Perhaps the most objectionable 
‘noise in a car is that caused by a 
general looseness all around; parts 
shaking about which ought to be 
rigidly attached to some portion of 
the mechanism. This denotes a 
‘general carelessness in attention to 
‘the machine and can only be oviated 
iby frequent inspection and _ the 
‘tightening up of all parts liable to 
ome loose from the very first time 
‘the cav is used on the road. If a ear 
has been habitually neglected in this 
“respect it becomes almost impossible 
tto remedy the general noisiness, and 
“many cars which should run prac- 
tically silently for years will, if not 
attended to, speedily become incur- 
able rattleboxes.. A distinct knock 
will be set up if heavy parts, such as 
the gear box and crank case become 
loose on their bearings through the 
slackening back of the nuts. .This 
happened in the case of a gear box 
through one nut slackening baek 
and causing a knock that was very 
difficult to locate. It is very necessary 
therefore to see that all parts are 
properly tightened up.

Don’t Do It. 
Don't race the engine. If you re- 
lease the clutch the engine will run 
away. Close the throttle. You can 
not abuse the motor worse than by 
allowing it to race at a high speed 
without load. 
- Don’t advance the spark lever 
when cranking. 
- Don’t shift the gears without first 
’ releasing the clutch. 
Don’t apply the brakes hard ex- 
cept in an emergency. 
Don‘{ start before seeing to the 
gasoline, oil and water. 
Don’t tear the motor to pieces. 
Locate the trouble first. 
Don’t allow the machinery to be 
~ covered with dirt. Wipe it often. 
Don” let in the clutch suddenly. 
Don’t hurry when operating the 
car and gear shift lever. ‘ 
Don’t allow motor to knock by 
reason of having the spark lever ad- 
vance too far ahead on heavy grades 
or where pulling a heavy load. 
The driver will, however, find it best 
to keep his spark advanced where 
the pull is slight, as the motor works 
cooler and uses less gasoline.

seven-passenger machine cannot be 
made lighter than the present most 
approved practise accomplishes. 
Many contemplating buyers stand 
aghast at the heavier appearing ma- 
chines, and charge up to the disad- 
vantage of this class of cars a 
greater consumption of gasoline and 
added wear and tear on tires with a 
general advance in all-round up- 
keep. 
The average big car runs ten miles 
to a gallon of gasoline, At an ever- 
age cost of 15 cents per gallon, this 
is 1144 cents a mile, and with the an- 
nual mileage of 10,000 imiles—ad- 
mittedly a high but not unusual 
mileage of the heavier capable cars 
—it would show an expenditure of 
$150. 
A heavier car might only make 
eight miles to a gallon of gasoline, 
which would be an additional fuel 
cost of 20 percent; or $30 per annum 
easily made up in the item of re- 
pairs, of which the latter cars are, of
