When an engine allows oil to pass from the crank case to the explosion chamber in sufficient quantity to cause spark plugs to become dirty, the pis- ton head and cylinder behind the pis- ton to become coated with carbon and a continual stream of gray smoke at the exhaust, it i3 time the trouble were attended to. Well fitted pistons equipped with rings which have properly been lapped in will atop oil pumping. Any new car developing this trouble in one or more cylinders ®oon after its useful life commences should be overhauled and the de- fective pistons replaced with well fittcd new ones free of charge, and any garage man who takes on a job of reborirg cylinder block should if pumping develops correct this rou- Dblo or he deserves to lose his patron- age.

From the above it Is casy to make our deductiors as to how to guard iagainst this poisoning. The smaller the garage and the tighter the walls the greater the danger.

This “locking after,” however, can- not be done without some little cquipment, and one of the first things to be secured is a small bench and vise. Place the bench In front orj under a window. If this is impossi- ble, cut a hole in the wall and put a window over the bench. Extra wrenches and equipment can be pur- chased as they are needed. But a work bench is necessary from the commencement. Freesing Speed Cables. Winter driving is usually hard on speedometer chains.

Summer heat and speeding are a combination which robs tires of their legitimate mileage. The average race driver's tire will run about 500 miles when with ordinary care it would run 10.000 miles. This is due to the nerated by speeding. All speeding is hard on tires, the! damage being proportional to the amourt of heat generated. With the coming of fall and winter overheating of tires is somewhat ob- viated. But very soon the other ex- treme in temperature will have its effects on_the tire. The country roads still have ruts—miles of them-— which, when frozen, are very hard on the side-walls of tires; running in| ruts should therefore be avoided. Under inflation of tires is harder on tire walls in winter than in summer, because the bending of tires which are frozen stiff is far more destruc- tive than the same action in summer. Many of us will soon be using chains, which {s necessary occasion- ally, but they should be used onls when really needed because chains are harmful to tires and they are harder on tires when running on paved streets than under any other circumstances. The man who needs chains for his city driving Is driving faster than the law allows; a far bet- ter method of preventing skidding is | Ask Your Garage Man for EBONITE Never Say Gear Lubricant Without Saying ‘Ebonite’ One Filling of a Tight Transmission or Differential Case Is Enough for All Season Remember—take EBONITE only from the Checkerboard Pump.

This is the opinion of H. H. Rice, Cadillac Motor Car Company. Who points out that while considerable [ saturation point in the United States, little thought has been given to the large number of automobiles the entire world will some day absorh.

In other words, there Is a motor car for ever: eleven persons in the United States, but in the remainder of the world there is a motor car for but every 885 persons. “The possibilities of the U'nited States alone to absorb automobiles may be gauged from the fact that if every state had the per capita ownership of cars that Jowa has. the United States would have 20,000,000 motor vehicles. “But there is the rumbling of awak- ening India and China and other countrles of the Orient, to sav nothing of the resumption of buying in Europe that will take place again after their LORNS Lift Off with Fingers I | i Doesn't hurt a bit!
