A first time owner shouldn't buy
uch a car, for If anything he
anould get a car that will not give
him any serious mechanical trou

the used car, but cars In bad me

Put the same amount of .money In

Unfortunately, you cannot do thla.
The motorist should remember
that whenever heT uses the choke In
starting on a old day, a certain
amount of raw gasoline Is taken
Info the cylinder. That not only
means a waste of gasoline, but the
liquid fuel washes the oil away
from the cylinder wnll mid nrmmit
the piston and thus lntereferes with
luuricauon. ine gasoune then
flows down into the crankcas
where It dilutes tho lubricating oil
and this further impairs cngina
lubrication. It in a very serious
marter. but one which the mntorlir
has somewhat under his control.
He can avoid using the choke tod
much. Where u nrtmei iM Hltrl It
should not be kept In the "on" posi
tion arter tiring has taken place,
If a force typo of primer Is used,
one or two etrrikes of thu hfhyim
should be sufficient. Then after the
rnvine gets started permit It to run
Idle for about five mlnntea I, .,,-
making It pull. ' The will irivc the
oil a chance to become warm and
the moving parts an opportunity to
'cecome covered with a nice oil film..
W'hen the oil becomes thick frons
the cold It will not circulate sd
readily, especially through a force
feed system where tho nil passages
are pretty small In diameter.
A good plece of equipment Is a
radiator and engine cover or a
shutter so that the enplne may be
warmed quickly. Anything that cut
off the air draught will do tha)
work. That is wiy yon seo some,
cars with paper over the tront of
the radiator. It Is Inen RVftnlnnl In
stick a ploce of paper against the
rauiaxor every time you start out;
otherwise there Is no objection to
doing It. The ohiect 111 fnM wath-
er should be to warm up the engine
quickly and keep It warm. Wh ip
fctandlng there 1 Uttlr you can do
exceipt cover the radiator. Jf your
car Is not equipped with a, radiator
cover or shutter resort tc the old
method ot throwing a blanket over
the hood. The unjy trout i0 w)tj

Dear Barney Oldflsld:
Can the batiary loss Its power, as
the result of a skid. J. L. MoO.
I cannot sea any Connection be
tween tha two things unless whsn
you sklddad tbs battery was struck.
This hardly seams possible thourh.
as la most cars the battery Is be
tween th frame ralls.
Dear BarneyOld field r
VTien I leave my oar stand for
some time and than tv. it . -
works fins until I o about fifteen
miles. Then it starts to knock. The
further I ma aver fletaan mii.. .w.
mors it knocks. When I leave it
stand, and start tha engine every
spark plug ftres, but as soon as I
start to run the car It sesins as if
some of them miss.
How often hould I fill trp the dlN
fersntlal and and tranimi..u. .i.v
grease? W. A.

Hi!! afU.rt niUHrlni, mnA kimliln-
This is caused directly by the plugs
uecoming louisa.
Do not use grease In a transmis
sion or axle housing-. Use gear oil.
Fill to level once every L"00 miles.
Bonis housings will retain lubricant
longer, but you should test the level
every 1,000 miles.
Dear Barney Oldfleld:
I am a constant reader of your
articles. Will you please give me
some Information about my car?
As long as I run it at 20 or more
miles per hour It runs fine but as
soon as I slow down to about 10
miles ner hour It ataeta tn 4oir t
have put in new spark plugs. The
pwton rings are u. K. There are
new coil tips on a new timer, the
valve! have been cleaned, also the
carburator but the car Jerks as be
fore. R. II. W.
Usually trouble of this kind may
be traced to the engine which lacks
power owing to any number of con
ditions weak Hpark, leaks in th
cyunuer neaa, poor compression,
Jl e"glne flr" " al1 tour
and shows good compression, then
the trouble Is due to wear in the
driving parts he transmission,
universal Joint, pinion and ring
gear, axje shafts, etc. It Is Im
possible lo tell Just where the play
exists without making an examination
