made 1t point to do my own re-
pairs and make 1t a point to time
myself on various operations. Just
lately 1 spent eighteen solid hours
putting new valve-lifter guides into
my engine. The man who has not
tried this job would wonder how on
earth SO much time can be killed on
such simple Job. But this is what
has to be done:
ID Drain water and oil.
(2) Remove radiator and fan.
t3) Loosen engine anchor bolts.
tD Jack up front end of engine.
go Remove crank case and timing
gear cover.
t6) Pull of timing gears.
90 Remove camshaft bearing set
removing cylinder head to release
pressure on springs. After doing
this we decided that to remove the
guides the generator and distributor
would have to come off. This meant
the engine was nearly stripped. To
drive out the old guides and drive in
the new was the work Of less than
half an hour. Then there were sew
en- solid hours before the machine
was ready to go. The average ga

being "fussy" with his car.
Occasionally we come across a nov

taken the unfortunate step of re-
moving the distributor and timing
gears without taking note as to how
they were connected. Unless these
parts are put together correctly the
engine will. of course, not function.

Adjust Your Carburetor.
One gas-engine authority recently
made the statement that thirty per
cent of all the gasoline burned in the
world was wasted through poor car
buretor adjustment. The experience
of the average garageman Is such as
cylinder ends and valves. overheat-
ing and the black vile-smelling
smoke which comes from a great

average man does not know his car
bufetor.
Most carburetors are fool proof in
that they have only one adjustment,
the gasoline needle valve. A great
many drivers, however, do not know
where to find 1t, and some who know
where and what 1t Is are afraid to
touch it because some one warned them
against turning 1t. Every car owner
should make 1t his business to know
how his carburetor Is adjusted, and
should always try to cut the mixture
down to the minimum by occasional
slight adjustments Of the needle valve.
Turning 1t in a clockwise direction as
you look at it takes off the gasoline and
turning il in the opposite direction
puts more gas on. When making a
change do IL gradually and don't do
1t when your car Is cold. Wait till
the engine is warm; when out on a
drive pull up by the roadside and
take off a little gas then go on. If
as good as ever you have done it

gas. But you may not have reache d

bit more fuel 1t Is then that you
have the most economical adjustment
possible. Not only does rich mix

engine run sluggishly and it has not
nearly its maximum amount of
power when the mixture is too rich.

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

This Is the season of the year when
the motorists fancy turns more or
less lightly to closed cars. But when
he arrives at the point Of buying he
finds himself faced with ffty-seven
varieties, so it behooves him to tch
his step and choose wisely.
There are the business coupes for
those who literally do business on
wheels. Then there are the sedans
for those who use their cars for GO
Ing to and from business, with the
possibility of turning the car over
TO an employe during the day for
delivery or the dispatching of mer-
chandise to occupy the space af-
forded by the removal of the tonneau
seat cushion. And there are the
touring sedans for those who plan
on car to serve them on the broad
highway as we'll as the city streets
:, in bad weather
1t is dangerous to speak of the
closed car as a sort of fixed type of
vehicle. There are so many varieties
for so many different uses that the
1notorist sacrifices many advantages
II he falls to select caCefG'y. He
should analyZe his needs with the
idea of determining in advance Just
which type of closed car will suit
him best.
Sorne Points to Consider.
Statesmen frequently mistake the
car shoppers needs. so that he is
often innocently encouraged to buy
the type OF car least suited to his
needs. This can be avoided by going
over the following points before con-
sidertng matters of make. appear
which must be looked into before q
dnal decision is made:
How much seating capacity is
The average family should figure on
at least one. and sometimes two. extra
seats. While these extra seats may
not be used most of the time. there
may come time when it will be
hoth embarrassing and expensive not
70 have them. 1t may mean hiring a
De more appropriate, convenient and
economical
The travelling man may feel that
accommodations for one passenger
will suffice, but he should figure on
the possibility of extending trans
portation hospitality to two clients
at the same tine. 1t may be his
means OF landing an order II his car
looks inviting to those who are ac-
customed to riding in large, roomy
machines.
Choosing the Proper Car.
Usually a coupe with a folding
seat, or brougham, will answer
this purpose. In other instances a
larger type of car may be advisable.
And IL the travelling man knows in
advance that he has no occasion ever
to carry more than one passenger the
two passenger coune with a roomy
seat would be the proper choice.
The matter of color Is also i'm
portant. Thousands of people turn
down the more attractive hues in
favor of stock blue or black, believ-
ing that the darker colors are more
not the case, however. Closed cars,
all types, are now used extensively
for travelling, and the lighter colors
have demonstrated their value in

Did You Know

That because the braking area is
doubled in the case of four-wheel
brakes the prompt deceleration Of a
car when the brakes are applied dis
courages the natural tendency to lock
the wheels? Even IL the wheels are
locked by accident under the newer
arrangement for brakes there are
four points OF tire-road contact, and
therefore just twice as much decel-
Grafton as when but two wheels are
locked.
That in shifting gears one is likely
to fail to completely mesh the gears
The car will seem to run we'll enough,
but IL two gears are only half meshed
their teeth are unnecessarily strained.
The half mesh" Is likely to occur in
speeds where the gear shift lever is
pushed forward, since the driver is
not likely to push the lever ahead as
strenuously as ne will pull 1t back.
When the gears are only half meshed
push out the clutch for an instant and
then push the shift lever all the way
forward.

= Did You Know

That sliding the wheels is the most
effective way of stopping quickly ?
wheels are locked when a machine is
travelling fast the tires slide freely and
the car loses very little momentum In
the first few seconds, which are of
utmost Importance. The driver who
can apply q force on the brake bands
just short of the maximum required
for locking the wheels is certain to
have 100 per cent better results.
When the wheels are locked the only
braking surface is the contact OF q
small portion of the rubber tires of
the two rear wheels with the road
way. When the wheels are not
locked the braking is done at the
brake bands, where 1t should be.

Observations,

Success in, motoring Is the ability
to keep working for the improvement
of the car and your skill in operating
it. The proof of this pudding Is In
merely tasting 1t.
Somebody must have reminded the
refiners that whatever goes up is
sure to come down. The price Of gas
is proving the rule nicely.
There's no place like home-unless
you've got a new car, q fat purse
and an alluring road map.
It's a useless wheel that has no
turning.
If they'd only officially shorten the
length of the statute mile many an
automobile salesman could go about
with an easier conscience.
