MOTOR FEARS

There are several distinct
kinds of motor fear and have
had them. ALL" says a writer In
Motor. First, of course, there
is pure physical terror-fear
of an accident. Much more
insidious, however, and much
more wearing, are the subtler
forms of motor fear-constant
fear Of engine trouble, fear of
pcnctures and bloWouts, fear
OF crowded roads and that
partly imaginary, crablike
crawling which the rear end of
the car seems to take on such
highways. Then there are
also fear of theft, fear Of
freezing, fear Of exhausted bat
teries, fear Of every new sound
and smell which arises from
an active engine, fear Of mud
and sand, fear Of driving in
traffic, and especially fear of
strange, unknown regulations
in new States and cities.
There may be. other forms
OF this horrible disease, and If
1 have not mentioned them it
is merely because I have for
gotten them. Oh, yes, there is
one very common form Of
motor fear from which I am
entirely free-fear of spelling
the paint on my car. Take
one look at my car itself and
you would understand why"

WORLD SERIES
MECCA FOR
MOTORISTS
eR. II. Harper, Durant and Star
Dealer, Says Games Drew
From Many States.

''One of. the unusual sights Of the
recent world baseball series between
the two New York clubs, the Yam
KEGS, Of the American League, and
the Giants. Of the National League,
was the enormous number Of cars
parked within walking distance Of
the diamonds says r. II. Harper,
local Durant and Star distributor.
Each day before the games be-
gan thousands of cars from many
States We're parked near the Polo
Grounds or the Yankee stadium, in
which the games were alternately
played.
There were. big cars AMI little
cars, new cars and old, but nowhere
was a horse visible. a few of the
old-timers recalled when tied to the
efence OF the Polo Grounds during
the series were hundreds of horses
with, all sorts of wagons, carriages
and buggies. Those days have gone,
never to return. The speeding up Of
transportation has been balanced Ey
the speeding up Of baseball.
How to find ones own car among
thousands might at first seem prop
lem. but parking regulations and
the care of the traffic police squad
gimplified matters to great degree.
Among the first cars from distant
points was one from Texas, driven
by a man who made the transconti-
mental trip for the express purpose
Of seeing the two major league cham
pions compete. Tourists who ex-
tended their Eastern visits longer
than usual to take in the world Sc
ries are now hurrying on their way,
anxious to beat Jack Frost to their
destinations"

AUTO TIPS

A clogged radiator will have the
same effect as a clogged jacket.
Brakes in poor shape can usually
be told by squeaks and a loose feel
ing.
Slipping of the clutch which runs
in oil may be overcome by adding
kerosene.
A new fan belt should be given
good stretching before it is put
into place.
The universals should be packed
about every thousand miles with
good grade of grease.
Improper fabrication of the
spring shackles and bolts will re-
suit in distressing squeaks and
rattles.
When the valves do not function
properly, there In q considerable
falling off Of power developed by
the engine.
Corroded distributor points will
cause trouble In starting the engine,
and they should be cleaned at
various intervals.
With too lean a mixture for the
load an engine must labor, thus re-
sulting in knocking Of the weakest
and loosest parts.
When making e. sudden turn to
avoid biting something, always ap'
ply the brake. Stopping and steer
ing combined will produce best
results.
Never allow the engine to run
for any length of time with the
spark retarded. Such practice will
overhead the motor, and cause
rapid carbonization.

demand for Cars in Germany,

Despite the cry Of general poverty
in Germany, an automobile show
was recently held in Berlin with TOO
exhibitors. Sales Of cars this year
broke all records, and because of
advance orders, factories are unable
to deliver cars in less than two or
three months
The Washington times., 1923-10-24
Engine Intelligence.

An operator of an automobile
should know when the engine is per
fectly balanced for all speeds. A
change in speed will break up the
combination Of vibrations, stop the
pounding, shaking, or rafting, and
prevent excessive wear on the work
ing parts.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24
Fresh Lubricant for Gears.

Regardless of whether oil or
grease is used TO lubricate the gears,
the housing should be washed ont
with kerosene at regular intervals
and the housing replenished with a
supply Of fresh lubricant.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24
Headlights Correctly Focused

To focus lamps properly, move
the lamp bulb forward or backward
until the most intense light is re.
Elected. This is accomplished by
turning the adjusting screw in the
back of the lamp to the left to
move the bulb out, and to the
right to move the bulb in.
The Washington times., 1923-10-24
Proper Application of Baskets.

Cylinder-head gaskets should al.
ways be sealed with an application
Of sheIlac to both surfaces. It is
best applied by dabbing both sur.
faces of the gasket with the tip Of
q brush, rather than painting it on.

Adjusting Car for Cold Weather

ADJUST cafDuretOr.
Change the oil every $50 miles.
Increase the charging rate of the
generator.
Inspect brakes and keep them
properly adjusted.
Put alcohol in the radiator at
the first sign of freezing.
Thin out the Oil in the rear axle
and transmission by adding cylin
der oil.

An Emergency Radiator Repair.

Leaks in the solder seams of
honeycomb radiators may be re-
paired in emergencies by inserting
Q long stove bo!t through the air
spaces. placing rubber and steel
washers on the bolts and then draw
ing up gently on the nuts.

Dangers of Excessive Printing.

Care should be taken when prim-
ing the motor-an excess quantity
Of gasoline may be sucked into the
cylinders, and will in time thin out
the motor oil.

began to flutter. In another second,
they were up, and the blind mans
eyeballs were visible.
Realizing that he could again see,
the man threw his arms around his
saviour's neck and said:

friend, how will l ever be able to

The graterur man kissed the sleeve

silently departed. Turning to Old ST

Five thousand dollars" answered
Mr.. Skiffington.
Old Simon baked at the amount re-

nose. Then he began to rub his bald =
pate and whistle an ancient waltz.
Then he became strangely silent, d
merry twinkle in his crafty eyes.

After hemming and having for a
few minutes Mr.. Skffington decided
to accept Old Simons offer.

written he tore the check out of the

Mr.. Skiffington grabbed a small
scratch pad and an indelble pencil
from the desk and hurriedly began
to scribble some thing about nitro
glycerine, ipecac and disulphate. Then
he tore off what he had written and
handed it to Old Simon.

he gave the check to the miracle

profusely, bowed bow worthy of
Chesterfield, opened the door, closed

Old Simon then returned the check

Mr.. Skiffington nodded.
