The operator often believes that the' trouble is due to poor facing or worn Dodge and Cadillac Motor Cars Complete Selection Good Used Cars COVEY MOTOR CAR CO. Twenty-first and Washington New York, May 81. A dust-laden, mud-caked automobile drove up to police headquarters with two bedraggled oc cupants, and Detective George J. An drews of the automobile squad removed his goggles, stepped. Into the rear of the tonneau and unfastened a chain which attached a pair of handcuffs to an Iron stanchion at the bottom -of the car, releasing a prisoner who was led into the building. Detective Andrews reported to In spector John J. Cray that he had brought back Harry Resin of 77 Bay Twenty-ninth street. Bensonhurst, from Raleigh. N. C. and had ridden the entire distance with the prisoner handcuffed and chained in the rear of the car he is alleged to have stolen. PKUOXEK:HEARliT- ESCAPED An. enforced stay at Fredericksburg, Vsu, from Thursday until Sunday, while the automobile was undergoing repairs, almost resulted in the esoa pe o f Resin from the local jail. When Andrews called for. his charge he found that the prisoner had .already removed part of the wall of his cell, and it is the belief of the detective tha.t if he had been given a few Hburs more "he would TvaVe succeeded in removing enough of the masonry to effect an escape. Resin was arrested in Raleigh and Andrews started on the overland journey the following day. . The trip from Fred ericksburg was made "in 24 hours of continuous travel, stopping only long enough for food. FOrSD HIM IN RALEIGH ' Resiti is charged with having stolen an automobile belonging to Miss Lillian Duffy, a school teacher of 8748 Bay Six teenth street. Bensonhurst, on April 2, while the car was standing in front of her home. It was understood that he had headed south, and the police wired the various towns along the route he was believed to have taken. When Resin rolled into Raleigh the chief of police looked at the license number and arrested the driver. When Andrews arrived there he de cided to bring back both the automobile and the prisoner. With the car stocked with a bottle of water and-a basket of food, and the prisoner chained In the rear of the tonneau, he -started north. Kngine trouble developed on. the way and he stopped in Fredericksburg for repairs. . English Auto Men Planning New Oar Among the 'new automobile models which are being" prepared for early ap pearance In Kngland is a rrew air-cooled two seated car, whose weight, it is said, will not exceed 600 pounds. It will be knowh as the A B C light car. The engine rating will be from 15 to 28 horse power, the latter being the esti mated rating at 3000 revolutions. It is I of the twin cylinder horizontal opposed type, depending on its crank shaft gpeed j for its relatively large power output. It is said the price will be just under $1000. Look Over "the Rims The present is an excellent time to ; give the rims the once over. These parts iShould.be given a coating of aluminum paint, graphite or rirq paint before they are replaced to prevent their rusting to ; gether. Felt Washers Under Iron Ones Useful Most car owners know that the use of felt washers under the iron washers In certain instances is a useful idea. ! The felt washer gives an elastic hold.j allowing for expansion or contraction.;! I and may keep the threads of an oyer ! tight bolt from stripping. However, most of them do not"" know that the ordinary corn and bunion plasters make acceptable felt washers and are always easily obtained. . The Lniversals J FTk m e a s rex nsfh a na Vi mstei' rtoo'lAliid i ' parts of the mechanism, because, they i are generally the hardest to get at. The universals must be kept properly ; lubricated or they will develop intensive wear. " When they have worn the uni- j versals emit a heavy thump each time j the clutch is thrown in. ' How many times have you slowed down along the hghway aid commiser ated with a man who was sweating co piously while changing a tire, and then drove on serene in the knowledge that it. was not your car that had tire trouble? I A great deal of this tire trouble could be eliminated by motorists if they would only pay a slight degree of attention to their equipment. The main' trouble is that motorists allow their tires to wear too long be fore they get new ones or have them re paired. When a casing is worn down to the fabric it is time to take that tire off and get-a new one and use the old one only for emergencies. When you start out on a irip be sure that you have good tires all round. I There Is no. more annoying thing than j blowouts or trouble while traveling in an automo bile. GOOD TIMES SPOILED Tire grief often breaks up a happy party, because the man who has to do the work is dressed in good clothes and necessarily does hot want to get dirty. He takes off his coat, rolls up his sleeves and starts. He cusses loudly and long, and the women in the car hold their ears. With 'proper care a great deal of this trouble, if not all, could be eliminated. One thing a motorist should do which he does not do now is to kteep the tires in flated to the proper -air pressure. If the tire is allowed to run flat the side walls soon become weakened and then break and the tire is worn out long before its usefulness should have ended. CL'TS ARE BAD Then. too. take care of tire cuts. If these cuts are allowed to develop they will mean blowouts and a lot of grief.

The differential acts as an excellent equaliz er for the Vrakes if the weight of the engine is left on the drive shaft. Prove for your ' own satisfaction, the great advantage of keeping the clutch en gaged by throwing the brake on hard on a wet pavement with the clutch out and the car moving rapidly, and doing the same thing with the clutch remain ing ia engagement. Packing Pump Is Often Right Cure When the water pump begins leaking do not assume that necessarily it is be-i cause the nut is too loose. Frequently the nut is not to blame at all, but poor packing is the real cause of the trouble. Packing for this part consists of candle wick soaked in tallow, heavy twine similarly treated, or special packing material. After the nut has been turned to press thj packing down do not turn it farther, as excessive squeezing is apt to damage some part of the body of the pump. - '.
