Of getting better service from it
should 1t merely all. Mechanics
are constantly finding new tricks
that put feeble pumps back into
fair health again.
'One trick is to save the old dia-
phragm, cut q hole into its center
and use it as a combination SHIN
and washer under the new dia-
phragm. Where insufficient fuel
delivers to the carburetor because
OF wear on pump parts there are
ways Of shinming so that the pump
arm provides better leverage"
Quicker Pulling Out.
Pulling away from a parking space
can be greatly simplifled by remem-
bering that it is important to keep
the rear right tire from jamming
against the curbing. Here is the
correct way to do the job:
Back up straight as far as you
can 60. Then cut the front wheels
as far to the left as they will 60,
moving the car just enough to make
1t easy to turn the steering wheel.
Then back up while cutting the
front wheels all the way to the
right. The front end of the car
will then swing out farther away
from the curb and the rear end
will not be so likely to jam against
the curb because Of having started
the pull-away from the extreme
rearward position. The chances are
that the car will be ready for the
traffic stream when you pull forward
again.
Two Jobs in One.
Gear clashing in starting can be
avoided by making fuller use Of
the rule about declutching while
cranking the engine. Press the
clutch pedal to the floor, slip the
gears into low and then press the
starter button. Not only will the
engine start more quickly, because
Of relieving the starter motor and
battery of the extra load of turning
over the gears, but you will not have
to add the process of shifting into
low or reverse. The car is all set
to go the instant the engine starts.
Follow the Leader.
Newcomers at the wheel would
be less nervous in close traffic if
they realized that in this type of
driving there are fewer chances of
making serious mistakes. You're
merely following the leader. You
can't turn too far to the right
because you'd sideswipe another car.
To your left there are cars coming
in the opposite direction. You do
not worry about traffic regulations
because you stop when the crowd
stops, and run along at the speed
the others are going. All this is in
glaring contrast to your driving
when alone on the road, because
the fewer cars there are to serve
as guides, the more you are on your
own. 1t is lack of experience that
traps most newcomers into Iapses
of judgment.
I may be all wrong about this, but

NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
Suggestions Those Who Use CoWeaher Protection and to
Car Owners Who Desire Rubber Lubricant

Many q motorist who knows well
enough that water should be added
to the radiator only when the en-
gine is warmed up promptly makes
the mistake Of filing the radiator
to the top with anti-freeze and wa
ter when going through the usual
cold weather protection process at
this time Of year. Just this one
slip accounts for q lot Of trouble.
For instance, he may take a look
into the radiator to see If the level
has dropped, reasoning that drop
will be a gentle warning of leak
age in the cooling system. OF
course, the level will have dropped
because, as soon as the coolant
warns up, 1t will expand and drive
the excess out the overflow. So
the owner goes to the trouble of
checking over all the connections
and gaskets again. He may be
tempted to tighten something too
much, or disturb the water pump
packing in an unnecessary effort to
check leakage that does not exist.
To make matters worse he may
fill up the radiator again, repeating
the effort of adding coolant while
the engine is cold, in order to OBJ
serve matters q second time. Each
encore simply wastes anti-freeze.
Uses for Rubber Lubricant.
Merely mentioning the fact that
there are today special lubricants
which do a good job Of oiling rub
ber parts of the car probably i'm
presses the average owner as some
thing that at least solves the prob
lem Of taking squeaks out of rub
Der spring shackles. He was told
that ordinary lubricant would ruin
rubber parts, so worried along with
the squeaking. But the new kind
OF lubricant really solves the prob
lem Of the squeaky chassis, because
there are actually II points where
noise can be successfully eliminated
by the process.
Included In the list are the BUSH
ings Of shock absorber arms, sway
eliminator bars, engine and body
mountings, rubber bushings in the
steering column and on the pads
which are used to insulate springs
from the axles. Some cars have
rubber insulations between spring
leaves which can be kept quiet with
the aid of rubber lubricant.
Try this on any metal-to-metal
contacts between the chassis and
the body frame. Also on fan belts
which today are such a source of
noise when the engine first starts.
Knee action units need occasional
greasing to check squeaking where
the coil springs set into their bed
You can also use rubber lubricant
TO free sticky valves and to clean
side walls of tires.
Mechanic Joe Speaking:
while the fuel pump is a tough
problem if it fails altogether when
you're on the road it may be COM
forting to know that there are ways

In Local Bridge Circles
Washington Players Rank High in Bridge
By Frank B. Lord.

Washington ranks high In the
standing Of its players and the num-
Der OF its units III the fast-growing
American Contract Bridge League.
Not only Is James H. Lemon, promi-
nent local expert, president of the
league, but 2l duplicate games are
afhliated with the league, and their
winners receive its scheduled rating
points which are convertible into
master points when enough. of them
are gained.
The LOCAL units are the Agriculture
Bridge Club, the Agricultural Rec
reation Association, the American
Association of University Women,
the Byrne Bridge Club, the Capital
City Chess Club, the Cheeks Bridge
Studio, the Colonial Village Bridge
Club the Fairfax Bridge Club, (now

Grand slams are not so infre-
quent as to be novelties. Almost
every evening, whether the game
Is rubber bridge or duplicate, two
or three will be made, and more
attempted unsuccessfully. Some
times the deal is a laydown for
seven either in no-trump or a suit.
Sometimes the declarer has a long
string of one suit, headed by the
top cards and partner has the nee
essary top cards in other suits to
enable declarer to get discards. An
expert will usually take the chance
Of one flnesse in order to make a
grand slam because of the bonus;
II 1t wins the score is big and If 1t
loses the hand deserved a try.
Five-card suits often make slams
and occasionally a four-card suit, If
the distribution is favorable, but
grand slam in suit where the de-
clarer holds only three is unusual
enough to 60 in the book.
Notwithstanding grand slam
in diamonds was made at a re-
cent duplicate game at the Hotel
Roosevelt where the declarer held
only king, nine and five of that
suit. OF course, nobody except
Daring Doc" Connolly would at
tempt such a feat, but he did and
succeeded. The hands were:

Don't Jam the Brakes.
1t isn't many years back that the
greatest risk in braking was to burn
out the Innings by holding the brakes
on Tor too long a period. Today
the situation is different. You can
get into serious trouble by applying
the brakes too quickly. Sudden ap-
plication may cause one'of the brake
pistons to jam. That will be fol-
lowed by a variety Of troubles with
the hydraulic system. This JAM
ming develops from the habit of as
Stunning that because Of the power
OF hydraulic brakes you can wait
until the last minute before starting
to stop. It would be far better to
spread out your braking, because
modern lining is better able to with
stand longer period of application.
Besides, brakes are of the internal
expanding type. When heated the
drums pull away from the shoes.
This helps to compensate for ex-
cessive use of the Innings, preventing
the Innings from burning out and the
brakes from locking.
The Motor Question Box.
@. At idling speed there is
peculiar noise in the engine Of my
new car. 1t sounds like water or oil
splashing around No evidence of
anything leaking out, and the
engine operates very we'll. Have
you any idea what this should be-
L. N. M.
A. This could be air leaking into
the intake, probably through loose
manifold gasket. Check over the en-
gine with vacuum gauge.
@. Is it possible for a coil spring
to squeak? My car has knee-action
front wheels. There seems to be
noise in one of the springs, but if
this type of spring can't become
noisy, I'll just keep on searching
elsewhere for the cause Of this
trouble.-K. L. S.
A: The springs themselves can't
become noisy, but there can be fric-
ton and noise in the base where
such a spring rests. 1t is a good
idea to squirt some penetrating Oil
into the bases of the coil springs.
@. What would cause the engine
of my car to skip when climbing
hills? 1t is as if the ignition were
cut off for an instant. Don't get
this when the car is running on the
level, so have ruled out the posi-
bility of the ignition being involved.
Doesn't this sound like fuel pump
trouble?-R S.
A. An odd thing about worn or
badly adjusted breaker points is
that they cause an engine to miss
when under load, as when climbing
a steep hill, while seldom giving
trouble when the car is running fast
on the level. The skipping prob
ably does occur on the level, but the
car has sufficient momentum to fool
the driver into thinking things are
running smoothly.
