IT'S FLATTERING

He'll probably be fiattered to
have you watch him do his job,
and will do it better-and maybe
you'll learn more about your car
in the process. Lots Of men we
know get out every time that hood
goes up. There is something fas-
cinating under that metal canopy.
OF course you don't have to carry
this mOtOr-peering to extremes
and start' your own repair shop.
But bear the following in mind
when you 60 gasoline tr0tting in
the future:
Check the oil. This is where the
dip-stick comes in. Your gasoline
attendant should show you the
cars oil level on the dip-stick. This
is how you read it: The level
should be between the "add-oil'
mark and the full" mark. If the
level drops below the add oil'
mark, add only one quart Of oil.

TIRES ma. 100

Check the tires at least once a
week for signs of small breaks and
for proper pressure. Your dealer
will tell you what pressure is best
for your particular tires, but it
averages out in most to about "a
pounds when they are cool and q
pounds after they have been roll
ing awhile. Never let air out Of
tires Immediately after q long
journey, though, as tires are built
today to stand expansion. Just be
sure that they are properly in
fiated when moderately cool, and
you'll be safe.
Periodic rotation to different
wheels helps all four tires plus the
spare to wear evenly. This should
be done at every 5000 miles.
More complete serVicing Of your
car is done when it is fabricated
This is every 1000 miles or once
a month.

8. As much as a per cent reduc-
ti0n IN water heating bills. Soft
water brings this benefit by elimi-
mating hard water scale. which Isl
formed when hard water Is heated.
Hard water scale, which if found
inside water heaters, pipes, and
tea kettles, acts as an insulator
reducing efficiency ID water heat
ing. Such scale has the insulating
qualities Of frebrick.
4. Reduced plumbing and main
tenance repairs, depending upon
the amount Of water used. and type
Of equipment Hard water scale
can plug up heater coils and hot
water piping. necessitating replace
ment or expensive professional
scale removal. Hard water scale
accumulates in water heaters as
water is heated
Thus. more heat must be applied
to heat water, and heat is cOncen-
trated on the metal Of the heater
rather than being transferred inn
mediately to the water This con-
Il IcentratiOn Of heat can then cause
I premature heater burn-Out which
7 actually does occur to 10000 water
heaters weekly in this country
Hard water curd causes addition
lal problems by coating dishes and
1 eating utensils and the skin and
hair. Mr.. Clements reported that
hard water curd can harbOr poten-
TALLY dangerous bacteria for az
long as two weeks. This can be the
+ source Of infection
/ It's possible to have a complete
supply Of soft water in the home
/ by securing soft water service. This
is comparable to telephone service
A water conditioning expert pro
vides a sOftener for a modest
monthly charge and exchanges Il
on regularly scheduled intervals
for a regenerated one. The home
maker has no big initial expense in
equipment and is relieved of al
responsibility for maintaining anC
/ Fegenerating the unit.
SOfteners are also sold OutFigh
on an OWner-service plan Whicl

OILS EXPENSIVE

The level should be watched
quite closely, because if it goes
over the full mark, the oil is likely
to be wasted. 1t churns around in
there and leaks out. Oil is just too
expensive for that sort Of thing.
Yet too little is dangerous, because
the function of the oil is to keep
the wearing surfaces Of the engine
smoothly fabricated, and lack of
oil may ruin it. You should see
that the oil is kept clean, too. A
filter is helpful for this. If your car
has one, remember that these fl
ters also need periodic changing
(every 5000 miles) as they become
filled with the dust and dirt they
remove from the oil.
Check radiator water. This is inn
portant. The water is circulated
from the radiator through a "jaa-
ket" surrounding the engine. It
keeps the engine (Which often gets
as hot as 1000 degrees in the COM
bustion chamber) cooled down to a
mere 100 degrees or so. That is, as
long as you keep enough water
in it.
Check the battery. This one too
is primarily a water problem. Each
cap should be removed to see that
the water is at the proper level
Normally, the battery should be
checked about every two weeks
but in hot weather or while you
are on long trip, have it checked
every week.
