Doing the yob Right.

II the carbon is to be burned out of
the cylinders by means Of an oxygen
torch be sure that the mechanic
knows his business. Unless he makes
sure that the valves of the respective
cylinders are fully closed before
lighting the oxygen in the cylinder,
he does not know his business. and
should be cautioned against the fire
hazard OF this sort Of work. The
practice is to insert the nozzle of
the oxygen burner through the spark
plug opening and allow a little
Then a match is lighted and care
fully tossed in. This ignites the
oxygen so that when the nozzle is
again inserted and the oxygen lib
Grated it will burn steadily. 1t is
evident that unless the mechanic
first makes sure that the valves Of
the respective cylinders are fully
closed the burning oxygen will escape
either through the exhaust or the
intake. In the latter event there
would be danger of fire in tho car
buretor with it's attendant hazards.
To tell when the valves of a
cylinder are shut, test for the com
preston stroke OF the particular
cylinder by holding your thumb over
the opened petcock of the same cyIin-
der with spark. plug Inserted. Have
some one slowly turn over the en-
gine by hand (with ignition always
off). The excessive pressure on your
thumb will tell you when the COM
preston has commenced. This is the
position of the engine at which the
valves of the particular cylinder are
closed.

The duIIest drivers usually have

Enter the Safety Con.

BY degrees, IL Is becoming evident

duty it would be to safeguard auto

annoying but harmless knots Of traf-
nc.

Of most cities are at present without
potlce protection, a situation that is
said TO be costing motordom a heavy
Toll OF lives and property damage.
The tendency seems to be to place
omcers wherever there are mechani-
cal problems of traffic to be solved.
meanwhile Deglecting those points
where safety problems are being
~ackled constantly and handled un-
successfully.
But experience shows that few
motor car accidents ever occur at con-
Eested points, regardless OF whether
these points are guarded or ungaard-
cd. The average driver is a little
afraid OF congestion, but put him on
a street where there is no immediate
evidence OF danger and he becomes
fearless TO the point of being care
less.
It would be very great service to
notordom if the dangerous points in
the city driving could be guarded by
safety officers whose duty would be TO
oversee traffic at these points and re-
mind drivers that danger is usually to
be found where 1t is least expected.
Many a blind alley could we'll be
guarded to great advantage, while a
little police protection at those
quiet dangerous points would fire.

OWNING TWO AUTOS
CALLED WISE POLICY
Business Man Thus Able to Let
Family Enjoy Driving With
out Using His Car.

''rhe practicabiiity of operating two
cars in the medium price class has
been thoroughly demonstrated" says
Fred T.. Wilson. vice president and
director OF sales and advertising of
the Columbia Motors Company. ITO
a greater extent each year we have
found this idea taking hold with the
motoring public"
That this idea is to enjoy even
greater popularity during coming
years is evidenced by the fact that
most of the residences now being
erected are provided with two-car
garages, even in neighborhoods where
there seems no chance of renting
space In the untitled garage. This
clearly indicated that home builders
are thinking OF the time when they
will need the extra garage space for
a second car.
ut is perfectly natural that the
time is here when business men have
become thoroughly sold on the idea
of operating, one car for their own
use and another for family use. They
have come to feel it is the height of
selfishness to drive off each morning
with the car and keep it all day. In

Worth Remembering.

To drain the circulating system
when removing the radiator detach
the lower water hose. Since this has
to be detached anyway, il is to be
preferred to opening the drain cock
Saves time and allows more radiator
sediment to drain off.
The problem OF holding the hood up
when working on the engine is con-
veniently solved by tying one OF the
handles OF the lifted side to one OF
the handles of the side that IS fasten-
ed down. A stout cord will hold it
securely and without bending the
hood out Of shape, as is often the
case when the owner tries to keep
the hood up by forcing II into some
position il was no. designed for.
Just because the street or road is
very rough don't imagine that the
car is immune from sliding in wet
weather. 1t is habit with the ma
jority OF drivers to assume that there
Is less possibility Of sliding where the

TREAT EN- ROUGH.

When the brakes do not seem to
hold wep the natural tendency for
the driver is to use them sparingly in
the belief that IL they are used gin
gerly they will be more likely to last
the day out. This coddling, however,
simply aggravates the trouble. What
the brakes need is a little roughine
up. If they are thrown into action a
few times the driver will be surprised
TO see how much better they will hold
as he continues driving throughout
the day.

This Explains It.

Does the engine ever seem TO get
noisy in a way that perplexes you
that is, does there seem to be some
unaccountable rattling under the
hood, a noise that you know cannot

noticed that after day OF this sort

Perpetual Notions.

Isn't it about time that the folks
who are forever looking for the
fourth dimension got busy on the
idea of lighting the country with the
electricity wasted by the automobile
generators? Here are millions of mo-
tor cars actually burning headlights
all day in competition with the sun,
garage men adjusting the generator

Intensive Testing.

When there is difficulty in testing
the spark plugs by the "shorting"
method call a neighbor to assist you
and use several screwdrivers at the
same time. With two cylinders of a
six or an eight cylinder engine "cut
out" at one time 1t is very easy to
note whether the cutting out of a
third cylinder makes any appreciab1e
difference. If there is no difference
