FIashliaht Holder

Many motorists carry a fiashlight In
their cars, and this little piece OF
equipment is extremely valuable for
emergency use. 1t is an excellent idea
to attach two clamps of an appropriate
size to the dash under the hood to hold
this lashlight. In this way the opera

by drilling a small hole diagonally into

Replace Worn Cams.

Another possible location Of noise is
at the cam, between which and the fol-
lower there may be too much clear
ance. Replacing the worn parts will
usually eliminate the trouble. Worn
valve stems or guides may also cause
noise and the removal of the valve
springs will enable one to locate noise
at this point. Therelshould be nc side
play of the stem In its guide and if this
condition is found to exist bushings
should be fixed In the guide or a new
valve with an oversize stem should be
installed.
While tile valve system Is the COM
monest point of noise troubles in an
engine, it is not the sole location
where This trouble may arise. The
bearings in an engine are of such con
struction as to require copious lubri-
cation, or they will burn and flatten
out, with a knock as the result. The
ordinary remedy is to take up the bear
ings by removing the shims between
the two halves or trim the metal from
the removable part of the bearing. In
doing this, care must be taken to see
that the bearing touches the shaft all
around without being too tight.
Gaugine Valve Clearance.
In making valve clearance adjust
ments, drivers are often deceived into
thinking that they have set the clear
ances at the minimum by reason of the
tappet head having a central crater"
which has been formed by the con-
slant hammering contact between the
tappet and the valve stem.
1t Is desirable that a tappet head In
this condition should have this crater
removed by filing or grinding away
the surrounding surface. This treat
ment is advisable not only to enable
clearances to be gagged correctly. but
also for the reason that, in the
case of a well-worn engine of which
the valve guides have become oval,
the valve may occasionally be held
off it's seat when it has heightened
owing to high engine temperatures,
because it may then be held up through
resting on Ine uuWoIH sulAaSC VI enO
tappet head. When this happens
usually at high engine speeds-the
loss of compression occurring may not
be noticed by a falling off of engine
power, but the failure of a valve to
reach its seat firmly will certainly re-
suit in the grinding-in process becom-
ing necessary earlier and more fire.

NOISY VALVE is
EASY TO REMEDY
Too Much Clearance Be
tween Litter and Push Rod
Cause of Trouble.

The commonest engine noises are
valve clicks and slaps, both of which
may be detected by the rhythmical
regularity Of their occurrence. The
reason for noisy valve operation is too
great a clearance between the valve
and its seat. In the case Of overhead
valves. too great a clearance between
the litter and the push rod will cause
this trouble. The remedy Is obviously
the reduction of the clearance to the
correct distance and this should be
done while the engine is heated, In
which condition the valves necessarily
operate.
Occasionally noise in the valve mech
anism is caused by the litter being
loose in its guide. To locate this
trouble the entire litter assembly will
have to be removed. A worn litter
will have to be replaced, though in
some cases the guides may be sprung
slightly, so that they will grip the litter
more tightly, and this eliminates the
trouble.

Overland CUTS
CLOSED CAR
PRICES
Five-Passenger Sedan Put on
Market at $655 by
Company

That lower prices and the steady
increase of retail sales in the auto.
mobile field herald stability OF
other industries throughout the
country is the contention Of WHY'S.
Overland officials who are watch
ing with interest the mounting
sales on the new Overland Standard
sedan recently announced.
Only by the closest application to
detail and the unusual bulk pur.
chases of material, coupled with
increased production due to ex-
tremely heavy sales in the field,
has WHY'S Overland been able to
produce this five-passenger sedan at
1855, the lowest priced sedan with
sliding gear transmission.
Unusual Features.
Several unusual features incor-
porated in the Overland Standard
sedan have bolstered the demand
for this popular model, according
to dealers.
Longer and narrower windows to-
gether with the popular one-piece
adjustable windshield give greater
vision and ventilation, two wider
and heavier doors that provide
greater safety for children in the
rear seat. and far more room for
easy access to both front and rear
seats than in the ordinary two
door sedan have proven popular.
Longer and lower lines have
added to the beauty of this attrac.
tive car which Is upholstered in
fine Bedford cloth that harmonizes
with interior fittings.
Interior Arrangement.
One Of the unique features Of the
new Overland Standard sedan is the
instantaneous Encouragement Of the
interior to form a comfortable bed
for the camper and tourist.
The rear seat cushion is pulled
forward onto the floor, the front
cushion replaces the rear seat and
the backs OF the front seat are
tipped forward, making an unusu-
ally comfortable bed.
This feature was especially de-
signed for travellers to materially
assist in their economies Of travel.
The new Overland Standard sedan
at its price Of $685. is bringing, ac-
cording to Willys-Overland factory
officials, host of open car buyers
into the closed car class.

Petty, manager of the Washington

No tires ever were subjected to

OF the obstacles encountered and

The fact that Firestone balloons
provided maximum traction enabled
the drivers to maintain very high

To me one Of the signs of good
driver is his method of turning
corners. How often do we find a
man who is skillful in handling the
steering wheel, cutting left hand
corners and trusting to his skill to
get away with it. A short left turn
thrust the car directly in the path
OF oncoming traffic. 1t is distinct
ly bad driving.
Another common error in driving
Judgment is a right swing in traf-
fic or even out of it, without first
giving ample notice by putting out
the hand In many States. 1t is
Illegal to turn without signifying
the intention by stretching out the
hand.
A bad error in driving Judgment
Is the tendency of many drivers to
edge over toward the left hand
side Of the road. I have seen driv-
ers do this even when approaching
the crest Of a hill. The danger OF
the practice is apparent The car
which is over toward the left of the
road, is directly inthe path OF on
coming traffic. IL any Unforeseen
circumstance arises, the most skill
fuI driver may not be able to avert
crash and the car on the wrong
side Of the rod Is guilty.
Turning should be recognized as
always q potential cause OF accident.
