Watch Battery

A look at the battery may save you
ignition troubles later on when you
start on trip. If the terminals are
corroded scrape them off and rub
them with a piece of ammonia
soaked cloth. Once week during
warm weather, test the battery with
a hydrometer and keep sufficient dis
titled water III it.
Take off the distributor head and
with a piece of cloth wipe out any
dust or dirt thai may have collected.
The contact breaker points should
be inspected to see that the points
are not pitted and the gap is correct.
If your car is equipped with an oil
purifier, it would be best to look at
the filter, as there may not be one
left if you haven't looked at it for
the last few thousand miles. And
even though you have been changing
oil during the winter, it would be
best to start out the spring driving
on fresh, pure oil, as the best of
purifiers cannot keep out all dirt
from the oil.

Check Springs

The springs are one of the most
neglected parts of a car. They are
generally covered with mud and dirt
and are seldom fabricated. Many
spring breaks are due to loose clips;
keep them tight Another cause of
spring breaks is lack of fabrication
between the leaves of the springs.
To do this, first clean thoroughly
with gasoline and stiff brush.
Loosen the clinps and work graphite
grease in between the leaves, and
then tighten the clips.
Do you keep tires properly IN
flated? Under-inflation is one OF the
chief causes of tires wearing out be-
fore their full mileage value is OBJ
tanned. Changing tires around will
result in longer tire life and better
all-around service. And change the
spare tire from time to time as 1T
deteriorates faster hanging on the
rear than when in use.
Look over all your lights and make
sure they work properly and are ad-
justed at the right angle. Make GER
tain your spotlight is working as it
may save YOU a bad bump in the
rear.
After all this has been done, your
car should be in a much better run
ming condition for that spring trip
you have planned for one OF these
week-ends, and for your summers
irving.

SLIDING DRAWER
DODGE FEATURE
Coupe, Roadster Adapted to
Commercial Uses.

Dodge Brothers standard coupe or
roadster can now be purchased with
a sliding drawer which permits ready
adaptation to commercial and other
uses, announced +. L. Sanford, local
Dodge dealer.
The telescoping drawer, made of
steel with all joints electrically
welded, is built into the rear of the
two types of cars and can be pulled
out to provide additional space Tor
carrying various articles. Adjust
able to three locking positions, its
unique design makes it particularly
we'll suited for the photographer,
plumber, paper hanger and others
whose work necessitates carrying
tools and special equipment of extra
length. On hunting, fishing and
camping trips the drawer can be of
great use. When closed it is dust
and rain proof. Equipped with a
nickel plated pull-to handle, it is fin
is1ed in lacquer to match coupe or
roadster deck.
Because the tire carrier when
mounted in it's normal position at
the rear would interfere with the
sliding drawer, the spare tire is
mounted on the left side of the car,
well forward to permit ready open
ing of the door on the drivers side.

Drain Radiator

After being filled with alcohol or
glycerine during the winter months
the radiator needs a thorough clean
ing out. Drain off the water, MOTTO
ing how many gallons it holds, and
then mix one pound of washing soda
to every gallon of water. Drive the
car for day with the solution, and
then disconnect the bottom hose con-
nection and allow the dirty water to
dtain out. Take a hose with good
pressure and let the water run
through until it comes out clear and
clean. Watch your hose connec-
tons, and when they begin to peel
off the outer skin put on new ones,
as this is a sign that the rubber in
side is rotten. The fan belt should
be looked at once a month and kept
properly adjusted
Is your gasoline tank clean? To
clean it, remove the drain plug and
draw off all the gasoline. This will
carry off with it all water and sedi-
ment that has settled in the tank.
And make certain that the small hole
in the filler cap is clear. The car

changed as the rich mixture needed

Running Gear

Running Uear
= After winters driving through
slush, ice and bad roads, the steer
ing gear probably needs attention.
Keep it and all connections well
fabricated as they are subjected to
heavy road shocks and vibration.
The front wheel bearings should be
creased and the hub caps packed
with heavy grease. Test the align
ment of your wheels as your tire
mileage depends to a great extent on
this.
Brake adjustment should be made
once a month. If they take hold
unevenly it may result in a bad skid
and a serious accident. Keep all
break connections well fabricated
so that they work freely. If they
slip or refuse to hold properly after
adjusted, the Innings are either worn
out or covered with oil and grease.
To clean them, remove the wheels
and scrub the Innings with a stiff
brush and gasoline,

THOROUGH SERVCING is Spring TONIC YOUR CAR NEED
Here Are Pointers for Rem
edying Neglect of Win
ter Months.

At this time of the year doctors
advice on getting the body into run
ming condition for the spring and
summer would be to eat plenty Of
fresh green foods and perhaps take
a tonic. This, too, is the time when
your automobile should be put into
running condition for the strenuous
driving of the summer months, but
since it cannot be fed on lettuce and
spinach, why not treat it to some, If
not all of the services which mean
tonic for the automobile?
Probably so per cent of all engine
doubles are caused by defects in the
ignition system. If you have noticed
your engine being hard to start. or
misfiring on a hard pull, look at
your spark plugs, to see if they need
cleaning or the gaps need adjusting.
One of the best ways to clean them
is to sack them in a mixture of alco-
hol and kerosene all night, then in
the morning>the carbon can be wiped
off with a piece of rag. Never use
emery cloth or sandpaper to clean
the porcelain. The average gap al
lowed is just a trifle less than the
thickness of a worn dime for all cars
but Fords, when the gap should be
the full thickness of q well-Worn
dime

TEAMMATES OF

Another Hearing Set For Fri

Expected to Testify

Chicago, Jan. 6-(P)--"S wede" Ris-

terday and heard 26 of his former
piaymatcs give him the lie.
For hours he sat within arms
reach of men who used to sit beside

him of the l917-1920 White Sox; yet
he heard no word of greeting, no
hello, Swede,' nor received any nod
Of recognition.
Once he was called a pig" and
more than once he was denounced as
a liar. But he stuck to his story.
For one hour he sat on the witness
stand and rccited his story Of four

an American League pcnnant for
Chicago.
For four hours he stood leaning

Fourteen Knew of Pool
Thirteen of those who told their
story to the missioner yesterday
acknowledged either contributing to
or receiving part of the $1,000 which
was raised among the White Sox for
the Tigers. A fourteenth had knowl-
edge of the pool, but bad no part in
it. This fourteenth player was

Those who told Lands they con-
tributed to, or had knowledge Of the
pool, were: Eddie Collins, Ray
Schalk, Clarence Rowland, Red Fa-
Der, John Collins, Harry Leibold, Joe
Benz, Red Russell. Jourdan and Buck
Weaver. Members of the Tiger team
of 1917 who said they got share of
the pool were: George Dause, Oscar
