Does the engine ever seem to get

That is, does there seem to be some
Understandable rafting under the

be the result of any ordinary thing
coming loose? And have You ever
noticed that after day of this
sort of thing the motometer sud-

that the radiator needs water? If
SO, the chances are that the system
was shy of the proper amount of

Doing the Job Right

If the carbon is to be burned out
of the cylinders by means of an
oxygen torch be sure that the me-
chanic 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

That though the springs may be
kept well fabricated by squirting oil
over them this method facilitates
the accumulation of dirt and grit
between the leaves? The most
satisfactory way of getting spring
comfort is to clean and graphite the
springs and then protect them with
covers.
That the tires on the right side of
the car are subjected to more wear
and should therefore become smooth
quicker? The right tires get most
of the riding over the rough edges
CT the road and they travel further
than those on the left. Most turns
are to the left, and in such instances
the right wheels take the outer and
longer route.

Intensive Testing
When there Is difficulty in test
ing the spark plugs by the short
ing method call q neighbor to as
sist you and use several screw
drivers at same time. With two
cylinders of a six or an eight
cylinder engine "cut out" at one
time it is very easy to note whether
the cutting out of a third cylinder
makes any appreciable difference.
If there is no difference the last
plug ''cut out" is the guilty one.
Worth Remembering
To drain the circulating system
when removing the radiator, detach
the lower water hose. Since this
has to be detached anyway it is to
be preferred to opening the drain
cock Saves time and allows more
radiator sediment to drain on.
The problem of holding the hood
up when working on the engine is
conveniently solved by tying one Of

ernmental regulations so that the
POSSIBILITY Of similar leases of the pub
lie domain will be diminished.
