HOW TO DO AWAY WITH IT
Many Causes Are Apt to Give Rise

But All Can Be Dealt
With by the Man
Who Knows.

A smoking exhaust is not always

of oil, particularly with the engine.
that relies wholly upon the splash or
all loss system of fabrication. Even
some other systems give trouble
which is indicated by the first and sec.
ond cylinders being overlubricated, a.
condition generally learned from
fouled spark plugs. AS a rule trouble
is not experienced with the rear cylin-
ders.
Usually the expert advocates the fit
ting of new and patent piston rings
and new pistons, but these sometimes
fail to cure the trouble One of the
most common causes of overlubrica-
ton of the first and second cylinders
of the motor fabricated by the splash
system is illustrated in the accom-
panying drawing. The line G indi-
Gates the level in the crankcase while
that from A to B shows what should
be the proper level.
The condition illustrated by the
level G exists with large number of.
motors, and is usually caused by the
front springs settling, which results I'm

lower than the rear. Under such con-
ditions the connecting rods of the first

WILL UNCLE SAM OWN CARS?
Decision Rests Upon Result of PostaI
Department Investigation in
st. Louis.

On the report of Post Office depart
ment officials regarding an investiga
ton in ST. Louis largely will rest the
decision of the postmaster general as
to whether there will be a mail col
lection service with government
owned vehicles il ST. Louis and other
large cities.
Many bidders for contracts have
been wondering at the delay of the
post office department in awarding
contracts for which bids had been
received some time ago, notably in
the cases of st. Louis, Chicago, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati and other big cities
in the middle West section, for screen
wagon service and other features OF
the collection and delivery of mails,
The chief reason for the delay is the
desire of Postmaster General Burle-
son for a service with government
owned vehicles in ST. Louis and Chi
cago, in the belief that if the scheme
can be worked successfully in those
cities it can be adopted anywhere
else. He has a concrete example be-
fore him in a report made by Otto
Praeger, postmaster of Washington,
who, with Chief Inspector Coombsz
was in st. Louis looking into the stu
alton. This report deals with the first
vehicles made in this country by Post
master Praeger in Washington, under
authority of congress.

by the level G. A drop Of One-quarter
or One-half inch of the front end OF
the crankcase is not readily discerni-
BILE to the eye, but will make consid-
cradle difference to the level OF the
lubricant.
The writer has located number OF
lubrication troubles by measuring the
height of the oil in the crankcase or
the motor, and eliminated the fault by
leveling up .he cra.pkcase. 1t is a SIM
pie matter to block up the springs or
motor supports, it depending upon the
method of engine suspension.
The height of the oil in the crank
case can be ascertained by removing
the old oil, cleansing the case, then
using a cOlored fluid which when with
drawn, will so mark the walls that the
level may be easily ascertained. In
making measurements the tires
should be fully inflated and at least
one person occupy the front seat.
