TIMELY TALKS WITH AUTOMOBILE OWNERS ¥ TT { In wet weather there should be less | brake band clearance so that there willl be less possibility of the brakes becom- | ing water-logged. If you cannot ad-|rules or that there is nothing new 10 | gimilar in tone to those used by the just the bands without sacrificing equ- alization the next best thing is to take up on the turn-buckles or the foot pe- dal position so that as much leverage as possible can be obtained when us- ing the brakes. In other words, if the bands can't be made tight enough to keep out the water at least see that the brakes are efficient enough so that the water can be quickly squeezed out when you want to stop. This rule ap- plies as well to hydraulic four-wheel brakes. Bands for four-wheel brakes are usually adjusted for greater clear- ance than for the two-wheel variety, but to drive out the water in stopp- ing, the brakes should be adjusted so that there is no slack in the foot pedal. With the hydraulic system simply pump up the pressure from the reserve tank under the hood. Mysterious Knocks. One of the most baffling troubles a car owner can encounter is having his engine knock regularly for 50 miles and then purr like a dream for the next 30, or vice versa. Reason tells him 'that the cause of the knocking must be of a temporary nature, but he is us- jually unable to imagine what could be so seriously wrong with a motor as to cause so decided a knock to appear in normal running and then disappear again. One motorist with such trouble {finally discovered that the piston pins were of the floating type. That is, the | upper ends of the connecting rods were free to adjust themselves in the most \ cars--old or 5 Central McLaughlin Buick owners are assured of prompt and efficient service on their LIMITED Brock and Montreal Sts. We use only GENUINE PARTS Fsuitable position on the piston pins. It happened that this freedom was red in one instance by reason of ly irregular pin in one of the Stretching the Gallons. If you think car ownership has re- solved itself into a few cut and dried learn here is a little stunt in gasoline economy worth trying: The next time you take a trip over the open road or through the city make no effort to coast nor to tamper with the carburetor. Instead, eliminate unnecessary stopping. Drive the car as though it had no brakes. Rather than take a chance proceed cautiously. You'll be surprised to find that your gas mileage will be the best you have ever obtained. It will convince you that stretching the gallons means to stop stopping. Killing momentum costs mo- ney. Grease Needed Here. Your radiator shutter device should have 2 little greasing now and again if it is so to work efficiently. It may seem as though a little grease on the shutter bearings should last for a long, long time, but you forget that there is often considerable heat at this point. Ordinary oil will quickly thin out and run off. Then, too, in extremely cold weather the grease may get gummy and hard so as to interfere with effi- cient operation of the device. The ans- wer is to see that the shutter ends are always clean and lubricated in accord- ance with weather and driving ¢ondi- tions. BATHING GIRLS ARE BANNED OUT IN B.C.
