What is the objection found 30 trans
mission gears built in and receiving ths
same oil as the cylinders? Is there any
great objection to this oil as used in
crank case as a lubricant to the trans
mission gears?
The main objection TO this is that
the lubricant which is suitable for cyl
inders is not suitable for gears. Gears
require viscOus lubricant, which
clings to the surface and provides a
substantial film between the teeth.
The gear wheel must be able TO carry
the oil around with it. In the cylinder
the oil requirements are entirely diff
ferent. The difficulties of high tenn
peratures must be met with. and since
an entirely different set of conditions
are to be faced the oil will naturally
have TO be different if it is to provide
ideal fabrication. Very often makers
in the past have connected the gear set
to the crank case, so that the oil In the
latter worked It's way 10 the former,
and vice versa. These makers have
gradually abandoned the method, how
ever, as the oil from the crank case
was not considered TO he ideal for the
gear set Another great objection to
the use of the interconnected gear set
and crank case is that the car user
would often put heavy oil in the gear
box, with the result that it would
work its way into the crank case and
cause carbonization Of the cylinders.
Is it necessary for the 'front.' wheels
of a car to toe in, and, if so, how much?
1t is customary to give the front
wheels one-quarter inch foregather to
fnnilitnfn ctnnrinn

My car is hard TO start in cold
weather. Would increasing the num-
Der of dry batteries approximate a
high tension magnetic, and, again,
would increasing the number of bat
teries injure the eoil7
No. This would injure the coll by
allowing an excessive current TO flow
through it. If your present cells are
in good condition they should furnish
a satisfactory spark for easy starting.
The spark is probably all right, but
the real difficulty is due TO the gaso-
Zine not vaporizing. To overcome this
trouble you might use a lighter grade
of gasoline, such as you can probably
obtain at your drug store. Ether
might also be used. Either OF these
fuels may be injected through the
printing cups or introduced through
special printing device. There are sew
eral devices on the market which IA
ciltate starting on cold mornings by
warming the fuel. One OF these might
be a good remedy for your trouble.
You might also use a radiator heater
TO keep the motor warm at night.

Do you recommend the use of wood
alcohol as anti carbon treatment When
! used it the car smoked, but seemed to
run better.
Wood alcohol should be satisfactory.
Four ounces should be enough for each
cylinder. After injection of the liquid
80 all cylinders the motor should be
cranked a few times to distribute the
alcohol to all parts of the combustion
chambers.

Some engines stop almost immedi-
ately after the switch is cut of, while
others seem to lose their momentum
gradually. Why is this?
When the switch is cut off OH an en-.
CINE it is merely a matter OF bringing
to rest the moving parts, which are no
longer propelled by the explosion of
the gases in the combustion chamber.
Only one influence is probably great
enough to be considered as the oppos-
ing factor TO the movement of the mo-
tor, and this is the internal friction.
When this has eXerted its influence to
such an extent that the motor is I'M
able TO turn itself over against the
compression of the cylinders il will
come to rest. The compression is not
ali opposing factor unless the momen-
tum is insufficient TO carry the motor
over top center. because when it is
carried over top center the expansion
of the compressed air gives up prac-
tically all the power which was utiliZ-
ed in compressing il. If the compress
sion is exceptionally heavy then the
speed does not have to be reduced as
far as II would If only a light COM
preston were used before the engine
will be unable 10 turn itself over the
dead point. With these considerations
It will be easily seen that motor with
tight bearings. tight piston rings and
high compression will come TO rest
much quicker than one which has the
opposite conditions or course gas
tight motor is more efficient under run
ming conditions than one which is too
free.

Why does a motor smoke when it
st starts for about five or ten min
es till it gets warm and then stops
1okine?
Z This is probably due TO metal ex-
pansion. When cold the piston and
rings are loose and oil can get to the
combustion chamber. but when hot
there is less cylinder clearance and
little. if any. oil gets to the chamber to
be burned.

Ny car misfires under load. but II I
take hill running fast il will not mis-
fire. have cleaned and adjusted tho
breaker points, also the spark plugs.
What can be the matter7
This may be caused by poor car
buretor adjustment for low and inter-
mediate; also by some arrangement in
the igniting system whereby there Is
an insufficient spark sent to the plugs
mt low engine speeds. II is possible
that you. adjusted the interapter
points improperly or that you set the
plug gaps too wide. Leaks about the
cylinder plugs and inlet manifold may
cause the trouble.

My car travels we'll up to a speed Of
twenty miles per hour, but when the
speed is increased the water bols SO
fast that the radiator is soon emptied
and consequently have the usual
trouble which accompanies a heated
engine The pump is in good condition,
new heavy hose all around. The ra-
diator was opened up and all the tubes
were free, and also the tanks are in
good shape. Circulation seems to be
good. The cylinders have recently
been burned out with oxygen. What
can be the trouble?
1t would seem that your trouble must
an improper setting of the spark,
which can be corrected by advancing
the magnetic or. second, 10y collaps-
ing hose connection between the radi-
ator and the water pump. which at
twenty miles per hour or over becomes
slosed. due To the suction Of the pump.
This latter cause seems TO be the most
probable. and ~ can be remedied by
winding a piece of wire into the shape
Of coil spring and inserting it tightly
into the tube thus holding the wall
against collapsing under the suction
OF the pump.
Would running a small stream Of wa
ter through the engine while IL is hot
and running, pouring il slowly into the
petcock at the fork Of the intake mani
fold, loosen and blow out carbon in the
eyIinders7
The use OF water in this way hardly
would loosen the carbon. Kerosene al.
lowed to remain in the cylinders for
about twelve hours would be better.
for the loosening process requires that
the oil I'm the carbon be dissolved.

What is the difference between a
torque arm and radius rod2
Radius rods are used in motorcars
to maintain the rear axle in fixed
position with relation TO rhe other driv-
ing members. Radius rods are used In
pairs, one on each side Of the axle. A
tOrque arm is rod or beam attached
at one end to the rear axle and at the
other TO a frame cross member. The
of the torque member is to
Invent the rear axle from twisting or
ling to rotate because Of the forces
ing upon it in driving and braking

CRYSTAL RIVER

Crystal River, Aug. Sunday
morning about 4 o'clock the ice fac
tory owned by H. E. Charpie caught
fire and was soon burned to the
ground. The firm alarm was given
and almost the entire population OF
Crystal River gathered, but could do
nothing to save the plant. We have
not learned the correct value of the
plant, but it was estimated at about
$4,000, and was insured for about
half that amount. Mr. Charpie intends
to erect another double the capacity
of the one that burned, and until then
will have ice shipped from Dunnellon.
Mr. Charpie and family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their great loss.
Miss Verda Hampton, who has
been the guest of Misses Effie and
Gladys Holland for several weeks,
left Sunday morning for her home in
Martel. She was accompanied home
by Miss Effie Holland. Miss Hamp-
ton is an attractive and accomplished
young lady, and made many friedns
who regret to see her leave.
Messrs. H. w. and w. H. Edwards
spent Sunday in Dunnellon.

Special Men Sent to Marion County
for Descriptive Matter by
the SeabOard

Ocala and Marion county are get
ting wealth of good publicity these
days, and any newspaper man knows
that in order to get the publicity it is
necessary that the city and county
has 3story" to tell. Special writers
do not go after "stories" where they
do not exist. At present Mr.. Earl C.
May, representing the Thomas Adver-
tising Service, of Jacksonville, and
Mr.. George H. Walker, of that city,
official photographer for the develop
ment department of the Seaboard Air
Line railway, are here gathering
facts about, and getting photographs
Of, the live stock industry of the
county. Mr.. May is writing the
"copy," and Mr.. Walker is getting the
pictures, for an illustrated article
which the Seaboard Air Line will use
in one of its publications for the pur-
pose of convincing the outside world
that cattle raising in Florida is a
profitable industry.
Yesterday Mr.. May and Mr.. Walker
were out with Mr.. 2. c. Chambliss,
and this morning were out with him
again, getting "stories' and photo
graphs of cattle, hogs, sheep, silos
and fields Of feed for the stock. They
plan this afternoon to go to the
Muclan farms on the river.

OUR STATE KEPT
ITS End UP
Criticism by Penrose and Other
Northern Senators of Florida
Troops was Unjust
st. Augustine, August 9, 1916.

st. Augustine, August 9, 1916.
Editor Star: There has been so
much comment in the press through
out the country, concerning the recent
mobilization of the National Guard,
that have obtained the permission of
the governor to print and make pub
lie, report which was submitted on
July 25, concerning the mobilization
of the troops called for from this
state.
Recently in the Senate, during the
discussion of the army appropriation
bill, some of the senators from north
ern states, and notably Senator Pen
rose from Pennsylvania, severely crit
icized the southern troops because
they had not been moved to the bor-
der. The Pennsylvania senator select
ed Florida particularly for his COM
ment. It is not known, of course,
whether there has been the same diff
ficulty in the northern states in OBJ
tanning equipment for the troops as
there has been in the southern states,
but it is certain that no troops can
move from their camps until ordered
to do SO by the commanding general
of the eastern department. The lat
ter official advised this Office that
orders for the Florida troops have not
been given because the regiment is
not fully equipped.
Obviously, this is a matter for
which no responsibility rests upon the
National Guard itself, and certainly
the remarks of the senator were un-
warranted and grossly unjust, and, as
it appears from the records, the Flor
ida troops were mobilized several
days before the National Guard of
Pennsylvania. The completion of the
requisite organization in this state,
and its recruitment to practically
twice its strength on the date of the
call, within three days, is an achieve
ment for which neither the guard nor
anyone concerned need feel ashamed.
If the method of recruiting which
was in effect at that time had not
been brought to war strength within
a very short time.
Yours very truly,
j. Clifford R. Foster.
