Our Own Motor Department Questions Answered By GLEN F. STILLWELL NUT, asks: “My piston pumps A oil, what shall I do?” * Remove the piston. A friend of ours, bothered with this trouble, connected a pipe line to the cylinder, and became independently rich by | selling oil stocks on it. Stove Bolt, writes: “I have a knock in my ‘bus.’ How can I silence it?” Open the cut-out, Stove. If you still hear it, shut off the engine, and the noise will disappear. Harry Sparks wants to know how he can drive his Slippery Six eco- nomically. If you are planning a trip in your “bus,” Harry, don’t take it. Don’t leave the garage. Jack up the rear wheels, start the motor, and work the steering wheel back and forth. Toot the horn occasionally and change a tire now and then. You might drop your friends a post card to heighten the illusion. Miss Fan Belt, asks: ‘Suppose I have a puncture on the road and have no repairs, what must I do?” We don’t see how a puncture on the road would bother you, but maybe you mean a puncture in your tire. In that event you will have to come in flat. But don’t come in with just one tire deflated. That would throw the wheel base at right angles with the torgue, and cause undue wear on ! the flywheel. Deflate all your tires and proceed. Red E. Ator’s question is: hit a tree, what then?” We don’t quite get you, Red, “What then?” You might try bumping over a barn. If the tree is still standing, remove it, and proceed. However, it would be advisable to consult your re- pair manual if there are no more trees in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Pawl Pin, asks: “How can I avoid punctures?” If I wanted to give you a smart answer I would say, “Don’t run over a nail.” But the way to avoid punc- tures is, in touring, always start a week sooner than you intended so that you will get where you are going Keep YourSkin-Pores Active and Healthy With Cuticura Soa ! 25e.everywhere.For samples Soap.

People from every class of telephone users, mem- bers of every trade, profession and business, as well as thousands of trust funds, are partners in this great- est investment democracy which is made up of the more than 175,000 stockholders of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. If this great body of people clasped hands they would form a line more than 150 miles long. Marching by your door, it would take more than 48 hours of cease- less tramping for the line to pass. This democracy of Bell telephone owners is greater in number than the entire population of one of our states; and more than half of its owners are women. There is one Bell telephone share- holder for every 34 telephone sub- scribers. No other great industry has so democratic a distribution of its shares; no other industry is so completely owned by the people it serves. In the truest sense, the Bell System is an organization “‘of the people, by the people, for the people.” It is, therefore, not surprising that the Bell System gives the best and cheapest telephone service to be found anywhere in the world. “BELL System” AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy, One System, Universal Service, and all directed toward Better Service before you get there. Consequently you will not be in a hurry to get where you are going, or to be more explicit, you will get where you are going before you start. Always carry the following in your tool kit: ¥% dozen extra tires. 1 dozen inner tubes. 1 gross of tire patches. 1 25-pound sledge. 1 tank of compressed air, tire tools, pliers, jack, ete. Above all, live in constant dread of on tire trouble and you will never have it. Keep repeating to yourself, “That back tire has a bad blister,” or, “That front casing is about ready to blow out.” Never boast of your freedom of tire trouble. It is fatal. Godfrey Gas wants to know this: “Tf I lose the trail what am I to do?” In that case, Godfrey, you might look it up in the dictionary, although the professional motorist usually tinkers with the carburetor. comicbooks.com
