OXYGEN AS A
CARBON REMOVER

Tucson Garage Tries the Experiment
and Finds That ii Is Perfectly Sue
cessfuI IN Every Way.
The greatest difficulty with auto
mobile engines today consists of poor
fabrication or intense carbonization.
As carbonization is the most frequent
and is not confined to the cheap grade
of engines, as is insufficient lubrlca-
ton, engineers have for some time
been en6eavoring to clean out the
carbon deposits from the cylinders
without tearing the engine down.
The.e are a number Of systems on
the market but the most effective
so far has been the oxygen flame pro-
cess This method is being discussed
In all the technical magazines and the
protest that the flame injured the cyl
inder walls has been dissipated by the
statement of engineers that the firing
lame of the gasoline which drives the
engine is in reality hotter than the
oxygen flame used to clean the CYL
inders.
A Tucson garage recently Installed
one of these systems called the NuIte
system, in order to clean the carbon
out of an engine the spark plugs are
removed and a flexible tube with
brass nozzle is but into the combus-
ton chamber. The Is pounds pressure
Of oxygen is turned into the cylinder
and the gases lighted with maJch-
The flame soon burns out all the car
bon. This was proved by cleaning one
pair of cylinders by this method and
then taking off the other pair ana
comparing them. It was found that
the oxygen did better work than by
scraping, because not alone removing
the carbon the gas process did not
score any of the exposed parts as Is
often done by the scraptng method-
Some people have been Of the opinion
that the oxygen merely blew the carbon
out Of the cylinder and did not remove
it. much of it in their opinion being
blown into the valve pockets. That
this opinion is erroneous is amply
proved when it is taken into considera-
ton that each cylinder is cleaned when
it is in the firing position, and then
both valves are closed tight

BORDERLAND COM
PLETE TO DODGE CITY
Assures Good Road for AutOists From
Ell PasO via PlainV1eW ana Dhi-
hart to Santa Fe Trail.


DaIbart Texas, Feb. THE last
pap of the BOrderland automobile route
from Dodge City, Kan, to El Paso was
completed when local parties logged
the road between this place and STRAIT
ford. 2. distance Of AZ miles. The road
leaves the old Santa Fe trail at Dodge
CITY and follows the Rock Island to
Daihart; thence along the Colorado to
Gulf highway to Amarillo; thence to
Ell PasO via Plainview.
The road was logged several weeks
ago from Ell PasO to Dalhart by Mar
Gus Dods. of the BluebOok company,
who had to abandon the work here
because of the deep snow then on the
ground. Mr.. DOds reports that the
road between this place and Ell PasO
is in excellent condition, and local
parties who logged the road east, say
that there is no better road in the
country than the Dalhart-Stratford
line.
Sherman county has graded the road
from Stratford to the Dallam county
line, and Dallam county is planning to
grade the road tArrugh as soon as the
road from this place to TeXline IS fin
ished It is reported that all parts
of the upper Panhandle are intensely
interested in good roads and the coun-
ties through which the BOrderland and
Colorado to Gulf routes pass are
spending large sums Of money in put
ting the roads in excellent condition
for summer tourists.

"The farmers, manufacturers and
merchants of the United States are
annually wasting the price Of 1880
heavy duty motor trucks by sticking
to horses" says J. J. Longweu, agent
for the WHY'S Overland company, of
Toledo, Ohio. And this waste is ac-
cOmplished in only one feature of the
maintenance of horse and wagon trans
pOrtattOn methods-that of supplying
harness.
There are 25,OOO,OOO horses and
mules in the United States, and the very
low estimate of So per animal is the cost
Of harness alone. This is a total Of
$500, goo. 900 a year spent for this part
of transportation Upkeep. By the use
of motor trucks at least half of these
horses and mules could be done away
with, for it is a poor truck that will
not take the place of two horses. under
any condition. Thus we could save
$67,500,000 in harness costs alone and
this amount at $4,000 per vehicle would
purchase 1850 trucks.

Ruts in the road are very treacher-
Gus. Ones hould not attempt speed
over such roads. Recently there have
been several serious accidents caused
by the front wheels hitting rut and
causing the car to turn turtle. When
obliged to drive in rut it is advisable
to reduce speed considerably before at
tempting to turn out.

A frequent inspection of the gaso-
line line is advisable to prevent leak
age. A small leak at one Of the con-
nectiOns is easily eliminated, yet if not
quickly repaired may result in loss Of
the car by fire.
It is advisable to clean and readjust
the spark plugs occasionally. The
points burn away gradually and if not
readjusted cause irregular firing. The
motor viii also throttle better at low
speeds if the plugs are kept in proper
condition.
