There are comparatively few auto- mobile owners who know the reat réason -for a smoky exhaust.

When following another car close- ly on crowded roads be ready to turn | out to one side or the other when | using the brakes, Sometimes they fail or do not work as quickly as you expect. If you are pointed to one side there is less danger of a collis- ion. I---------------- Canada's Growth ~ Year by Year S------ Automobile registrations in Cana- da go ahcad by leaps and bounds, and already thousands of motor li- censés have been issued in the sever- al provinces for the curreut years. With so many farmers buying auto- mobiles and trucks, 1921 is expect- ed to be a record year in the trade and eclipse al} previous years. since 1907 is indicated in the fol- lowing table: 1907 aoee cove 1008 cove 00 1910 ...o sees sans 1981. seavs 1012 . 1913 cove wuve oe 1914 ... 1915 ..... 1916 .. .. 1917 ..: 1918 3919 ein iain nina 1920 . 1921 (estimated) .... Under-infiation Fatal To High Tire Milage S---- Tires are not built to take the place 6f steel springs or of shock absorbers.

The most important aid a trouble | amp could give would be to light | a wheel for tire changing. One with { a magnetic base exists, The current which" lights the lamp magnetizes a | little iron button in the bottom of | the socket, so that the lamp can be | stuck against any steel part of the | chassis and will hold itself there. | Faling this refinement, a little screw | clamp could easily be designed which | would fit on almost anywhere. Compression Gauge, , The shell of an old spark plug, in | conjunction with a tire gauge, makes | a very handy compression tester. The | | porcelain of the plug is removed, and a washer 'fitted at the bottom. The gauge i§ next inserted and the pack- ing tamped in around it. "The pack- ing nut forces the packing down around the base of the gauge, until a perfectly tight joint is made. This instrument js screwed into the spark plug hole and when the engine is turned over by hand the compression is registered in pounds. Sand for Fires, The usually recommended sub: stance for putting out gasoline fires is sand, which certainly has. many advantages, Equally efficacious for the purpose is sawdust, particularly if it has been soaked in carbonate of soda. The sawdust fifioating on the" liquid prevents air from reaching the fire, and also a certain amount of carbon dioxide is generated. Walle sawdust is nominally combustible, in reality it burns slowly at best, and actually discourages the rapid spread. a-------------- Play in Main Shaft. Excessive play in the main shaft of the gearset may cause the gear shifter lever to be forced out of pos- tion. Usually the Yront bearing on the main shaft is shimmed, so that the condition is easily remedied. End play. in this shaft also may be the cause of chattering in the clutch and a bucking when the car is on a grade or otherwise pulling hard under load. 1f this is not corrected in time the shaft play may cause permanent in- jury to the gears. Crankhandie Knock. ™ An obscure cause of knocking was recently discovered in a erankhandle, which stuck so that the log at the end touched the rachet on the end' of the crankshaft. In this way the two parts would strike as the crank- shaft turned over, causing an annoy ing knock, Japan Likes Sedanz, . Closed passenger automobiles are preferred in Japan, especially for private use, on account of the dust in the streets, and also because the Japanese women do not wear hats, and thelr carefully-arrangeéd coif- fures suffer considerably in open cars. ' iam ---- Grease Stops Short, Moisture gathering on the exposed part of the porcellain of the spark plug will often cause irregular firing. This trouble may be cured by greas- ing. the porcelain With gasoline or hard grease.
