RETARDED SPARK is
INJURIOUS TO AUTO
0verheateu Condition Harmful to
Pistons, Cylinders and Other
Parts of Engine.
CBy william II. Stewart, Jr., President
SteMnrt A-ntnmnhiIe nhnnl -

(By William II. Stewart, Jr., President
Stewart Automobile School.)
You have all seen the fellow who
runs his 'steaming," clanking car
around town. 1t looks for all the world
like a baby locomotive, but perhaps he
does not know that this overheated
condition Injuries the pistons, cylin-
ders, bearings and all internal parts
of the engine. Shortly he learns this
for hlmself-after he has paid a big
repair bill for information that could
have been obtained from any instruc-
ton book.
If you run the car with the spark
retarded, the engine will overhead and
c%arbonize. A similar effect is caused
by a crippled fan or an impeded water
flow. If your engine overheats It is
advisable to stop instantly and find the
trouble. In an emergency a very wise
thing to do is to pour an abundance
of oil into the crank case. Your ex-
haust will smoke, but the additional
oil will offer protection to the inside of
the engine until relief is at hand.
Clean the belt occasionally and rid
1t of the oil and gummy matter. Hitch
up your garden hose and send Its spray
through the openings in the radiator,
which probably is clogged with mud.
Do this from the engine side of the
radiator; otherwise you may short cir
cult the electric system. AS a further
precaution see that all hose connec
lions are good and not partially closed
on the inside, thereby retarding the
water fow. This closing, though very
slight, viii retard radiation and cause
trouble.

GREASE RUSTY CAR SPRINGS
Jack Up Chassis and Apply Lubricant
While Weight is of-kerosene
Cuts Rust.

Positive fabrication of springs may
be secured without the purchase Of ad-
ditional accessories-jack up the
chassis and apply lubricant while the
springs are thus relieved of their
weight. In this condition the spring
leaves should open slightly in a fan
shape. 1t may be necessary to spread
the leaves a trife with a screwdriver.
knife, or any thin strip of metal. A few
minutes work with a squirt gun, filled
with half kerosene and motor oil, will
cut the rust and leave a film OF lubri-
cam between the leaves.
Sometimes a spring is rusted to the
extent that 1t becomes "frozen" In a
rigid mass. The only remedy is to take
It apart, wash each leaf with kerosene
and replace. inserting n heavy piece of
wrapping paper thoroughly saturated
with n good grade Of graphite grease
between each leaf.

CRIME ON MOTOR
CAUSE OF DECAY
Greasy Accommodations Injurious
to Various Connections and
Also to Insulation.

The motorcar's spring cleaning
should not stop with the body, top and
cushions. An engine and chassis COW
cred with grease and dirt Is a costly
encouragement to delaying simple adj
justments which will save money IL
repairs.
Clean the engine, springs, transmits
sion housing and other parts which ac-
cumulate sticky CRIME with kerosene,
to which some gasoline may be added.
Use a wooden backed s%crubbing brush
with no metal on 1t. Metal may touch
electric terminals and cause a spark
which will start a fire. A much bet
ter job will result If the drip pan is
removed while the engine is cleaned.
Cleaning Saves the Engine.
In addition % looking better and be-
ing easier to repair. a clean engines
hose connections, electric insulation
and gaskets will not deteriorate nearly
sc quickly.
With the springs cleaned, oiling sug-
gests itself. Be sure the grease cups
on the springs are full n screwed
down so there will be pressure. That
is not enough to save a rusted spring,
however. Jack up the chassis and APP
ply lubricant with a paint brush or a
squirtgun.
If the leaves of springs are rusted
together, they usually may be pried
apart with a screwdrIver while the car
is lacked up. Repair men diagnose as

Take EaIky Spring Apart.
II the spring still balks. the best
way is to remove 1t, take 1t apart,
clean the leaves with kerosene, lubri-
cate them with graphite and grease
and reassemble them.
Spring covers of leather and metal.
oil retaining cups and high pressure
lubricating systems are among recent
improvements which simplify care of
springs. The various covers keep out
dirt and keep in lubricants so that
springs rarely need attention. High
pressure devices range In design from
those In which a screw pressure exerts
terrific force to n handy affair like a
pistol which Shoots grease when the
trigger is pulled.
