Camshaft Bushing May He Loose.
Your trouble may possibly be a

Is not such common source of trou-
BILE the thing to do is to inquire at
your service station whether they
have much trouble with camshafts.
IF they advise that they seldom
find trouble at this point, except with
very old cars. you might as well cross
this possibility off your list and de-
eide that you have a piston slap"
You mean that a piston slaps in
its cylinders because it's loose?'
Smith asked, Seems to me that If it
were loose 1t would slap all the time,

BEING TOO Confident
CAUSES ACCIDENTS
Driver May Be Having Faith in
His Judgment Based on
Wrong Conception.

Too much emphasis on confidence
In driving is an underlying cause
of a large percentage of automobile
accidents and collisions, in the opin-
ion of c. r. Hough, local Marmon
dealer.
In most instances, he says, it is a
case of confidence in ones ignorance
of fundamentals of safety and skill
full handling of the car.
According to Mr.. Hough, the prob
lem is one of careless psychology,
the driver emphasizing the necessity
of having faith in what he is doing
without stopping to question the
virtue of the act itself or the cor
rectness of the information he is
guided by.
II see 1t demonstrated in the mat
ter of skidding," he points out. "A
driver will worry for fear of losing
control of the car on slippery streets,
only to be told by some one that the
way to prevent skidding is to believe
that IL isn't going to happen. A sort
of blind faith takes hold of the driver
He believes. But he forgets to be-
lieve in facts.
HE keeps on doing the things that
make for skidding and sooner or later
his belief gives way to the stern
reality of a bad spill. He has ample
confidence. but fails to have conf
dence in the right thing.
Much of this is due to too much
free advice on the value of psychology
In the operation of a car. 1t would
be better in the long run If more
drivers had less confidence and more
knowledge of what produces acct
dents
The driver who fears that he
doesn't know the whole story usually
stands better chance Of avoiding
trouble than the one who thinks that
merely thinking he's safe will do the
trick"

when we line up against some absurd
piece of proposed legislation which we
tell ourselves cannot possibly attract
support. Adverse motor laws in the
form of taxation schemes are always
thought out by those who know that
they can count upon the support of
others who would relish the new source
of revenue.
THE average motorist has no con-
ception of the many special interests
| that picture him as the easy mark of
all times, the party who can always
be counted upon to dig into his pockets
| to make up a State deficit. A. A. A.
| clubs are making every effort to bring
this fact to the attention of the motor
| list through acting as a clearing house
| for information regarding proposed
laws for 1925. Members Of automobile
clubs can, therefore, assist not only in
curbing undesirable local legislation but
| such legislation in other States as well.
Prevention of legislation has become
the big automobile problem of the year.

Some Models In Demand.
Some of the newer models which
are in great demand can frequently
be seen in the service stations Be-
ing ordered for immediate delivery
upon arrival, some of the models can
not be sent to the showroom even
for a temporary display The only
way to see the cars that are in such
demand, therefore. is to look them
over while they are being prepared
for delivery.
This refers particularly to some
of the coaches, sport sedans and
fancy roadsters which are just COM
ing into production and which seem
to have attracted considerable at
tention at the show. 1t will be some
time before these models will be ar

extremely low and you know from

that 1T is not accurate, you auto

of filling up with too much oil and
fouling the cylinders. If the clutch

do to stop 1T from leading you into
trouble, and your remedy may be so
simple as to be merely little change
in your method of handling the car
or the addition of a different grade
of oil, if it happens to be a type
of clutch responsive to such treat
ment.
When your car is no mystery, it is
a simple matter to lead it back to

Work Your Clutch
Till Last Minute,
Right Way to Stop

Where do you keep the gas throttle
when you drive through traffic?
If you are in the habit of using the
hand throttle now and again instead
of the accelerator You are also likely
to forget to shut it all the way Off
when you are using the accelerator.
The danger in this is that in event
of quick stop your brakes Will be
rendered less effective because of the
fact that the engine is pulling the car
ahead instead of helping 1T to stop,
for the proper way to stop-as you
may KNOWS to keep the clutch en-
gagged until the last minute.

EQUAL TRACTION NEEDED.

In Winter, or during any other
season of the year. when the roads
and streets are wet and slippery, try
at all times TO drive in such a way
that all four wheels OF the car have
equal traction-that is, do not run
along the road with the two right
wheels on a strip of ice or wet pave
ment while the two left ones are run
ming on the dry.
In event Of A quick stop 1t is
usually best TO have the same trac-
tion all around, even if it's poor
traction. Unequal traction may upset
your rules for preventing a skid or
for stopping one that has started.

AVOIDING SKIDDING CAR.

Try at all times in Winter driving
when the streets are slippery to keep
to the left IL driving where there
are several cars abreast. Due to the
crowding of the average streets most
cars skid to the right. If you happen
to be between such a skdding car
and the curb there is very little
chance of escape.

out the car after he had left, but
could find nothing the matter. When
the owner was forced to give dem
onstration the trouble was at once
apparent. He was IN the habit of let
ting in the clutch with a jerk. One
of the rear wheels was loose enough
to cause the tapered end of the axle
to slip little and produce the crack

applied.

This was clearly a trouble born of
misuse of the car. Had the owner

has remained ever since.
