Untuned Engines
Hard on Clutches

A point too often overlooked in
the business of trying to be kind
to the clutch is the effect of the
engine on clutch action.
If the engine needs tuning and
is below par, much more gear
shifting will be required. This
always is rough on the clutch.
So also may be too lively en-
gine, unless the driver is careful
to engage the clutch fully rather
than to allow it to slip.
More important is the effect
Of heat on the clutch. The en-
gaging springs will last indefi-
nitely if they are not overheated.
Not too much loss of tension is
needed to call for a replacement;
so avoid engine trouble that
might affect the clutch.

Vary Car Speed
To Identify Noises

Whenever the engine develops
the sort Of noises which are not
easily classified, or which do not
have obvious adverse effect on
the cars performance, it is a
good idea to see what happens
when the car is accelerated or
slowed down.
Don't be rough about this,
however. Just give the motor a
little more gas or allow the car
to slow down so that the motor
brakes the car.
If the noise comes from loose
tappets, or too much tappet
clearance. it will do a disappear
ing act as soon as there Is more
pressure on the moving parts.
Looseness always shows up most
when parts are allowed to move
more freely. It is the same with
checking loose universal joints.

More Power, Less Chrome.
The automobile builders an
swer, along with justif1able
claims of the best production
ever, are up for inspection for
1853. The standard models come
with more power, a slight reduc-
tion in chrome and a far wider
selection in colors and interior
fabrics.
The current show too, goes in
far heavier this year on displays
to show the inner workings Of an
automobile. Cut-away engines,
powered by electric motors, show
all parts moving. BY looking at
full chassis cut away, there's
no question left as to what makes
the wheels go around.
The automobile industry is
still too modest to come out with
the fiat statement that it is in
volved in a horsepower race. The
individual manufacturer merely
builds his engine and then an
nounces he has more horse
power than anybody.
Chrysler. in displaying a
cleaning chrome-and-orange ex-
perimental engine, lets simple
placard announce that it de-
velops 404 horsepower. That, if
you care to remember, is equival-
ent to the power of about 18
Model T Fords.
Few indeed, are the cars on
the Armory floor with less than
100 horsepower.
Not A Drop of Gasoline.

A Few Suggestions
For Cold Weather
Care and Driving
By Corter Walker

It's the tempo of driving that
has to be radically changed for
winter, if motoring is to be eco
nomical and safe.
Those who have found from
experience warn that cold
weather motoring is more than
knowing how to handle skidS,
keeping warm and getting
started without a tow.
Unless there is a complete re-
vision in tempo, the winter route
is certain to be a rough one.
Nor is it just matter Of curb
ing speed. Many a driver finds
he must also curb his impatience
in the seemingly simple business
of starting.
Power skidding is now among
the leading causes of property
damage.
Overtaking another car, quite
the common thing in more IA
vorable seasons, can be highly
dangerous in winter if the road
surface is even slightly slippery.
Many cars have downshifts
which the driver uses by kicking
all the way down on the accel-
orator pedal. Since this is COM
parable to shifting into second
with a conventional transmis-
sion at full engine throttle, the
sudden power to the driving
wheels is certain to start them
spinning. A skid in such a spot
Is a job for an expert.
Use Normal AcceleratiOn.
Drivers who find an opportu-
nifty to pass should be content
with the engines normal accel-
Grafton and not bring underdriVe
or lower gearing into action.
Extreme care also should be
taken in handling the steering
since any sharp veering TO the
left may throw the car into what
is known as a steering skid. This
is the kind where the sudden
turning of the front wheels whips
the rear end. Again it is a mat
ter of changing the tempo. This
kind of skid is not to be confused
with a 'front.' wheel skid which
occurs when a car goes into
curve too fast and the front
tires won't grip enough to change
the cars courses. The car then
drives straight ahead and off rhe
road on the far side of the turn.
Speed Not Whole Story.
But it is hazardous to conclude
that mere reduction in speed is
the key to safeguarding winter
driving. Sometimes there must
be stepped-up tempo. This is
true in checking a skid. The
necessary handling of the steer
ing wheel when the skid warning
is received by the mind calls for
split-second action.
Watch Cars Condition.
One reason so many winter
drivers get into serious difficult
ties is that they fail to consider
the Importance of having the
car itself in safe operating con-
dition.
A common mistake is driving
right out into traffic with a cold
motor. Here the tempo of driv-
ing has to be altered to give the
engine a chance to warm up, for
it isn't trustworthy until it is
running efficiently.
A few stalls during the warm
up process are all part of the
picture because they give the oil
ing system-always sluggish in

Fuel Pump, Not Choke,
Often Cause of StuIIino

If the engine falters and stalls
when you have started it on a
cold day it is natural to suspect
that the automatic choke isn't up
to par. but don't be surprised if
the real culprit is the fuel pump.
An engine is using maximum
fuel when it is being forced to
pull the car in a lower gear while
still cold and during operation
of the choke, and it is under such
conditions that a weak fuel pump
often will fail to supply the nee
ceSsary quantity of gasoline.

sub-zero operation. The 5-w
grade engine oil is now generally
available at automobile dealer
and gasoline service stations
across the country where re-
quired by cold weather.

IdIinq Cor Drinks Cos

An idling motor can use up a
quart of gasoline in two 10-min-
ute stops. When waiting several
minutes, shutting off the engine
is more economical.

Montana peas
Loan More

MONTANA'S II production credit
associations made 1896 loans total
ing $43, 977,O73 throughout 1852, an
increase of $1,917,838 over the pre-
ceding years loan volume, E. E.
Henry, president of the Production
Credit Corporation of Spokane, has
reported.
The Montana associations together
had 6,305 stockholder-members on
Dec. 81, 1852, Henry said. Of these,
4,O85 were holders of "B" stock-that
is, were currently using the service
of the peas.
At the close of business Dec. 81,
1852, the states peas had 2,509
loans outstanding for $17,963, 206.
On the same date in 1851, $15,370,934
in loans were outstanding.
Six of the Montana associations
are now completely member-owned,
Henry said, and the other five have
repaid most of the government
funds in their capital structures and
are nearing the point of member
ownership.

Tbongbts on Life
Material Things
DR.. JOHN w. HOLLAND

in 1910, when Americans went to
stores to buy, there were some $50
different articles offered for sale.
Today, one mail order house has
listed 5000 different articles for
shoppers. One has almost to pinch
himself to believe that this is true.
So the pile of things has increased
to the point where we are thinking
more of our things" than we do of
our thinks"
This multiplying of things to buy
is a part of our sway of life" Even
the toy business is now billion
dollar industry. About our homes
is vast accumulation of gadgets
to keep repaired and in service.
Modern husbands have become a
new order of knights of the Screw
Driver and Pliers"
Much of this is to the good, but
things" can even get in the way
of ideality in home life. The read
ing of serious books is on the wane,
and we turn to picture magazines
that are crowding ideas of great
value from our reading lists.
Seek Ye First ="
I find myself thinking of Christ's
words: 'But seek We first his King
dom, and his Righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto
YOU" The temptation, in making
estimates of human values, is to
ask, what is he worth?" Meaning,
usually, how much wealth does he
control?
Christ told a story about Ser
tain rich man." whose fields brought
forth plentifully. He had no room
to store his goods. He went into a
huddle with himself and decided
that he would tear down his build
ings and build larger ones. "And
will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast
much goods laid up for many years;
take thine ease, eat, drink and be
merry"
The trouble with the man was
that he addressed his soul but was
really talking to his stomach.
Playing the Fool
1t is possible for America to do a
similar thing. Goods are being in
creased, ease and luxury are getting
in their work in certain planes OF
life. We can sing con with the
dance, let joy be unconfined," Of
we can brace our hearts with the
vast and enduring simplicities o.
living. We are playing the fool with
the blessings that other men starved
and b1ed for.
