Limited The Car Owner's Scrap -Book (By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench) WATCH INSTRUMENT BOARD Watching the oil gauge on an in- strument board, the ammeter and the oil level in the crank case should be made a habit, for it is easy to run low on crankcase oil and distilled battery water without realizing it. and oil pressure without realizing it. and the oil pressure sometimes needs adjusting. - 'BRAKE MUST BE PERFECT Bad brake adjustment will wear the tires out in no time at all, and this may result in a bent front axle. If one front brake is tighter than the other and pressure is applied quickly in an emergency, the front axle is subjected to a twisting strain which even the toughest steel cannot resist. NOISY VALVES Impro; eely adjusted valves will cause the engine to run unevenly and also give less power and mileage. Adjust valves to proper clearance. Be sure however, not to get the val- ves too tight as this will cause lack of power. Always have the valves free and all of them of the sumo clearance. This adjustment usually will suffice to produce, smoother run- ning and put more pep into the en- gine. INSTALLING NEW TIMING GEARS In the installation of a new set of tinting gears, it is imperative that thee relative positions of the crankshaft and crarnshaft be absolutely preserv- ed, in order that the timing remain unchanged. One method of achiev- ing this result is to leave the old of anchoring the two shafts is to wedge the flywheel so it cannot turn. The stiffness of the new gears makes the task more difficult, TO STOP DRAUGHTS IN CARS The strong circulation of air fell by occupants on the back seat of au enclosed car is always a discomfort, especially when one is susceptible to colds. This draught may be traced , to an opening between the glass and frame of the rear windows, and then circulating behind the upholstery , and; then circulating behind the up- holstery and coming out at the join- ! ing of the back and side lesions of the upholestery..This condition may be remedied by a generous suffering , of rags in the corners of the ear be- hind' the upholstery.

The air cleaner, oil filter, and crankcase ventilator ,are three im• portant devices that reduce wear and increase the life of an engine. Tire inflation has a marked influ- ence on ease of steering and brake equalization. Check tikes weekly. If the electrical system becomes faulty, see that the terminal leads are tight and the grounded wire makes a good clean contact. The clearance between the 'piston and its snug -fitting cylinders must not vary more than five thousandths of an inch, or about one-third the thickness of a butterfly's wing. The green deposit which some- times forms around the terminals of the battery indicates a slight leak in the sealing compound, which should be closed up. In the meantime, clean the terminals thoroughly and cover with cup grease to prevent further icorrosion. te VERY SIMPLE LEN=GTHENING LIFE OF CAR One of the greatest costs the mo• tor owner faces is that of deprecia- tion. Aside from bad driving, which includes undue ripping of gears and bumping into telephone poles and other people's car's, the' road surface over which the car is driven has most to do with its premature death. The normal :life of a car depends upon the treatment given it by the owner, which indirectly has to do with the highways over which he drives.

Mainly, he worried about fire, Suppose sparks or flying embers from some nearby fire lodged on the roof. Suppose, while he worked in the city, his summer cottage became a prey to flames! The very idea made him shudder -- not the thought of, losing his cottage, but the danger to his family. Finally Mr. Bremner did a very sensible thing. He reduced the fire hazard in his summer cottage by roof- ing it with Brantford Asphalt Slates. He thus not only recovered his peace of mind, but immeasurably beautified his summer home as well. - )ilii -�'' .-••''..._s Hundreds of owners .of summer homes are this year following Mr. Bremner's example. They, are roofing their cottages with Brantford Asphalt Slates because Brantford Asphalt Slates combine distinguished beauty and permanence with the utmost in fire and weather protection. Sparks and flaming brands from a nearby fire die out harmlessly on their slate- • coated .surface. They are vigilant guardians of your home the year around—the months you live in it and the months you are away. Write for booklet "Beauty With Fire Protection",—an authoritative treatise on the type, style, design and colour for your roof. 1 s Brantford Roofing Co., Limited, Head Office and Factory, Brantford, Om.

The progress with the Indians as on reserves in the' three Prairie Prov- inces toward a position of self sup- port and Andependenee is one of gratifying features of the work of the Department of Indian Affairs. In farming and cattle raising theee wards of the government have dur- ing recent years, scored conspicuous successes and the prosperous con- ditions prevailing on western res- erves are reflected in the improved mode of living. New house: are springing up on all the reserves at the annual rate from 350 to 100. These are of log and frame construc- tion with et least six windows pro • - t-iding ample light and venttitation. Well kept gardens are laid out near many of these homes while match cows, flocks of poultry, and Ings pre not uncommon sights in the barn- yards. The improvement in home life on the reserves is due in a rarer meas- ure to a training received by the young Indian woman in the boarding schools maintained by the Depart- ment. In these they learn among other things the principles of domes- tic science and hygiene. At one time it was a difficult matter to make the Indians realize the value of milk as a food for themselves and their children to get them to milk their cows. However, a graduel change development fo gardening is anoth, r l gratifying feature of the Indian pro -1 gress and last year nearly •350 acres] were sown to vegetables. In the matter of hygiene, the De- partment of Indian Affairs makes 1 every effort to encourage good prac- tice. Where the wives and mothers! are school graduates, the value of; sanitary conditions is fully realized, I and among the older Indian women • work of the travelling nurses and field matron: is gradually hearing fruit for travelling nurses are eon- stantly on the road visiting Indian hones on the various reserve: in tee West, instructing the women how ti (live end how to care for their ch 11,1- 1 ren. This: eet•t•iee is supplemented by Ithe work of a stats' of field matrons who make frequent visits to give any advice and assistance needed by the native women. The care of the aged is also partic- ular responsibility of the Department and officers on the reserves provide food, clothing; and homes for indi. gent member.; of the bands. During the last thr,', years the policy of the Department has been to discourage es many old Indians as possible to live in, teepees are usually large and well ventilated and the old Indians are greatly benefited in health by this practice of living in these airy summer hahitattone. ) sopaamermamomeasen ereteeeeeeeee CAMERON R.
