One strong indication of an excel- lent motor market is the demand for used cars. I would actually like to have a few more of them, With workers all busy at high wages, the demand for used cars keeps at a high level. This is one of the most reliable barometers of the motor trade, and if I felt the market slackening I should regard it as significant. The fact that the demand is so lively leads me to expect a larger second half of 1923 than we had in st six months. “June, Ju i August—the so-called sur are proving the most re: ] months of 1923 to the auto ler with the right li cars.

When you have them added up, divide the amount by 4. ‘This will give you the amount your repaira would have cost had you taken a few simple precautions. The other 75 per cent represents the amount you have paid for neglecting to attend to certain things regularly. An automobile is a wonderful piece of mechanigm, and will stand an en- ormous amount of abuse. Still it does require some attention, n this article I will tell you a of the things you should do to enable you to keep the cost of repairs to a mini- mum. Have you ever realized how much trouble and expense is caused by neg- lecting to lubricate, not only the en- gine, but also other parts of your car that have rubbing surfaces. You would not think of filling up the crankcase with kerosene instead of lubricating ofl, would you. Yet do you know that after you have run a car about 500 miles, a very consid- erable amount of gasoline has found its way into the cvankcase and has diluted the ofl to such an extent that if you were to draw it off and had it analyzed, you would find that about a third of what you thought was oil, would really be gasoline. The old oll in the crankcase should be drain-| ed off regularly every 500 miles, and a fresh supply poured in. When oil becomes very much dilut- ed it allows the bearing surfaces to come together, and the friction set up| causes rapid wear, and very soon the and to take your car to a repair shop engine overhaul. This will yet you would have saved this amount if you had just taken the precaution of draining the old oi! out at regular intervals, and had kept your engine supplied with a good grade oil at all | times. Do you always inspect the level of the ofl in the crankcase to see that it 1s correct, before you. leave the garage If you allow’ the level of the ofl in the crankcase to become too low, it cannot circulate properly through the motor, and the parts that do not re- celve enough oil, start to wear rapid- If _you run far, with the oil in <<x| "TROUBLE SHOOTER” TIMELY TIPS FOR THE AUTO OWNER By EH. SCOTT: the crankcase too low, the engine starts to heat up and perhaps ® bear- ing is burned out, and a big repair Job is the result. If you give the engine too much ofl at a time, what happens? For a start, the spark plugs become fouled and haye to be taken out and cleaned frequently. After a short time, they become so bad that you have to put in now plugs at a cost of from 50 cents to $1.00 each. Too much ofl in the crankcase causes carbon to form quickly on top of the pistons and cyl- inders; then the cylinder head must be removed and the carbon scraped out, and it is more than probable you will alse have to have the Valves ground, an operation that will deplete your pocketbook by from $15 to $25. All this expense could have been saved if you had kept the oil at the corres¥ level in the crankcase. Rapid wear takes place in the steer- ing pins, and King bolts if you neg: lect their lubeication, These parts are so exposed that water and grit work their way in unless they are kept clean and properly lubricated. These parts should not require re- placing on the average car oftener than about once every 18 months. Neglect them, and they will need re- placing in less than half that time, a repair that will cost you from $6, to $18. Remember also, that neglect to riecate these important parts not only causes them to wear rapidly, but may cause them to weaken and break, and this has been the cause of many accidents, which could have been prevented by keeping steering connec: tions properly lubricated. Keep the spring leaves and shackle bolts well lubricated. If you neglect them, it not only gives you a stiff spring ac- tion which sets up a vibration that loosens every nut and bolt on the car, but also is one of the most com- mon causes of broken springs, and spring replacements cost anything from $12 to $25. Keep the spring leaves lubricated and the clips that hold the spring in place on the axle tight, and it is rarely you wil! have to dig down into your pocketbook to pay for repairs to springs. Keep the ofl in the Gear Box and Rear Axle at the proper levels, Ex: amine the level frequently, especially, if there is any indfcation that oil leaks from either of these parts, Lub: ricate both front and rear universal joints once a week, as they wear 1” REVELATIONS , OF MR.
