My motor cranks we'll, but after start
ing it will not pick up by opening the
throttle. It has no power and soon dies.
After crankin9 again the motor starts,
but the results are the same. What is
the trouble?
Probably poor carburetor adjustment,
Il sticking float or dirt in the system

One of the cylinders of my car leaks
and carbons in a short time. Can you
suggest a remedy for this?
The carbon deposit is the result Of
burning oil. and the remedy lies in
preventing too much oil from getting
above the piston top. Poorly fitting
piston rings will cause this, and a loose
piston or Il worn cylinder will give the
same result. The crank case level
should not be kept too high.

| have had trouble with my starter.
II does not seem powerful enough to
turn the engine over. The batteries
have been tested and everything looked
over, but nothing can be found to cause
it. Can you suggest something2
If the battery is in good condition
the trouble IS clearly between the bat
terry and starting motor or In the start
ing motor itself The battery gravity
should be tested, for vOtmeter some
times is Inaccurate. The gravity Of
the average make is one and twenty
eight hundredthS when fully charged.
Look over the switch and all wiring
between battery and motor and see
that there are no insulation breaks. If
the battery is in good condition and
the wiring found to be in fair shape
then blame the cTlnking motor, but
under no circumstances should you at
tempt to diSmantle it to look for the
trouble. Let the maker do the work.
How can cam shaft be timed with
the crank shaft when there are no
marks on the timing gears7
The f1ywheel should he turned around
until the piston in No. l cylinder is on
top dead center and the magnetic dis
tributer arm on No. l segment This
is the condition of things when the cyl
Under is about to fire. The cam shaft
should then be slipped in position 50
that both intake and exhaust valves of
No l cylinder are fully closed
In ordinary practice at advance spark,
how far from the top dead center
should the spark occur, in inches?
The advanced spark may occur any
where from one-half to one inch before
top dead center. In many racing cars
the magnetic is set so as to produce a
spark more than one inch before cen
ter.
Will any kind of tough wood answer
for separators in storage batteres7 Is
this wood treated?
Poplar, Eastwood and cypress are
commonly used for this purpose. The
treatment process is secret with all
battery makers. Caustic potash solu-
ton is sometimes used for the work.

Do oil boxes fer springs save the life
of the spring, and do they make the car
ride easier?
The main object Of oil boxes is to
eliminate squcaking and rusting. The
life of the spring is increased by their
use, inasmuCh as ruSting and excessive
wear are prevented by the presence
of the lubricant. and riding may also
be improved, due to the fact that fric

Is the air which is pumped through
a spark plug, which is supposed to
pump fresh air, more injurious to the
rubber of the inner tubes than the air
which is pumped into them with hand
pump?
If the motor driven pump is a good
one and no oil or mixture is forced
into the tire the results will not be
harmful, but if the pump does force
gas and oil into the tubes the tubes
will become injured Practically all the
tire pumps now on the market are so
designed that only pure air is pumped
into the tires and no gasoline vapor or
oil is allowed to work its way in.
In my car more carbon forms around
the piston head and valves in running
it 200 or 300 miles than should form in
running $500 miles. The carbon has
to be removed! every 300 miles. Can
you tell me what will prevent this?
There are only two sources from
which carbon may be deposited in an
engine. These are the gasoline and
oil Both oil and gasoline may be Of
the best quality. e., with low car
bon content-and still the motor may
carbOnize rapidly. In the first place.
the feeding of too much oil will cause
such a deposit. The excess oil burns
and leaves behind some carbon. The
same holds true if the mixture is too
rich. There will be an explosion. but
a portion Of the mixture will burn and
its carbon be left in the engine. 1t is
suggested that you cut down the oil
level slightly and have the carburetor
adjustment checked up. 1t is possible
that the piston rings are worn consid,
erably, allowing the oil to get into the
combustion chamber. causing smoking
at the exhaust and carbon to he de.

War Dogs for Carpathians.

IT HE dogs Of war appear In another
role When the history of this
war shall have been written at least a
chapter viii be devoted to the bravery
and the loyalty as well as the efficiency y
of the dog. In the early part of the
conflict newspaper readers were famil.
lar with pictures of the Belgian dogs
the dogs of Flanders-bitched to ma :
chine guns and other pieces of light
ordnance. They carried their guns to
the firing line. lay beside them while
the guns were in action and hauled
them off under fire when the need for
withdrawal or change of position arose
In all the armies the dog has been
used in the ambulance service for seek
ing out disabled men who perhaps
man-search of the battle-ground The
testimony of all authorities on this
matter is that the dogs do their duty
well, and no one knows, and no one
will ever know, the number of human
lives that have been thus saved by the
faithful, well trained and intelligent
animals.
Reports have come of the use of dogs
in the German and French armies for
sentry duty. Their wakefulness and
watchfulness. their keen hearing and
keener sense of smell have been de-
pended on to give the alarm and pre-
vent surprise by the enemy. In this
duty all reports have it that the dogs
have not been found wanting.
Lately the news has come from the
eastern theater of war that both Rus
slams and Austrians have been using
Eskimo dogs from Greenland in haul
ing sledge loads of provisions and am
munition through the snow-covered
passes and up and down the snow-clad
slopes of the Carpathian mountains. In
this way the dogs are said to have
been very valuable auXiliaries in the
armies to which they have been at
tached.
In the cities of France. Germany anc
Great Britain the dog has become a
regular assistant in police work, and
in the cities of the United States II.
seems to be taking up this work. In
Belgium and Holland he labors in
peaceful pursuits. drawing milk carts
vegetable carts and other small We
hicles.
This war has proved that there really
are such things as dogs of war.

Germany which led state socialism in

Port ArthuIa Downfall.

One Of the most dramatic surrenders
in military history was that of Port
Arthur during the Russo-J japanese war.
For five months the Russians, under
General Stoessel, defended the city into
which they had been forced by the
fierce onslaughts of the japanese. 1t
was expected that the czar's troops,
25,000 strong and well provisioned.
would safely hold Port Arthur until
relief came. After twenty weeks of
siege, however, Stoessel raised the
white flag and the japanese marched
into the city. ;eneral Stoessel was
tried for treason In connection with the
surrender. and he was sentenced to
death, for II was stated that the Rus
sians had sufficient food and ammuni-
ton in Port Arthur to have continued
their defense for some time. The car
committed the sentence on Stoessel to
one Of ten years Imprisonment, but
the disgrace broke his health and he
died, paralyzed and dumb.
