centri-
fugal pump, driven from the engine,
forces the water around the system,
thus maintaining the circulation need
ed for proper cooling. As long as
the engine Is running the pump is OPP
Grating and the water is circulating.
The pump system is more expensive
TO install, which explains why a ma
jority of our American cars use Their

The cooling system does not need
any very great amount OF attention.
II should be thoroughly cleaned out at
lense once Il year and ii Is advisable
to take the radiator to u firm spe-
ciallzlng in this work for cleansing.
AS much as four pounds Of muck are
often taken out of one radiator. Many
car owners find II advantageous TO I'LL

ton OF washing soda ana water and
