REMOVING CRANKSHAFT
E N D P L A Y

End play in the crankshaft of an
automobile produces a peculiar sort
of knock which is very annoying,
not TO mention the wear caused by
the continued hammering. Bucking
and uneven running may also be at
tributed TO this cause. On the Ford,
This condition also causes hard start
ing due to the increased distance
between the magnets Of the mag
netO. Lights which receive their
power from the magnetic viii also bc
affected, varying in intensity as the
armature Of the magnetic changes itt
position. The remedy usually APP
piled is to replace one of the main
bearing caps which takes up the
lost motion. \ less expensive, and
equally effective repair may be
made by using "A special SHIN. The
ends which are bent over take up
the play between the webs Of the
crankshaft. 1t is a good plan TO file
an extra amount of metal from the
bearing cap, So that the usual thick
ness of shims may be used III addi-
tion to The special SHIN. Then,
when il becomes necessary TO take
up on the bearings, the special SHIN
need not be disturbed.

Boat Beats It

NOME, Alaska, July 2S.-Coastal
trading along tine shores of Siberia
is interesting if somewhat uncer-
tain, according TO members of the
trading schooner Iskum of Tacoma,
Washington, which has arrived here
from Anadir, Siberia, after "es-
Gaping" from a soviet guard placed
aboard the ship.
The master of the vessel said he
heard that the soviet was aboard
te commander his vessel to trans
port troops to capture members of
"white' forces a. Kolyma, thus
endangering his vessel and the lives
of his crew.
He and his men overpowered the
two boyish cred" guards and
placed them in irons. Then the
Iskum blithely departed from those
parts.
The crew reported that al YES

ing business aiOng the coast OF
Siberia must submit to being under
a "red' guard. The revenue cut

ALIGNING WIRE WHEELS

TO true wire wheels, always true
the diameter first; this is CON
trollcd by the center and back
spokcs: at the same time bring up
the tension of the front spokcs, or
thcv will loosen up while you arc
working on the center and back
spokes. The front spokcs control
the side of the rim as well as the
position of the hub she'll from the
back of the rim and can be used
20 bring the hub shell down to
proper position. The front spokes
should be as tight as the center and
the back spokes. If they are tight
or they will throw the wheel out
and have a tendency to spring the
she'll out Of true. DO not put too
much tension on the spokes until the
wheel is true.
Should the spokos in a wheel to

ON each spoke by the nipple and also
On the head Of the nipple where 1t

Autos Must Be
Registered At
Mexican Border

Every motor car which. crosses i'll
to Nogales will, in future, be re-
quired to register, according to adj
vice just issued by the Automobile
Club of Southern California.
The United States customs house
at the Mexican border has just put
into effect a car registration sys-
TEN, whereby no automobile can
cross the line without first regis
tering, the certificate of rcgistra-
ton being good for so days, sub
iect to renewal.
This does not mean, according to
the Auto club, that auto tourists
making the trip into Mexico and
being gone longer than 30 days
will experience difficulty in getting
back into the United States. This
is . precautionary measure taken
against auto thieves who have been
driving stolen cars into Mexico.
1t is important. that all automo
bile owners visiting Mexican terri
tory carry with them their license
certificates as evidence of owner

CLUB MEN RAP

MANUFACTURER
National Vigilance Com
mittee Takes Stand
On Abuses

The national vigilance commit
tee of the Associated Advertising
clubs of the world has finally taken
a definite stand in regard to abuses
in the battery and automotive clec-
trical field which are undermining
public confidence i'll the industry.
The committee has found that
certain practices, not only mislead-
ing and deceptive, but in numerous
instances partaking of fraud, are
not sporadic, but are quite general
in many localities, and that prompt
steps in prevention must be taken
unless they are to become the gen
cral rules.
Mr.. Kendall, local Willard dealer
is authority for the statement that
the national vigilance committee
proposes to direct its attention to
these abusive practices, in order
that the public may be protected
and given a dependable guide, and
that legitimate concerns be provid-
ed with a standard on which better
business methods may be pcrman-
emily built.
Guarantee Abused
"No phase of battery advertising
has been more abused than the
guarantee clause or certificate, y
states the report of the committee.
Irrespective purchasers are told
by one manufacturer that its bat
tcries are Internationally guaran-
teed for a year. The next says
'unconditionally guaranteed for
two years. and so on; one outding
the other until three, four and five
year limits are reached, and the
time guarantee becomes preposter-
Gus. incapable of fulfillment, and of
no advertising value to the reput-
able manufacturer who may care to
use a guarantee.
"In addition to these there are
the guarantees made for second
hand or so called rebuilt or re
constructed batteries, which are
being offered and sold to motorists
with the guarantee of the rebuildcr
When trouble comes the user often
learns to his sorrow that he has sim
ply purchased a guarantee and
not battery.
Warns Against Filters
The committee further states that
the motoring public is being impos
ed upon from time to time by un
scrupulous concerns who offer a
remedy for all battery troubles
through the medium of pastes, fill
crs, solutions and other compounds
to take the place of regular electro
lytes.
"Tests of several of these dope
solutions, indicate that while appar
emily they give battery greater
momentarv kick, they often con
tain ingredients which are absolute
! ly ruinius to the plates and scpara
tors, thereby shortening the life OF
the battery from so to IS pei

How to Care for
Disk Universal

Systematic inspection should be
made of the universal joint at reg,
ular intervals, and if the housing
is distorted or loose, or the shaft
out of alignment, grease plugs or
bolts loose or missing, lubricant
packing worn, yokes or spline shaft
damaged, or any other deviation
from its normal condition, then the
same should be corrected at once,
This unit is a highly perfected
piece of mechanism, and if givcr
proper attention, will render eff.
cient service, even if it does OPP
crate under adverse conditions.
In the fabric type, fabrication is
not required, the only attention
necessary being to see that the
bolts attaching the discs to the
spiders are kept tight. After a few
hundred miles of service, it is adj
visablc to 90 over the bolts, remov-
ing the cotter pins and pulling up
on each nut if there is the slightest
sign of looscncss. Generally no fur.
ther attention is required, but it is
well to examine the bolts every five
thousand miles to see that they are
still tight. If, during the inspec-
tion, discs are discovered which arc
charrcd, split, worn or stretched eX'
cessively they should be replaced.

= Owners;
To yHS1SI4lBbrate For
Presidents Visit

Every automobile owner in the
southern part of California will
have an opportunity to do his or
her share in welcoming President
Harding and General Pershing il
this part of the state.
1t is urgently suggested by Off
cials of the Automobile Club of
Southern California to the motoring
public, as well as to member5 of the
organization, that motorists decor
ate their ears with American flags
August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
The president s official schedule
includes motor trips to many parts
of the southern counties, and it will
be an unusual greeting for him to
find all automobiles well covered
with flags, points out the club. And
in view of the fact that all resi-
dcnccs and business houses will be
decorated, it is urged that the mot
orists ,do their share in making their
ears noticeable at this time.

down off the Mountain Springs
grade into the great Imperial Val
lev, where at Ell Centre, 40 feet be-
low sea level was reached and the
thermometer registered 112 degrees.
"To meet these variations in at
mospheric and climatic conditions
a motor ear must function properly
if it is 70 make any kind of a show
ing, and the performance of the
Oakland is Il remarkable tribute to
the stamina and mechanical perfec-
tion of the car. Only one pint of
water was used ON this hot run. This
in itself is proof of the cooling eff
ficiencv of the car, and the score
of no oil being consumed vouches
for the soundness of the Oakland
guarantee of $4,000 miles against
oil pumping.
