OWNERS CARELSS
ABOUT CAR LOOKS
‘Automobiles Not Always
Kept Clean as Carriages
Were.
In the days of the horse and car-
riage every owner was proud of his
equipment. He would think of
riding down the street or through the
park unless his horse was groomed so
that the animal's coat looked like silk
and the harness trimming glistened in
the sun. His carriage was lmmacu-
late.
Pride in Equipment Lacking.
Now that the automobile has in a
large measure displaced the
there does not be the
pride in equipment that formerly ex-
sted. Perhaps it is because in the
hustle and bustle of the world today,
people have not time for such things
or it may be that they have grown a
bit careless. Not all are careless about
how their automobile looks for there
still remain a number who take the
ganie keen pride in owning an automo-
bile that has been well groomed a3
they do in their own personal appear-
ance. The vast majority, however, are
content so long as the car runs.
Little by little this condition is
changing and it will come about more
rapidly when the ge neral
public are educated to the fact that
dust. grime and grease, either on the

time this scum attacks-she finish and
eventually will require that the car be

gear and chassis it works this scum

an abrasive it is only a question of
time until looseness in steering and
spring shackles, as well as brake rods,
brings to the owner's attention the
fact that his car is wearing out faster
than it should.
Like other things regarding the
care of an automobile, a system has
been devised and patented whereby an
automobile ean now be thoroughly

Upper Hose Connection
Needs Replacing Often
Motorists who have wondered why
it is that the upper water hose con-
nection needs replacing more often
than the lower one only have to know
their engine a little better in order to
understand the reason, Circulation of
water is from the pump up through
the water jackets to the top of the
radiator, or up through the water
jackets in the same direction in the
case of thermo-syphon cooling, in
which a pump Is not utilized. This
means that the hotter water always is
rising and that the water is hottest
when it is passing through the top
water hose to the radiator.
This heat has a disintegrating ef-
fect on the rubber hose connection.
The connections at the pump receive
cooler water from the radiator and
generally last longer,
Brake Test Devised
Are your four-wheel brakes adjusted
equally? Here Is a simple way to teil:
Apply the brakes both gently and vig:
crously about a dozen times, then stop
the ear und feel each brake band to
gee whether they seem equally hot.
Allowance should be made for greater
heag at the rear bands, because in
eonde cars these brakes operate before
the front ones come Into action. This
test may keep the bands on one side
of the car from burning out prema-
turely.
