MOTOR CAR PRICES TO
 BE STABILIZED

The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce issues the following inn portant information on prices taken from the Guaranty Survey, published monthly by the Guaranty Trust com pany of New York:
 Approximate stabilization of au- tomobile prices is believed in the in- dustry to have been definitely reach ed. The average price of 49 of the principal standard touring car models is now 22 per cent below the average price on September 1, 1920, but the price of the greater quantity of cars sold represents a much greater reduc- tion, some as much as 42h per cent, This reduction has been brought by d series of price cuts spread over more than year, so that we now stand at what appears to be the end of the period of price revision rather than at the beginning. In view of known im-
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-05-12

provements and refinements in the product, no comparison of present prices with those of 1913 is possible or significant.
 '"This conclusion in regard to sta bilization is based not only upon the amount of the average price reduc- tion that has taken place, but also upon the progressively smaller price cuts made recently by leading manu- lecturers. Furthermore, at least. six manufacturers have raised their prices since the first of the year, and there is justification for the belief in an apparent stabilization of the costs of the chief materials entering into motor car manufacture. Many people believe that the prices of raw materials entering into the manufac- ture of automobiles have reached bot tom. In the case of some of these ma terials a renewal of the upward price tend has been manifested. The aver age price of metals and metal pro ducts is now nearer the 1913 level than that of any of the nine groups, ex- cept farm products, for which the bu- reau of labor statistics complies price data. It appears, therefore, improb- able that automobile production costs can go materially lower for some time.

MUST ADJUST
 WHEEL BEARINGS

Whenever a wheel fitted with cup and cone bearing is removed, the cup of the bearing is removed with it and the bearing must be adjusted in re- placing the wheel. The proper way to do this is to turn the bearing up tight and then revolve the wheel few times by hand. This does away with any tendency to backlash. Next the adjusting nut is backed off very slightly, so that by grasping two spokes in line, one above and the other below, a slight play is noted.

BEST WAY TO START
 CAR ON A GRADE

A simple method of starting from a standstill on a hill is to release the clutch, place the gear in first speed and, holding the car with the hand brake, engage the clutch while the engine is accelerated with the foot throttle, gradually releasing the hand brake. If there are two or more passengers one can get out and place large stone back of the rear wheel, which will hold the vehicle, and the car can then be started as easily as when it is taken from the garage.
