While the trousers promise

The Old Mechanic SAYS:

There's more than irony in the
wise guys remark that buyin' new
car is mostly a matter of changin'
service stations. I'm here to state
that it pays to have a change of SER
vice scenery even if you've got your
heart set on troubleproof motoring
with the new car.
Every service station has mean
In all its own to the Teller who is
willin' to learn. Sometimes there's
Just variation enough in the details
of some car units between cars to
give the owner a broader picture of
the whole works. You get sort of
narrow when you buy the same
brand of advice all the time.
One chap complained to me the
other day because he had to run
back to his service station with the
new car to have the brakes adjusted.
He had q lot of trouble with the
brakes on the old car, and when the
brakes started botherin' him with
the new job he was worried
naturally. He admitted that the in
formation he picked up around the
service station for the new car
would have been mighty useful to
him with the old car, and so | tried
to point out to him the fact that
with this panorama of the subject
of brakes he was in better position
to solve future problems.

into a rut with your service. You

What's In An Auto Name

Among popular pastimes with a
motoring flavor why net try offering
suggestions for names for future
cars? Naming cars after historical
personages, planets, presidents and
prominent people always has been
popular, but the possibilities are
somewhat exhausted, unless one
lapses into the ridiculous. Automo-
biies have prospe1ed on distinctive
names, and such nomenclature bids
fair to be popular in the future.
Among the cd names suggested
for future use may be mentioned:
Auto Dynamic. Automotor. Aero
car. Angus. Alpena. Adria. Bolte.
Bramwen. Berg. Blood. Black Dia-
mond. Blomstrom. B u 6 m b ! e.
Browniekar. Ben Hur. Beggs. Chap
man. Canda. Gotta. Conrad. Centaur.
Ores m bile. Cameron. Correja.
Church-field. Climber. Darling. Dyke.
Duer. Dispatch. Everybodys. Econ
omy. Eclipse. Tanning. e. R. P.
Friend, Gasmobile. Gearless. Hay
Berg. Heine-Velox, Kidder, Kunz.
Don't get excited! These are
names of a few of the cars that are
dead and gone. One can hardly
think of wild name that has not
been used for some make of auto
mobile.
Yes, even Rapid" and Success"
have been used. One was called

Two Parking Pointers

While it is a good plan to leave
the car in gear when parking on a
slight downgrade in the city there is
the ever present danger of forget
ting to shift to neutral before crank
ing. For this reason it is best to
leave the car in second gear rather
than reverse. If a mistake is made,
and the car moves before the driver
expects it to, at least it will move
forward where he will have a view
of the road.
Not enough intelligence is display
ed by the authorities of many cities
and towns with respect to parking
restrictions. Frequently mo park
ing signs are so carelessly placed
as to be taken as more of a re-
strictive measure than they were in
tended to be. When in doubt, ask a
policeman. If enough persons ask
him, he will report to headquarters
that the authorities have not made
themselves entirely clear.

You don't watch the mechanics half
the time. Upshot of it is that If
something happens you've got only
one track mind to meet it with.
A new service station-even If
you've got to buy new car to get
it gives you a new slant, rounds
you out and puts you where you
won't be all balled up if bolt
takes three turns instead of two.
Did You Know That

are apt to buckle from excessive dis

The underside of q cylinder head
top may contain a raised or rough
spot of sufficient size to cause a
gasket leak when it is replaced?
Sometimes the head is put down so
tight at the factory, the raised spot
does not have an opportunity to
create a leak.
