McHenry, 111. starters cause rnntft troubls to motorists, according to a bulletin Issued by the mechanical first-aid department of the Chicago Motor club. In many caaes this is caused by startto? the car with the spark advanced. Ia the old days when cars were cranked by hand the motorist remembered the possibility of a broken arm an J so he was careful to retard the spark before starting. Today, however, the spark is often forgotten and Jammed starter gears are legion. To loosen the spring torn the ignition off, engage high gear and rock the car back snd forth several times. Rocking the car from side to side will do no good. The backward motion la the one that frees the drive. Various Cause* of Trouble. Never tow a car forward with the •tarter stack, as the forward movement Jams it tighter. Worn-out brashes may cause considerable damage to the starter. If too low they will cause an electric arc which will burn and pit the commutator, and In some cases even melt the solder In the armature connections. Sixty per cent of the Ignition calls handled last year by the mechanical flrst-ald department were the result of loose wires or battery terminals. Loose ammeter connections are most likely to cause motorists trouble. A single wire leads to the recording ammeter on the Instrument board and Is fastened with a screw terminal. Frequently It works loose. If it comes off entirely there Is a break in the electrical system, in which case the car will not start, the horn will not blow, nor will lights burn. If, however, the horn and lights do work the trouble cannot be a broken circuit there and can be traced to the distributor, coll, or possibly corroded battery terminals. The battery terminals may be corroded so badly that sufficient current will not pass to operate the starter or the engine and yet allow enough for the lights and for the horn. The corrosion can be cleaned off with a file and a good connection made. Trouble With Ammeter. As a rule there Is more trouble with the ammeter wire getting loose without coming off than there Is If It be-! comes entirely detached. When It i comes loose it may remain in contact | for some distance and a bump in the road may Jolt it free. The driver may \ experiment with the car fbr a while | and perhaps the wire will establish; contact only to break It later. This process will be repeated until the nut of the terminal Is tightened. Loose battery terminals rank next to loose ammeter wires from a trouble standpoint. Here the horn or light test will show whether there is a complete break In the circuit, or If like the ammeter wire they may be only loose, so as to make and break the connection. Automobile accidents do happen in the best regulated families that own motor cars. Those who tr? most expert in handling an automobile may be Involved in the most serious accidents.; The most efficent men at the wheel of a car may not be able to avoid a •rash when another driver on the ««»« K«d is careless. When an accident occurs, the motorist can see to it that first aid is effectively administered to all who! need it. Every driver should carry a small case of first aid materials as a part of the equipment of the car, When there is an accident, try to finds out who has been injured most. These should receive first consideration. Ii there are serious injuries, an ambu lance should be called or another car secured to hurry the injured to the nearest hospital or physician's office. Should there be any bad cuta indi eating that arteries or large veins; have been severed and that the victim is bleeding badly, it is important to tie something around the arm or body which will stop the flow if not en* tirely at least to some extent. A hand kerchief or any rag may answer the purpose, by using a pencil or stick to make a tourniquet. It should be tied around the place between the wound and the heart. If it is found that bones are broken, relieve at once the tension any clothing may be causing and get tiie patient to lie down and remain as stiff as possible. See that sotne one watches such person closely as the victim is apt to faint. When you are in an accident, undertake to get the names and addresses of all the people who actually saw what took place. Many people will leave a crowd as soon as any one starts to take names. If possible, attract the attention of a police officer and request him to hold all witnesses until the names and addresses of the onlookers have been collected.

Homemade Gaskets Prove to Be Quite Efficient Some of the^ paper gaskets used under transmission and differential covers, between carburetor flanges and In many other places often are of complicated pattern. When, as It sometimes happens to the amateur repair man, the original gasket breaks a very tlsfactory Job can always be made with the aid of a machlnists's hammer, a little shellac and a piece of •loot paper. The first operation la to dean with gasoline the surface upon which the gasket Is to go; next cat the paper as nearly as possible to lhape. Fasten In place with sheUac and let it dry, which requires only a tew minutes. Now, with a hammer, tap along the edges until the edge breaks through the paper. When you tome to rounded corners or to screw and bolt holes, use the round or peendig end of the hammer. When even paper or shellac Is lacking a piece of lord under a transmission or differential cover, eta, will n£ake a grease* tight joint Chilly Mornings and Evenings Can be offset by our Wheeling and Perfection OIL HEATER^ No need to start the furnace rot.
