Should the valve spring be a stiff one
under small compression or a nimble
spring under heavy compression to give
best results2
The stiffness of the spring will be
found only by experiment As the pis-
ton descendS it creates a vacuum in the
cylinder thus allowing the pressure OF
the atmosphere to open the valve. If
the piston suction is poor, then the
difference in pressure between the bot
tom and the top of the valve will not
be so great. and hence the valve VIII
have a tendency to remain shut How
ever. if a piston has good suction the
valve will open without difficulty. You
will have to try your particular mo-
tor and valves in order to get the best
results.

My car will not hold compression
very WE'LL | put in two new rings, and
| think they do not fit we'll enough as
yet, as the car has only been run about
thirty miles since. The compression
was fairly good with the old rings, but
| thought ! could improve it with new
ones. Is there any way to make them
fit more tightly by using grinding COM
pound?
In order to get the new rings to fit
we'll at once they should be Tapped in
by means of a grinding compound.
The cylinder is put on bench and
the piston worked out and in with a
sort of irregular turning movement
similar to that given in grinding a
valve This work can be done by an
amateur, but should not be attempted
without first having observed carefully
how it is done, because it is easy to
spoil the piston and cylinder by un-
equal abrasion. The probabilities are
that the new ring will wear in and the
compression will be tighter after you
have run another two or three hun
dred miles, and altogether it would
probably be better for you to wait and
see that this does not happen unless
you can get the services Of an expert
in tapping in the ring.

How can | put motometer on a car
with hard rubber filler cap?
In order to drill through the hard
rubber filler cap the cap must first be
softened slightly This is done by plac-
ing it in boiling water and permitting
it to remain there for about three to
eight minutes. After being removed
from the water it can be drilled with
out fear of cracking.

When the spark on my car is retard-
ed it misses considerably. Is this a
sign that the magnetic is weak?
No. Retard and advance simply re
fer to time Of spark occurrence. The
spark is just as strong on retard as it
is on advance. When the spark is re-
tarded it means that it occurs when
the piston is going downward. and
when it is advanced it occurs when
the piston has not yet reached dead
center.

My motor will not throttle down be-
low fifteen or twenty miles per hour,
which is very annoying, as ! cannot
stop with the motor running without it
sounding as though it was coming out
of the car. | recently had the magnetic
changed, but still have to run on bat
teries, the magpeto firing very irregu-
IarIy. How can remedy this?
The probable cause Of this trouble is
that you are not securing a rich enough
mixture ut low speeds. If you will
change the needle valve adjustment on
the carburetor which will provide Il
rich mixture, and then if necessary
cut down on the air supply the motor
should run at low speed. Another pos.
Sihle cause of this trouble is that the
spark plug points are so far apart that
you do not get Il good spark until the
motor has specdcd up TO such Il degree
that Il high current is generated. Pos
Sibly another solution to the problem
would he that you have an air leak
somewhere in the intake line, which
permits too lean mixture ut low

What are the ADVANTAGES and disad.
vantaaes of transmission in the rear
axle?
Engineers in favor of the rear axle
construction state that this type is
more quiet than the others; that the
rear axle gearset unit, being heavier
than the usual rear axle form, better
traction is gained by the tires, which
means less skidding. Further discus
sion brings out that the rear axle gear
set requires number of long control
rods, which the unit with motor and
amidships construction. does not call
for. A longer drive shaft is possible
when the gearset is a unit with the
rear axle, which means that there is
less strain on the universals, in the
opinion of a number Of engineers. Ac-
cording to another, only one grease re-
tanning reservoir is necessary, and this
statement is supplemented by another
engineer to the effect that the grease
contained in the case is not thinned by
the heat of the motor or the mutfler
pipe. With the rear axle type the
clutch is usually accessible. One en-
gineer, upholding this type, claims that
in a certain make the gears of the
gearset may be removed in a very

What is the formula fer connecting

There is no formula for connecting

bitrarily. As a rule, the connecting
rod is made about twice as long as the
stroke This particular figure has been
chosen, because when a connecting rod
is made longer than this the overall
height of the motor becomes too great,
adding weight and increasing the cost
of manufacture. Increase in connect.

On a level road or slight ascent my
car runs WE'LL but on sleeper grades it
misses, chokes and back fires. | had
new rings put in and the compression
seems good. What is the cause?
From the information given it would
appear that the gasoline line between
the carburetor and the tank is slightly
clogged The gasoline flows through
rapidly enough to feed the car under
conditions obtained on the level road
or on a slight ascent, but on sleeper
grades the feed is not fast enough to
do the work. If you remove the pipe
connecting the tank and carburetor and
clean thoroughly it will probably end
the trouble.

How often should the front axle be
eressed7
You evidently refer to the front
wheel bearings. These should be pack
ed with grease every 1000 miles and
the steering knuckle and the tie rod
connections oiled every week.

Where would you consider the proper
MACE for a Gasoline tank?

Where would you consider the proper
place for a gasoline tank?
This depends on conditions. There
are advantages in every location. If
placed under the cowl the gasoline can
flow by gravity to the carburctor yet
the carburetor does not need to I've
placed as low as when the tank is un
der the seat By locating the carbu
rotor higher, it is more accessible and
the intake pipe is shortened, giving bel
ter carburetion. The gasoline is warm
ed by the heat of the motor so tha
in cold weather, at least, Carburetiun
is facilitated.
The under seat location of the tank
also allows fuel feed by the simple
gravity method, but there is danger Of
the flow stopping when climbing a
steep hill. When the tank Is being
filed the passengers in the front must
be disturbed.
Putting the tank at the rear utilizes
otherwise waste space and allows the
space under the front seat and under
the cowl to be used for other purposes.
There is slight objection to this loca-
tion, however because the gasoline
must be fed to the carburetor either by
pressure or the vacuum system. This
means a slight amount of complication,
but it is not serious, as is indicated by
the fact that the majority of cars now
in use one or the other of these sys-
tens.
A very large percentage of the cars
put on the market in the past year or
two use the vacuum system of fuel
feed in which the main gasoline tank
is located at the rear of the car, while
a small auxiliary tank is placed on the
dash, usually inside the hood, to give
gravity feed to the carburetor.

Jackson City Manager Announces In
s1allatiOn of Recreation Field.

JACKSON, Mich, June 15.-Among
the many improvements TO be made
under the direction OF Jackson's city
manager and the new commission, is
the preparation Of a large farm prop
erty just outside the city for recrea-
ton purposes.
The land is part of an estate, valued
at 100000, bequeathed the city by
the late Ella w. Sharp. The pro
posed park property was formerly a
farm OF several hundred acres. The
matter of arranging the property for
a park has been left to a special COM
mission OF Jackson business men.
Another improvement, which. il is
hoped Will have a tendency TO build
up the side streets in the downtown
district. is proposed new street
lighting system. The boulevard sys-
tenn of lighting has been selected.
With the new lighting system il is
believed that many merchants will
find the side streets more desirable.

town district is forcing many mer-
charts 10 make new plans.
