Good fabrication, as well as eff
Gent carburetion and ignition, is
needed to keep your car running
well. Motorists are generally aware
of this-up to point. Seldom do
we find one who follows a really
complete lubricating schedule.
Usually overlooked are such i'm
portant parts as the mandrake arm
and cable, the throttle linkage.
steering box and gearshift lever
linkage. The windshield wiper
mechanism and speedometer cable
should be kept fabricated too. The
same holds true for hood, door and
trunk hinges, latches and locks, as
well as the often-neglected venti-
lating window hinges.
No one type Of lubricant can
do all these jobs, of course. The
fabrication chart for your car, how
ever. lists the type required for
each need and the recommends
schedule to follow.

Questions and Answers

"When listing some Of the
reasons for poor gas mileage,
1 notice that you mention front
wheel miSalignment. Can you
make this more clear-in other
words, how can miSaligned front
wheels make a difference in miles
per galIOn?"-H.B.
When the front wheels are out
of line, they will actually be drag
ging sideways, if only slightly. Thus,
a greater effort is required from
the engine to propel the car
forward
"Since gas tank condensation
can cause drops of water to get
into the gas lines and freeze,
I've been told to put in small
amount of alcohol every time 1
fill up the tank. Wouldn't anti
freeze be better?"-PP.
Don't use antifreeze: it will real
ly gum up your engine. Pure alco-
hol or one of the commercial water
absorbing products sold by your
service station will eliminate frozen
gas lines. Keeping the gas tank
well filled during winter will min
imize condensation.
Il own 1854 convertible. There
are no holes or rips in the fabric
top but it's worn, stained and
faded looking. Is there a special
paint available with which could
refinish the top and help preserve
it?"-C. F.
Auto supply stores sell tough plas-
tic waterproof coatings which are
especially formulated for convertible
tops. They are easy to apply, will
restore good looks and give new
toughness and fexibility to the top.

yentilote Crawl Space
10 Bar Water Vopor

"Please settle this argument
about the need for ventilation
TO the crawl space under a house.
Leaving the screens in the foun-
dalton wall uncovered makes the
floors cold" w. P. L. writes.
Answer-If IL gallons Of water
poured into your house every day
through q hole in the roof you
would be perturbed about It. If
you live in an average house,
that same amount in the form
Of water vapor will rise up
through the floor from the crawl
space If said crawl space is not
adequately ventilated. So says
one research organization which
has been investigating such
matters.
Tar paper between the sub
door and finished floor win
do no more good than a fish net
to hold back this torrent. which
can be Just as damaging to your
house as the water that descends
through the hypothetical hole in
the roof So don't allow the abb
scence Of a puddle on your floor
or a drip on your pate to lull
you into a sense of complacency.
If you can crawl under your
house and find the earth dust
dry. perhaps you can partly close
the vents with safety. but keep
a close watch and snatch them
open fast II you should ever find
Q trace Of moisture on the soil.
There is a simple way to keep
floors warm and your house dry
and this method is becoming
increasingly popular. The first
phase is to rake level the earth
under the house and then lay
over it a 55-pound surfaced roll
roofing. This roofing must ex-
tend 6 inches UP the walls. and
Adjacent strips must be Tapped
6iinches. All Of these seams must
be sealed with the roofing ce-
ment that Is supplied with the
roofing. When this work Is done,
only 10 per cent Of normal VEN
tnation to the crawl space is
required.
The second phase consists of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-18

insulating the underside of the
floor. Rock wool bats can be
used for this and these are sup
ported on chicken wire tackled
between the floor joists. The
vapor barrier side Of the bats
must be on top. This under floor
insulation is as important as
ceiling insulation for keeping
your house comfortable and re-
ducing fuel bills.

Answer-It can be cleaned
