WHEN AUTO ''BALKS'
Frequently Fault Of Driver, Who
Has Not Seen Signs of the
Coming Trouble.
PROMPT ACTION NECESSARY
Here Is a Brief Description Of Com
mon Warnings and Methods OF
Putting Things Right Before
Breakdown Is an Accom-

When your automobile comes TO q
sudden stop or otherwise misbehaves
itself it Is certainly eXasperatng TO
have your companion ask WHATS the
matter?" And 1t is twice as eXasper-
ating not to be able to know the
trouble. There are many ways, how
ever, to easily detect motor troubles
Some of these are as follows:
II there is loss of power and hiss
ing caused by escaping gas, there Is
trouble with the spark plug. Either
a leakage in the threads or bad insula-
ton or packing. Ordinarily the remedy
is simply to replace the insulation and
screw it down tighter
II there is a loss OF compression
there is trouble with the wrist pin. IL
is either loose or scores the cylinder.
Fasten it securely and replace the cyl

If YOU hear a short metallic knock
look first to your cylinder casting.
The chances are the retaining bolts
are loose and the piston strikes at the
upper end Tighten up the bolts and
round the edges of the piston top,
When there is a combination of me-
tallic knocks and squeaking the main
bearings are probably both loose and
in need Of fabrication. The remedy

II there is overheating because OF
friction the trouble is with the piston
rings, carbon in groove, insufficient
opening or binding on cylinder. Re-
move these deposits, file the slot and
as coon as possible grind or lap to tit

A sharp pounding means trouble
with the engine base. 1t sounds as
though your car was coming to
pieces, but the only trouble is that
your engine Is loose on the frame, and
the remedy is exceedingly simple

If there is skipping or irregular OPP

Good Vulcanizinp Job.

There are two necessities for max
ing good job of vulcanizing; the first
is cleanliness and the second a good
grade Of raw rubber. AS In soldering
work with metal, no good results can
be hoped for unless every vestige Of
grease or dirt is removed from the
surface, The proper material for
cleansing the rubber is caroline, which
cuts the dirt and even penetrates the
pores Of the rubber. Outs in castings
can be healed permanently and well
with the vulcanizing process, Water
enters the smallest cuts and reaches
the fabric and starts rapid rottlng

BEST SPRING REPAIR CLIP
That He Is Ready for Any
Emergency.

One Of the most important things
necessary to carry Is some form OF
spring repair device for emergency
use. Some years ago such articles
were usually hand made and cumbe
some and really not designed to do
the work they were intended to do.
OF late, however, a number of such
things have been brought out and
placed on the market One in par
ticuar consists of a well-worked-o
Idea, and Is shaped so 1t may be used
on any form of spring and in any place
where breakage occurs. 1t consists
of a main bar of forged steel, which
is placed over the break in the spring,
as shown In the illustration, and is
held in place by two ordinary spring
clips. With such device the motor
list would have little trouble in driy-

one way to get greater service out
Of given amount Of gasoline Is to
arrange to mix watery yapor with the
mixture as II goes into the firing
chambers. II has often been noticed
that in foggy weather and when the
air Is moist with dew at night. greater
energy is developed in the engine.
This Is due to the fact that the neat
OF the explosion will incidentally con
vert into superheated steam n rela-
lively small amount of water. This
makes greater power, reduces exces-
sivo heat and uses less gasoline. II
may be secured by placing small
reservoir for water beneath the hood
and arranging needle valve to be
operated from the seat that will allow
water 10 drop into the hot air supply
pipe that goes to the carburetor.

about three times the life of a single
series on the same current, on ac
count Of the reduced rate of dis
charge Three series connected IN
this manner will give about six times
the life on the same current as would
one series
Another advantage of this method
of connection is that a dead cell will
not weaken the current from the
group enough to interfere with the
engine operation. For ordinary serv-
ice, we recommend five groups OF
three cells each, while for heavy con-
slant service we recommend flve
groups of five cells each.

ELECTRICAL COOKER IS NEW
Device la Cylindrical In Form WIN
Several Compartments Arranged
Ono Above the other.

CBy FRED @ PERSON, Colorado Asri-
cultural College)
A new electrical cooker Is now
upon the market. This cooker If cyl
indrical in form, with several cooking
compartments arranged one above the
other. In the lower part Of the cooker
is a flexible pressure plate above
basin of water. The current being
turned on vaporizes the water as the
heat increases until certain pressure
is reached, this automatically opens
the circuit, thus shutting off the cur
rent. Since the walls of the cooker
are made OF non-conducting materlai
the cooking continues under the nre-
less principle. When the cooling has
reached a certain point condensation
has reduced the pressure and the cur
rent is In use only part of the time;
this gives an economical use OF cleo
