One-way lockers on tWO.way streets
tend to fatten the mortality sheets.
One Rule for Both.

Disposing of the old car involves Il
which suggests the value of borrow
ing an idea from the automobile bust
ness.
1t is the automobile dealer who sells
the motorist his new car, and the
motorist who sells the dealer an old
one as part payment. Obviously the
selling plan that serves one should
serve the other.
What does the dealer, or his sales
man, do? Does he keep himself and his
product under cover for several years
and then rush suddenly to the motor
list with q suggestion to buy? Does
he keep his article a secret until the
last minute and then expect the mo-
torist to accept the car solely on the
sales argument?
The answer is an emphatic NO,
as every one knows. Something along
this line. however. occurs when the
motorists goes to trade in his old car.
Very frequently the motorist wants
to sell an old car which the dealer
never has seen before and with which
he cannot possibly be familiar. If
deal is made, the automobile man has
to figure on buying something on
speculation.
This should not be the case. The
dealer ought TO be familiar with any
cars that may be traded in or which
he may be called upon to market
through his used car department. even
if this IS handled on a commission
basis. And the motorist ought to So
that the dealer is given the opportun-
ity to become acquainted with the old
car.
The automobile dealer keeps in
touch with the prospect, showing him
the new car from time to time. The
prospect should have his old car regu-
larly serviced at the dealers place of
business. That sells it.

Be Sure Pins Are Safe.

There is a theory abroad in motor
auditory annoyance and that so long
as the driver does not mind it there
is no reason for replacing 1t. This
is not good reasoning because the pin
plays an important part in keeping a
piston centered. The upper end Of
each connecting rod grips its piston
pin and, in turn. moves with the re-
spective piston. In most engines the
connecting rods are free TO float a lit.

can adjust itself to it's cylinder. But

Use of too rich a mixture entails
more expense than that of the extra
fuel consumed. according to o. II. En-
sign of the Ensign Carburetor Com
pany at recent meeting of the
Southern California section of the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers.
The indirect cost, according to the
speaker. includes the expense caused
by increase of carbon. valve grinding,
wear of cylinders and pistons. and
crankcase oil dilution. Said Mr..
Ensign:
MY experience has shown that a
mixture that is at once leaner and
hotter than at maximum engine
power will earn more money for the
owner by saving money on repairs
than he could make by the trifing
addition in power gained in having a
maximum all-round power output" 3"

He pointed out that automobiles,
trucks and motor cycles are opera ted
most of the time at or under half

engine speeds varying from 400 TO
1900 revolutions per minute, there
is very little difference in power out

GAS QUALITY CHANGEABLE
Better Grade Often Temporarily
Sold to Boost Dealers Business.

Occasionally some refiner will offer
n better grade of gasoline to build up
his business. Often this is temporary
The way to find out whether the gas
is being maintained at the new and
higher quality is to go back to the
brand of gas commonly dispensed

Special Attention to Handling Is
Urged Where Speeding Prevails.

With the faster speeds now prevail

The best place to hold the wheel is on

FORCE GREASE IN BOLTS.
Spreading of Shackles Needed to Do
Thorough Job.

One way to help grease find it's
way through the spring bolts is to
spread the forks of the spring
shackles apart with stout stick while
pressure is being applied to the grease
gun. This provides opportunity for
the grease TO find outlets.
1t will also obviate the annoyance
of having grease work out of one
particular point. which usually is on
the side of the bolt nearest the grease
gun. For a thorough greasing, II is
necessary to force grease all the way

Visual Education
In Safety Used in

Visual methods are being used
in Bavaria to warn children of the

a series of ten postcards has

cards depict stupid children" who
are accustomed TO take chances of

One way to satisfy oneself that good

the indications are that the last man
who did the work failed to clean off
all the stray carbon particles.
Wherever one remains the gasket is
marked accordingly. In addition, if
there are black spots at various points
