Squeak, Rumble or Rattle
Ciues Warning of Trouble

gated Promptly, That attention May

self that it isn't Serious thus re-
Vealing his ignorance Of the fact that
a car never calls for help unless il
has good reason to.
Squeaks, rlGnbles and rattles are
the beginning of trouble. Who would
suspect. for instance, that the rum
bling of a fan would eventually re-
suit In tying up tho driver on the
road with a badly overh Gated en-
glne? In repair shop recently il
was discovered that the fan bearings
OF a certain car had never been prop
erly fabricated. At high speed, there
fore, the fan would resist the spin
ming motion impaired to IT, by the
belt and thus overhead the engine
The owner might have caught the
trouble in the making had he known
what the fan was saying when il first
began making that rumbling noise
1t is true that there are some
noises that do not indicate mechan-
ical trouble, but If YOU are going TO
keep your car in the pink of condi-
tion 1t is easier to look for the cause
OF one squeak or rattle than to wait
until you have accumulated a dozen
of them. Even If you fail to locate
the original squeak on the first at
tempt, the oiling and Tightening you
do is a good preventive against ad-
ditional noises.
The important point is to differcn-
tiate between mechanical and non
mechanical noises. There is one gen
eral rule to remember in this connec-
ton. but Of course il has it's impor-
tant exceptions. Generally speaking.
however, a noise from a. mechanical
part of the car Is more likely to be
constant.
For instance, if generator bear
ing goes dry and needs oil. it viii
squeak constantly, first family and
later shrilly. On the other hand
noise of the same intensity and type
mil ght be caused by the windshield
but it would be intermittent You

BY WILLIAM ULLMAN.

For the first time since the first
ene-lunger startled the doubling in
habitants OF Detroit all motordom is
taking stock.
The new year opens with more
American people directly and indi-
rsctly interested in the automobile
Than ever before in the history of
motor transportation. The stock of
problems was enormous on January
I, 1925. but never were there more
ambitious plans for a quick turn
ever OF the surplus.
The opinion prevails that with
motordom taking stock the nation
will have a. breathing spell sufficient
10 give IL moment TO lay practical
plans for the new year and TO de-
fernine where il is and where il
IS not on the right track. The auto
mobile shows are said to be furnish
inE the logical opportunity for this.
But attention is directed to the
fact that all the stock taking process
is not visible at the shows: that one
has to look deeper into tho big facts
of Inotordom in general. At the
shows one sees the steady trend to-
ward four-wheel brakes. an almost
universal adoption of balloon tires
and a pronounced determination on
tho part of many manufacturers to
give the straight-eight type of en-
gine 4 run for its money. But this
IS but a portion of the stock
Business Situation Discussed.
Automobile dealers will tell you
THAT the trade is coming successfully
through a period representing a trend
toward better relations between
manufacturers and automobile mer-
chants. Following the plan of one
OF the more powerful production
groups progressive car makers are
now building cars according to de-
msnd, and are adjusting prices ac-
cordingly. There is to be no more
crowding OF dealers, an evil which
during the early summer OF 1924 did
much to retard the progress of both
the trade and motor transportation
itself.
In other words, because dealers will
not be forced to carry excessively
1args stocks of cars in anticipation
Of doubtful demand there will always
be fewer cars between the assembly
line and the car owner, and there
fore a better opportunity to get new
models and new features TO the pub
lie quicker. The year just closed
has taught the whole of motordom
that overproduction is not desirable
in the modern scheme of things.
Hopeful Sign Cited
One of the most hopeful signs for
the new year. as seen from the known
facts investigated, is the steady prog
reSs in the handling of the trade-in.
Two years ago at this time the aver
age automobile dealer was taking
stock, only to ind that he had suf-
fered a loss of $70.23 on every used

SIo,U Speed Hurts
Engines in Winter
When Starting Off

One of the biggest mistakes IN
Winter driving is the idea that
one should not drive fast when
the car is cold, because this leads
one to forget that the engine is
the thing that should be pampered
and not the car. At "A car speed
of IL miles an hour in low gear
many an engine is receiving worse
punishment that it would were
the driver hitting speed of
80 miles an hour in high gear.
The speed of the engine is the
thing to watch.
This being true, it is evident
that the noise of the gears when
racing the engine at low car speed
makes it all the more difficult to
detect the rap of a bearing that
is suddenly being denied a sufficient
amount of lubricant.

Squeaks may come and squeaks
may go, but the car doesn't 90 on
forever without developing trouble
and introducing the owner to another
repair bill.
There's a reason for every squeak
and rattle in the car. and unless its
meaning is clear to the man at the
wheel, it isn't long before he's hear
ing the rattle of mechanics tools and
wondering why he was SO shortsight-
ed as to forget that in the modern
automobile noise is coming to mean
trouble.
Consider the universal joints which,
when out of commission, toll not,
neither do they spin. A metal uni
versal is silent when il is well creased
and not worn, but when neglected
it has its way of telling the world.
An experienced driver catches its
warning as quickly as he would note
any unusual variation in the ammeter
reading. He gets busy looking into
the matter and the result is that he
is not so likely to be obliged to make
things hum around the nearest re
pair shop.
Never Too Early TO Stop.
The first step is to know that any
strange noise from under the hood
or from the chassis is cue TO stop,
look and get busy. Most drivers do
not stop until the car has cried out
beyond the limit of its endurance
and there's only one answer to that
sort of thing. You might say that
it's never too late TO ask the car what
it's saying, but II is also important to
remember that it's never too early to
stop the car and investigate.
The average driver would stop II
his oil pressure gauge suddenly fell
back to zero, yet a strange noise from
the car seldom stimulates him to ac-
tion. To him they are just "squeaks.
He may be annoyed, but he tells him

PRESSURE ON OLD TIRES
Will Run UnderinHated for Sew.
eral Thousand Miles.

Old tires, provided they have no
breaks in the walls, will stand low
pressure better than new. AS a mat
ter of fact, if tire has become suf-
ficiently flexible it will run under
inflated without harm for several
thousand miles.
A new cord tiro can be educated
to running under normal pressure
after it has run about 5000 miles.
Results are more satisfactory on
front wheels, where there is less

TEST FOR 4.WHEEL BRAKES.

A quiet street, level. well paved and

the accuracy of your four-whe ell
brake adjustments, if there is ice on
the street The slightest misadjust-
ment will be noted in the tendency
of the car to deviate from a. straight
course when stopping.

BINDING SPRING POINTS,
Hard Riding of Car May Be Traced
to Uneven Eyes of Ends.

Perhaps the hard riding of your
car has something to do with the
spring shackles. Just because you
are able to force grease through the
spring bolts is no reason to assume
that there are no points that are
binding. Sometimes the eyes of the
spring ends are not even at all points,
with the result that tho spring bolt
or its nuts will be bound at certain
nositionS.
