tell me?
A. Cars do "tell” their owners when something is
wrong by making peculiar noises. And
usually do so long before a car actually breaks
down. It's important to listen for these early
warning sounds to help you avoid costly
repairs. Here are a few of the more common
noises and what they mean.
Click (rhythmic, high-pitched metallic tap¬
ping): Could indicate a loose hubcap; defective
wheel bearing; bent or loose fan blade; low oil
level m engine; loose manifold heat-control
valve.
Clunk (or dull thump): Possibly a defective
universal joint or rear differential; transmission
fluid may be low.
Heavy knock (or pounding): Worn
crankshaft main bearing, bad connecting rod or loose
bolts in torque converter.
Ping (or knock): Car may be in need of tune-up;
octane of fuel may be too low for engine.
Screech (or scraping metal sound): Possible break
problem.
Squeak (or high pitched rubbing): Defective drum
brake linings; chassis needs lubrication; worn suspen¬
sion bushing.
Squeal (high pitched whine): Underinflated tires,
misaligned*wheels; loose or worn power steering fan or
air conditioning compressor belt.

good, let go and see how many times the car bounces.
Healthy shocks should stop it after one bounce. Weak
shocks will allow the car to bounce twice or more.
Weak shock absorbers can affect overall handling and
also lead to uneven tire wear.
Q. A mechanic I'm not. What about some really easy
tips?
A. Even in winter, run your air conditioner for a few
minutes every week to keep the system well lubricated.
You can also check your horn to make sure it's working
properly, and you can have someone else watch as you
check all your car's lights and signals.

A. One reason for difficult handling is often
misalignment of your car. Wear and tear on
the steering and suspension components in
your car is normal. The problem is that as
these components wear, your car's alignment
changes. Alignment can also be affected by
hitting curbs or potholes. Fail to make the
necessary adjustments and your car's handling
will be impaired.
Another possible cause of a rough ride is
worn shock absorbers. If your shocks are
more than 15,000 miles old, you should per¬
form this simple check: bounce the car up and
down hard at each wheel. Once it's going

CLUES ACROSS:
1. PUSHED not rushed. The clue implies that this
would go against the grain of such a "conscientious
newcomer," favoring his "being PUSHED." "Quickly"
is pointless with rushed and, furthermore, said
"newcomer" could be already holding another
"executive position."
6. HATE not fate. It's true that fate always "is
significant" during our lives, whether favorably or
unfavorably. Thus the phrase, "when there's
involvement in the war," better tits the HATE that "is
certainly significant" at such a time.
8. ROBE not rope There's some minor "difficulty" to
do this as interred in the due, pointing to "shortening
(e g. by hemming or trimming) a ROBE." Rope needs
to be further qualified as it's so simple to cut, or knot
"a rope" as a means of "shortening" it.

1. Long-standrig baseball fans have surely heard of tie — of Babe Ruth
2. Truly considerate son wouldn't knowingly let his mother

3. Scarf.
4. After breaking — in public brawl, it's better for man not to

13. Mineral.

16 Jumped.
17. Saddled with too much work over extended period could
easily make employee
19. Elephant tusks, for instance
21. Authentic
22. Revise a manuscript
23 Undertake a winter sport
10. READ not reap. The fact that this happens "often"
and it concerns one "individuaP favors READ Reap
is too vague as reaping (e g. harvesting gram) is so
frequently a team effort and not "often noticeably
quick"
11 TURNED not burned Burned is poor
grammatically as the expression, "forgetting about
buns being burned on the grill" is too vague
"Forgetting" the action of "buns to be TURNED" links
directly as something that "is usually annoying "
13. GATE not game. The problems faced by the fans
of getting to the "major sports playoff could easily*
have a detrimental "effect" on "the GATE," yes. But It
may well be an indoor sport (e.g basketball) and thus
not bothered by the "weather."
16 PLANT not plane Having "general overhaul work
done in it" is better suited to a PLANT. Such
extensive "overhaul work" is commonly said to be
"done" on a plane.
17 BEG not bet More apt of BEG and possibly
"realizing very little" results in "so doing." The
outcome could be related to the kind ol BEGging, the
mood ot the people, etc. In contrast, it "no one" is
willing "to bet locally," nothing would be "realized "
23. FORMAL not normal Seeing "FORMAL
behavior" on the part of "someone" whose general
conduct "is notoriously unconventional" makes a
positive answer But there are periods of "behaving
normally" which are common to everyone (e g
sleeping)
CLUES DOWN:
4 EARNINGS not warnings Simply maintaining
‘regular, suitable warnings' is too vague as they
could go unheeded, leading to very serious
outside (back) of an envelope. Then take the entry to the place of business of one of
the above sponsors and drop it in the box provided. Deadline is 5:00 p.m. Friday of
each week. No entries will be accepted other than those deposited with the sponsors.
7. A minimum cash prize of $25 wil be awarded tor the correct solution. H more than
one correct solution is received by the deadline, the prize will be divided equally
among the winners. If no correct solution is receded, the prize wil increase by $25
each week until won.
8. The correct solution and names of winners wil be published the following week
9. The decision of the judges is final, and all contestants agree to accept that decision
as a oondfon of entry. Remember, there is only one oorrect solution tor each week's
puzzle, and only the correct solution can win. Only one oorrect solution will be
accepted from any one individual. For each due, only the word designated by the
author wil be considered oorrect. .
Page 7B
complications Receiving "suitable EARNINGS" on a
"regular" basis makes a clear-cut answer
9 FULL not dull. "Tired after a very FULL day of
activity" is more to the point. Though dull, the
"person's" interest and temperament could be of a
very complacent nature so as not to get "tired"
12. WISELY not widely "Be certain that his goods are
WISELY distributed" makes a comprehensive answer
that would include widely when such "distribution"
applies However, some new goods might be in a
limited test market only, making widely inapt
16. PLAY not pray "When conscientious people
pray." what they "pray lor" is always "important" to
them. There are times to "PLAY when" it can be
strictly for fun, but "they" are indeed "hopeful" ol
winning "when it's for something important"
17. BONUS not bonds "Receiving" a BONUS
(defined as: "an extra payment as an incentive or
reward") whether or not ifs what one hoped for is, "at
least, somewhat pleasing"
18. REGARD nol reward. The clue word "enhances"
(defined as: "to improve the quality or condition")
favors REGARD in the sense of improving the
REGARD of the individual who performed the "truly
gallant act." Ifs rather what he gets as a reward.
19. SCARS not scad. Something that "serves" as an
actual means of "identification of the person (i.e. "a
bank robbed) is much better suited to SCARS A
scarf is simply an article of clothing which could be
worn for the occasion and then thrown away
22 JOYS not toys.JOYS makes an all-inclusive
answer embracing numerous happy occurrences at
"a youngster's big birthday party" such as playing
games, eating goodies, etc.
