Timing the Magnetic.
Timing the magnetic so that the
spark occurs at the proper point in the
stroke of the piston is not difficult
operation and can easily be accom-
plished by the average owner. For the
purpose the direction of rotation of the
magnetic should be ascertained, and
then the piston of the forward cylin-
der should be brought up on its COM
preston stroke until it is just on the
dead centre. Then the contact break
er should be put in position where
il is just about to break on the for
ward cylinder cam and the spark con-
troll lever on the magnetic set so that
il is at full retard. With the device
in this position, the teeth OF the drive
gear or coupling should mesh, but II
they do not the gear or coupling on the
magnetic shaft can be loosened and the
whole shifted sufficiently TO cause the
teeth to mesh. This timing Will be
found TO be correct for the average
engine, although there are cases when
it is advisable 10 alter 1t signify.
Magnetic May Cause Overheating.
Improper handling of the spark con-
troll is not always the cause OF over
heating in an engine with well ad-
justed carburetor. IL is entirely pos
sible for the connections in the spark
control system TO loosen up so that
there is a certain amount OF lost mo-
ton. Which is TO say, that although
the spark control is placed in the fully
advanced position, the position OF the
breaker box is such that the ignition
is retarded so that perfect operation
cannot be expected. BY the same token
il is TO be expected that where there is
lost motion in the spark control system
there will be a tendency for the engine
to pound when laboring hard, as, for
instance, on a hill; for while the con-
troll may be set for full retard, the
spark is in reality slightly advanced.
This trouble may not occur often, but
il is among the possibilities and should
be watched for.

the breaker is correct, and most prob
ably such is the case, for they are prop
erly adjusted and tested before leaving
the factory, but accident are liable to
happen to cause arrangement. Thus,
for instance, the contact breakc- or the
contact breaker arm, as the case may
be, may have slipped on the shaft
slightly, throwing the timing out and
causing a loss of spark efficiency which
is most puzzling. The correction, OF
course, involves the ascertainlng of the
correct relation in the manner already
pointed out, then resetting the breaker
or the cam. and locking it in place TO
avoid a recurrence of the mishap.
Result of characterization.
Probably the most prolific cause Of
loss Of spark efficiency is the loss OF
magnetism from the magnets. A Sc
we're blow, improper installation or the
lack OF proper care when the magnetic
is taken apart all contribute TO dc
magnetiZation.
When the device is installed, for in
stance, it is best that the magnetic
should rest on a non-magnetic plate
in most engines the magnetic is sup
ported on an aluminium bracket, which
is ideal. In case it becomes necessary
to SHIN up the device when making the
fitting. SHIN of some non-magnetic
material should be used-not a SHIN

the intake manifold can be eliminated,

Please explain how the planetary
transmission of the Ford car operates
C. Roberts.
A planetary transmission is one in
which the groups of gears, which are
always in mesh, revolve around a main
axis. These different sets of gears are
brought into action by stopping the
revolution of the parts which support
the gears. The operation of stopping
is effected by means of bands of sim
liar type to those used for brakes.
These bands are adjustable and may be
removed for renewal. The entire Ford
transmission may be removed from the
power plant by taking off four cap
screws which normally hold the fly
wheel to the crankshaft.

You can determine the state of the
charge by the use of an hydrometer.
Full charge shows a specific gravity of
approximately 1885 and a gravity of

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY ID
 VISIT HASSAYAMPA

Louis Bernard, who is interested in the Flora mine of Hassavampa dis trict, has received advices from Washington that the geological sur vey is to send engineers to make an examination of the property, since the discovery of sEeeite was made. IL was asked that samples of the ore he forwarded al once.
 A shipment of several pounds of unassorted raw product was sent during the week. by MT. Bernard. Ii contains a heavy percentage of the rare mineral as well as silver values that run to 8 ounces to the ton.
 The owner stated yesterday that since the sheelite condition had been encountered the driving ahead of the tunnel had been extended for over 50 feet and to date had reached a point in of 2S0 feet. Determinations are satisfactory by a vein of ore up to Is inches in width being exposed. the value of which reaches to S240 per ton in cheelite and over 35 ounces in silver. To date there are on the dump ten tons. and arrangements are being closed to begin shipping at once. After the arrival of the geo logical engineers from Washington. it is expected that some important development may arise to affect the future of this property. The Flora has been active at intervals for many years. but the discovery of sheelite in the old dump was accidentally made only last month.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Announcemen of big export transactions aggregating 1,750,000 bushels turned wheat prices decidedly upward after the market had undergone d succession of nervous changes. The close was strong, one to 1%c net higher, with December at $1.54 and May at s1.55R. Corn finished k off to F up; oats with a gain of Is to x and provisions varying from 7hc decline to an advance of 10 cents
 Notwithstanding that wheat closed with a burst of strength, speculators hammered the market during the greater part of the session. An uneX- pected increase of the United States visible supply total gave the bears a handle early to offset the bullish in- fluence of higher cable quotations. Then, too, there was gossip that stren- uous efforts would be made by West ern Europe to obtain supplies other wise than from North America or through the DardaneHes.
 High premiums which were being paid for cash wheat indicated that an urgent demand existed at present for shipment to Europe from the United States and Canada. Changes in the value of corn depended chiefly on the action of wheat. Export houses were good buyers of oats. Provisions aver aged higher with hogs. Close:
 Wheat: Dec. $1.54; May $1.55K. Corn: Dec. 76Bc; May 79bc
 Oats: Dec. 4s5sc; May 52kc
 Pork: Oct. $2700; Jan. $24.S0.

TEXAS O|L MAN |S
 HERE INVESTIGATING

Those interested in Arizona oil pos abilities should talk with T. F. Den man of Houston, Texas, who is now ests of his own company, The Fort Stockton Oil and Development Associ- ation of Fort Stockton, Texas, and partly to acquaint himself with oil prospects in Arizona. Denman has been mixed up with the oil business for over twenty years in Ohio, Louisiana, Oklahoma California, Texas and Mex ico. Denman is the latest expert to visit the district where the Easter Oil, Gas and Mining Eompany's rig has been erected and he is very enthusias- tic over the oil indications of that property. All the surface indications are good he says, and from the topOg- raphy of central Arizona he says he believes that Holmes has located the best possible place in which to drill He visited the property on Monday and made a careful inspection of the prop erty and equipment, and says that he will be very much surprised f a good flow of artesian water is not struck as well as gas and oil.
 Y. L. Holmes, secretary and treas urer of the Easter company. says that the response to his announcements has been most satisfactory. and now that people know that the promoters have done their share and put up a stan dard rig. that it will doubtless be a very short time before enough stock is sold to cover all the expense of drilling.

 He devoted himself to a plea for the common people. His appeal for support for President Wilson was without bitterness, and was enjoyed as much by those of opposite political faith as by the many democrats pres ent.
 He paid a high compliment to Ari- Zona as a state of progressive ideals.
