of hundred dollars apd will not feel like charging land rent to this expense if you can spare a space 12x 16—and anybody who can keep chickens can afford the space required by a car. .The cost of storage in a public garage in the city may vary from $10 to $30 dollars per month, but if we average $15 we will find a total cost of about one and one-half cents per mile. Of course, in a public garage heat will be supplied to keep your car from freezing, while in your own private garage you must use some means of preventing freezing. Therefore, we will assume that the cost in either city or country will ap- proximate this cost of one and one-half cents per mile. NJOW whether you are a millionaire or 4N whether you had to mortgage your house to bu: ur car, its cost will repre- sent a certain investment which will not be returned on your money. Money is supposed to cost six per cent. and if your car cost you $1,500 you are losing $90 a year through the failure of that money to earn interest. This gives us another charge of slightly less than one cent a mile for interest. But this is not the worst or the most of your motoring costs. When you have run your car, say, for three years at an average of 10,000 miles a year, or a total of 30,000 miles—naturally, you want a new one. You have paid the costs, which I have enumerated, and have de- cided to advertise it as a second-hand car or turn it in as part payment for a late model. What do you find? You cannot get more than one-third of what the car cost you, assuming that prices have remained stabilized. The value of your $1,500 car has shrunk to $500 and this item of depreciation is one of the biggest problems of motoring cost. One thousand dollars has actually dis- appeared in some mysterious manner during the operation of your car, (Continued on page 32) DO YOU KNOW: 1.

Answers to these questions will be found in the next issue of the Motor Department. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS IN THE LAST MOTOR DEPARTMENT 1, Why too or three thousand pounds pressure teill not always free a clogged grease passage? ‘The pressure is given in pounds per square inch. ‘The hole through which the grease issues in order to lubricate the spring shackle bolts or other part of the car may not be more than a sixteenth of an inch in diameter. This will mean, therefore, that the actual pressure exerted at the small opening may not be over ten pounds, but if the shackle bolt is so turned that the weight of the car is resting ‘on this shackle, such a pressure will be insufficient to force the grease through the hole against this load. Even dry grease may require a greater Pressure than ten pounds to be unseated. Conse- quently, when greasing the car it is better to rock it back and forth to relieve the shackle bolt of the load and allow the grease to flow through. 2, Why may the motometer register sooner with @ full radiator than with a partially empty one? As the water heats it expands and may rise, in the case of a full radiator, so as to surround tl balb of the thermometer extending below the moto- meter.
