a I a br SS NOB 5 ei ~ Hite "THE DATLY BRITISH WHIG. | In the Automobile World i GAS LINE STOPPAGE IS HARD TO LOCATE Fol Supply 15 "a One of the most baffling troubleg for the novice to locate is an obstruc- tion in the gasoline line from tank to carburetor, Some carburetors have a strainer where the gasoline enters the float chamber; and others have a strainer on some part of the gaso- line line. There is one on the va- cuum tank where the supply from the main tank enters at the top. These are all easily "removed for cleaning, but somethimes clogging occurs at the bend in the pipe, and then it is not so easily reached. In some cases the pipe line is removed from the carburetor and the operator blows back against the stoppage. This frequently loosens it and the gasoline is allowed to flow, carrying the dirt with ft. This trouble usually comes on gradually, a few pieces of line, chaff, dust, etc, accumulating on the strainer, and not doing any harm, and there is plenty of room around them for the passage of the gasoline, But soon the accumulation allows only enough gasoline to pasi\through to run the engfue at normal speed. The driver does not know this and when he tries to speeC_up the en- gine it does not respond. The gasoline cannot flow through fast enough to satisfy the increased domand, making the engine sluggish, Then more dirt arrives, and the en- gine weakens, may backfire at the Novice Is Often Baffled When | carburetor, and soon stops. Gasoline be MAST the LAU can get through, but.not fast enough to supply the engine. While the motorist is searching for the trouble, the 'float chamber pills and bon hE SRE This is the characteristic' symptom of a clogged gasoline line. The en- gine stops, but may be started after a time, only to stop again. Where a strainer is easily accessible it is well to clean occasionally, but the aver- age operator waits until the above symptoms develop. When they occur 2s described above there can be no doubt, about the trouble, so the only thing to do is to remove the strainer and clean it, High Speed Dries Tire; Makes Blowout Easier One of the most expert tire men in the country recently called the attention of motor car owners to the macner in which tire wear in- creases with speed. The faster a tire travels, the more heat it gen- erates internally, Normal speed does not increase the internal heat to a dangerous degree, but excess speed will 'not only raise the heat above the danger point, but may actually cause further vulcanization to take place. This heat not only dries out the friction gum between the piles of fabric, but the very fabric itself, low- ering the elasticity of the tire, de- creasing its resiliency and weaken- ing the tire so that it will blow out early. Electric Lamp Bulbs. If the eleotric lamps in your head, dash or tail light burns with reddish color instead of the pure white that NEW HLIN- BUICK FRA Here is a Thoroughbred Master Four Completing the Famed McLaughlin-Buick Line it\did when you first put it in, it .is played out, and it is time to replace #t with a new bulb. This should be done, not only to give a better light, consuming more electric current and giving less light. Unless the lamp is one of the tungsten or tantalum types, you must not expect more than 600 hours' service out of it. This will surprise a good many people who think an electric light bulb is good for a lifetime. The filaments of the electric lamp are like the wick of a kerosene lamp, they become charred and finally burn away, and must be replaced, but of course, after a much longer use. So if you want good lights with a moderate amount of current consumed, watch your lamps carefully and replace when the red color appears. Reasonable Regulations. England proposes to abolish ths speed limit as far as passenger auto- mobiles are concerned and bring into effect the ruling of "driving at a speed that is greater than is reason- able end proper, having -regard two the condition of the highway and the traffic then on the same." In other words, the motorist is going to be made responsible for driving in a safe manner and 8 not going wo be held up in police traps if he is driving over & certain limit when conditions warrant him doing so with safety. This is a big step in the right direction and is well worthy the consideration of the law makers of the province. At present there are a hundred and one different speed limits that municipalities, cities, towns and villages are trying to enforce. FRNLSIOC SARTRE, as fhe lam Pb The new Four-Cylinder "McLaughlin- Buick, here announced, is a thoroughbred -- a pedigreed car well worthy of its name. Down to the very last detail, this iew model possesses every quality of enduring service- ability, complete comfort, and distinctive appearance that have always characterized McLaughlin automobiles. i The advent of this new Master Four mak the McLaughlin-Buick 1922 lme com- plete. It offers to purchasers of a car of this size all the quality and service that go to make up the name McLaughlin. ~ The McLaughlin-Buick = Valoe-in- Head Engine--A Power Plant That Has Proved Itself. The engine, of course, is of the time-tested M Laughlin Buick Nori Fad type. The Yo after-year concentration of N ick en- gineering skill and experience in building Valve- in-Head motors assure the highest standard of per- formance obtainable h Every other unit is of a quality equal to the power plant.

Two open and two closed body types mounted on the McLaughlin-Buick built chassis comprise the new series. Even thg most casual inspection of the details of design and workmanship will reveal that full measure of quality which motorists have learned to associate with McLaughlin.

A FEW POINTERS ON WASHING CAR Lustre Is Easily Spoiled by Careless Methods in Cleaning "Please give me a few poioters on the proper way to go about washing my car," is the request made fre- quently by car owner; The best time to renovate and polish up a car is just after it comes in from the trip, and it possible, be- fore the mud has had a sbancs te dry and harden. Warm weather and the h2at of the car's motor tend to dry this mud quickly, baking it into the finish. So | if the car cannot be washed immedi-| ately, it is wise at least to rinse off the mud with-a gentle stream of water from # hose. In startiazg the washing process, first soak all the mud and dust down with a hose from which the nozzle has been removed. A large stream with the lowest possible pressure should be used to go over the body's finish. Begin at the top and work downward; then you will remove the same mud only once. The first rinsing in this mann.r generally loosens the dirt and tho next removes the last trace of it. If it does not, a soft sponge constantly saturated with water should be slop- ped without rubbing against the spot where the hard mud is lodged or stuck. Grease spots are often found on the finish after the dirt has heen washed off. These should be washed with an old chamois skin and some good, pure (linseed oil) soap. To preserve the finich as much as possible, rinse off the soapsuds as quickly and as thoroughly as pos- sible after the groase spot hes been treated. Tt is important that no trace of tha soap is left on the finish. Now rinse the car again thorough- ly; then wet a good, clean chamois, wring it dry and go over every inch of the body, wiping it dry. It is a good plan to have another chamois, not necessarily new, but at least clean, for wiping the running gear, and use only on this part of the car. Here's a good point to remember: Keep the wet car out of the sun un- til dry or the finish is likely to crack and check. & Never "dust' a car with a feather or any other kind of duster. Washing as suggested here is the best and practically the only safe way to kecp the finish bright and shining. One point frequently overlooked by even the seasoned motorist whe washing his car is that the engine shoull be cold. Otherwise the hood and radiator of the car will become @® TAXI FOR HIRE Special prices for out- of-town trips. G. C. MILLARD 30 Main Street Phone 2351 w.
