Show dust forms a substance similar to emery compound lhat cuts fine grindines of Pteel from the leavc-a of the springs. 'hen these grinding come in contact witn moisture the effect Is a heavy coating of rust between the leaves of 'the springs. This rust holds one leaf to the other, so that instead of tiie leaves of the springs slipping on one another as they should they work as if they were made of one solid piece of steel. It will appear to some that the leaves of the springs are set so close to one another an-other that .dust cannot enter In between them. This Is true when the car is ptand-ing ptand-ing still, but when the car is in motion the tires are always carrying eo-me amount of dust with them. Tiie springs must have proper lubrication. lubrica-tion. Oil is much better than grease, for the reason that it will flow more freely, thereby finding all dry spots.
