contact becomes uncertain, and causes
tbe engine to miss or stop altogether.
This poor connection will usually be
found in the battery box.
If you have located the trouble in
tbe ignition system, note the following
points: When you turn your engine
and do not get a buzz, it indicates one
or more of the following troubles: (i)
disconnected ground wire irom coil to
engine; (2) disconnected or broken wire
in the battery circuit (break may be
inside insulation); (3) tinier does not
make proper contact; (4)brokeu connec
tion inside of coil; (4) coil has been wet

' Light lubricating oil is always tbe
best. The reason for oil being dark
and heavy is the presence of impur
ities, These impurities burn at tbe
high temperatures reached and coat
the cylinders, causing trouble. All
good auto oils are made from crude
petroleum. Oils made from other sub
stances decompose and injure the
metals.
Most of the cars manufactured are
shaft driven. The only exclusive
chain driven cars are the Simrlex,
Pope-Toledo, Empire, Cbadwick, and
Peteral.
Tbe best way to remove carbon from
cylinders is to take them apart and
scrape. Kerosene Ib used by some as
well as decarbonizing solutions which
are manufactured for the purpose.
If your engine knocks examine the
cooling system. Perhaps the water
does not circulate properly.
Never stop your car as quickly as
Eossible unless absolutely necessary,
iegin to slow down before you get to
tbe stopping place. It will lengthen
the life of your car.
If your starting crank works hard
put a few drops of oil on the spindle.
Jt will make a big difference.
A stiff releasing spring on the start
ing crank is unnecessary and causes
the crank to release itself when not
wanted. An extremely light spring
will serve the purpose.

A clattering sound caused by the

surfaces are too dry- A mixture of oil

The steering gear should always be
carefully watched. On most cars pro
vision is made to take up tbe lost
motion caused by wear of the parts but
some cannot be fixed. A car with a
very loose steering gear is dangerous
and if the looseness cannot be taken up
a new steering gear should be pur
chased. If you desire to get any information
regarding the dealers in certain cars in
Nebraska or surrouudingl territory you I

HINTS FOR LOCATING TROUBLE IN
ENGINE.
It is sometimes very perplexing when
an engine, stops suddenly, retuses to
start, or misse, to tell just where the
trouble lies.
We give here a general outline oi a
process of elimination to ascertain
whether or not tbe trouble is in tbe ig
nition system
Turn the engine over slowly and see
whether each section of the coil buzzes.
If tbey all buzz, the trouble is not in
the (a) batteries; (b) timer; (c) connec
tions on primary or battery circuit; (d)
primary windings of coil; (e) contact
points on vibrator. This leaves the
high tension wiring, including tbe
pround wire, spark plugs, and second
ary winding of spark coil
Remove tbe spark plugs, reconnect
tbe wire, and lay plug on top of cylin
der so that the threads of the plug
touch the metal, but do not let tbe top
of the plug to which the wire is attach
ed touch any metal. Then turn the
engine over until your bear a buzz.
See it you get a good spark. Repeat
this for each plug. If you get a good
spark at each plug, you have eliminated
all ignition troubles. It sometimes
happens that there is a connection
loose, but not entirely broken. When
the engine is Btopped, this connection
may touch and apparently be O. K-,
but when tbe engine is running tbe
The following rules have been
adopted by and will bo enforced by the
Chief of Police of xMliance with regard
to automobiles and covering the move
ments of hacks and other vehicles:
1. Always keep tbe right side of the
street under all circumstances.
2. Slacken speed and turn corners
carefully.
3. Must have two white lights burn
ing in front, and one red light in rear
of machines between sunset and sun
rise. 4. Speed limit not to exceed ten
miles an hour. This is important on
account of thp great number of visitors
who will be in the city within the next
few days, and streets will be crowded.
5- Every machine must have a
loud-sounding alarm of some descrip
tion and same must be sounded at the
approach of every crossing, and when
a warning is necessary to pedestrians,
teamsters, etc.
