UNFORESEEN BUMP HARD ON SPRINGS Mu ch of Expense , Time and Temper Could Be Saved in Most Cases. How nraeh blas phemy has been vo iced and money spent because an unforeseen bum p caused a spring to ¦na p and make it necessar y for the motorist to l imp to the neares t garage on the axle ? Thou gh It Is impossible to answer each a question accurate ly, I t Is cer- tain that much of the expense , time and tempe r cou ld have been saved If the car dr iver had been Informed of spring action and prepared his car lp advance for such emergencies . Ordinary usage over smooth roads never breaks springs . Sprin g break- age Is caused by high speed over had paving or the hard hittin g of rough spots in the roads. Spring designers and car builders understand this and try to get springs that will withstand severe shoc ks , yet afford sufficient flexibility for good paving. Nature of Rebound. When a spring has sudden ly been compressed or fully flattened so that the car an d axle come together , the energy of the spring steel Immediately exerts a pressure to return the spring to its natu ral shape. With the wheels on the ground , there can obviously be no give In that direction , with the re- sult the car body Is thrown violently u pward. This action is called \ rebound . \ and It Is that rebound that causes discom- fort to the car passengers. Fur thermore when the car frame bounces u pward it goes beyond the normal stage and tends to pull the springs and axle upward, thus put- tin g an unnatural strain on the sprin g. It Is th is action that is as destructive to springs as the original sudden com- press ion. Should such action occur to- the rear axle , the wheels then li fted oil the ground by the rebo und will start to spin , with the result that they dig tbe surface doubl y har d when they hi t the road again. Many ty pe* of Devices. For several years car manufactur- ers have rea lized the need for a de- vice that would control the rebound. Some , even now , equ ip their cars with a \ roa d levellzer \ (which might bet- ter be called a \ car-ac tion levellxer \) before they are shipped. Practical ly all manu facturers provide holes In the car frames for the instal lation of re bound-control devices. There are man y types of devices on the market , and they usua lly are called shock absorbers or levelizers , tlieir duty being to levellze the action o f the car. The o bject of a true levellzer is to allow the springs free play when on good roads uud to control the re- bound when bumps are lilt. The lat- ter is accomplished by preventing the compressed sprin gs from expanding fou quic kly anil by minimizing the dl.sustrouM snap thut causes so much spring breakage and riding discom- fort.

She knows , by ex perience , exactl y what markets car- r y the greatest bargains. Which Is as it should be for a good wife knows through her husband' s stomach. But the shortest way to married bliss is m y advice to her—get off the beaten track—go out into the country—tackle the farmer who grows these thin gs and save even more money. The trails to rock-bottom prices do no t always follow the main highways , but quite often lead off to the side roads and down lanes. Fortunate in- deed is the motorist who can follow this trail to its end on his or her firs: trip to the country. It sometimes .eju lres a numbe r of trips and several st ops at farms before satisfactory pur- hases of tresh fruits - trod - other farm products can be made. When the right farm is found the consumer will rea lize that it was worth all the .rouble of the search. Some common-sense rules must he observed in trying to buy directly from the farmer. He does not like ' .o be disturbed at his work in the fields. The bes t time to approach him is when he is sorting or packing fruits or vegetables in the sheds near the farmhouse and getting a load -ead y to send to market. The east- ern truck and fruit growers mostly nake up the ir loads in the late after- noons , a time convenient lor most mo- tor ists , and ma ke their trips to mar- ket at night. It Is not well to ask a farmer or driver to sell you a basket or hamp- er from a full load. The (arm wagons and motor trucks are often so con- struc ted as to hold a certain number o f baskets or hampers. To remove one or more from that load might re- sul t In the others shifting about and m ight cause considerable loss from the breaking o! the containers. This o f cou rse, does not ap ply to the huck- s ter-farmer. Don ' t expect the farmer to bother wi th sales in small quantities such as you migh t get at the grocery store. Buy in the \ ori ginal package \ or by the basket or hamper or barrel. The governmen t requires standardization o f all food-products containers and there isn 't nearl y as much danger of your being given short measure when you buy in bulk as when you buy by the quart or quarter of a peck. The o pen season for the motor mar- ket basket runs from earl y spring to la te fall. The best time for making quantity purchases of vegetables and fruits to store or can tor the w inter , however, is in the late summer or early fall.
