Also be sure your car has some
foolproof identification marks so you
can tell it positively when, and if, it
is located. Motor and serial num-
bers can be changed. Put a special

where the thief won't think to look.
Mechanic Joe Speaking:
1T always makes an impression
on a customer when I remove parts
from the car and test them on the
workbench. but that isn't always the
best way to find out what's wrong.
The fuel pump is a good example.
1t should be checked on its own
engine. I do this by disconnecting
the. line from the gas tank and then
connecting vacuum gauge to the
pump. There should be IL inches
reading for small pumps, Is for
larger ones, with the engine running
a little above idling speed. If the
reading is uneven the indications
are that there are leaky pump valves
or a bad diaphragm. This is also
tFo right conclusion to reach If the
pump won't hold vacuum when
stopped"
Toward Better Steering.
While it is important to keep tire
pressure up so as to avoid excess
sive tread wear and the sort of
spotty wear that quickly unbalances
the tires, we must bear in mind that
If there is not enough front wheel
traction with the road the car will
have greater tendency to wander.
1t will also be more difficult to hold
to straight course in the wind.
Highly crowned roads also will pre-
sent special difficulties To avoid
all this it is we'll to keep pressure
at a point where you can feel the
road. This actually will be a pres
sure representing a compromise be-
| tween extremes.
One for the Book.
Don't expect the car to steer quite
as well on trip as it does around
town if the rear end is heavily
loaded down with luggage. There is
rearward tilt which changes the
caster of the front wheels. Oddly
enough, if the car has not been
steering too we'll around town, it
may actually improve on the long
trip just because that caster change
may be what it takes to bring front
end alignment back to normal. 1t
is well to carry the rear tires under
higher pressure when the rear is
loaded. This will help lessen the
rearward sag.

BY Frederick C.. Russell.
It's a problem indeed when a car
runs perfectly but the gas mileage
continues disappointingly low. In
a situation like this one is naturally
reluctant to experiment too freely or
to order major repairs, for constant
ly there is the reminder to leave we'll
enough alone. Faced with this
dilemma I would proceed to try dif-
ferent brands Of gasoline, the theory
being that I may be able to find one
that is better suited to the carbu-
rotor. Next I would make sure that
the cover on the float chamber Of
the carburetor is tight. If air enters
here 1t will cause fuel to vaporize too
freely.
would also be suspicious Of the
ignition timing, II the car ran too
smoothly in high gear at low speed.
When my car runs down to 5 miles
per hour in high as smoothly as if it
were coasting I get busy and have
timing advanced. Another thing to
suspect is the odometer. Have 1t
checked.
Finally, I would give my driving
habits a careful checkup. Much gas
can be saved in gear shifting, and
all tests show that gas mileage goes
steadily downward as speed IN
creases.
Will Yours Be Next?
Worlds fairs and the many other
attractions that make people want
to 60 places in big way have helped
accelerate the return of that old
problem of preventing cars from
being stolen. Many of the stumbling
blocks to successful theft of cars
seem suddenly to have disappeared
into thin air as the theft rate starts
upward again. Chief aid to the
thief is the habit motorists have of
thinking 1t isn't necessary to lock
up the car-that today's laws make
1t too difficult for any one to try to
dispose OF stolen car.
But what of the youth who just
wants car to get somewhere in a
hurry? You'll get back your car in
due course after much expense, and
1t probably will be badly abused
And what of the professional thief
who drives off, changes the plates
and sells his loot to some sap who
can't resist the temptation to get a
fine car for practically nothing?
Confessed thieves say that cars
are more vulnerable If the licenses
are easily removed. That's a good
argument in favor of using frames or
OF having the brackets equipped
with motor club emblems or any,
thing to make quick shift Of plates
more difficult. Locking the car ism t
