The Old Mechanic Says:
Motorists are like folks with ap-
pendicitis-some Of 'em believe in
being careful of their diet, takin'
medicines and tryin' cures while
others let matters drift along till
they have to be rushed to the
hospital for a speedy operation. Out
here In my shop see a lot OF the
operatin' business. We take things
apart here all day long and, though
we're careful as can be, many car
leaves the shop with scars that
they'll never be able to get rid Of.
A small portion Of our business
around here, however, has to do with
expensive operations.
One chap comes in here every now
and again to have his carburetor
mixture will encourage carbon, and
he wants to avoid that II possible.
One of the best things he does Is to
take care to See that he doesn't run
too far on one film of the crankcase
and that he doesn't run with too
much oil in the engine.
Another owner believes that by
putin heavier grease in the diff
ferential and by drivin' up on the
crown Of the road instead Of on the
side he can escape the expense Of
takin' off the right rear wheel,
putin in a new axle housing washer
and maxim big Job of cleanin' off
the brake drum. At night he squirts
a little kerosene oil on the band.
This helps clean 1t off. and it's dry
enough in the. morning SOS not to
make the brakes useless.
You can avoid a lot Of car opera
tions by tryin' cures. A lot of own
ers who have valve troubles could
save rippin' off the cylinder head by
runnin' on richer mixture for a
few days-just long enough to cut
down on the use of the choker in
startin'

This Sunday

This Sunday
To great many conscientious
f1notor car owners and drivers Sum
day 10 developing into an oppor-
tunity to perform good deed for
motordom. Sunday is the day when
. most accidents happen and. as a
/ consequence. tho day when &C
cident prevention is most needed
ana most effective.
Sunday as a motoring day has
been allowed to degenerate as a re-
suit of the reluctance of careful
drivers to drum ideas into the thick
skulls o. their careless comrades.
| Sunday has been badly damaged by
! the good driver who thinks that just
! because the weeks work Is over he
} can afford to be as careless as those
drivers who go wild on Sundays
mainly because they have no other
day to use the car extensively.
This Sunday, and many Sundays
to come, can be vastly improved by
means OF a little cooperation from
those motorists who should know
better than to pass cars at hill-tops
and curves. Sunday is the best day
OF the week for giving the greenhorn
and the jazz driver an object lesson
In decent driving.
The thing is quite beyond the
police and the motor vehicle OF
ficials. Only q small proportion of
the road fools can be caught and
punished. And the problem Is doub-
" dificult for the enforcement Of
ficers when drivers who are compe-
tent throughout the week suddenly
let down the bars for day OF
danger.
This Sunday would show ma :
terial reduction in the number OF
accidents and everyone would have
a happier time Of 1T II experienced
drivers would operate their cars
with their accustomed precision
and care. The careless minority
would be conspicuous by COMPARE
son. This would aid the enforce
ment officers in picking out those
who need punishment and would
also impress -greenhorns with the
folly OF their frequent blunders.
This Sunday is the basis OF this
freedom from the curse of weekend

through the gears when the traffic
officer says go" because the
chances are that the officer at the
next crossing is getting ready to
say stop. Often a quicker start at
one crossing will avoid a stop at ths
next.
If a street car has come to stop
and there is a parked car 30 block

stop behind the street car rather
than abreast of it. Let the other
fellow try to get past the street car
when it starts. He'll give it up
when he sees the parked car. slow

car. But if you're there first You'll
be the first to pass the street car
after it has passed the parked car.
Don't confuse the traffic officer By
giving left turn signal when you
simply intend warning the man be-
hind to stop.

Oil az you Need II

The amount Of oil to be put in
with the gasoline when breaking in
a new car depends upon service
expected Of the car during that
period. II one is just driving it
around town for the first 500 miles
a pint Of oil to five gallons of gas
will be sufficient to keep the pistons
from binding. whereas a quart to
five gallons will be safer pro-
portion II the owner must do con-
siderable hill climbing. even though
he takes each hill slowly in second
gear. Care should be exercised to
see that you do not foul the plugs
and cylinders unnecessarily. II the
car has an easy job ahead and YOU
think the proportion Of oil is too
great then buy some more gas to
lower the oil content.

ed. Then learn to avoid their mis-
take. Considerable difficulty was
had by owners of one of the 1924
models but it could have been obvi-
ated by a little wiser use of the
clutch pedal OF course manu-
facturers can't advertise these facts.
but that's no reason why owners
should remain in the dark at their
own expense.
The fan of the automobile is one
of the most neglected units and is
often to blame for noises that are at
tributed to the timing gears. The
fan bearings usually hold lot of
grease, and, like wheel bearings. go
so long on one greasing as to slip
the owners mind when they need a
repeat greasing.
Did You Know
That if the engine is pumping oil
you can keep the plugs. cleaner by
using an extra gasket for each?
This naturally prevents the plugs
from screwing in so far and thus
keeps their points further away from
the head of the pistons.
That if your engine is in good
running order 1t will operate at a
lower temperature and burn off less
oil climbing steep hills in second
gear than in high? Low car
speed in high gear means a wide
open throttle and terrific combus-
ton. Low car speed in second gear
requires less gas per power stroke
of any piston and affords better
circulation of water and oil. Also
the fan runs at a higher speed and
there is less friction through strain.
The reason most motorists think of
second" as a heating up process is
because they never resort to it until
the engine is already overheating
from failure to make" hill in
high"
That with four wheel brakes it is
possible to know when YOUR own
brakes are burning? An old rule in
motordom says that q motorist can
never smell his own brakes when
they're burning, but it's different
when two of the brake bands are on
the front. Yes, four brakes will
burn same as two. Perhaps not so
readily. but no brake system will
stand abuse.
