PROTECTION OF SPARE TIRE
Ahvttys use a tire cover to protect
the spare from the suit and rain.
The spare tire should be put into
sctvicc at frequent intervals to keep
the rubber from hardening. 11 tt i•
kept out of use too long it loses 0s
elasticity. Put a rubber band in a
box or drawer and tallow it to remain
for several weeks, particularity 1l•1:•-
ing hot weather, and it deterior••
ares rapidly. A tire will do the oanle
thing
CLEAN OUT OLD GREASE
Front wheel bearing get their
lubricant frons the httb caps. While
the supply of grease in these units
may be considered adequate. its con-
dition s a point that merits atten-
tion. If the lubricant is silvery in
color, the fact is an indication that
it is filled with rust and fillings. In
such a case, it should be changed
without delay, for these substances
play havoc with the lubricating qual-
ities of the grease.
TIGHTENING PAYS DOUBLE
Keeping the 'body bolts tight hate
an advantage other than that it
serves to eliminate troublesome
noises and wear, If the bolts are
taken up regularly, it means that
they are not allowed to become so
rusty that the nuts cannot be turn-
ed on them. It does not pay to al-
low ,this task to remain undone
over a long period, for when tine
motorist gets around to it he prob-
ably will find that many of the bolts
will have to be replaced or allowed
to remain loose.
WORTH REMEMBERING
One of the first essentials in keep-
ing the ear in efficient working order
is regular and systematic inspection
noir1 lubr rrttion. A thorough inspec-
tion should be trade once a month,
and it systematic inspection should
be trade every moaning before tak-
ing the eau from the garage. This
daily inspection should include such
things as the amount of water in the
ook
radiator, sufficient water int the bat-
tery, gasoline supply, engine oil and
air in tires. Monthly inspection
should bud ade wheel alignrn^nt,
hearing clutch, valve and gear ad-
justments, brakes, tires, battery, cool-
ing system electrical syetem tight-
ening of bolts, tattles -in fact, every
part of the car.
TO PLACE RiMS ON WHEELS.
There 0 a right and a wrong way
to place rims on wheels, and a riglt
and wrong was to tighten the bolts
that hold. the lugs. When replac-
ing a rim, have the valve hole at the
top of the wheel and see that the
valve stem is exactly in the centre of
the hole, Put all the bolts and
lugs on. Tighten up one lug, and
then tighten the other lug opposite
it. Do not tighten the lugs in regu-
lar order, as this may throw the ring
ottt of true on the wheel After the
tire and riot are replaced spin the
wheel to see if it is running true.
PROPER TEST FOR BAT,ERY..
The hydrometer is used to test the
specific gravity or state of charge of
a storage battery. These directions
should be followed:
Remove vent plugs from cells.
Compress bulb of syringe hydrom-
eter.
Insert small soft rubber tubs
through vent hole into electrolyte.
Release bulb until sufficient sola-
tion is drawn into the tube to entice
the hydrometer float to rise.
With the syringo in vertical posi-
tion, so that the float does not toach
sides of tube, specific gravity read-
ing is taken on scale at level of
solution.
Compress bulb and allow electro-
lyte to run back into the sante c.111
from Which it was taken.
Replace vent plugs.

The Carpet agger
vs.
The Local Printer
Many business men, when considering the cost of
any particular job of printing, look only at the small
sum they may be able to save at the time on any ord-
er. They fail to ask themselves what the carpet -bag-
ger leaves with them throughout the year as compared
with the local publisher and members of his staff. He
also seems to forget that he and his fellow business
men would get more of their printing requirements
done in their home town the pnblisber might be able
to employ additional help, which would still further
swell the amount of money to be spent in the home
town.
Always remember 1 A dollar spent with a firm in
a distant town is gone forever so far nes its service to
the community is concerned. A dollar spent with
other firms in the home town stays there/and performs
many good services in its own community. Get your
