TO SHIELD HEAD LIGHTS, Follow the Ieader if oncoming head- lights are bothersome at night. Keep as clear as is safely possible to the rear of the ear ahead and the result- ing reflection will give excellent in- direct illumination. The driver of the car ahead takes the glare frim approaching machines,. CORRECT CARE OF TUBES. Tubes should be rolled flat with soft cotton between the layers. A strip of cotton flannel rolled up with a tube is excellent. The roll should then be placed n a thick cloth bag with the stein protruding and the mooch of the bag tied around the stem. It is a good plan to dust talcum powder in thebag. LUBRICATING THE COMMUTA TOR. Grease should not be used for the lubrication of the commutator; cyli- nder oil is the proper lubricant, and it should be sparingly used. This applies to all commutators or ignition distributors. When grease is used in the commutator it is quite likely to prevent the distributor mem from making contact, and an annoy- ing type of ignition trouble ensues. WORTH REMEMBERING Never retard the spark to slow down the speed of an engine. The practice causes carbon formation and puting of valves in addition to placing more work .on ithe engine and causing a waste of fuel. When in the act of slowing down the speed of his engine close the 'throttle, and as the engine speed dies, regulate the spark accordingly. I1 it is de- sired to cut down the speed of a car when in motion, close the throttle, disconnect the engine by means of the clutch and apply the brakes. When proper speed is attained speed up the engine slightly and engage the clutch slowly. Or close the en- gine throttle and allow the car 'to idle along to the speed wanted wi- thout disengaging the clutch. NEGLECT RUINS CAR. Reckless driving will put s. car in the junk pile in short order, but stupidfcy has accounted for many a "slow" wreck of a perfectly reliable machine. The reason is the average driver fails to consider the import- ance of lubrication; Without proper oiling a ear cannot be expected to carry the owner mile after mile along the highways, no matter how good such highways nifty be. Few mo'cor- ists think of proper lubrication. If they have to run their car a few hundred miles during the week, they put it away Saturday night, coati - dent it will stand a long trip Snrday. The result is frequently a break- down, for a car properly oiled and greased will last immeasurably longer 'than one neglected. Wobbly wheels injure the 'tread of tires and wear out bearings. A de- rangement of one degree drags the wheel sideways 920 feet for each 1,000 miles travelled. I.f the ear shows a tendency 'to skid when the four-wheel brakes are applied, try using the holding brakes simultaneously. Often this will co- unteract the unequal adjustment of the service brakes. • SpeciaIAonaniirnnt!
