Will you kindly advise me the ex-
treme bore, regardless of the length OF
the stroke, which could be used in a
motor to come under 300 cubic inches
piston displacement?
BY this you no doubt mean to infer
that the motor must be within the limit
Of practical design, and since you do
four cylinder motor will be assumed.
Taking a motor of three inch stroke as
being about as little as possible to
come under the head of eve reason
able practice, the bore OF such a motor
would be five and fve-eighths inches
TO give a displacement Of 1852 cubic
inches.

Can you give me the formula for
gear bronze?
Gear bronze that is most generally
used is an alloy containing SO to 30 per
cent copper and - TO 10 per cent tin.
There is no standard gear bronze
adopted. but the above Is in quite con.
mon use. or course manufacturers
sometimes have their own special for
mula, but the ssh alloy has proved
very successful.

Can one increase the size Of the car
huretor on the same manifold and same
portfolios and increase the speed, or
would it load up?
This depends on the motor. Usually
it is necessary TO increase the mani
fold when the carburetor size is in
creased to get best results.

The timing gears in my four cyIin-
der runabout rattle. What remedy
would you suggest to prevent this?
The rattle is undoubtedly due to ex
cessive veal The back lash in the
gears causes the noise. We advise you
to install new timing gears.
Can you explain how the power de-
veIoped by the engine and the speed at
which the car runs are affected by
manipulation Of the spark and throttle
levers?
The power developed by the engine
must necessarily depend on the mum
Der Of explosions charged in the cylin
der; hence if you open the throttle
more there will be more gas in the cyl
inder and therefore more power. Ad-
vancing the spark permits the explO-
sion to take place early in the stroke
and, by allowing the motor to take al
vantage Of the expansion of the burn
ing gases. gives a higher mean effective
pressure.
What 10 meant by three point sus-
pension, and Of what advantage 10 it?
Three point suspension means the
suspension Of the power plant at three
points making a triangular layout. The
advantage Is hat racking OF the frame
or twisting Of the side members has a
minimum tendency to impose strains
on b motor supports.
Can you explain the difference De-
tween brake horsepower and horse
power at the drawbar? Also 10 the
horsepower the same for all manu-
facturers, and is its value $50 foot
pounds per seeond7
Brake horsepower signifies the horse
power delivered by the crankshaft Of
the motor and is generally measured
upon some form Of braking device.
Horsepower at the drawbar Is gener-
ally a measure Of the towing power Of
the vehicle.
Horsepower means the same to all
manufacturers. as 1t is a definite guam
tity. meaning $4,000 foot pounds per
minute or $50 foot pounds Der second.

Is it better to put the .op or q car up
or leave il down when storing the car?

Is It better to put the .op or = car up
or leave il down when storing the car?
Standing for a long period in a folded
condition the top is apt to get creased
and damaged. so when storing the car
it Is advisable to put the top up. thus
allowing it to remain in smooth shape
against cracking or creasing of the
material. Besides this. the top will
catch much Of the dust which would
ordinarily settle or the upholstery.
Still better for the upholstery would be
a sheet or %tarpaulin spread over 1t.
This is especially true If the upholstery
is cloth or any cloth preparation. Dust
OF several months IS not easy TO get
out Of the weave, and 1t never does any
fabric any good. Even in the folds OF
the leather It Is hard to remove.

The displacement Of one cylinder of

latiOns. in order to obtain e%ighty-ive
pounds compression the cylinder clear

With this percentage the volume OF
the compression space would be 31.625
cubic inches.
The above clearance Is taken as the
minimum. Under maximum conditions
Of tightness. etc, to obtain e~ighty-five
pounds per square inch compression
the cylinder clearance can be 80 per
cent Of the piston displacement. All
The pressures given above are In
pounds per square inch absolute.
Does starting the engine Of an auto
mobile on compression affect the en-
CINE in any way?
This method of starting will not
harm the motor. although at one time
Its effects were seriously considered,
The general consensus Of opinion Is
that the explosion Is so much weaker
than the ordinary One that no harm
could possibly result.

It is a popular opinion that n stron.,
arm is one of the essentials for an
instructor IN the country schoolhouse.
Men naturally possess stronger quail
ficattons I'm this line than tho feminine
sex. But superintendent Maxwell says
the day of the teacher who taught
with book in one hand and q switch
in the other are gone.
Men are inclined to overlook many
details that are absolutely necessary
to u successful schoolroom, Maxwell
asserts. Women also give more in
dividual attention to the pupils who
need it, he says.
About one-third of the teachers in
the county schools are men. Their
compensation is about the same as
that paid women.
Tulsa county teachers are better
paid than those in many other coun-
ties of oklahoma. The average salary
is Sj5 a month. Principals generally
receive 500 month or more The
principal Of the Broken Arrow school
receives 1896.
Both men and women teachers are
generally satisfied with the conditions
in rural schools, Maxwell believes. The
school year in majority OF the dis
trlcts lasts ten months, only few
having less than that

today. Fire started in the City cafe
on the south side of Main street, l75
feet burned on the south side and 175
'on the north side, which the wind
spread. Fifty business houses were
burned to the ground, including the
postoffice and bank. in both latter
