' " BS.P.UDUC Banging Doors. v f ' , The average car owner may be sur it J prised to learn that banging the car V door is bad practice, bhocks of -, this kind often cause the enameled pf finish to kC'P and fall off, to the detriment "ot the cars appearance. ' Pan Fiasco; "' Cooling fans of the type that have ' . ' the blades riveted .to a metal hub, should be examined- occasionally to ; ' ' see that all is secure. The speed : at which the fan revolves may result "ji the loosening o.f a blade. Pitting Spark Flags. . ' In fitting a spark plug in a cold ! cyliuder be very careful not to screw ' ,tt too tight.! The principal cause of tiie breakage of the porcelain, insula V ' tors is the expansion of metal when . si,' the engines get hot, thereby exerting crushing cttect on the plug and re H : spiting in a cracked insulator. v1 Valve Stem Clearance. ' ' ' Inlet valves do not' get nearly as ' ' hot as exhaust valves and consequent ly do not expand as much. For this ' reason less clearance should be al l, 1 lowed between the stems and push 0- .rods than is allowed between the , stems and push rods of exhausts . valves, W v - : , ,. Plywheel Knock .. : It sometimes happens that the bolts " folding the flywheel to the flange on , Ihe crankshaft works a trifle loose, with the result that an irregular ' knocking occurs, which is very much like that of -a loose connecting rod big' end and is most noticeable at - v alow motor speeds and at the begin ' aing of periods of rapid acceleration - or retardation. Test th flywheel,for . such looseness when a knock cannot ()e easily bleated. Matking the Wiring. .. A little dodge that save much time pa occasion ti the marking of the numerous electric wires on the mod ern car with different colored caint. j Simply band one wire with red, an other with' green, a third with blue, tc.' In this way when it is necessary ' to trace down the' various wires to locale some trouble that has devel oped, there is little hardship in con- . ducting the search. , . 1 Anti-Black-Hand. :'S For rhe car owner who does his own work, the question of keeping his hands fit for police society is a real problem. Here is a solution of the problem: After working about the car or garage, apply fresh cylinder or any light oil to the hands, using just as aoap and water is used. .When all the grease has been cut loose, wipe the hands on clean waste or rag.

But today the outer shell or dress of the modern tpotcrcar has torn to be recognized as one of the most important features of the car. That ts tbe Why of our new Apperson Anniversary Model.

He felt very prud. Had he not been - chosen from the gang to perform this . special mission? 1 onicr-wished he knew wnat they meant it he could only read English He was to place one at each end of the huge bridge. -He stood on the bridge now. Nearly a quarter or r mile long it was, with the big "rive sparkling beneath. Tonio leaned far over the rail to enjoy the sight and in the act dropped one of the beautiful signs. The blue water caught it and held ft, dancing for a moment, far, far below, then swept it from view. Here was trouble I Tell the boss? And perhaps lose the job that brought the good money? Never! Tonio was z man of resources as he ' himself often reflected. Grasping the ' remaining sign firmly, he walked half wjr across the bridge and nailed the Koard on a pillar conspicuously. 1 hen he stood back and admired the elect : i. And later, vehicles whiclv crossed passed a board on the rail in the cen ,. ter of the Mdge which read, "This :, bridge is 'no' safe. Trucks or any vehicles heavily laden I must not cross."

Among the features ot me mrt treatment will leave the hands in good shape for soap and water and tar soao will be found admirable in this connection. Old Tubes. n old inner tube, which has passed its usefulness as such, may still be made to render some service. - Slit it ooen around its inner side and place it over the new tube, in which loca tion it acts as a sort of inner lining and strengthens the new tube. , Radiatojr Leaks. When the radiator has been seri ously injured, "home remedies" are generally useless and soldering job in the repair shop is the only solu tion. However, for minor holes the car owner can perform a very fair curative operation. First make a heavy solutioin of one of the or dinary radiator cements iir warm water. If the hole is in the bottom of the radiator or near it, take off the hose at the bottom and plug the, vent with a Cork. Pour , in enough of the cement solution to cover the leak and allow it to stand for. half hour or so and then drain and flush out the 'water system. Valve Tappet Adjustment. There occasionally develops in an engine normally quiet in operation a tapping or knocking, which is due to maladjustment of one or two of the valve tappets. For quiet operation of the tappets there must not be severe impact between tappet , and valve stem. If the tappet is moving fast before it commences to lift the valve th impact will be severe and there will be noise. The tappet should be adjusted so as very nearly to touch the valve stem. When the engine is hot at the end of a run, the proper time to make adjustments, the tappet should be adjusted so that it just touches the valve stem. The valve, beimr hot. will not exnand anv more anil when the tappet is adjusted in this way very good-results will fce ooiainea. three and one-lialf-ton job 's a sec tional radiator. As the photograph above will show, each of the seven sections is a separate unit, connected, of course. Should one or more of these units, become damaged it is possible to secure perfect circulation with only two sections. The dam aged sections can be plugged and connections made with equipment furnished. This is not only a desirable con struction from a service standpoint, but eliminates buying an entire new radiator when accidents occur. The manufacturers feel that this ra diator will find much favor in the war zone, where, by the way, numerous Dart trurW are beinff sent. E. H.
