SIX MORNING RECISTt.IL EUCENt, OREGON, SUNDAY, er moto ' Caution nml stop signals on nc releretor wouldn't be a bad ailill lllin 10 present day motoring. ' Vw Longer 1nr Llfo Little by little prudent owner are discovering how to make their earn last loniier. what in more, they are coming to recognise the importance of driving In this con- neation. ... Good oil, good Ran. Intelligent servicing and systematic Inspection are essentials, but they aro not everything. Aa a matter of fact many cara that are treated to the beet of everything in the purely material line are among those giv ing the moat trouble. A 'car really hasn't everything until it is spared three of the moat raaglng habits in drlvinc. Not until drivers stop unneres Kiry hill climbing, driving fast when moderate speeds would auc tion ami stonpinE abruptly will their cars be In line to live loniter. giving better service meanwhile. Whenever a car climbs a hill It must lift Itself while propelling it self forward a double Job. When ever a car Is driven fast every re ciprocating part In the engine Is strained and even,- rotating pari comes that much closer to tho dan ger point represented by burning out. Abrupt stopping places a terrific burden on every working part of the car, - not alone the brakes. The automoMIe driver who avoids a hill when he doesn't have to climb it conserves engine life that will be translated Into more miles of usefulness. It's great sport taking steep hills In high, no doubt, but It's pleasure for which the Indulgent pay dearly. If more drivers could ee the pistons In the act of s opplng and completely reversing their direc tion of travel every time they move from four to five Inches there would be more consideration for engines and less unnecessary speed. When a car stops abruptly the engine must do l:s part in retarda tion,. It means that the engine has one more Job to pull It doan and to hasten its demise. :" From An Owner's Diary ' Tried adjusting the carburetor for a richer mixture.' Havent been getting the resulta expected frorh. the lean mixture, and hills have been giving trouble. Won't knoW what sort of mileage the new mixture will give until I've tried it a whlle.-but a strange thing hap pened. That knock In the engine seems to have vanished. It always came In accelerating, and on hills. Today tt disappeared. Went to aee Joe. the mechanic, -abept' It. He concluded I must have had what he called a. "lean mixture knock." It seems the cyl inders , -don't hove enough fuel to work 'on and they let you know it. I asked him why he hadn't tumbled to this before. I've been complaining about thla knock for a. month. His answer waa he took It for granted I had tried running her on different mixtures. .That's the trouble. We take too much for granted. Horeaf ter when there's something chronically wrong I'll try the car on different diets, - It works for humans, why not for engines? Work Grease Pump Slowly .--Occasionally a motorist will help out with the greasing process at the public garage or the filling station by operating the big grease pump while the mechanic is under the car, -A trick in working such a pump is to go slowly. It doesn't move the greaso any faster to work the pump vigorously. One pumps air the faster one works. Take It easy, press with a ateadv stroke and give the grease a chance to move. ' ; ";."'
