To Keep Driving Chains in Good Order.

Every time the car is washed paint round the chains with paraffin, put on with an ordinary sash tool. Dry roughly with a cloth (not too dry, just wipe them over), and then brush on Crown chain lubricant. I have just taken the chains off a 28 h.p. Daimler after 5,000 miles of this treatment to examine them, and I found them hardly worn at all and every roller running free. I had exactly the same results on another Daimler after 6,000 miles. — Fred C. Hunter.
