To know whether the engine is run
ming properly the driver has the in
Strument board for a guide. For in
stance there Is the ammeter, the in
strument with the pointer which
fickers between charge" and dis
charge" When the car is running al
an even speed and the horn is not b.
ing used the ammeter pointer should
be showing a rate Of charge some
where around u amperes and ii
should he steady. If it flickers there
is something wrong.
The oil pressure gauge on the dash
! is also another valuable guide Il
shows how much pressure there is in
the engine oiling system. The pointer
will be a little slow to register in cold
weather because the oil is concealed.
If the oil pump should break or the
system should spring a leak the point
er win drop back to zero. If the oil
line gets clogged the pointer VIII
swing up to the highest reading.
An apropos story is told of one
woman whose car went to the shol,
three times in succession for trouble
known as clutch slipping. Because she
did not take an active interest in the
repair work she never came to know
that the trouble was caused merely By
her habit Of driving continually with
her foot poised on the clutch peda
This is known as riding the clutch
There is just enough pressure on the
clutch to weaken the clutch springs
and cause a little slipping which soon
becomes chronic.
1t is essential for a woman to know
what happening when she drives an
automobile. 1t means more power u
the car and, better still, more power
to her.

How much should milady know
about the mechanical mysteries under
the hood of her car?
With service stations and garages
everywhere il would seem that the
problem of keeping the family ear
properly servicod should be the lea ST
of her worries. However. Of The 800
900 odd places where drivers can OBJ
tain mechanical aid nowadays there is
an amazingly small percentage equip
ped with mechanics of an analytical
turn of mind. And any driver has to
differentiate between fact and fancy,
skill and guesswork.
There are many notions and preju-
dices in repair circles. These notions
are discovered easily once the genera
principles Of the automobile are under
stood. This serves as a guide To thu.

tackle in the way of mechanical prin-
ciples and how much to leave 10 the
mechanically inclined.
Principles Of Motor.
Under the hood there is a unique
power plant. 1t will not start of its
own accord. In modern cars an cleo
trio motor starts the engine shaft re
volving. Pressing the starter button
automatically brings into engagement
the gears that enable the starter mo
tor to transfer it's energy to the fly.
wheel of the engine shaft. 1t is plain
that if the driver keeps her foot on
the starter button. or pedal. after the
engine starts the starter motor and its
gears may be damaged.
Even when in motion a gasoline en-
CINE requires speed for power. The
hardest job for the engine is TO get the
car started from rest. Furthermore
the engine can't be raced and then
joined to the shaft that conveys the
power to the rear wheels without
straining the clutch which does the
joining. The manufacturer. therefore.
provides a set of gears that gives the
engine mechanical advantage. That
is, by going into low gear the engine
can run fast though the car will move
very slowly when the clutch is Ell
gagged. The engine is enabled to move
the stubborn car because it moves II
so slowly.
Knowing this much about whats
under the hood il isn't necessary l.
ask a mechanic why the engine stalls
when trying to start it in high gear

thinking there is nothing wrong II

Tor so lean a mixture that the engine

Story of Choker.
There is quite a story in the
choker button which one pulls out
when cranking the engine. This little
| control merely shuts off the air tc
the carburetor so that the engine
sucks in raw gasoline TO start with

gasoline is smashed into a SPRAY

BALLOONS ON TRACKS.
Size and Pressure Often Just
Right for Skidding.

Drivers of cars VIII 6afloon tires
should be particularly careful when
turning in and out of car tracks.
Many of the balloon tire sizes now be
ing used are not immune to a rail
skid. When balloons were first in
PRODUCED it was the rule to demon
strate them with the larger sizes and
with lower pressures than are advis-
able for economical service. The
larger sizes will not catch in car
tracks. even if the latter are in rather
bad condition. The same may be said
OF some of the smaller sizes when IN
derinflated. The best policy is to
drive ones car in accordance with the
size of the tires used and the pressures
carried. rather than on a basis of past
performances with other sizes under
inflated.

Opinions Are Recognized.

Manufacturers are commencing to
appreciate the fact that the average
person is entitled TO his opinion. They
also are showing that they are en-
Titled To their own opinions as we'll.
Each manufacturer figures that there
will be enough people with his type of
ideals to give him sufficient volume
of business. Just at present there is
need for public recognition of this sit
uation. Car buyers are urged TO have
definitely liked in their minds the sort
