\. B.
A. The knocking YOU complain Of is due,
no doubt, to pre- ignition caused by the car
hon, accumulated by the burning Of lubri-
eating oil in the combustion chamber. This
excess oil gets up past the piston head be-
cause your piston rings are defective. Look
at them, and il OF the old-style one piece
type you will find that the rings have ex-
cessive openings, due to wear, providing
for the escape of compression and the work
ing OF oil into the combustion chamber, or
their bearing is so unequal that passage is
permitted between them and the cylinder
wall.
In this type of ring such conditions are
practically unacceptable. TO completely
obviate them we would recommend the
employment of LxAs.SSeo- Piston Ring.
These rings are really leak proof both as to
gas and oil. They have no unsealed open
ines in the first place, being made of two
concentric. interloCking sections, tightly
fitted together. These sections have oppo-
site points of expansion and give the ring
equal tension on the entire circumference OF
the cylinder. They possess enduring elas-
ITCHY and great strength.
You can get them any size at all garages
and repair shopS-they are easily adjustable.

Austrian CENSORSHIP,

The Austrian censor used to play
strange tricks with the plays produced
under his auspices. When Schiller's
"Maid of Orleans" was produced at
Vienna. in 1902. the title was deemed
too hippant and was replaced by that
of Joan of Arc" Agnes Sorel figured
as the wife of Charles VII. and Queen
Ysabeau was transformed into that
monarchs sister in order to save him
from bigamy. Until 1S42 mesaIliances
were prohibited on the Vienna stage.
When the burgtheater wished to stage
one of Freytag's plays in which Count
Waldemar marries gardeners daugh-
ter, the censor put his foot down.
"These incidents" he said. "may un-
fortunately occur in real life. but they
must not be seen on the stage"

of chess. When Steinitz was a young
man he used to play frequently at the
Vienna Chess club and on one occasion
engaged the famous banker. The game
became very complicated, and Steinitz
studied the board longer than usual.
His opponent grew impatient and at
