LIGHT OIL IS BEST.
Kerosene Not to Be Used for Bath-
ing Springs.

When bathing the springs with oil.
a light machine oil, something suit
able for household use or for type
writer's. should be used. II such oil
is not handy, engine oil may be mixed
with gasoline. Kerosene should never
be used because it has a tendency
to rust the springs. One of the best
lubricants for springs is the diluted
oil drained out of the crankcase when
the oil in the engine is changed.

DEALERS TAKE UP
USED CAR PROBLEM
Trade Body Starts "Truth"
Campaign-Urges Selling
at Fair Prices.

Because the used.car problem has
assumed such great proportions. au-
tomobile dealers are endeavoring TO
place prices on them which are closer
TO their real values. according to a
bulletin of the Washington Automo-
tive Trade Association, explaining the
used-car truth campaign fostered by
the national organization of dealers.
This closer relation of price to actual
worth, the W. A. T. A. statement
points out. is bringing about stab
ilized used-car market. with consid-
cradle benefit both to dealers and pur-
chasers.
About 1000 900 used cars must be
sold every year by the automobile
dealers of the United States, accord
ing to the dealers. who point out that
if the automobile business Is to en-
Joy stable conditions the used cars
cannot be sold at loss to the deal
er, which is frequently the result OF
acquiring them from a motorist at
price far in excess of the actual value
of the car.
Three Cars i'm One Sale.
Two, three or four sales are gen
orally necessary for an automobile
dealer to complete a transaction be-
gun with the sale of a new car, ac-
cording 70 the dealers association
statement. Following the sale of the
new car the dealer who has taken
used car in a trade must in turn sell
that, and in so disposing of It may
accept another used car in exchange.
Unless these successive transactions
are to be made without loss to the
dealer, there can be no imitation In
the price which the dealers allows in
effecting the exchange.
Reputable dealers, the buying public
is told, are determined to keep both
the purchase and selling prices of
used cars as close as possible to their
actual values. Formerly, 1t is said,
unscrupulous venders of used cars
paid more for them than their real
worth justified, and in turn exacted
a higher price than they were worth
to induce motorists 10 turn in their
old cars for new ones. The w. a. T.
A. bulletin declares that dealers are
going TO insist on the discontinuance
Of such a practice.
Fair Prices Urged.
To effect desirable adjustment in
the used car market, 1t has been
necessary to lower the price allowed
for a used car in trade. with the con-
sequence that both the used car pur
chase prices and their sales figures
today are lower than ever before. The
dealers say that IL the used-car busi-
ness Is TO be maintained at profit
TO the dealer and consequent ad-
vantage to prospective buyers. every
effort must be made to avoid infia-
tion in estimating the values of used
machines.
Unless purchase prices approximate
values, the dealer cannot operate
business which can offer proper serv-
ice to the buying public. nor can the
prospective used-car owner expect TO
get what he pays for, the W. A. T. A.
bulletin points out. The dealers or
ganization holds that a good business
man must figure on the added cost of
reconditioning a used car before sell
ing 1t, and this is an item many
motorists are said to overlook in esti-
mating a fair price for used auto
mobile.

DRY VACUUM TANKS.
Many Causes for Clogging of Cas-
oline Feed System.

There are several causes for the
vacuum tank going dry while the car
is in operation. II the pin hole in the
cap Of the main tank is clogged with
dirt, the vacuum system will be
stopped; if the connections for the
suction windshield wiper become dis.
connected, the tank Is likely to go
dry. and II the car is run uphill for
a long time, slowly in high gear.
This usually happens IL the tank is
only half filled at the start, assuming
that the carburetor has been leaking
a bit. A leaking carburetor float
valve also will cause a vacuum tank
to go dry while the engine is running
Surfaced roadways in the United
States have been built at the rate OF
more than 10000 miles a year since
1921. according to the Department Of
Agriculture.

Clutch Slips by 0verheating.

A slipping clutch usually starts
with an overheated clutch. First the
clutch starts dragging, due to over
heating through enforced slipping or
poor adjustment; gear shifting be-
comes difficult, then the Innings OF the
plates burn and the clutch slips.
