period of waiting in the harbor sud

tivity. Newspaper launches and small
boats used by moving picture men got
under way and tried TO work their per-
ilous course about the numerous con-

Strange Craft Kept OF.
But. of still more Importance, sew

tied TO ownership by the Allies also
got under way. Whatever their pur-
pose was they did not succeed IN get,

to carry out any designs against IT,
The Wissahickon, the custom house
boat that was assigned to the task OF
keeping between the submarine and
any hostile craft that might venture
into neutral waters, made certain that
these smaller boats were kept at sate
distance.
As the procession of boats passed
down the Patapsco River and into
Chesapeake Bay it presented strange
picture 10 those who in the lowering
light of the setting sun lined the shores
to watch the departure. First was the
Timmins, with its line TO the squat, fat
body Of the blockade runner. Then
bobbing around to every point OF the
compass, came the Efco. Next came the
United States customs boat VISA
hickon, followed by the numerous large
and small launches, sailboats, speed
boats and rowboats of those who had
friendly and unfriendly designs on the
departing German submarine.
One glance at the body Of the
Deutschland showed that German in
genuity had been worked TO the limit

Its steel gray hulk had been painted
over a neutral sea green, while its top
had been streaked with irregular whit
ish lines, such as might be made upon

you advise me?
I am having lot Of carbon trouble
Our local garage told me that If
would install leak proof rings they
would do away with that, but they do
not help any.
Should not those rings have been
fitted to the cylinders? Garage people
say no, as they were already fitted.
. Can you tell me the number of volts
contained in 10 cells connected FIVE in
series, two multiple? w. C.
The miss fire may be due to a loose
connection in the switch or dirt in the
gasoline line.
II the carbon trouble Is caused by
of any make will be useless unless the
cylinders are round. The cylinders
wear oval. due to the side thrust Of the
pistons on power stroke, and when they
are considerably worn new rings will
not improve them
The only remedy is to re-grind the
cylinders and put in new pistons and
rings.
The 10 cells, connected in two mul-
tiple sets of five in series, will give
about 7.5svolts when new.
Motoring Department - Will you
kindly express an opinion as I'd wheth-
or shaft driven self starter for low,
powered auto would require more pow
er from the motor than a chain driven
one?
Also, IL a empowered car could
climb the same grade on high speed
after an electric starter has been in
stalled as before? READER.
shaft-driven self starter, driving
through gears, has approximately the
same friction loss that a chain driven
starter has. therefore the power con-
sumed would be nearly the same. If
the starter were driven through worm
gears the friction loss would be great
er; hence greater consumption of
power.
The power required to drive the
starting dynamo and the weight OF the
starting apparatus would detract only
slightly from the hill climbing on high
speed.
