Mako Good Examlna,lon.

In searching for trouble OF any kind,
the motorist generally examines the
face Of his valves. either inlet or ex-
haust, and II they are found to at
tight and to be apparently in good
order his examination seldom goes
further. But It Is very possible that
the cause of the trouble may be the
valve spindles and guides. or course,
every motorist realizes that tho mix
lture is the all important matter as
regards the carburetor. The proper
lions of vapor and air may easily be
upset, II from wear the valve stems
are reduced or the space between the
guides become enlarged, as q small
amount OF air at this point is enough
to destroy the proper proportions of
the mixture. When this occurs the
action Of the throttle Is rendered un.
even. One minute the engine speeds
up and the next II drags heavily. It
is advisable. therefore to give more
than a cursory glance at the valves,
when n Is having trouble with the
ta~ccelerator.

In bringing a car to q stop the

hand turning the wheel and the left
hand forcing the collar Upward into

automatically locking the car. A diff.

CINE before getting into the car, he
would be unable to remove It from

Keep Crank Case CLEAN.

Because all Of the oil contained In

FEAR FOR PORKER'S SAFETY

Gloom is lowering around the Velo-

caused by the fact that the bicycle
riders have CONT to Boston and de-
serted the plant or that the European
war may raise the high cost of living
among the toll dodgers, but the real
reason for the depression of spirits is
the fact that Minnie, Floyd MacFar-

horrible discovery was made today
when Willie Bodies, custodian of Min

now in Berlin, in a letter to Floyd

Schwab states that Walter Rutt has
contracted catarrah of the lungs and
is at a hospital in Berlin in such n
precarious condition that his Wife and
child are constantly in attendance.
Rutt was taken sick while doing mill
tary duty in France and became SO
bad that his removal to the hospital
in the German capital was ordered.

prisoner of the Germans and he is
incarcerated near the fortress of
