Mr.. Mosher has had unusual sue

the tire game than to anything else.

been established at $50 North VOL

MOTOR BUYERS
IN j. s. STILL
SAID
Point Of "Saturation''
Still Far Distant, Says
Association.

That the country may become
p~saturated'' with automobiles. after
which buying will be restricted to
q predictable amount based on cars
wearing out and the increase Of pop
uiation. has been a bugbear to
nlarmists in the trade for several
PEARS.
Statistics do not bear out these
fears. According to the American
Automobile Association, in all but
nine States. material increases were
shown in number of motor vehicles
registered during the six months
period of 1898 over the entire years
registration of 1922. with six
months yet to go. the record of
1873 in all States will exceed thst
of 1882.
y The state of Ohio climbed up to
eecond place IN total number of
motor vehicles registered. changing
places with California. New York
again leads, with a total registrs-
tion during the six months period
OF 1,025,71s motor vehicles. Ohio
Is second with 965 900, and Callfor-
mia third with ess,sos. Pennsyl-
Vania is fourth with e22 .o62; Illinois
fifth with $500; Michigan sixth.
with 624.5so. and Texas seventh
with Ell 1881. The total number
of motor vehicles registered in all
of the States during the six months
period was 1s,oo2.427, as against
~. 9 .975 for the entire year OF 1892.
This shows n healthy growth
which is always an indication of
demand far beyond that OF satura-
ton. But. the real reason for think
ing that the s~aturation point is In
finitely distant is found in the roads
OF the United States. With a total
road mileage of 2.s1s.ss of which
only $50, 900 miles are improved,
what will the demand be when ever

for storing tubes and with the add
ton of a few parts n press can be
made for adhesive patches, These
consist OF n flat cross bar. two wing
nuts and bolts. The bolts arc at
tached TO the cover and the cross
bar is drilled to pass over tho bolt
ends so that pressure can be applied

L%ubricating Springs.

Because spring leaves slide on
each other. they squeak and bring
about undue wear IL not properly
fabricated. At regular intervals.
the sides of the leaves should be
painted with a stiff brush Inc cylin-
der OIL. After applying the oil. the
car should not be washed until 1t
has run some distance, to allow the
lubricant TO work between the
leaves. Try painting the outer sur
faces OF your spring leaves with
rust preventive-it has its effect.

REMOVING TIGHT ALE BOLTS.

Bolts which are located on the
under side of the car. such as on the
steering knuckles, pivot pins. ETC..
in an exposed position are ONE
times difficult to remove. having
become rusted in place. The prob
lem OF removing such bolts becomes
greatly lessened when It is remem
bered that the weight of the a
may be utilized to aid in their re-
moyal. A jack is screwed up di-
rectly under the stubborn bolt. lift
ing the al n few inches from the
floor. Tapping lightly with a ham
mer On the part which carries the
bolt will usually cause 1t to be
pushed out. The advantage of this
method is that no hammering is
done on the bolt. therefore. the
threads on the end will not be shat
tered.

Clutch Troubles.

Clutch Troubles
A dragging clutch may be caused
by too close an adjustment or by
lack of fabrication of the thrust
bearing. The thrust bearing at the
rear OF the clutch shaft and the
throwout collar bearing should be
kept well fabricated. II these bear
ings become worm ~appreciably, the
clutch Will not operate satisfac-
torily.
II the clutch collar does not seem
to be worn excessively and the
clutch still fails TO properly free
itself; IT may be that the full throw
of the pedal does not allow n com
plete release of all the plates. A
washer inserted on each driving
stud will usually overcome the
trouble. The pedal should o. be
permitted to touch the floor boards,
or slippage, due to the clutch not
engaging fully. may occur.

As improper meshlng of the tim.
Ing gears will cause improper timing
Of the valves. the application of the
following rule will readily indicate
whether they are at fault: II the
valve opens late and closes early.
the clearance is too great: II the
valve opens early and closes early.

timing gears are incorrectly meshed.

Ono Cause of a smoky Exhaust

Why does a car that has been run
ming idle at the curb often give off
n cloud Of smoke while going the
1rst few blocks and then show no
further sign of 1t? Simply this-all
the time the engine was running
idle, oil was passing into the cylin-
ders but it was not being burned up
because there was too little fuel be-
ing used to consume it. When the
throttle was opened the hot flame
generated had an excess Of oil TO get
rid Of. Tho result-smoke. Just like
coal on q fresh hre-but when the
xcess oil vas consumed the flame
burned cleanly the slight amount

FILE LUBRICANT.

All files. when they leave the fac

vent them from rusting. OIL on the

be used under certain conditions.

shop. In filing It is well to assure
yourself hat all grease has been re-
