back into the car.
There is a high percentage of
carbon monoXide in these
vapors. If a service job on the
engine is not performed the
gases can be carried off under
the car by running a flexible
pipe from the oil filler pipe.
This oil filler pipe, however,
must not be capped.
While there is no special
hazard to health in breathing in
an occasional scent of gasoline
the very odor itself is a warning
that there may be leakage of
gasoline around the carburetor
fuel lines, filter or pump.
Sometimes gasoline itself will
be smelly if high in volatility
The way to prove this is to
switch brands for a trial.

Two Ways to Handle
Noisy Front Springs

Ever hear a cracking noise
up front in the car? Have you
suspected a shock absorbel only
to find that you guessed wrong?
If so, perhaps the trouble 8
due to one of the coil springs.
The remedy is to SHIN the ends
so that they can't set up noise.
Sometimes lubricating the coil
seat will check noise.
To do this properly, however,
car weight has to be lifted of
the coils. otherwise the lubricant
can't get to where it will hep.

IF You're Having Car Trouble Try Usinq Your Sense of Smell

verSing the idea any owner can
be on the lookout for those odd
odors which indicate that all is
not normal with the car.
One of the oldest Jokes that
helped make motoring popular
in the old days was the one about
group of little boys playing
automobile.
1t was all in the realm of
imagination. One lad made a
loud racket to indicate he was
the engine. Another boy went
through a lot of motions with
his hands to signify that he was
the gearShift. Various others in
the group played their parts in
the imaginative aSsemblage.
But one little shaver sat in the
curb several feet from the others
looking rather detected. Asked
if he were being left out of the
picture he suddenly smiled and
explained that they had elected
him to be the smell.

Sq0eoIing Belt
On Fan More
Than Nuisance

That squealing fan belt is more
than a nuisance.
Its noise may be something
of swan song for efficiency of
the cooling system. Not always,
but in many cases the noise is
accompanied by slippage.
This slows down the fan and
the water pump. and you know
the rest
Contributing to the trouble is
the temptation to put soap or
grease on the belt to check the
noise This just invites more
slippage.
The answer here is to use belt
dressings or sprayed on solutions
that will not injure the belt.
It's a two-way gain.

Memo: Industry to Dealers

cent bought cars in the last year,
but this was all "walk-in" bust
ness. All bought new cars.
This survey seemed to add up
to this: Statesmen have been
working all right, but they could
have done more. Certainly the
"5 per cent" claim of Detroit did
not appear justified.
Despite the fact that the per-
sonal contacts made by the sales
men were not very fruitful there
was a certain amount of walk
in" business in 1858.
What About 1854?
How about 1854? The final
question in The Stars survey
was: Are you in the market for
a new car in the coming year?"
TWenty-one per cent of the
respondents said yes. Actually,
they said "Yes, but :" in a
NUMBER or ways:
eyes, but they'd have to give
me an awfully good price on my
old car"
"YeS, but the dealers would
have to come down in their
prices; you can buy a battleship
cheaper than car these days"
"Yes, but I'm not going to
pound the streets trying to con-
vince a salesman he ought to
do business with me. I'll wait
till one comes around and we'll
see what he offers me-"
And most frequent was the
more qualified yes, but :"
answer: ...
"Yes, I'd like a new car, but
I don't think I'll really get
around to buying one this year.
Maybe could be sold. however. "
Two Rays of Hope.
In Washington. some statesmen
see two rays of hope for the
coming year.
One is the Government an
nouncement that mass firings of
civil service personnel are at an
end. They credit uncertainty
over jobs in the last half of
1858 with sales slump that left
relatively big inventories in local
warehouses.
The other ray of hope is talk
recently of a pay raise for Gov
eminent employees. Few, if any,
Federal workers will get enough
extra money from a pay raise to
defray the cost of even the
lowest price car.
But. statesmen believe. just a
little louder jingle In the civil
servants pocket will be ter
rife shot in the arm to the
automobile businesS-both new
and used-here in the coming
year.
