l Helpful Hints ‘
One of the many mistakes which be-
ginners frequently make is to rest the
feet on clutch and brake pedals. it
wears out clutch collar, making it
noisy and may cause brake to drag.
wearing it also. The best position is
to have «both feet near the pedals
ready for instant use.
You probably keep track of tire
mileage, but do you keep track of
,volve mileage also? Your valves
‘should be ground in at least every
1,000 miles, although some people let.
,tltem run to 1.500. At that time they
‘wtu be found
.that it will be a long
:them. Grind one a. week or so and it
will not seem'such a. terrible job, on-
less the head must be removed to take
out the valves, when all must be
ground at once.
Most people neglect the tires, ‘be-
cause they are apt to get. their hands
soiled. Go over the trends carefully
from time to time, digging out small
stones and filling the cuts with tire
putty. You will be surprised at the
increased mileage you will get.
. Now in the time of year to go over
the top carefully, lookim: for weak
inputs or holes. You can get patches
from your supply dealer that match
the color of the top very closely.
Another cold weather Suggestion is
to avoid frozen. rats as much as possi-
ble. They chafe the tire on the sides.
where it is not Very well protected.
So keep out of them as much as possi-
ble.

ninc. One evening last week when
downtown. after leaving our for fife
teen minutes, the engine stock
could not be turned over. The ma»
chine was lchd home. After arriv-
in‘: home the cosine was tricd, and
turned as lightly on ever. A
neighbor stated that the motor was
probably “frozen on center." and that
the oil was low, but the oil was flow-
ing through eight-feed on dash. Be-
fore towing home it was noticed that
the. gears seemed stuck in neutral,
and that it required considerable e1
fort to release and shift gear lever.
Fresh oil was put into crank case
and the machine was brought down’
town the following day. After it had
been run about town for over an hour
and left standing for that length of

The trouble in cranking engine was
probably due to the gears being in
