PROBLEMS OF THE MOToRIsT.


as TO the cause and remedy. The
starter itself will work, but will not
start the engine. To me it seems as
if trouble was in the ignition. Every
thing seems to be in good condition
mechanically A. B.
The trouble probably lies between
the carburetion and the ignition. Prime
the cylinders and spin the engine. If
it refuses to start look for ignition
troubles. Trace out the line from bat
terry clear through to spark plugs until
trouble Is located. If the engine fires
few times and stops, look for carbu-
retion troubles, starting at the tank
and working through the engine.
Motoring department-A discussion
has taken place wherein one party
maintains that the hand acceleration
of motor is preferable to the foot ac-
celeration for uniformity in driving;
the only possible way to drive without
racing or jerking the motor on heavy
roads at fair rate of speed, due to a
drivers inability to control his foot in
going over rough roads; saving gas
thereby and. lastly, using the motor
given to make its life of long duration.
1t is conceded that some prefer one or
the other as a matter of taste but the
question is: Are the questions as
above correct? I might state the other
party ,repudiates all the claims as
above. H A.
With a properly fitted foot rest the
foot throttle will be found to be best,
as it allows the hands to be used mere
ly for steering. For city driving we
set the throttle lever at about the low
est speed we shall have to use and
speed up by accelerator pedal when
ever the way is clear. For open coun-
try driving we set the throttle lever
at the speed at which we wish to run
and use the accelerator very little
This relieves the strain on the foot.
AS we approach a block or crossing,
we throttle down by hand. The foot
throttle is best where we change
speed frequently, the hand throttle
where little changing is necessary. On
very rough roads the car must be
driven slowly. and the accelerator
pedal is best, as it enables us to quick
ly take advantage of any smooth spots
as they occur. Some drivers get best
results with the hand throttle. and
some with the accelerator pedal. The
question is not susceptible of any def
mite answer as it depends partly on the
design Of foot rest and partly on the
drivers skill.

MAXWELL AS AN
AID TO FARMERS
Automobile Takes Place Of
Old Dobbin on California
Ranches.

Old Dobbin, through the progress
siveness OF the California rancher. has
come into his own on a broader scale
in state state than elsewhere in the
country, according to the best avail
able data. In that great commonwealth

both in the central valleys and in the
mountain counties. which in the past
has been accomplished chiefly with the
horse, is now being done in the more
modern way with the motor car.
California's farmers. from the be-
ginning of the auto industry in the
west, have been the most important
factors in creating and maintaining
the prosperity of the motor car bust
ness. The fact that California's an
nual crops are usually o. the bump
err" variety, accounts in a large mea-
sure for the tremendous and contin-
uous growth of the automobile bust
ness in that state. The prosperity of
the farmer there has always been re-
Elected in the prosperity of the auto
mobile business.
Varied as the farm and dairy pro-
ducts of California are the uses to
which the rancher of that state puts
the automobile. They extend from the
most common usage of providing
pleasure for the rancher's family and
hauling crops to market to towing 9TH
er farm vehicles, operating farm ma
chinery and actually furnishing the
motive power for the self operating
milking machines. During each sue
ceeding season some new and ingenious
uses are made of the motor car-some
calling for sheer strength of the cars
materials; others simply for clever
application of the engines power.
John r. Leland, a prosperous
rancher of the Santa Cruz mountains,
furnishes a striking example of the
uses to which the rancher puts his
motor car. During the past haying
season Leland hauled all Of his hay
from the fields to the stacks, a dis
lance of nearly one mile. with the aid
of his Maxwell rs touring car. Leland
would load the cut hay on an ordinary
hay wagon, then tow the latter from
the field with his Maxwell Leland
has many other uses for his car and
states that he would be absolutely at
loss without his machine while at
work on the ranch.

Billy Sunday, the baseball evangelist,
realizes the value of the automobile in
conducting his great religious REVEALS
throughout the country. During his

he wrote an appreciation to the Max

when in neutral. but when thrown into

help. Before I had the magnetic over

speeds. Can you give me an idea how
to overcome the trouble? NJ. N.
From your description the trouble
seems to be elsewhere than in the mag
neto. The carburetor may be out of
adjustment, giving no power when
throttle is opened. The spark or
throttle lever may be disconnected and
not move the parts as required. The
brakes may bind, or there may be a
dry bearing in the transmission. BY
looking over and testing these parts
the trouble will probably be located.
Motoring department-Wha causes

Ing while on the road. but the instant
the engine stops steam comes from
the radiator. l do not think the pump
is broken or the radiator clogged as ]
can see the water moving in top of
radiator. T. n.
If the bottom of the radiator Is hot
the pump is working properly. The
symptom you mention occurs where the
motor has been crowded too much and
Is on the verge of overheating. 1t is
due to the fact that the steam formed
around the cylinders is swept away by
fresh water coming from the pump.
When the engine is stopped the water
remains in contact with the hot cylin-
ders. causing the rush of steam you
mention. 1t is not necessarily
symptom of trouble Cleaning the
radiator with washing soda should re-
1uce the steaming somewhat.

The ammeter should be placed be-
tween the battery and the switch. Use
No. 10 wire or larger and connect in
such way that it will show charge
while battery is charging and dis
charge while battery is discharging. It
is not customary to protect it by a
fuse as it is capable of standing the
usual current running through it. I'm

G. r.
You do not state whether front and
rear wheels are the same size or not.
If they are different extra shoes and
tubes will be required. To the usual
jack, pump, and tire tools, add the fol-
lowing repair kit: One blowout patch,
one tire sleeve, one box self cementing
patches and tire cement, as the patches
are more easily applied If it is used
also sand paper and cotton waste. Tire
putty should be carried to repair cuts
in tread and to mend tube when
patches are not available.>~ A pressure
gauge and box of tire chalk are indis-
pensable. Half a dozen each of valve
plungers and caps and a valve repair
tool are necessary. OF course you will
carry two extra shoes and three or four
extra tubes. A full set Of chains is re-
commended as mountain roads, after a
heavy rain, are apt to be slippery.

Salmon Of Fast Color.

And in this connection comes a
story, which Is fairly well authenti-
Gated, OF how one of the salmon kings
started his fortune in the fish indus
try on the basis OF the then despised
light-colored salmon. This man had
put up his cannery at location past
which the fish came in great numbers
on their way in to spawn. He was
right in his selection of a site and the
salmon were caught in vast quanti-
ties. They were all, however, of the
light pink variety, and the fisherman
was In despair. At that time no light
colored salmon had been shipped and
the demand everywhere was for sal
mon of an almost red hue. The man
canned his catch and sold it by means
of label which implied that it was
the only sanitary fish on the market.
The label read: This salmon is war
ranted not to turn red in the can" The
most OF the catch went to the southern
states, and the drummers selling it
did their business so well that in
many Of the cities of that locality you
can hardly sell a red salmon. The peo-
pie think it Is spoiled, and has, there
fore, turned red in the can.-Christian
Herald.
