CLEANING SPARK PLUGS �Ia - SPARES.
An excellent method of cleaning ! Every motorist should carry a few
mica spark plugs, or in fact any mica
object, is to wash them in a 10 -per
cent, solution of acetic acid, which is
an infallible solvent for grease and
carbon deposits. The plugs should
then be washed off with gasoline and
usually dried by rubbing with a hand-
ful of waste or a cloth.

the useful ones most frequently used:

While the usual mediums for pie

lac and graphite, it is possible to use
beeswax in this connection with very
satisfactory results. The rims should
be heated slightly with a blow torch
and the beeswax should be rubbed on
while they are still warm.

Tubes should be rolled flat with

s
strip of cotton flannel rolled up with
a tube is excellent. The roll should
then be placed in a thick cloth bag
with the mouth of the bag tied a-
round the stem. It is a good plan to
dust talcum powder in the bag.
BATTERY ACID RUINS GLOVES
It is possible to ruin the best pair
of gloves if used to replace caps out
the top of the battery, where water
and acid have collected. A mass of
Boles will appear in the leather, due
to the strong chemicals. Acid that
gets on the hands during the process
will not injure the skin. It will be
well, however, to wash the hands
thoroughly after the job is finished.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
A great many owners snake the
imstake of adjusting the carburetor
when the engine is told. I'c is always
best to make adjustments to the en-
gine when it has been run long en-
ough to get thoroughly warmed
through, and this applies equally to
the valve 'canpets, etc. It is quite
possible that the cold engine may op-
erate very well on certain adjust -
mints that will not agree at all with
the hot engine.
TO REFILL VACUUM TANK
The simplest way to refill the
vacuum tank that has become dry
without leaving the driver's seat is to
turn off the ignition and throttle
down, then step on the starter and
turn the engine over a dozen times.
This creates sufficient 'vacuum to
draw gas from the gas tank to the
vacuum tank and fills it up ready to
go as soon as the ignition and gas
are turned on again.
TESTING WHEELS
Every ear owner ought to make it
a practice to testi the wheels for side
play at least three or four tinges a
year. Side play performs a doubly,
vicious role, for it causes excessive
bearing wear and 'tire wear as well.
3ack up each cahoot in turn and grasp
it firmly, push and pull it and any
side motion will be readily apparent,

shafts may be out of alignmen'c,
bearings may be badly worn or bro-
ken, or there may be chips from in-
jured teeth in the case. Whatever
the cause it should be run down and
eliminated.
The best way to avoid shocks when
cutting across railroad tracks and,
ocher obstructions in the road is to
drive over the ridges diagonally
whenever possible.

the car stops is an indication
that something is wrong in the fuel
