IIS YOUR OT I- READY FI THE-SPRING THE-SPRING DIE? - Mirny of the harbingers of spring are with xis. The "kids" are playing hiifi$les, the department stores are crowded with women buying spring apt; summer finery, the sap is running in the trees and last but not least, mo-tor mo-tor cars stored by their owners dur-HM dur-HM ing the winter months, are like the Ii chrysalis from the cocoon, ernorgi ig from thousands of garages. George V. Gurney, of the Columbia Motors company, com-pany, offers the following suggestions tp'all car owners as to what should be done to the car to make its spring de' but a smoothly-running success: ''The entire car should be gone over to see that all wearing and bearing parts are properly lubricated after nil-winter nil-winter storage. Proper lubrication of the car at the right time will insure the owner against many troubles to say nothing of expense and days without with-out a car at all. "fill the grease and oil cups should bqij given proper attention. The old grease should be removed from the cups, the cups cleaned and new, fresh grease put in the cups. Screw each cup all the way down to replace tne old, dried-up or frozen up grease in lue running or wearing part. "Particular attention should be given giv-en the valve stems before the motor is started. See that they are well lubricated. lubri-cated. This will prevent the valvo stem from sticking, breaking or bending. bend-ing. "The battery should be removed, taken out and sent to a battery service serv-ice station. If it has been neglected during the winter it is possible that the plates are buckled or cracked, rendering ren-dering the battery worthless. And, last but not least, go over the car from one end to another, lighten up all loose nuts, bolts and examine cotter pins and brakes."
