Always use a tire cover to pro- tect the spart tire from the sun and rain. The spare tire should be put into service at frequent inter- \wals to keep the rubber from hard- ening. If it is kept out of use too lon it loses its elasticity. Put a rub r band in a box or drawer and allow it to remain for several weeks, particularly during hot weather, and it deteriorates rapid- ly. A tire will do the same thing. (loan Outâ€"51d Gram Front wheel bearin 3 get their lubricant from the hu caps.

If the lubricant is silvery in color, the fact is an indication that it is. tilled with dust filings. In such a case. it should be chang- ed without delay, for these sub- stances play havoc with the lubriâ€" cating qualities of the grease. Tightening Flays Double Keeping the body bolts tight has an advantage other than it serves to eliminate troublesome noises and wear. If the bolts are taken up regularly, it means that they are not allow-d to become so rusty that the nuts cannot be turned on them. It does not pay to allow this task to remain undone over a long period. for when the motorist gets around to it, he probably will lind that many of the bolls will have to he replared or allowed to remain IOose.

One of the first essentials in keeping the car in efficient work- ing order is regular and systemâ€" atic inspection and lubrication. A thorough inspection should be made once a month, and a system- atic inspection should be made every morning before taking the car from the garage. This dail inspection should include sue] things as the amount of water in the radiator, sufficient water in the battery, gasoline supply, on- gine oil and air in tires. Monthly inspection should include wheel alignment. bearing clutch, valve and gear adjustments, brakes, tires. battery, cooling system, elec- trical system, tightening of bolts. rattles, in fact. every part of the car. Whenever the engine fails in traffic, never pull out the. choke until the engine has been tried. I! the choke is used 109 soqn. the en: ()ne of the commonest mistakes in going over a car for the purpose of putting it in condition is to tighten the front wheels when thev are not loose. The motorist shakes the wheels and decides that because they seem loose they need to be drawn up tighter on their axles He does not realize that the looseness is the king pins. He could decide this point easily by noting that the ends of the axles move with the wheels when the looseness is felt. It‘ the wheels were really loose on the axles, the wheels. not the axles, would move when shaken.

But excluding punctures, which are practically unavoidable. more than 60 per cent. is attribut- ed tothe negligence of the ownersâ€"- thg_tires are usually ungieijinilated.

Finally, and least excusable of all. . the car runs out of gas. The habit can easnly be formed of watching the tank meter every time a motorist gets into his car. Yet this is not done and many a traf- tlc jam results from this inexcus- able fault. All this requires cultivation of a simple habitâ€"regular attendance to the vital parts of the car.

Personally, I am greatly indebted to him. and I think the province as well owes him a great. deal of gratitude. Nevertheless I felt. I owed it to him to carry out what. was more or less an understamling. and relieve him.” Able Successor ln respect to Mr. Hanna’s succes- sor. the premier said: “Naturally. I was delighted to secure the ser- vices of an outstanding man like Sir Henr}r Drayton. He has 1.0 his credit a long career of public ser- vice.

Mr. Hanna declined to comment on his retirement, but it is learn- ed from other sources that the business of the liquor control board has become so great as to engross practically all of his time, to the detriment of his many other business connections. This condi- tion, it is understood, is solely res- ponsible for his leaving. Dr. Man- ion_is leavingfor the same reason. Sir Henry Drayton was born in Kingston and received his early edication there and in England. He came to Toronto ano rapidly rose from the position of a comparative- ly unknown lawyer to that of cor- poration counsel of TorontO, then to the chairmanship of the Domin- ion railuay board and. in 1919, to the office of minister of finance in the Dominion Government.
