CARBON CAUSES TROUBLE.
Forms in Spite Of All Precautions
Taken by Motorists.

It's interesting to read the ideas and
opinions of many of the so-called motor
experts who advance thousand and one
reasons why the average automobile
motor lacks poTer. The carburetor, the
spark plugs. the magnetic, the piston
rings, the cylinders the exhaust and
other things are blamed. and it is the
usual thing for the average motorist to
either monkey" with the carburetor or
other parts of the motor. or even to
send it to the repair shop. when as d
matter of fact a careful examination

spite of every precaution. form in every
motor to a greater or less extent and
naturally retard the free movement of
the motor. cause premature explosions.
burn up the mixture and make itself a
general nuisance.
Whenever you are suspicious of the
for carbon, because for every mile that
you run your car you must expect that
the carbon is forming. and neglected it
forms into a deposit that is crowned by
little pinnacles. These latter. while the
motor is in USE become white hot and
prematurely ignite the mixture and
nullify the explosion. 1t stands to reason
that in very few cases can motor trouble
be ATTRIBUTED 10 Oe1ectS In engine or the
carburetor, because manufacturers leave
no effort unused to produce machinery
that will be perfect in every respect. and
as the reputation Of their product is at
stake they are naturally anxious that
their cars shall spend as little time as
possible in the repair shops. Of course.
the novice, or the careless man. riullifies
all this precaution by injudicious tinker
ing with the motor or it's adjustments
When car has run over 800 miles it is
safe to say that the carbon deposit ac-
cumulated will impair the power of the
motor. although to many motorists 1t
may be imperceptible. Unless it is re-
moved. it is only a question Of time be-
fore the car must go into the shop and
the carbon be removed by scraping. A
way has been discovered by which car
bon formation can be kept down to min
imum and a smooth-running motor in
sured. This preparation has been meet
ing with tremendous success after its
preliminary try-out of over a year be-
fore it was placed on the market. and
it's makers are being showered with MANY
enthusiastic testimonials as to its af
ficiency. 1t has been tested out thor
oughly and will not iniure any motor
and its sale is just as big among owners
Of such cars as the Winton, Packard
Pierce. Peerless. etc. as among the more
modest types. such as the Ford. Hudson

Caring for Spark Plugs.

Most owners carry such things as spark
ing plugs and valves in every haphazard
fashion. The following wrinkles may in
terest the careful owner. The sparkling
plugs were all of the same make and size,
as sold in cylindrical wooden boxes. A
hunt round resulted in finding an old tin
box of exactly the right size to carry a
dozen of the wooden cylinders without
rafting when padded with little cotton
waste. The valves presented a more diff

They Ride Easy

Motorists and motor car makers
once thought that only pneumatic
tires could be easy riding and resili-
ent, but Motz Cushion Tires upset all
calculations. Thousands now know
from experience, from using Mofz
Cushion Tires, that they were wrong.
They know that no pneumatic, except
under excessive speed, is more resili-
ent than the Mott.
Note the construction of this re-
markable tire. Note the double,
notched treads A in picture), which
prevent skidding and distribute the
weight to the sides. The sides are
undercut (see b. which allows free
action of slantwise bridges (see c..
These bridges are elastic. They give
and yield like the air in pneumatic
tire. Note D in the picture, showing
notwithstanding qualities when tire

Needless to say, Motz Cushion
Tires end all punctures and blowouts.

NEW POSTAL LAW EN-.
FORCED IN JACKSONVILLE

jacksonville, March 24.-Married
women and young girls who have
been getting their mail at the gen.
eial delivery window at the post
Office have received a rude shock. In
the future any person getting geA-
eral delivery mail may he required to
2iNr their home address and the reas
ons for obtaining mail at the post
tilicc instead OF at their home, or
trcir mail may be withheld until
Itacir reasons are Investigated.
This order was issued some time
since by the first assistant postmaster
Z, neral and gradually has bcen put
into force here, until now the num-
Ior of girls and women calling for
mail ut the general delivery window
ihas decreased to Il mere fraction of
sthc number calling in the past.
i The main idea OF this order is to
prevent the misuse of the mails by
ycung girls and foolish women and
I protect them against their own
folly. The general delivery has been
the means of making many clandes-
tine engagements and has led to the
downfall of many girls. In the fu-
ture the postmaster has it in his
hands to break up all such cOrre-
spOndence. and it is being done here.
