A VACATION LITANY
II

A VACATION LITANY
(The Feminine View)
From places which are miles
From anywhere at all,
Where there aren't any styles
And no one comes to call;
From shacks far, far too small
And hunks devoid of ease.
From all the "wildwood's thrall"
Good Lord, excuse US please!
From tramping over bogs
Before the dawn is gray;
From choruscs of frogs,
And katydids at play;
From hearing, night and day,
Those endless histories
OF fish that got away,
Good Lord, excuse US please.
Ffom camping stoves that smoke
And make us wipe our eyes,
From monographs which croak
Old records we despise;
From whiskers which disguise
Mems physiognomies,
Yet which they seem to prize.
Good Lord, excuse US please!
From food forever fried,
From ants, mosquitoes, fIeas,
From spots men view with pride,
Good Lord, excuse us pleaset

SHARP CORNERS RUIN TIRES
Experts Claim 1t Takes OF Tread as
In skiddinq-lt Weakens Side
Wall Fabric.

Taking sharp corner without slack
ening speed means poor service from
tires. Although everyone knows that
1t is inviting accident, there are still
many who will take sharp curve
without taking their foot off the &C
celerator. The practice Is responsible
for as many collisions as any other
one thing.
But even where nothing happens to
car or driver, there is something hap
pening to the tire. The tendency of
the car to sway to the side as it takes
a corner puts severe strain on the
casing. Tire men claim to some ex-
tent 1t takes of the tread as in skid
ding. More serious is Its effect on the
fabric. 1t weakens the side wall fab
ric, and brings nearer the day when
the tire must be discarded.
They say there are drivers who will
listen to something about their pocket
when they are deaf to advice on living
a longer life. This class should think
about their tires when they are ap-
preaching the sharp corner and the
dangerous curve.

ESSENTIAL TOOL
KIT FOR ANY CAR
There Are Many Little Accesso-
ries That Are Both Important
and Necessary.

(By ERWIN GREER President Greer Col
leKe OF Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
When it comes to tools one may bet
ter have too many than too few. Tools
are easily misplaced or lost and it is
Of vital Importance to see to it that
the tool kit is we'll supplied before
starting on the tour
1t is surprising how few motorists
check over the tool kit before starting
on their trip.
During recent rambles over the coun-
try encountered many disciples of the
"Will- Y You-L Lend-Me" club. On one oc
caslon | met a fellow from n nearby
state who was starting on tour Of
the west. His car had stopped for
some reason unknown to him and he
asked assistance.
He Had No Tools.
I soon traced the trouble to the gas
line and asked him for wrench with
which to remove the coupling. He said
he had no wrenches. but he thought he
had pair of pliers some place in the
car. These he brought forth after
diligently searching under both front
and back seats. They were Of the side
cutting variety, with the jaws both
broken. l soon remedied the trouble
with equipment from my own tool box
and advised my less fortunate friend
to drop into an automobile accessory
store and provide himself with a set
of tools.
Many Little Tools Needed.
Aside from these special tools there
are many little accessories to the tool
box that are both important and neces-
sary. tow rope. extra light bulbs.
tire repair outfit. jack and pump, ig-
milton wrenches, socket wrench set.
iron wire tape-many are the additions
that prove a life-saver when the car
gives trouble. Boxes of assorted pins.
bolts and nuts and washers, should be
included when the list is made.

In engines not fitted with speciai
valve stem guide bushings excessive
wear of the guide and consequently
valve stem side play and old leakage
may be prevented by roaming the
guide and fitting bronze bushing.
In case rivet in the frame or 9TH
er location Is found to be broken, a
very acceptable repair may be made
by running a bolt through the rivet
hole and clinching it with a nut ON
the other end.
When 1t is necessary to prime the
engine on the road and no other
means is at hand, a valve cap tied to
a bit Of string and lowered into the
gasoline tank will bring up enough
gasoline to prime one cylinder.
The proper tool to use In cutting
out rivets that hold together thin
metal parts is sharp chisel. The
head of the rivet should be hacked
up with a weight of some kind so as
to prevent tearing of the adjacent
metal. 4rs
