Lest Thew Escape

Lest They Escape
Any careful driver will find
at least a half dozen drivers
during the course of an aft
ernoon's spin who ought to be re-
ported to the authorities. The police
are seldom in sight when the fragrant
violations occur; and the violator
does as he pleases most of the time,
safe in the belief that while other
motorists will swear vengeance on
him they will not report him.
This is an unfortunate state of af-
fairs. The motorist who feels that he
has a duty to perform in clearing the
streets of automobile law breakers
makes a note of a violator's license
number; but coming to think of the
inconvenience he will be put to in
testifyng against the violator decides
to let the matter drop.
... 1t simply means that the law
breaker is not discovered officially
until he has caused some serious
"a or, perhaps,-fatal accident. Most
licenses are revoked after the dam
age is done.
This is all the more reason why the
country would profit by system
whereby all motorists would be Tree
to report any act of deliberate viola
ton without being obliged to appear
against the law breaker and be I'M

The Old Mechanic Says:


"Lubrication is tricky. A little oil
or grease will seem to do the work of
a lot of it, and there's the rub. The
car owner who isn't on his guard is
bound to get caught with some i'm
portant part of the car starvin' for
fabrication.
Another trouble is that while the
various parts of the car may seem to
work we'll enough even when they are
just on the point of usin' up the last
few bits of lubricant they are suffer-
in. And, what's more, they're in an
unhealthy condition to stand the
strain of operatin' without any grease
at all.
Il find this quite often in the case
of universal joints. Here is part OF
the car that will work faithfully right
up to the point where it is bone dry
of grease and then suddenly give
trouble. While it may be deliverln'
the goods even when there is just a
thin spread of grease around 1t, heat
from friction is begfnnin' to prepare
it for damage. AS soon as the grease
is entirely used up the joint will sud
denly heat to a maximum. screen
and. if not caught in time, break.
"Greasin' is one of the things that
have no safety valve. When the
warnin' is given the damage is partly
done. \ record of when parts are
creased. with frequent inspection or
the parts to be sure that the records
are correct, is the only answer"
