VIEW OF EXPERTS CITED.
Doesn't Pay to Flush Oiling System
With Kerosene.

Car owners are gradually coming to
realize that it doesn't pay to flush out
the oiling system with kerosene. In
fact. experts are advising against 1t.
If kerosene is used II means that some
of it will remain in the troughs and
thus dilute the fresh Oil that is added
A way'to obviate this and at the same
time flush out the system, is to sub
stitute a quart of fresh oil for the
kerosene. Unless the engine Is IN
very bad condition this VIII help to
get out every drop of old oil--and
some of the dirt which may have ac-
without the danger of
diluting the fresh oil, which is later

Three Traffic Tricks,

Ordinarily 1t does not pay TO get
behind a street car on the theory that
Evening star., 1926-03-14

one will be able to get ahead OF the
car that has stopped beside the street
car. But If the driver is going to
make a right turn this plan can be
followed successfully. The turn neces.
sarily will be slow, holding back the
machines behind. The street car and
the car behind it can get away In the
meantime.
Many drivers have a tendency to
follow certain safety suggestions 50
religiously that they fail to sense the
value of exceptions to the rule. 1t Ia
bad policy, for instance. to wait at an
intersection with the car in low gear
and the clutch held out. If the foot
slips the car may leap ahead and in.
jure a pedestrian. But this precau.
ton is not necessary when the car Is
headed uphill. Should the clutch be
engaged accidentally under such cir.
cumstances the engine would stall.
Beginners. or drivers inclined to be
nervous when on unfamiliar ground.
should remember to stay in second
gear In congested areas. On level
ground no harm will be done to the
engine or clutch by starting In second.

reserves the drivers attention for

Objects to Signing of Treaties
 Before Parliament Votes

Ottawa, June 22 LP)-1t is the de- sire of the Canadian government that the Dominion parliament be asked to approve acceptance of the Locatno pact or any other treaty in volving military or economic expen- allure before it becomes a party to them.
 Premier King in the house of commons yeserday introduced mo- ton to this effect, and the house adopted it without division. The motion said:
 Before his majesty's Canadian ministers advise ratification of a treaty or convention affecting Can ada, or signify acceptance of any treaty, convention. or agreement in- volving military or economic sane lions, the approval Of the parIia- ment Of Canada should be secured.
 The premier intimated that the Locarno treaties would be discussed next October by the imperial con- ference. The Canadian government has not yet signified acceptance Of these agreements, and Mir. King said he desired to bring out very clearly to the house that his gov ornment. regardless of what dcci- sions might be reached, would take the position that Canada's assent should be secured before ratification takes place.
