How to Find the Firing Order.
Many manufacturers mark the
firing order somewhere on th5 engine
while practically all give it In theiT
instruction books. Failing TO have
these guides you can find the firms
order as follows:
Determine. by studying the mani
folds, which are the inlet and which
one of these, say the inlet, and have
some one slowly crank the engine
While you watch the order in which
the valve lifters raise. This will tel
you the order of the suction strokes
As the Iower strokes must come in
the same order, il will also tell you
the firing. order.

When the crank pin. and therefor,

we say that it is on its upper dead

This is addressed to the boys of
Joliet. It's addressed to every heal
thy, red-blooded young American who
believes he has the right to play, to
fight, to learn, to be free and to do
right.
1t isn't n sermon. 1t isn't even to
be a reproach. It's a chummy chat
with loyable kids who can be shown
how to do right by other methods
than the rod.
Your mothers and fathers have
tried to bring you up young gentle
men in every sense of the word. They
are teaching you now the things that
will later be the ballast of your life
boat. They teach you to learn the
things that later will fit you for the
various places you must fill in the
world They teach you to love and
respect the one above.
When you're around your home
you act like gentlemen because many
of you know that to act otherwise is
to firt with a hairbrush, vigorously
applied.
Many of you act like gentlemen
because you do 1t to show your par
ents that you respect their word and
