As a matter of fact, the special oil used by tlieue devices Is said to minimize carl) on trouble by keep ing carbon deposit ho soft thut it cannot cause prelgnltion. The theory -of these devices Is that by drawing through the special oil held In a container, rnnugh lubri cation In the cylinders will be pro vided to prevent cylinder wall wear and lo keep the valves from stick ing. Much progress Is displayed In carburetors and allied equipment. tnc proposition Is a dual carbure tor, said to produce remarkable results with certain makes of cars.

It is very Important to keep brake lining free from all foreign mutt em, especially oil, grease, dis tillate, resin, glycerlno or brako compounds. When the lining is made. It Is treated to give a quick stop without grabbing and with a soft application of the brake ped nl. When brakes do not hold, an adjustment will overcome the dif ficulty. If brakes full to hold without the entire weight of the body being thrown ugulnst the pedal, mbkc adjustments. Make them at the wheel and not at the rods, for every tlmo the rod js adjusted the leverage Is changed and morn pressure is required to stop the cur. Judge, sternly: And why had you been drinking??

CHRYSLER F To meet the rapidly Increaslnr demand for Chrysler cars In Kur ope and to Insure adequate service there, the Chrysler sales corpora lion has established a new assem bly and service plant In Antwerp, Belilum, states L. W. Weeks, local dealer, . The new company, to be known as Hoclete Anonyme Chrysler, will operate as a subsidiary or tho par ent oreanliatlon In Detroit, and eventually will take care of all Chrysler requirement for conti nental Europe, Including Scandi navia. i i ,s; v . v .. . , , The chief purpose In establishing the .new: plant to to assure good' service; to Chrysler pwners In Bur ope, although later on a numbrri of nianufaotu'rlna; operations may J be carried om there as well. . ' The selection of Antwerp as the location for the new plant la parti cularly advantageous, both Indus trially and geographically. Antwerp Is a city of note than 116.000 population! ; and- to exceptionally progressive., , It. la the . Industrial center of a densely populated dis trict which . extends approximately S00 miles eastward nnd southward. It Is the third largest seaport In the world and provides splendid ocean shipping, while Us rail facilities are also tar. above the average. I . Good Imbor Available. I The building In which the new plant will be ooated Is of modern brick' and t tile construction, with saw-tooth roof, and Is near the cen ter of the cty. It has It own spur track and la not more than one hundred -ards from ' tho Royal Beige ' docks, .i it la within easy walking distance for a larger num ber of skilled workmen, many of whom have had experience in au tomobile work, , '.;.'. A rd(tor that neither leaks nor discharges ' freely. .' through the overflow' pipe should be drained off more .frequently than i one that requires frequent additions of wa ter, jn tho cooling system has a habit pf discharging water through the radiator overflow pipe when the engine first warms up, the systerA will , keep exceptionally clean because sediment is likely to. lie forced upward as the water bub- I bles upwiird to overflow.
