wheel. Investigation revealed that
the right front brake band was
dragging badly. He was wasting
brake lining, gasoline and oil In an
effort to overcome this resistance.
Also, as he looked back over his
experience he remembered that the
car had a tendency to steer to the
right. Another loss which he was
able to check by his insistNnce
upon having the hub caps look
bright and attractive concerned the
right front tire,
The story Is told of one car owner
who, though knowing nothing at
all about the operation Of hydraulic
brakes, happened to have raised the
hood and noticed that the reserve

As his hand came in contact with
the pump handle he found to his
surprise that 1t was loose.
A few hundred miles Of hard
driving over q rough road probably
would have loosened the plunger
altogether, with the result that the
brakes effectiveness would have
been impaired.

If the gbase had not been cleaned,
he probably would not have noticed
this and would have overestimated
the amount OF lubricant furnished

way of inspecting. 1t. All 'manufac-

gives than TO inspect automatically
while cleaning the car?
An expert in riding comfort says
that, when cleaned the majority OF
springs that look sufficiently lubri-
Gated. in reality are shy of oil and
grease at those points where lubri.
cation IL needed most urgently.
An accumulation of dirt on the
springs hides the real facts from
the car owner. Very often he viIi
squirt oil over the springs without
taking the trouble to clean them.
This Is certain to deceive him still
further because while the combina-
ton of dirt and oil will offer the
spectacle OF a well-lubricated spring
it means that the dirt Is absorbing
all the lubricant and keeping it from
finding Its way to the vital points.
Causes for Accidents
Time and time again motorists
have discovered loose wiring connec.
lions at the head lamps when they
have had no other thought in mind
than to polish the nickel or clean
the lenses.
BY accident alone they run across
these matters that need attention,
but it Is not by accident that they
set, out to clean and polish the car.
Cleanliness Is the starting point, and
it must be a conscious process.
Recently car owner decided that
it would be well to clean underneath
the tenders. The first step was to
wash thoroughly and scrape off with
knife what could not be removed
by soap and water,
This done. he found that there
were a great many rotgh spots.
These he sandpapered down to the
metal and then touched up with
black enamel. The work was simple
enough and he would have been en-
tirely satisfied that he was making
this effort to good advantage had
the net results been nothing more
than the elimination of a little dirt
and rust.
Before he finished the job, how.
ever, he discovered that there was a
crack in the frame. Cleanliness had
led to safety.
Cleanliness also can lead to
closer understanding of the car. 1t
only is when the motorist has the
hood up that he gains first-hand
acquaintance with many interesting
and important details Of construc-
ton. Things that he never may
have noticed he is prone to observe
and TO digest when the facts are be.
fore him so conveniently.
1t is in cleaning that he traces
wires and comes to understand the
theory of ignition.
Through tracing he finds the gen.
orator, the distributor, the relay, the
ignition and many other essential
units Of the electrical system. He
merely may be polishing the units
OF the engine in order to take pride
IN lifting the hood. But, in reality
he is sharpening his wits.
To keep the car clean or to harbor
trouble. That is the question, 1t
may not be generally recognized, but

valuable things in the car owners
