have trouble with my car losing
power and speed. On grades that
should be made on high have to go
in second. At times when going up
grades on second the car checks up as
If the brakes had been applied. Then
again it will gain speed; then slow up
as before. What is the cause7
The peculiar action of your car Is
due to temporary disarrangement of
some part Of the ignition or carbure-
ton systems. If the former is at fault
the trouble must be caused either by a
short circuit or loose connection. In
spect the wiring thoroughly for defec-
tive insulation at which points the
bare wires may be grounded on the
metal parts of the car. thus DETECTING
the current from its regular path. Go
over all connections and tighten up
any that are loose. After doing this
the motor should run all right If the
trouble is with the ignition. If the
carburetion system Is causing your
motor to run irregularly you must be
getting an improper mixture at times.
If the mixture is too rich black smoke
will be seen at the exhaust. and If
this is the case the trouble is proba-
bly, caused by dirt under the float
valve. or there is small possibility
that it is due to sticking of the aux
Hilary air valve. This valve may re-
main closed temporarily so that too
rich mixture is delivered to the mo-
tor for time. On the other hand, If
the mixture is too lean, trouble may
be the result of any Of the following
causes: The auxiliary air valve may
stick open, thus allowing too much air
to be delivered to the motor; the float
may stick so that an insufficient sup
ply of gasoline is the result Too
small quantity of gasoline might also
be the result of dirt In the spray noz-
zle or possibly in the feed pipe from
the gasoline tank.
Will you please tell me how to pre-
vent the throwing Of oil from my valve
tappet guides?
The leakage of oil out of valve tap
pet guides is due to the wearing away
Of the guides, so that there is more or
less space between 1t and the tappet
When this condition exists the motion
Of the tappet carries the oil up from
the crank case and allows Il to dow

My motor stops when throttle ID
placed in certain notch on quadrant
When running slow around corners OF
over crossings and on speeding up
when the throttle reaches a certain
notch on the steering gear quadrant,
the motor either stops or jerks about
six or ten yards. What is the cause
of this?
Probably with the throttle in a GER
tain position some part of the throttle
mechanism short circuits the ignition
current. With the car running move
the throttle lever until the motor starts
to miss or stop; then stop the car and
look for the trouble. 1t is also posi-
BILE that the movement of the throttle
interferes with the operation of the
carburetor. See that the air valve is
not affected. If the throttle and the
auxiliary air valve are connected up.
or if the throttle in any way controls
the flow of gasoline from the jet or
jets, this mechanism should be care
fully inspected.

Expert Advice For the
Automobile Owner
Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of
Importance to the Man Who Runs Car

Recently I had the carbon removed
from my cylinders, but even after tina,
when running about fifteen miles pei
hour on top gear when ! want to pick
up quickly with my spark retarded be
low halfway the motor knocks YER,
hard. What 10 the cause7
The fact that your motor knocks
when the spark is halfway advanced
when you are accelerating from Q
speed Of fifteen miles an hour on high
gear does not indicate that there is
anything wrong with your motor. Try
retarding the spark further under these
conditions and see IL the car does not
run all right. The idea to keep in mind
when using the spark lever is to set II
at the point just below that at which
the motor will knock under the partic
ular conditions that the motor is op.
Grating under at any given time.
My crank case holds three gallons
and three quarts Of oil when up to the
pet cock lever, and have a dash sight
feed which shows steady stream
when ! have the oil at the right level,
but whom ! have the amount Of oil !
speak Of the motor smokes. How can
! stop IL smoking and still know that I
have enough oil to Iubrieate the motor7
The manufacturer of this motor
should have set the oil level at the cor.
rect height. Therefore we would not
advise doing anything to change the
height of the oil In the crank case until
you have made sure that the trouble
Is not elsewhere. Smoking may be
due to loose fitting piston rings, worn
pistons or worn cylinders or all of
these combined. Poor oil might also
be causing the motor to smoke, or 1t
may be that the cooling system is not
working properly, with the result that
a large quantity of the oil is consumed
because the motor runs hot. If smok-
ing does not seem to be caused by any
of these conditions it might be well to
reduce the level of oil in the crank
case, but before taking such step
you should confer with the manufac-
turer of the car or with some good re-
pair man.

Can you tell me of solution to clean
out radiator which expes water that
is very dark brown in color when
emptying the radiator?
Dark brown water in a radiator is
due to the suspension in the water Of
particles of dirt or rust. There is no
necessity of applying solution to the
radiator that will dissolve these par
ticles because they can be very easily
removed by flushing the radiator with
large quantities of water.

A little before 6 o'clock Reginald
knocked at the door of the Graham
home. 1t was opened by Joy, who
was evidently expecting him. "We
are glad to see you, Mr.. Nelson" she
said pleasantly. Papa told US you
were coming to dinner. 1t is a long
lime since you have been at our
house."
In q few moments Mrs. Graham also
appeared and welcomed the young man
cordially.
Good evening, Mr.. Nelson" Mr..
Graham exclaimed, greeting the young
man with a warmth which surprised
both his wife and daughter.
After the dinner Reginald and Mr..
Graham retired to the library, where
the. latter outlined to the young Eng
nshman his plans for the Courier.
II fear | cannot purchase the stock
at present" said Reginald.
THAT will be an essential part Of
the DEAL" responded Mr.. Graham.
"You can see, Mr.. Nelson, that my
friend. having his money invested in
this newspaper, naturally wants an
editor who is also financially interest
ed in the enterprise"
With much reluctance Reginald
agreed to sign note for the price of
fifteen shares Of stock.
Before he left Mr.. Graham's house
It was practically decided that the
stock Of Mr.. Marchmount should be
purchased by Mr. Graham's friend and
Reginald.
"Who Is this friend of yours?" asked
Reginald abruptly just before he arose
TO leave.
He desires to remain incog for the
present" said the lawyer evasively.
II am acting as his trustee"
In few days the change of editors
was made. and the Courier appeared
with the name of Reginald Nelson as
editor. Reginald had made it plain
that he was to be allowed to conduct
the paper exactly as he deemed best,
and he emphasized the fact that the
devotion Of the Courier to reform is
sues would probably be strengthened
instead of diminished.
I'VE we'll know your stand on those
matters" Mr.. Graham had said. ''and
II we had not desired an editor who
stood for reforms we would not have
asked you to assume charge Of the

The crowd was thunderstruck. They
stared at the minister, unable to I'M
derstand his meaning. He held out the
copy of the Courier which had been in
his hand during all his speech and
shouted louder than ever: Have you

shame, l well know these vile enemies
of our country's good cannot stand the

light, and Bronson win yet be clean"
At the mention of the editors name
a mighty cheer went up from the
crowd.
The reception which was given to
Reginald Nelson's name made Mr.. Ora
ham scowl darkly as he stood on the
outskirts of the crowd This is Sc
rious," he said to himself.
The people thronged to the platform
to congratulate the speaker.

"Oh, leave Reginald alone" respond
ed Joy brusquely. George is just
dying of love for you. l thought you
were engaged once"
ooh, that was long ago when was

her head. He tried to keep me to
that engagement the other day, but
told him it was woman's privilege to
change her mind. You never changed
your mind, did you, Joy?" she contin-
ued. You and Roland have been en-
gagged for long time. When is your
wedding?"
Vivian noticed the utter lack of en-.
thusiasm shown by her friend as Joy
answered. The day has been set for
October the GOTH"
why, what's the matter?'
JOY Graham did not answer further
in regard to her wedding The subject
of her marriage to Roland Gregory
was becoming one of anxiety to Joy
Graham. She began to doubt If she
really felt toward the young manufac-
turer as wife ought to feel toward
husband. She had mentioned her
doubts one day to her father. but he
had treated her rather severely.
1T is too late now, Joy, to change
your mind. The engagement has been
announced. and have made some
business engagements with Roland on
the strength Of your marriage to him."
But people break engagements" the
daughter had urged.
"Of course they do" her father an
swered with some heat, land people
break their marriage vows. and people
break the laws of God and man. but
thought Christianity taught people to
keep pledges"
This conversation made Joy Graham
decide to abide by her former pledge
to Roland Gregory that she would be
his wife, but as time passed and his
habits became more dissipated she felt
estranged from him more and more.

Among the others who made their
way to the minister was Reginald Mel

crowd and had listened with profound
interest to the grafton of his friend.
At the mention of his newspaper and
at the cheers which the crowd gave

ports that the prospect for peach

Peaches are borne on the new wood
of last years growth. The early
half of last season was unusually
dry and this growth of new wood
and fruit buds took place to late in
the season, that the buds went into
winter qparters full of sap and not
mature. The unheard of cold spell
in December, when the thermometer
ranged from 6 to IL degrees below
zero for three nighst, and the work
as an examination Of the peach buds
clearly shows. 1t is a rare thing to
find live one and that only on the
short spurs near the trunk center
OF the tree. 1t is rather discourag-
ing, but conditions responsible are
unusual and might never happen
again and no one unwilling to take
a gamblers chance has any place
in the peach business.
Apple buds are of an older growth
