If It's been a long time, take It off the back end of your car and give It some service. Too much rest is harmful to It. • • • Where castellated nuts and cotter pins are not supplied In automobile construction, well-tempered split wash ers may be plated under the heads of the bolts to keep them from rattling loose. • • • The car owner who Intends to do any repainting work will do well to see that all exposed oil holes are stuffed with felt or waste to prevent their being painted over and so choked. • • • A good way to prevent oil leaking out of the crank case through the bolt holes is to back off the studs a quar ter of an inch or so. and then wind aeveral turns of cotton twine around the bolts. « • * • Don't use gasoline to clean leather unless you want to crack It.

The danger of animals becoming polsonud through the careless use of poison material when spraying or ¡wilt ing for insects, is pointed out by offi cials at the Ohio Experimental sta tion, Wooster.

This condition Is not only uo- comfortable for the passengers hut It Is detrimental to the car. says a writer tn Chicago Tribune. The ordinary garage mechanic—1 mean the “gyp" sort—usually cannot make a proper diagnosis, and he cures the trouble only after he has taken the car half apart. If your car bucks, and you cannot determine the cause after read ing this article. have a competent service man drive the ear. A car tn perfect mechanical condi tion throughout will throttle down to five or four or even three miles an hour and pull evenly, but let there be misfiring and Immediately the whole car starts to jerk. The misfiring so re duces the power of the engine and pro duces such lapses In the power Im pulses that the car must naturally run with a jerky motion. This applies to all care, whether new or old. When ever the engine cannot develop enough power to pull Its load It falters just as a horse will tighten and then permit slack in the traces.
