The Old Mechanic Says:

1mpatience is bad thing in any
case, but when 1t interferes with
fair tryout of new accessory for the
car, I'm one to fight 1t to a finish.
Every now and again, I'm called up
ca to take off some new accessory that
an owner has had installed, and in al
most every case it's because they
haven't given it fair trial.
1t takes quite while to get used
to some things, and this certainly APP
plies to accessories, particularly those
that change the ridin' qualities of the
car or that require the driver to
change his tactics a little. It's the
same with breakin' in a new car. only
the investment in that case is so great
the owner knows he's got to put up
with it. 1t takes some owners about
year to get to like their cars, and aft
err that you have a hard time inter-
estin them in changin them. They
would get to like most of the access
sorics, too, if they would stick to
them long enough.
Like cars, accessories do not always
work their hest at the start This is
particularly true of the many devices
that are built to stop spring recoil or
to ease road shock. One of these de-
vices does not begin to work prop
erly until the car mas Deen driven laSt
over a rough road, but the owner
sometimes Is so disappointed to find
the car not ridin' we'll over an ordi-
nary road, he wants to have the
thing ripped off.
I know one man who had an air
cleaner put on his car. He also had the
valves ground. When he tried to start
the car, it had q tendency to stall.
which he promptly blamed on& the
cleaner. So off it came. Of course, the
stalling was due to the condition of
the engine and possibly the carburetor
had been disturbed a little.
Accessories have to be given
chance to make good. Certain preju
dices must be overcome. And the own
err has to get on to how to use them to
get maximum results.

Facts worth Remembering

Body noises are worse at this time
of year. owing to dampness and alb
sence of heat in garages. Drying out
Of the body joints effects the remedy.
Take the plug out of the bottom of
the clutch housing when the new car
is delivered, assuming it is the dry
plate type. The plug is supplied to
prevent oil drip in case the owner is
fussy about his garage floor. With the
plug out. water from condensation will
drip out and save rusting the clutch
shaft.
If the engine fires few times when
the ignition has been switched off 1t is
filled with carbon which, being incan-
descent, acts as a spark plug for one
or two power strokes.

Did You Know That

The best way to warm up some en-
gines is to idle them? They run on a
richer mixture draw in less cold air
and the hot exhaust gases escape more
slowly.
Some engineers question the eficien-
cy of the thermostat method of pre-
venting water from circulating into
the radiator until the engine block is
thoroughly warm. The argument is
that when the thermostat valve opens
all the advantages are lost through
the slow circulation of the hot water
through the cold radiator and the cold
radiator water through the hot engine
block.

they run less risk of a gasket leak
using hard grease than when using
shellac. The car owner listens to the
story, but fails to appreciate that the
mechanic may be fighting shy of shell
lac because he does not know how to
use it.
The use of grease as gasket seal
is recognized by modern mechanics as
one of the jokes in the repair game,
like flushing out the crankcase with
kerosene. The best of mechanics use
shellac but they know how to use 1t.
Shellac has to be put on skilfully,
just so much and no more. But. when
it IL on and the head Is down the
owner does not have to come back for
another seance with the repairer.

have made careful analysis of re-
ports from our dealers and distribu-
tors in all sections of the country
with the result that feel there will
be a continuance of sound business,
except perhaps in a few spotty places,
throughout the balance of 1926.
While the east and central west have
encountered a backward spring, this
apparently has not proved serious
obstacle. Trade in most lines is active.
The south and southwest have been
very active and with settled weather
in sight the general prospects are ex-
tremely encouraging.

Baby's Shoes Bring
Safety To Auto Racer

Indianapolis. May 14-(R-A pair
of baby shoes was worth $s7.5oo n
cash to Pete DePaolo last year, but
they failed to bring him victory at the
recent international speedway race,
The 1926 American automobile rae.
ing champion. who also leads the paek
for 1926, attributes his success to thJ
fact that a pair Of his youngsters
boots hangs from the front axle AZ
his car in every contest. His cash
winnings aggregated approximately
$4,000.
DePaolo Is superstitious only IN that
one respect. He said from the time he
attached the shoes he has not had
serious accident. They will be bis
good-luck piece until he quits the
sport.
The champion driver will have two
new cars in the 500-mile indianapolis
race and the shoes viii be switched
to the one he selects to pilot.

Mere washing of the cars running

Judging Tire Wear

One of the commonest mistakes in
caring for the car is to confuse nor
NAL right front tire wear with that
which results from misalignment of
front wheels. The right front tire al
ways wears more than the left, owing
to the browning of road surfaces and
the rougher condition of the edge of
the highway. When looking for evil
dences of misalignment of front
wheels, both tires should be consid-
cred.

Packing Industry Now
Safely Through Mos!
Trying Area, Says White

CHICAGO, Oct 25 P).-Safely
through six-year period of rigorous
post war adjustment, the American
Packing industry faces the future with
greater care than at any time since
1920, F. Edison White, president of
Armour and company, said today in an
address before the annual convention
of the Institute of American Meat
Packers.
Pointing to the success OF the in
dustry in meeting a critical situation
after the rapid war time expansion,
White emphasized the significance of
the experience, as he saw it, as dem
onstrating the wisdom of non-inter-
ference with industry by governmental
agencies.
Not only the packers had regained q
position of encouraging stability, but
the producers, too, had been benefited
by the stabilization of the entire in
dustry.
In this connection, Oscar G. Mayer,
Chicago, president OF the institute,
pointed out that che sum paid to the
producer for livestock so far this year
exceeds by about $50,O00,000 the sum
paid during the same period year
ago and exceeds the sum paid during
the same period of 1924 by some $685.
