- - ¥ ma ut Nd vy 2000 pA Nea Motor touring, the summer pastime of millions, is pleasant directly in pro- portion to’ the manner in which the ear performs, in the view of officials of the American Autimobile associa- tion. It is estimated that 44,000,000 persons will take annual vacations this year on the open road. “The close relationship between the pleasure of the tour and the condition of the car should suggest to every prospective tourist the wisdom of see ing that the car is performing at its best before the trip begins,” says a statement, “Battery, generator, distributor, spark plugs, valves, carburetor. fuel feed system, clutch, transmission, dif- ferential, crankcase lubricant, oil fil- ter, steering mechanism, brakes, tires cooling system, and wheel bearings are the units chiefly recommended by the A.

Distributor—Clean and adjust breaker points. Apply a thin film of grease to the cam, Spark Plugs—Clean and check points for condition and clearance, Replacement, if the plugs have seen a year's service, is generally advis- able, Valves—It will the pay to have valves ground if this has not been done for 7,000 miles, regardless of the gasoline one uses. Valves must seat properly for efficient engine perform- ance. For the tour, it is not wise to adjust them too clesely, This means quick valve deterioration and poor performance, Look sharply for burned exhaust valves during the grinding process, Carburetor—Clean tom thoroughly. pected of excessive richness, have it adjusted by an expert, Fuel Feed System—Drain taps at bottom of main gasoline tank and vacuum tank. Blow out the feed lines, Clutch—If the release not the self-lubricating type, take up one turn on the grease cup, the com- monly used substitute. Be careful not to turn down the cup so far as to get grease on the plates. Slipping of the clutch is sure to follow, Transmission and Differential— Drain and flush case and housing and fill up with fresh lubricant, Crankcase—Drain out old oil, flush strainer at bot- car fs accustomed to that grade, Oil Filter—Inspect the cartridge or straining wnit. If it has seen 10.000 miles of service and is the nonclean- able type” buy a new one, Steering--Check for wear, or binding, and lubricate oughly.

Motorists may have trouble with brakes during exceptionally hot weather. There are perhaps. iwe rea- sons for this. One is that much more touring and driving is done in the summer and ‘the other is that the lu- bricant in the rear axle becoming thinned by heat often works its way out of the axle end under the brake drum. During hot spells we often see cars with oil thrown over the brake drums and the inside of the wheels, writes Clyde H. Pratt In the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This is due to heat thinning the lubricant so that if works out. The remedy is to have new grease-retaining washers put In the axle, or put in heavier lubricant, or both, Less Brake Trouble. In case of brake troubles due to long hills, there is less of this than in the earlier days of motoring be- cause there have been so many serious accidents due to the burning out of brake linings that in many places at the top of long and dangerous hills we find signs posted warning the driv- er t# use the lower speed gear, On an average steep hill the second speed gears will hold the car with just a little: extra pressure on the brake pedal. Before starting down a steep hill stop, put #8 gears into low speed, re- tard the spark, close the throttle and run down the hill with the clutch en- gaged. Engine Holds Car. In going down hill in this way the engine will hold the car back with very little extra use of the brakes. Naturally you cannot drive very fast when using low-speed gears, neither ean you drive very fast in going up this game hill, but In going over this kind. of road in mountainous country th Sgneston of safety must be the driver's first consideration if he in- tends to live to tell the people at home about his journey. .

When the wheel strikes a bump slightly larger than normal the edge of the spring is forced to ride up over the corner of the depression worn in the lower spring. The cure for this is to round the sharp edge at the lower end of each leaf as shown in the illustration. —Popular Science Monthly, SONORAN ROOPOPORORAOEIGEY AUTOMOBILE NOTES GP00000B00P00ROGGSIGOGRNEDS A man can be excused for falling from grace as he has acquired the detour habit In his travels, * +» » If the battery cables are corroded, the full capacity of the battery can not reach the Ignition system. * * .
