If the mixture is jsuspected of being too weak, the ifloat chamber may bé flooded while ithe engine is running and if the en- gine speeds up, it may be accepted a sign that the mixture has not been rich enough. « Heat Destroys Oil | Lubricating oil is not worn out by | -{friction, but is destroyed by expo-) When cleaning two-part spark plugs,the sections mast be taken apart and cleaned sepsrately.

If the trouble is con- fined to the latter, and is slignt, it can often be overcome by avoiding sudden application of power or -brakés, and by gentle handling of the clutch. Lubrication of Exposed Parts Rods, springs, clevis bearings, etc., below the‘car are subjected to ex- posure of all grit and dirt of the road and should be protected by a godd film of grease or oil. These parts are particularly exposed to the mud- dy water splashed up by the wheels. is muddy water is almost as ef- fective as valve grinding compound as far as its abrasive qualities are concerned. The water carries the gritty dirt into the bearings and if they are not covered by a lubricant the bearings” are rusting while sta- tionary and wearing when in "=e. This combination is fatal as far as Before long enough wear has taken place to make the pins loose in the clevis and what started as a little squeak due to dry- ness becomes a rattle due to play in the bearings. The assembled chorus of rattles from ull these littie bear- ings beneath the car produces a noise that stamps the car as having seen its best dhys as far as a silent performing vehicle is concerned.

Stauon FIRE THREATENS OUR NATIONAL _ HERITAGE Carelessness Destro ys 3,000,000 acres annually of Canadian Forest Loss of standing timber by fire con- . tinues to be appalling. On the aver- age, over 3,500 million board feet are des- , troyed annually. The forests of Canada are being depleted at a rate they cannot possibly withstand; more than half of this - -e depletion is due to fire, insects and decay. The future of the forest industry is just as dependent on the seedling trees and young growth as the pulp and paper and lumber mills, and industry generally, are dependent on mature timber—both must be saved from the ravages of fire. In addition to the shelter afforded by the forest to the farmer and his stock, set- tlers in forested regions are vitally depend- ent on the woods for winter employment. Care with fire in land-clearing operations is all-essential—burned timber pays no wages. Canada has the finest inland fishing in ' the world, but these splendid food and game fish require clean, cold water in the streams to ensure prolific reproduction. Forest fires are inimical to fish life. Game animals attract foreign tourists and induce Canadians to seek pleasure, health and adventure in the great outdoors. These animals are distinctly a forest re- source—utterly dependent on it for protec- tion and food. Forest fires are most-des- - tructive of such wild life. Ninety per cent. of the forest fires are caused by carelessness. Are you doing ypur part to prevent this wanton waste and destruction? CHARLES STEWART MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR Pt id
