t" erect road signs throughout the county
AT the most important points. Griffin

feet high of galvanized iron and porcelain
and erected on base of concrete two
and half feet thick. Arrows will indi-
cate the direction of the roads. while the
mileage and character of the roads will
also be shown on the signs, which will he
of attractive design. The signs will cost
ON an average of about SIG apiece. Sim

HINTS To
MOTORISTS

Missing at low speed is not the fault of
| the carburetor unless the low speed adj
justment is out and hence the mixture in
correct After adjusting the carburetor
fails to remedy the trouble. look for air
leaks between the throttle and cylinder,
especially in the cylinder connection of the
intake manifold. If the missing is in one
cylinder. valve may be sticking. or
need grinding, or Summed piston ring
may allow compression to escape. An air
leak will sometimes be indicated by a
Kissing wheeling sound. and this be
Wrongfully attributed to the carDuretor.
which is, in most cases silent. The
practice of increasing the richness of the
mixture at low speeds until all the cylin-
ders fire is bad. for it wastes much gaso-
line, and also causes smoking and car
bon deposit. Also, il makes the cylinders
pull unevenly. Each cylinder should pro-
duce the same amount of power and the
manifold. valves, spark plugs and igni-
ton timing should be gone over until all
are exactly right.
1t not infrequently happens that
false alarm of puncture is raised through
a tire suddenly letting down. 1t is well,
.nereiore. always to make sure that it is
caused by puncture before commencing
TO detach the cover: very frequently it
will be only the valve at fault. This is
particularly the case when a tire has
gore down gradually. and not with the
sudden hiss that betokens the incursion
OF some ntruding obstacle. It is de-
cIdedly aggravating. after you have taken
the trouble to open tire in search for
II supposed puncture to find that both
cover and tube are sound. and that the
defiaton caused by valve failure.
Whenever it is necessary to replace d
burst punctured air tube on the road
ii is advisable before putting in the new
tube to examine the nut which holds
the valve to the air tube Very often
this nut shakes loose through continual
vibration of the car. furthermore there
is likely to be slight contraction of the
rubber between the nut and the valve
seat. so that when it is required for
use there is mysterious leakage which
cannot be traced to a punctu-e. Before
putting the tube in it is advisable to try
this nut with a wrench and screw it
down as tight as possible. A thin bicycle
wrench will be found most suitable for
the purpose. and it should be. if possible
one of the heXagon hole variety. and not
jaw wrench. The turned-up edges of
the valve plate necessitate the use OF
wrench with very thin sides. The
best form OF wrench is one made out
of piece of steel bicycle tubing.
