In descending a long hill! should one
use both the foot and emergency brake
or just the foot Erake7
In descending a hill the driver usual
ly coasts. controlling the speed of tho
car by the service brakes. 1t is good
practice to equaliZe the wear on each
brake. The service brake is the one
most used, therefore when opportunity
offers it would seem advisable to use
the emergency brake. The term emer-
gency does not specifically apply to
cases of emergency, but is rather an
extra set of brakes for use should the
service brake fail to act at any time.
The driver must exercise judgment in
the use Of his brakes and should keep
both in equally good condition. The
main objection to using the emergency
brake in coasting is that when IT is set
there is no great amount Of elasticity
to 1t. In going down a hill with the
emergency brakes set one often en-
counters water ridges, which are apt
TO snap the brake rods If set too tight
When a car hits these ridges there Is
more or less elongation, which causes
the additional strain.

! am troubled with pounding in the
second cylinder of my car. have
frightened the connecting rod bearings
so tightly several times that it is east
iy felt while cranking the machine.
After having run four or i've hundred
miles the knock reappenrs. The ma
chine has been run 3,7J0 miles in all.
Can you tell me what causes this troy
ble2
The most probable cause of the knock
YOU mention is a loose bearing. This
may be main connecting rod wrist
pin or cam shaft bearing. 1t might
also be caused by broken piston ring,
the cam shaft being out of alignment,
or If the knock is not very severe il
may be the result of carbon on a valve
seat. As it is most probable that it is
in the crank shaft bearings, these
should be inspected and, IL necessary,
carefully taken UP, or If they are badly
scored they may need to be scraped, or
In an extreme case they win require
replacing. In taking UP the bearings
great care should be exercised not to
get them too tight, and il should be
noted that it is quite possible that the
reason your machine begins to knock
gain after going four or five hundred
miles after the bearings hive been ad-
justed too tightly. When q bearing is
too tight excessive friction is the re-
suit, and Overheating occurs. This
wears the bearing away in very short
time, and in some cases may even melt
the metal. The bearing should be only
taken up enough to remove all play.
1t would hardly seem possible that
the bearings should need scraping after
the car has gone such a short distance,
but IL they have been adjusted too
tightly it may be that they are badly
scored and, if this is the case, scraping
win be necessary. This operation
should be left to the care of an expert
enced and skillful mechanic and is not
a job for the novice.

Is there any way of adjusting the
generator after the battery is taken out
of car, as ! have heard that if some
thing is not done to the generator after
the battery is disconnected It will burn
out the generator?
There is no way of adjusting the gen.
orator, or, in fact, any of the electrical
equipment. to give satisfactory opera
ton with the battery removed. II your
car has distributor ignition system
you cannot run it without a battery.
If it has a magnetic which Is a sepa-
rate unit from the starting and light
ing system the only safe way to oper-
ate the car. if the battery is removed,
is to disconnect the generator entirely
so it win not operate.
If the generator is allowed to run
without having a battery connected
into which the current generated may
be put the voltage win build up at high
motor speeds, with the possible and
very probable result that the armature
windings will burn out.

When ! advance the throttle with a
pull on the engine my car gives a Jump
as though the clutch slips and takes
hold at once. What 10 the troubIe7
Your supposition that the action of
your car is due to clutch slippage is
correct to a certain degree. The clutch
does not slip out OF engagement, the
trouble being that its surface has be
come worn so that the frictional re-
sistance IS not sufficient TO hold the
load. If your clutch is a leather faced
cone type the leather has probably be-
come dry, assuming a hard glaze from
constant Slipping, which prevents il
from taking hold as it should. If this
trouble has only started to develop you
may save the leather by soaking it
with neatsfOot or castor oil, which will
soften it and enable it to engage easily
and firmly. II. Reviewer, the slipping has
been going OH for a considerable time
and the leather Is badly worn the only
thing to do is to replace this facing.
Often with cone clutches the copper
heads OF the rlvets project through the
leather, bearing against the iron fly
wheel and causing a slipping action.
If your clutch is cone you should see
that the rivets are properly counter
sunk into the leather surface OF the
facing to prevent this.
IL your clutch is disk type running
in oil the slipping may be due to grease
between the plates. The plates should
be cleaned with kerosene usually Do1r,
ed through the cover plate while the
motor is run for time with the gears
in neutral. This will wash the grease
out, the Kerosene then being drained
off and the lubricant renewed.
Where the disk clutch is housed with
the gear box. heavy grease should not
be placed in the gears, as this viii
work its way between the plates of the
clutch, causing slipping.

What per cent of the gasoline that
goes into a cylinder is burned and what
per cent is wasted? have been told
that % per cent is burned. Is this cor
rect?
The percentage of the gasoline which
is burned is far higher than you have
been told but it varies to such de-
gree, depending on the design of the
motor, the carburetor adjustment and
many other reasons, that a definite Or
even a fairly approximate figure can
not be given. Probably what the party
tried to convey to you was that about
% per cent of the energy in the fuel
went to the rear wheels. This is true.
The energy from gasoline is in the
form of heat. and very close to IS per
cent of the heat is lost through radia
ton, etc.

My car has pressure gauge system
for oil. If the motor base gauge shows
nearly full the oil pressure gauge nee
die registers the pressure. If half full
this pressure gauge does not register.
Does this mean that the oil does not
circulate, or does it circulate INSULT.
GENTLY to regster7
When the pressure indicator does not
register the oil system is not operating.
The gauge in the oil reservoir should
never be allowed to show as low as
one-half or one-quarter full Oil should
be kept up TO between tbree-quarters
and full at all times. 1t is advisable
any time the pressure gauge does not
register pressure when the motor is
accelerated that the condition causing
the same be corrected.

What is the cause of gasoline run
ming out of the bottom of my carburet-
or just as soon as the motor stops?
The probable cause of the gasoline
running out is that the heavy fuel
which is in the manifold condenses
after the car has stopped running and
will run back into the carburetor and
drip out BY putting a full hot air at
tachment on the motor so that all the
air is heated by passing through muf
surrounding the exhaust manifold. the
dripping will probably be stopped. 1t
is not a serious trouble, however, and
if your motor runs well the change
would not do other than perhaps give
you slightly greater fuel economy.

would like to replace my five pas
senser body with sever. Will the ex-
ira overhang on the rear aka hurt the
motor?
The extra load viii not harm the mo-
tor if the latter is not allowed to labor
ON high gear. When IL is evident that
the car cannot climb certain hin Oh
high gear rather than force it up q
shift to second should be made. The
same applies when running on second
gear and low gear is required. There
is more danger of hurting the springs
or wearing out the tires Possibly 1t
will be necessary to substitute sitter
springs. Unless the tires are amply
large for the weight they are now car
rying overslzes should be put on at
least on the pear, where the greater
load is.

have a considerable amount of Iu-
brieatina oil that has been in the case
but a short time. Owing to the oil get
ting past the piston rings, causing the
motor to smoke, the remaining oil be-
comes dark and smells of smoke. Is
there any way in which ! could clean
this and make il fit to use, as | have
changed rings and expect no more
smoke from the motor?
Probably this oil is not so bad but
that 1t IS still good for several hun
dred miles of running. Oil becomes
dirty very shortly after 1t is put in the
motor, and the fact that it is now black
Is no indication that it is not a good
lubricant.
According to some engineers, it is
possible to clean oil that has been used
for some time so that the oil is practi-
cally as good as new, but there are
others who question whether this real
ly can be done, and Furthermore it is a
great deal OF trouble to renovate the
oil.

A FLORIDA MAN TO END THE
GREAT WORLD WAR

Mr.. Otis F. Landers, former Ocala
boy, and whose parents still reside
here, writes as follows to the Tampa
Times:
"If the ambition of young Orlando
citizen is realized the great world war
will be a matter of history by New
Years, Orlando will be on the map by
a large majority and one of her citi-
zens will be one of the most famous
men in the world, rivaling Edison.
our president and Kaiser Bill
This young man claims to have
perfected the plans for a machine
with which he can enter harbOr pro-
tected by submarine nets, dodge both
floating and stationary mines. APP
proach a fleet of vessels or subma-
rines, attach a bomb to the bottom of
as many as SO at one trip. escape
from the harbor back to a waiting
submarine, and leave the bombs to do
the work of destruction, they being
so constructed that the entire number
placed will explode simultaneously.
The inventor claims for his machine
that with it he can enter the best pro-
tected harbor in the world, no matter
how we'll guarded it may be. that he
can attach the bombs to the most vul-
nerable part of the ship. and never
leave a wake, as do submarines and
torpedoes.
Whether or not the plan will work
remains to be seen. but the inventor
is enthusiastic, and has entered nego-
tiations with the British government
for trial of his machine He is max
ing active preparations 70 leave Or
lando about the 18th of June for Eng
land and expects to give a demonstra-
ton of his machine as soon as ar
rangements can be completed with
