Why do they not build an engine with
three, five or any odd number of eyIin-
ders, and, If practical, how would cost
of running be compared7
Simplicity and balance are the chief
reasons for the universal use of four
cylinder engines having a number of
cylinders equaling a multiple OF 2. In
the four cycle engine there are four
events that have to be completed for
every power impulse per cylinder given
TO the crank shaft-that is, the piston
has to move downward twice and up
ward twice to complete the cycle.
Therefore the crank shaft revolves
twice to receive one impulse from a
given cylinder. With four cylinders
there is power impulse every half
revolution. or two per revolution; with
a six there are three impulses per rev.
olution; with an eight, four. If the
motor were three cylinder there
would be one and one-half impulses
per revolution of the crank shaft.
With such irregularity between the
power impulses and motor revolutions
1t is impossible to obtain a correct bal
ance, or course in the case of two
cycle motors. where there is power
Impulse from each cylinder to each
crank shaft revolution. the difficulty
above mentioned is not factor. The
fuel consumption per cylinder in mo-
TOR With an even number Of cylinders
would not be very different from one
with m even number vi cylinders.

My car 10 very hard to start. After
putting in five now dry batteries it will
start fairly we'll, but in about a week
the batteries run low, and Il is neeessa-
ry to prime several times and refill tho
radiator with hot water to start the
motor. The car runs we'll after the en- !
CINE is once started and will idle fairly
we'll. Can you tell me what causes this
trouble7
The dry batteries should be used only
for starting. You are probably in the
habit Of letting the engine run for some
time on the batteries before switching
to the magnetic. Just as soon as the
engine has started you should switch
over to the magnetic in order to con-
serve the batteries. These dry cells
soon get exhausted If they are used
for continuous or closed circuit work.
A dry battery is not intended for any
other than open circuit work-that is,
for use only at intervals. The reason
the motor will not start easily is evil
IDENTIFY because the batteries are ex-
hausted and do not give sufficient size
of spark. -

On a five passenger car designed to
carry the gasoline tank under the front
seat would there be any advantage in
hanging the tank in the rear with some
form of pressure or vacuum feed?
Please state advantages and disadvan-
tases of both systems. -.
The only advantage obtainable by
changing to either system would be to
allow the use of a shorter manifold
thus increasing the vaporizing efficien-
cy of the carbureting system and to
eliminate the trouble OF starving the
carburetor when climbing an excep-
tionally steep grade. Also there is the
factor of ease In filling the gasoline
tank and freedom from the annoyance
Of gasoline being splashed over on to
the upholstery or on the floor of the
drivers compartment. Pressure and
vacuum systems are equally efficient II
properly installed. The pressure sys-
TEN, however, has the disadvantage of
being susceptible to leakage of air pres

are very solidly installed to insure

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

What is the best way te paint the
rims of a car TO prevent rust?
Remove the rust from the rims
by scraping and sandpapering. Clean
thoroughly and then apply a coat of
ordinary shellac fixed with some
graphite. When this has dried thor.
oughly apply another coat. Some use
an aluminium paint, but we have found
the shellac to be more serviceabIe.
Does a preparation such as prepared
wax injure the finish Of car body
Does IL preserve the finish longer thar
If not used?
1t is the purpose of all preparations
of this nature, whether they be wakes
or polishes. first, to protect the surface
Of the body--the inish-from the &C.
tion of water, rain, dirt and even to
some extent the action of the suns
rays. Consequently to provide a
smooth, shiny coating all of such pol.
ishes, provided they do not contain
alkali or acids, do preserve the finish
and make finish last longer than If
they were not used. .-r
My car is equipped with "a by a tires,
Three are new, and one is about worn
out. Would il injure the car either in
appearance or otherwise to replace the
old tire with SO by ne inch and then
as the "a by 4 inch tires wear out re-
place them with the oversize tires?
You cannot use 36 by Az tires to re-
place 81 by A tires without getting new
wheels or at least new rims The
proper oversize for "a by tires is 81
by AZ These can be used Oh "a by 4
rims without changing the rims. 1t is
better to replace first both rear tires
and carry the old "a by As as spares
for the front. When these are gone
you can put the oversize tires on the
front also. To use only one oversize
will make the car steer badly II on the
front and too much differential action
If on the rear.

Ny car ran nicely for 5000 miles, then
began to miss occasionally, gradually
getting worse. The ignition is all right;
tho exhaust valves have been ground in
and the cylinders cleaned. Power on
the third and fourth cylinders is weak
and waning, but the power is good on
the first and second cylinders. The en-
CINE misses at all speeds. The magnetic
is in good condition. What is the mat
teri
Since You have weak compression on
the third and fourth cylinders you
could not expect good results from
your motor. While the valves may
have been ground only recently. this
does not necessarily mean that they
do not need reseating again. Very of.
ten a small particle of carbon will
lodge under the seat of the exhaust
valve and cause trouble even though
the cylinders have just been cleaned;
also the piston, rings may be lined up
in such a way that the openings are
all in line and accordingly lose COM
preston here. 1t is also possible that
the spark plugs in these cylinders are
not in good repair. Possibly the in
sulators are cracked and permit short
circuits.

HEAT AND COLD

There is a very common idea that
one of the secrets of maintaining
good health lies in the avoidance of
variations of temperature. It seems
likely that this is altogether fallacy.
For one thing. it is an experiment
which is impossible of absolute verifi-
cation or disproof. What would hap
pen to human being literally and
continuously kept at uniform tenn
perature day and night, winter and
summer. it is impossible to say with
certainty But this we may say, that
people who have, so far as possible,
avoided variations of temperature are
generally least able to resist the ef-
fects of those changes of temperature
which are absolutely unavoidable In
normal human life when they actually
arrive. The oyer-coddled and PAM
pered child is notorfously the first to
catch cold. just as the plant which
has been kept for months in the uni
form temperature Of a room or green
house is the first to succumb when
placed In the open air As a matter
OF fact the body is provided with an
elaborate automatic apparatus for pro-
tecting us from the i'll effects of great
and sudden variations in temperature.
But this machinery, like most other
machinery. is kept at its highest point
OF efficiency by occasional use. A

function long left .unexercised loses
in potency, and the physiological pro-
cesses to which have referred are
no exception.
Distributed over the entire surface
of the body are thousands upon thou
sands of little glands whose main
work it Is to assist in maintaining a
uniform temperature of the blood, no
matter what may be the temperature
of the surrounding atmosphere. This
they do by eliminating from the body
greater or lesser amount of fluid
or sweat: and this work is assisted
and, indeed, made possible by the
cooperation of the smaller blood-ves-
sells, which. according as the surround
ing air is hot or cold, expand or con-
tract Immediately below the surface
Of the body. thus causing those parts
to be supplied with more or less fluid,
capable of elimination and evapora-
ton And it is found by experience,
as indeed common sense would have
suggested, that the more all this me-
chanism Is used and tested the more
efficient it Is in working. From this
1t does not follow. of course, that peo-
pie in feeble health should suddenly
expose themselves to chilling temper
atures, or sit In draughts, or take
cold baths In the middle of winter.
But it does mean that the path of wis.
dom lies in the regular inuring OF the
body TO steadily Increasing variations
OF temperature Hence the value OF
the morning cold bath or cold sponge

firm resolution on the mind. And
here too lies the explanation of the
new discovery that large part of the
value of the open window consists
not so much in the fact that pure air
is thus provided Tor our lungs to in
hale, but IN the fact that it enables
cold air to play around the skin of
our face. whilst our feet and bodies
are warm. e.: .

IN THE REALM OF THE
FEMININE
Stand Erect

for nye-minute periods. The head
was against the door, the shoulders
fiattened against it, the hands and
elbows touched, as well as back, and
heels. This brought the body to its
perfect position, spine straight, chest
out. shoulders in, balance just above
the ball OF the foot Pretty soon this
erect position became second nature.
A stffly straight position Is
neither healthy nor beautiful. 1t
gives one an appearance Of being
purse proud, affected or self-con-
scious. While the body should be
held straight, there should be a free
dom of muscle and q relaxed look to
make one really graceful. +.
Try this exercise OF standing
against door few moments each
day. Presently the muscles will be-
come accustomed TO the pose, so that,
while you will never unconsciotIsly
lake that exact posture, you will at
least stand straishter and more firm
ly than before. .-.... -.
And remember that grace lies in
relaxed lines. Do not walk or stand
rigidly, or you. will lose all claims
to beauty. ~. :..... -.
