KNOW YOUR CAR

Some Good Advice For Motorists . It has been said repeatedly that it is important to know wherein your new car differs from its predecessor. But car-owners are just commencing to take the idea seriously. THIS is particularly true of owners of cars with more modern lubricating systems. The man whose.former engine had no pressure lubrication to the valve tappets is quite apt to get into trouble. He may remove the covers, drive the car between adjustments of the tappets, and lift the hood a^ain to find oil splattered all over the works. In one of the new models of a low-priced car oil stands m. jthe valve compartment all the time* Thus if the uninitiated owner removes the valve coyer plates without placing a bracket under the engine pan he is certain to make a mess of his garage floor. If the engine stalls on tracks and it is necessary to move quickly, the starter will pull your car, providing the battery is m good condition. When front tyres become worn to the fabric buy new tyres or switch to rear wheels. There is greater danger of losing control of your car if a front tyre blows Out.
