tional states going dry and other
states making notable antiliquor

Twenty three of The AZ states are

abolition of the saloon in their re-

the trouble seems traceable to the
radiator. Since the water is circu-
ating properly, the trouble undoubt-
edly lies in the radiating ability of
the radiator. The tubes or sections

II have four-cylinder, 35-horse
power car of this years model which
has suddenly developed peculiar
missing. The car is equipped with
magnetic and misses on
cylinders 2 and 3 at all speeds and
hits as well as ever on cylinders /
and 4. There is no spark at 2 and
3 whatever, while l and have a
strong spark. The wires are in good
shape; also the plugs. What is the
remedy for this trouble Wv. R.
Turner.
The trouble it appears lies in the
primary interrupter in the magnetic.
One of the cams which operates this
without doubt is worn or defective
and does not cause the interrupter
points to open.
There are two cams operating the
interrupter which work alternately.
The firing order of your engine is
either 1-2-4-3 or 1-3-4-2, and it is
evident that one cam operates for
the spark in and A cylinders and
the other cam for the and 8 cylin-
ders.
The trouble may be located by re-
moving the magnetic and revolving
the armature slowly by hand. Watch
the interrupter points to see If they
separate properly every half revolu-
ton of the shaft.
Helpful Hints to Motor Car Owners.
In grinding valves it is advisable
to use light spring under the valve
head, acting to raise the valve from
The seat; the valve should be worked
up and down SO as to work the abra-
sive material on to the seat. In
grinding the valve should be ro-
tated in a reciprocating motion, not
turned continually in one direction,
else ridges will be formed.

"Mazourka' had been heard before in
Honolulu, but his other five numbers
were new. The scores of some of
them are now in the hands of publish
ers in Leipzig, and will be published
shortly.
