part of any one nation unnecessary.
Here our hopes and expectations are
somewhat at variance. Certainly as
matters now stand n lesson we
should gain from late developments is
that wholly inadequate preparation for
on our part may mean the height
of folly and of danger.
Another lesson which we are i'm
pressed should come home to every
power from the present and from
former wars is this: no nation, how
ever large and powerful, can afford
for one moment to be unjust to an
other nation however weak and small.

My car used TO make about eighteen
miles per gallon Of gasoline. This year
it is not making over eight. II misses
until speed gets up to ten or twelve
miles per hour. When the engine be
comes heated the spark lever works
very badly. What is the cause of this?
Since your car misses only at speeds
below twelve miles per hour and then
only when warmed up, 1t seems likely
that the heat causes a slight leakage
either by warping a valve or by eX-
panding a valve stem. Test the com
preston when the motor Is warm, and
II any cylinder is weak see whether
It Is not due to lack Of clearance be-
tween valves and push rods or to a
warped valve. These defects would
cause enough leakage to make the mo-
tor miss fire when the throttle is ear
ly closed, but yet not enough to make
it miss at wider throttle openings.
Faulty c~arburetion may also be the
cause Of the misfiring. Reduce the
slowly and see If this makes any diff
ference. 1t is possible that the reduc-
ton In charge weight caused by the
heating Of the air Is sufficient to de-
tease the ratio Of air to gasoline
enough to prevent combustion, al
though when tho motor Is cold enough
air is taken in so that the motor will
rul all right.
Another possibility IS that there Is a
leak In the intake manifold due to its
warping out Of shape when heated.
Tighten up bolts holding the manifold,
and If necessary put I'm new gaskets.
See that the brakes are not dragging
and that the spark advance has not
slipped SO :hGt you are running with

Is II easier to pump up a tire with the
wheel lacked up when the weight of the
car is resting on the wheel7
Theoretically 1t is slightly easier to
pump up a tire when the weight is re-
moved, but the difference is so small
that it is doubtful whether any or
binary gauge would measure 1t. The
extra work required represents the
amount of work to lift the weight on
that wheel through the distance that
the inflated tire lifts the rim off the
ground, this distance being approx
mately three inches. But this Is divid-
ed up among so many pump strokes
that the extra work Is not felt, and 1t
Is probably just as economical Of ener-
gy to do 1t this way as to jack the
wheel up.

Why are so many manufacturers do
ing away with radius rods7
The principal reason for discarding
the radius rods Is simplicity. 1t Is OBJ
vious that when the drive is taken di-
rectly by the springs the manufac-
turer has saved on the cost Of pro-
duction and also reduced the number
Of wearing parts. Many manufactur-
ers believe that the drive can be just
as successfully transmitted through the
springs as through radius rods, but as
both constructions are widely used 1t
Is difficult TO say which Is better.

Is it economical to use oversize tires7
Many tire makers advocate the use
of oversize tires for the following rea-
sons:
Take, for instance, a SO by 4 tire
which fits IN a 81 by 3h rim. In adj
dition to having considerably more air
capacity or cubical contents, there is
naturally a little more tread. and the
oversize tire is, generally speaking, OF
a heavier construction. The greater
air capacity naturally makes more of
q cushion, thus making the tire easier
riding for the occupants, and. due to
the advantages mentioned, caused by
the fact that the tire Is of heavier
construction and has u greater air ca
pacity. it will throw off strains which
a tire of similar diameter and circum-
ference would not throw of.
In addition to the above, the cir
conference of the oversize tire In this
instance is slightly over three inches
more than the 80 by 31a. which we
are using for illustration. This addi-
tional running surface means. OF
course, that the tire will revolve fewer
times In making a mile than the 30 by
3Ha which. everything being equal,
should insure greater mileage than the
smaller size tire.

six cylinder over four cylinder motors?
The advantage of greatest Importance
Is that the six has a more even torque,
OF turning effort, than the four, because
there are three explosions to each rev.
olution against two per revolution In
the four. The average six will throt.
tie lower than a four Of the same size.
Kindly inform mo how to determine
when tho front wheels arc out Of align
ment, and how can ! st%raishten them7
The alignment Of the front wheels
can easily be determined by measure
ment. With the wheels pointing ap-
proximately straight, measure the dis
lance between the two wheels, at the
front and rear. They should be one
quarter inch nearer Mt the 'front.', but
not any more. The adjustment is made
by shortening or lengthening the tie
rod.
Please tell me how to place old shoes
over now, and 10 Il q practical thing
to dor
To use the old tires do not cut the
bead OF. You have TO take the casing
of the wheel and force 1t into the old
casing and then apply both to the
wheel at nee Many claim this gives
a practically puncture proof tire and
one that lasts longer than the single
shoe. 1t Is desirable to have good In
ner tubes on account of its being too
much trouble in changing In case an
old tube gives way. So far as heat
and sand are concerned. many claim
they do not seem to amount to any
thing, though others declare they rs.-
der the idea impractical. The old cas.
ing Is supposed to fit so tightly over
the good one that there Is no slippage.
and 1t protects the good tire from road
heat. Some drivers, however. cut Sits
In old castings around the whole tread
from bead to bead. They say 1t makes
them easier to apply as well as to al
low ventilation. These Sits are cut
about every four inches and about one
half inch Of the material taken out.
Authorities disagree on the practical
bility Of the scheme Of using old shoes
In this way. but individual cases seem
to have been satisfactory or tho re-
verse according to the conditions and
the intelligence used In applying the

What are the advantages and disad-
vantages of tho disk friction chain
drive compared with other types of
transmission now more commonly
used?
The advantages of the friction trans
mission are that 1t offers ar intini'e
number of gear ratios. is silent. cheap
to manufacture and simple. The dis
advantages are that the friction disk
must be renewed every few thousand
miles-this is a small matter, but
worth noting-and that the amount Of
horsepower that 1t will transmit under
the conditions found in automobile de-
sign Is limited. Therefore 1t has never
been used to any extent on large cars,
but has found favor on some cars Of
medium size and ON more small cars.

As soon az | go into third or high
gear my car runs in a jerky manner.
If | go back into second speed and push
on the accelerator to give the engine
more speed for about half a square and
then GO back into third or high II runs
smoothly. What is the matter?
1t seems most probable that the mo-
tor is missing, or at least does not run
smoothly at low speeds. Adjust the
spark gaps on the plugs to n thirty
second of an inch, tighten all wiring
connections and look for short circuits
caused by poorly insulated or bare
wires.
See that the brushes on the magnetic
are in good condition and adjust the
breaker points If they need It, There
may be a temporary short circuit In the
switch at times. Adjust the carburetor
carefully. The air valve Is for high
speed and the needle valve for low.
Test the compression. It may be that
the valves need grinding. or there is a
leakage past the pistons or the valve
stem guides.

What is the best way to keep tires
from sticking to the rims7
In order to keep the tires from stick.
ing to the rims 1t Is necessary to pre-
vent the rusting OF the rim, and this is
most satisfactorily accomplished by the
use of fake graphite. The graphite Is
a small percentage Of gasoline. This
is then applied to the rims the same as
ordinary paint. The gasoline eyapo-
rates and leaves the graphite, which
not only prevents rusting to a large
extent, but holds the bead OF the tire
away from the metal Of the rim.

day in. the action he has brought by
his next friend, Frank VanSyckle,
against Van s. Roosa and other off,
cials of Roselle for alleged false
arrest and Imprisonment. He is
employed as a chauffeur for the
Frank VanSyckle Garage Company,
of Perth Amboy. On September 26
he was arrested at Roselle after a
machine he was driving had collided
with some people. He was locked up,
he charges, and despite all efforts
on the part of Mr.. VanSyckle and
his counsel, Joseph e. Stricken, he
was held behind jail bars until 4
O'Clock the next morning. The youth
told about the accident and his ar
rest following 1t, when he went on
the stand this morning.
Frank VanSyckle testified relative

and second floors of the two-story
frame building at 3S4 Barracks
street about o'clock yesterday
morning, a fire originating from a
stove In the parlor on the second
floor ate its way through the second
floor to the apartments below. The
cry of the infant of Mrs. Benjamin
Fagan in a room adjoining that
ablaze, saved the sleepers. Mrs.
Fagan was aroused and awoke the
others.
Alarm was given from box SO, at

PROPOSITION ON
CITY LIGHTING
IS HEARD TODAY
Aldermen Say Proposition
Made Friday Night to Save
City Money is Worthless at
the Present Time.

A proposition to save money on
lighting the city is due to be dis
cussed at a conference of members
of the Board of Aldermen and Off
eials of the Public Service Electric
Company at A o'clock this afternoon
III city hall. Aldermen who, Satur-
day believed that the Public Service
corporation had made an excellent
proposition to the city, were ready to
admit today that they believed 1t was
worthless under present conditions.
Alderman John w. Kelly, who heads
the lamps and lights committee of
the council, stated just prior to the
conference this afternoon that he be-
lieved the proposition put up by the
Public Service to change lamps and
save the city about $4,000 year
was only available upon condition
that the city signed up under five
year contract. 1t is generally be-
lieved that none of the aldermen
are ready to do this. but If the prop
osition turns out to be as good as
1t was purported to be Saturday, the
city officials may sign up for sin
gle year today, some of them declare
as 1t is concluded that it will take at
least a year to erect the proposed
municipal plant.
SO far as members of the lighting
committee can determine, the only
saving for the city lies in the max
ing of long term contracts with the
Public Service and allowing ii to
substitute nitrogen tungsten lamps
for the ordinary ares now in use. II
would cost the electric company
about $4,000 to make such Q
change in the city and 1t is believed
that would not negotiate it unless
a five year contract was given, The
city can save one half per cent q
year, hence a saving of two and O
half per cent under a five year term
! If contracts are made. Mem bers OF
the lighting committee stated that il
would be better to contribute without
a contract under ptection ol

hand for about three months, but he
did not broach it, pending the max
ing of other arrangements, where
