When checking the fluid level and the drive belts, check the hoses that con- nect the pump to the other components in the system. Hoses should be firm and free of cracks. Connections should be tight and leak-free. Leak- age from hoses and con- nections in the system is the major cause of fluid loss, the main cause of power steering failure, How to tell How can you tell if your power steering system needs attention? Usually the first sign is either an unusual noise (squealing, chattering or knocking sound) or a change in the "feel" of your steering (sluggishness, jerkiness or a tendency to pull to one side). If any of these symp- toms occur, get your power steering system checked; early attention can pre- vent big problems later. TUNE-UPS SAVE GAS. Bring your car in for our expert engine tune-up.

Recipe for gasoline The most efficient recipe for saving fuel concerns • both the condition of the car and the attitudes of the driver, says Olaf George William Fersen, German auto- motive authority, who recommends the following to readers of this supplement. He holds that if carefully applied, the recipe may well mean a fuel saving of up to 20 percent. FOR THE CAR 1. Low rolling resist- ance. This means mainte- nance of the prescribed tire presure, brakes that do not bind or grind and well adjusted, free-moving wheel bearings. * * * 2. Correct adjustment of carburetor and igni- tion. Clean air filter ele- ments and maintenance of a sufficiently high engine temperature (low temper- attires increase fuel con- sumption). * * * FOR THE DRIVER 1. Gentle driving, espe- cially when starting from rest and early shifting in- to the next-higher gear. If transmission is auto- matic, make it shift up- wards at low speeds and use the kickdown sparing- ly. Brake gently. Remem- ber: high engine revs need more fuel and a lot of economy energy will be wasted by high braking. * * * 2. Select your speed ac- cording to the developing traffic situation. If lights are red, don't rush up and brake, but let the car roll gently, so when the lights change, you can accelerate without changing gear. * * * 3. Every car has a "most economical" speed range. Usually around 50 mph. Keep it to that speed wherever possible. Never "pump" on the acceler- ator. This squirts raw fuel into the engine — at your cost. Driving at changing speeds is un- economical — driving at a steady speed saves fuel. A power steering system is considerably more com- plex than a non-power system, But most power steering maintenance can be accomplished by the motorist or his service mechanic, and special tools usually are not re- quired. The heart of a power steering system is a hy- draulic pump that supplies the pressure to the wheels when you turn the steer- ing wheel. Power steering pumps rarely break down as long as you make sure they have the proper amount of power steering fluid to do the job. Peri- odic checking of the fluid level is usually all that is necessary for regular maintenance, Cheek 'belt Another item to check periodically is the belt that connects the pump' to the engine. If this belt should break, your entire power steering system will
