causing the valve to remain open or
closed. the mixture thus being too
rich or too lean respectively. Dirt
might get In the float valve. thus
stopping the flow of the gasoline into
the Carhurctcr.
Let us see. by referring to the IL
lustration. II there is not some way
by which we can quickly tell II tho
flow OF tho gasoline has been stopped.
When the engine Is not running, il
we pressed down on tho rod E
called primer and sometimes tickler
tho needle IL would be held In "A
raised position and gasoline would
flow into the carburcter until II over
flowed. Thus II we saw tho gasoline
coming out through all openings We
would know that tho flow was not
stopped, and. therefore, would be
reasonably sure that our trouble in
case of stoppage of the engine was
not due to mixture on the other
hand, If 1t does not flood, then we
know that the trouble is in the feed
of the gasoline.
Knowing that the gasoline is not
feeding. we would first have to make
sure that we had gasoline: then that
II was not turned off (the valve may
be closed due to vibration) then we
must pc sure tnat tncro are none OF
the failings due to our particular
feeding system as given above; then
see II the float valve Is clogged.
which can be done by taking the
needle out and running a thin hair
pin into the valve opening: and. III
nally, we would have to take off the
! pipe and, by running wire through
IT, mako sure that II is not clogged up.
As TO the test OF the various
styles OF feed Uo he studied In de-
tail lnter). II you have n gravity-feed
system you can easily tell whether or
not, when you are on hill. tho car
hureter Is higher than the level OF tho
gasoline in the supply tank. II II Is,
tho remedy is to turn the car around
and go up the hill backward. Leak
age of air pressure in the pressure

watching the pressure gauge. II tho

that IL Is leaking cut Generally

Mixture trouble may. however. de-
velop. due To trouble In the flow OF
the gasoline to the Carhureter: To ex-
ira air getting into the mixture be
tween the carhurctcr and engine; or
TO water being IN the gasoline
As to the extra air While this is
an unusual trouble. sometimes tho
bolts holding the carbureter TO the
manifold. or the manifold to the en-
ginc loosen, thus allowing air to get
in at these joints and 40 weaken tho
mixture. II is a good plan. there
fore. to test and tighten these bolts
once in while. !'y pouring oil
around the joints you can see If
there is leakage. as If there Is the oil

As the trouble due TO the flow Of
the gasoline to the Carburetcr? Tho
ways In which this might bc effected
are as follows: You may bc out OF
gasoline the gasoline may be turned
off; the feed pipe may be stopped
up: your Carhuretcr may be higher
than the lever of the gas in tank, II
you are on hill, and have gravity
feed system. you may have leakage
of your air pressure II you have a
pressure feed system; there may be
trouble with your vacuum tank If
YOU have "A vacuum feed system. the
gasoline strainer In the line may be
dirty: the float valve OF tho carbu-
retcr may be stuck or cloEged.
The illustration shows the spray
nozzle, the float and float valVo of n

the level Of tho gasoline I'm the car
buretcr must always be about Lie OF
an inch below the nozzle. This Is
accomplished by placing n float mado
either of cork or hollow metal In the
liquid In the gasoline chamber, and
having this float work n valve

you will notice that when some OF the
gasoline is drawn out of the gasoline,
or float chamber. as II Is called,
through the spray nozzle 4, the Float

take the place of that drawn off In
this way the level I'm the chamber Is

EXCESS WEIGHT IS
HARD ON The TIRES
Scientific Weight Reduc-
tion Would Save $780,
100000 on Tires.

Last year, according to n statement
issued by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, motor car
users discarded 5000, 600 tires, rep
resenting an expenditure of more
than s290, 100000.
What would be the result II half
of this sum, approximately $15O,0O0.-
600, could be saved annually? 1t
would pay for the construction of
five concrete highways across the
continent each year; IL would build
another Panama canal in three years;
pay off the national debt in seven
years; or build fleet of ten first
class battleships every year.
That there really is an enormous
economic waste, and that saving
Of $3.50, 100000 of the annual tire bill
is not an idle dream is shown by fig
ures which have been gathered and
averaged by a prominent statistician.
For the year 1915 4.750 miles per set
OF tires was the average on all cars
listed except one. This car, the
Franklin, established an average of
$3.50 miles per set over the same
period, more than SO per cent better
than the general average.
Hiram Percy Maxim famous in
ventor, finds the secret OF tire serv.
ice to be a question of the load and
the type OF suspension. He says: IF
the load on pneumatic tires never ex-
ceeds the elastic limit of the rubber,
they will endure very long time,
whereas II loaded but slightly be-
yond the elastic limit they soon go to
pieces"
His theory is that rigid construc-
tion and heavy weight account for tho
low general average. Obviously
flexibly constructed car will relieve
the tire strain and prevent their
stretching beyond the elastic limit OF
the rubber. Another obvious deduc-

and the carburetor-if you have a
vacuum systcm--or between this
tank and the supply tank, by open
ing the pet cock at the bottom OF It.
II gasoline comes out. then the trou-
bic is between the Carbureter and the
vacuum tank, while If II is dry II Is
either due to fault in the vacuum
tank itself or in the pipe between 1t
and the main tank
Water in the Gasoline.
Water in the gasoline may cause
tho engine to stop suddenly, but
usually the stopping is accompanied
by popping in the carbureter and
loss of power. Sometimes the
water will cause the engine to sort
OF hesitate n moment then speed up
and again hesitate
The remedy for water. when tho
engine has stopped or fails to start
due to il. is TO drain the carbureter
after gently tapping IT, AS rule. to
start tho engine YOU will have to
prime it, often through the compress
sion cocks. AS soon MS the engine
starts race 1t for second or two.
Wherc the water has gotten into the
carburetcr due to rain or the wash
ing of the car the above will usually
be sufficient, but If 1t is in the tank
YOU will have to drain off the gaso-
line. let the tank dry. and then refill
with strained gasoline.
II you are so unfortunate ms TO buy
gasoline with water in II while on
the road YOU will have to nurse
your engine for the rest of the trip.
This YOU can do, when you feel the
water due to sudden loss of power
or popping, by throwing out the
clutch and racing the engine for a
moment, or by changing the condi-
ton OF drive; that is, by shifting to
second or low, or asain, back from
second to high.

While their pumpkins came without

passive of today are in many cases
forced to use the canned pumpkin,
and excellently good it is. If fortunate
enough, however, to get the genuine
pumpkin, it seems more "ThankSgiv-
ing" to follow grandmOther's example
from the start. In this case having
caught your pumpkin-a small sweet
sugar one preferred-wash, cut up
without peeling, scrape out all the
woody fiber, then put over the fire
on the back of the stove. Add just
little water to keep it from sticking
on the bottom, cover closely and steam
gently for six or eight hours. At the
end of this time the pumpkin pulp
should be thoroughly cooked in it's own
Juices. Take up, cool little, then pull
off the skin with a sharp knife. Press
through a sieve and let it stand over
night in a press so as to remove the
superduous liquid. When ready to
bake, measure the pulp and to every
five cupfuls allow one teaspoonful Of
salt, half grated nutmeg, table
spoonful of mace, two teasponfuls OF
ginger and a large cupful Of sugar
Beat four eggs and stir into the pump
kin pulp, together with four cupfuls OF
sweet milk and half cupful of cream.

sweet enough. Turn into plates lined
with good pastry and bake three-quar
ters of an hour until firm in the cen
ter and a rich, golden brown. Serve
