LOCATING DEFECTS.

• It- is a good plan — now and then — to take a monkey wrench and go over the car looking for work. Work will always be found as the vibration of the car s has a way of loosening things up which is unbelievable. Especially is this true of the spring clips. As these clips hold the springs upon their seats they are subjected to considerable strain, and m a few months of driving the nuts will frequently work themselves loose. The result is that a sudden jolt of the car will often break the loosened clip. Since spring clips cannot be readily improvised on the road, their breakage is liable to give considerable trouble. A little exploration with the monkey wrench is> therefore, a good way m which to avoid an annoyance. — "Automobile Digest." : - ; ■
