How often is it necessary to change
the oil in an engine crank case?
Some people change it about every
thousand miles, and 1t seems advisable
to do it that often. After removing the
oil through the plugs at the bottom of
the crank case it is a good plan to Ill
the case to the normal level with kerO-
sene. Start the engine, run it for a few
seconds and then drain the kerosene
thoroughly and fill with fresh engine
oil. The kerosene cleans the crank case
and cuts the gummed oil and other
foreign matter.

1t is not advisable to remove any of

leaves would not only weaken the
springs unduly, but might spoil the
riding qualities.

II the adjustment Is correct then
there is one other thing which may be
responsible for the valve noise. If the
valve guides or the valve stems, or
both, have become worn there Is a
chance for side play when they are op-

What is the reason that the generator
does not register on my meter until
reach about fifteen miles per hour, and
am unable to make II run fast enough
to make IL register fourteen, which
should be at the rate Of twenty miles
per hour We have changed genera
tors, but II has had no effect. Could
this be In the wiring Of the generator
There are three reasons which might
be given as causes Of the meters fail
ing to read or read inaccurately. This
may be due to a disarrangement In the
meter itself, In the wiring to the meter
or In insufficient or no current getting
to the instrument. In testing for the
source of current running wires to the
meter and noting If 1t registers. If It
registers across its scale, then you can
attend to the wiring or to the gen.
orator. The latter may need brush
trimming or commutator cleaning.
Would an explosion whistle which
screws in place Of printing cup have
any effect on the operation Of the mo-
tori
Such whistles usually the cy!in-
der to be imperative when the whistle
is being used.
IL Is necessary to choke the carbu-
rotor even in warm weather In order to
start my motor. The motor is In good
condition and never misfires when
warmed up. Can you tell me the trou-
BILE?
In most motors 1t Is not necessary to
close the air valve during the warmer
weather, but In some this Is necessary
all the time unless the motor Is crank
ed for about thirty seconds. It may
be that your Carburetor is so adjusted
that an unusually lean mixture Is fed
Mt low engine speeds, and for this rea
son we suggest that you open the nee
die valve q little more or decrease the
air supply.
Should a spark plug Of one manufao-
turer be used on a four cylinder On

than four different kinds?
Not necessarily. Four different spark
plugs properly adjusted and Of stand

pose as we'll as four Of the same make.
have q four cylinder motor, the lg-
milton for which 10 furnished by . low
tension magnetic. The compression In
all four cylinders seems 70 be good, but
by opening the pet cocks one at . time
the explosion In two Of the cylinders 10
weaker than In tho other two. Can you
tell me what ! can do to correct THE?
Since the compression In each cylin-
der Is good, there remains but the igni-
ton. The mixture, II right for two
cylinders, ought to be right for the
others, provided the manifold gaskets
are intact and do not leak air. The
electrodes are probably slightly disar-
ranged or the igniter springs weak.
Would advise your cleaning all the
electrodes, replacing worn parts where
necessary, also refining In order to
obtain synchronous ignition Of the
charges. The springs which separate
the electrodes at the breakaway
should be sufficiently strong to cause
an abrupt break. The duration Of con-
tact Of the electrodes should be long
enough to permit the current to rise to
its maximum and produce q heavy
spark at the break.

and radiator. There are two OF these.
Take off the radiator by christening
the bolts which hold 1t to the frame.
Disconnect the spark and throttle con-
trolls from the bottom Of the steering
gear. Loosen the connection between
the end Of the exhaust manifold and
the pipe running to the muller. Dis
connect the gasoline feed pipe from the
carburetor. II the car Is fitted with
electric cranking and lighting then you
will have to emove the wires from the
electric motor and generator and also
from the horn. Be sure to tag each
wire so you will know where to replace
1t.
The next step Is to ~disengage the en-
CINE unit from the drive shaft. There
Is q means Of doing this back Of the
clutch. Take out the bolts that make
the connection. Finally remove the
holding bolts which fasten the rear
arms Of the engine to the frame mem
bers and then disconnect the front sup
port, and by the use of an overhead
crane or block and pulley arrangement
the engine should come out Of the chas-
sis after moving II to clear the drive
shafting at the back OF the clutch.
A motor should not have a knock at
any time. Under the conditions you
mention the knock Is probably either
n carbon ignition or gas knock. You
may be giving the engine too much
fuel on ascending grades, or you may
open your throttle too quickly. Re
tard the spark somewhat on hills and
see IL the knock IS not eliminated.
Would il pay mo to set my carbu-
rotor higher, thus lessening the length
Of the manifold, and equip my car
with a vacuum feed system? The gaso.
line tank being under the front seat the
carburetor cannot be elevated without
a system.
Anything that will aid in the short.
cning Of the intake manifold is an
advantage, and you could probably
ret good results with a cut tank.
The less the condensation in the mani
fold the better, and a shorter manifold
would give you more power. Besides,
1t would make the carbureter more ac-
ccsSible.

kERosENE WILL REMOVE
STAINS FROM BATH TUB

The most efficient method OF re-.
moving that oily deposit which forms
on the sides Of the porcelain bath tub
and bowl is to use kerosene. Take
some soft paper, modsten with hero-
sene and rub over the soiled part.
Thds will cut the grease easily and
the extra kerosene can be wiped up
with more paper. which. with the
first, should be burned, to avoid dan
ger. The fixtures may then be wash
ed with plenty OF soap and hot wat
er and they are clean. This method
requires very little rubbing and Is
not injurious to the finish.
Avoid the use Of soda or securing
powders. Theee will dn time injure
the finish OF the enamel.
To remove brown stains caused by
standing or dripping water use a lit
tie oxalic acid and wash out with
plenty of clear water. This is very
effective.-Nellie M. Killgore, Colo

FLOUR AND OIL WILL
KEEP RUST AWAY

Machines and polished parts OF
machines not in daily use, and sub
jected to ordinary atmospheric condi-
tions. will soon rust. thereby render
ing them unsightly, aud IN time will
cause a very noticeable deterioration.
When machines are laid up for a
time, such as farm machinery, the
parts not actually painted should be
coated with a rust preventative. Such
a substance should have the qualities
OF chsapness, ease OF application and
removal. and not be injurious to the
surface coated.
A good and inexpensive coat may be
made by mixing flour with common
machinery or lubricating oil. This
mixture should have a consistency Of
chin paste. II may be applied with a
paint brush. The flour keeps the oil
from drying hard, and the oil will
prevent the air and moisture from
coming into contact with the surface
Of the parts treated. thereby prevent
ing rust or corrosive effects.
This coating may be easily re-
moved by a cloth or a piece Of waste
saturated with coal oil or gasoline

WASHINGTON NEWS

Washington, d. C.,-The House OF
Representatives tas just adopted the
most imposing naval building pro-
gramme ever considered by the Ann
erioan congress.
Among TIE vesee e's authorized we're
five ttg battle cruisers, four scout
cruisers, ten destroyers. fifty submar-
ines, one fuel ship. one ammunition
ship and one hospital ship. When
ccmpleted these vessels will have
cost about $1S5, 900 900, and they will
give this country a navy second only
to that OF Great Britain.
What Is more important, We will
have navy which will be able to
contend with any navy on earth in
our own waters. In other words, we
will have navy adequate for all de-
fensive purposes.
While building up the navy we did
not overlook the necessity for TAX
ing the profits out of war" We ap-
propriated $11 100000 to construct a
government armor plate factory. thus
sounding the death -knell of the plund-
ering armor-plate trust which has had
this country by the throat for a quar-
ter of q century. We set aside &c.
900 900 to equip our navy yards so
they may be utilized for the construc
ton of warships of the largest types.
This was a hard blow at the ship
building trust, which has been count
ing on wHnging enormous profits out
Of the new naval building programme.
We also provided for the building
OF large projectile factory. and eU-
perimental laboratory and for the en-
largement Of the mechanical depart
ments of existing navy yards. We
did all this in the face of the stub
born opposition OF the "standpat"
element. Some Of the votes were un'
comfortably close, but we always had
a safe margin.
When the other appropriation bills
come up we expect to provide addi-
tional facilities for government manu-.
facture of munitions.
Tho Best Provision Of All.
The most inspiring provision in the
bill, however, was inserted at the
suggestion Of Representative, Hens,ey
of Missouri.
1t provides that at the conclusion
of the European war the president
shall invite all the great governments
of the earth to send representatives
to conference which shall be charg-
ed with the duty of suggesting some
plan by which Disputes between ma
tons may be referred to a. proper
tribunal for peaceful settlement. The
conference Is also to formulate a
scheme for international disarma-
ment.
AS an evidence OF the good faith
Of the United States. the bill author
izes the president, whenever he is
convinced that the object of the pro-
posed conference las been attained.
to proceed with the reduction of our
naval and military establishments.
Thus, white donning the arnor of
defense, America appeals to war
worn Europe to abandon the policy
which has drenched a world with
the blood OF brothers and return to
peace. God grant that the appeal
may not be made in vain!
