SPRING HOUSE CLEANING

FREQUENT ATTENTION.

sticking in their bushings. will cause
hard riding. Very often easy-riding
cars will operate like log wagons on
slightly rough roads. Sometimes,
the spring bolt will break on rough
roads at high speed due to tightness.
This will unbalance the car and
cause II to sway on the road, often
resulting in serious accident.
The best method Of giving spring
bolts proper attention and lubrtca-
ton. which will insure you against
hard riding, springs breaking at the
eye and rattles developing, Is to lub-
ricate them frequently during wet
weather and when driving over mud
roads; always lubricate them after
washing the car. 1t Is the road
splash and water when washing,
that removes the lubricant
High pressure grease guns have
become very popular for spring bolt
fabrication in recent years, since
these tend to force out the old lubri-
cant and grit. However, when ap-
plying these systems to cars that
are equipped with oilers on the
spring bolts, It will be necessary to
remove the bolts and take out the
oil wicks that are placed in the cen
ter of spring bolt oil holes. This is
very important as the wicks may
plug up the holes under high pres
sure. Therefore, the system cannot
function properly and cannot be at
tached very readily AT small expense
to chassis that have been designed
for oil.
The writer has always contended
that oil is the best lubricant for
spring bolts and steering knuckles
and still believes this. and would
recommend that IN cases where the
high pressure grease guns system is
being attached to spring bolts. that
are designed for Oil. there Is no bet
ter way OF putting the oil in than by
filling the grease gun with heavy
oil, and use the system as a high
pressure oil gun.
The tolls for spring fabrication
should be kept In a convenient place
in your garage as q reminder and
should be carried in the car when
touring and used daily when touring
over wet dirt roads.

FAVORS' REAR
HEADLIGHT FOR
NIGHT DRIVING
Illumination Of Road Behind
70. Approaching Car Would
Make for Safety.

No one who has driven a car at
night for any number Of years will
hesitate to say that the anti-glare
lenses are a vast improvement over
the old plain glass style.
At the same time no one who
drives much at night will deny
that there remains much room for
improvement. While the majority
of the multitudinous safety lenses
keep the glare from the drivers
eyes, the road is visible up to the
approaching car and no farther.
1 have always noticed in night
driving that II l meet two cars, say
a couple Of hundred feet apart,
the first car Is easy to pass, says
Walter Floyd Messenger. The light
of the second car shows me the
road directly behind the first. This
circumstance indicates that a strong
light behind the car you are pass
ing is of great benefit. Why, then,
would 1t not be possible to place
a light as powerful as the head
light on the rear of every car,
showing the road behind that car?
Such a light could have a switch
on the dash and be turned on only
at the approach of another car,
thus eliminating promiscuous blind
ing Of any driver coming up be-
hind the car SO equipped.
The overtaking driver, knowing
that the front man was meeting
another car, could act according
ly. while the approaching motorist
would derive great benefit from a
clear view of the road.

Rim Defects.

When caught on the road with a
punctured tire and a good inner tube
in the tool box, nothing is more dis
heartening than to experience trou-

a small cost, any blacksmith can
make n tool that Is Indispensable in
such an emergency.
Two rods with the ends flattened
and hooked are cut just long enough
so when put end to end they will be
six inches short at the diameter of

as shown in the drawing. In use,
hook one end of the tool on the rim
at the seam and the other end direct

Then insert the jack handle in the

significance for the Cadillac organi-

score of years ago that the COM

The custom Of planting ivy

However, the Cadillac Company
believes that the idea of having

A Tip When Buying a Used Car.

When buying a used car, be, sure
that all four wheels are the same
size. In some early makes the front
wheels were smaller than the rear
wheels. This was Objectionable for
a number of reasons, one OF which
was the necessity of carrying two
different sized spare tires.

MOTOR TIRE REPAIR
NOW UNIFORM PRICE

Many motorists, say Miller tire
men, have not yet got rid OF the old
idea that tire repairmen base their
charges on what the traffic will bear.
The fact is that most repair shops to-
day have a uniform scale of prices
based on labor and material costs.
Scientific tire repair now offers
the motorist who conscientiously or
has abused his
tires and accordingly cannot return
them for replacement. an oppor.

at low cost.
