High Speed Is
All Right if
Cooling Is O K
But Danger Lies in Over
working an Engine
Look Out for Steam
By WILLIAM II. STEWART, Jr.

The man who speeds his motor 10 the
limit little realizes the danger involved.
If the cooling system proves equal TO
the extra work. we'll and good, but II
anything fails the engine is in danger
Of ruin. or course. this will not hap
pen without some preliminary symptom
Of trouble. The radiator viii steam,
slightly at first. but If this warning
signal is disreCardcd and the motor rs
| still forced ahead the cylinder walls
end piston rings viii score. causing loss
of compression and power
But this cannot continue long before
the piston seizes. the motor stalls and
cannot be cranked. If this happens
while the engine is being run at a
rapid rate the hy-wheel will try 70
continue its motion, but will be unable
10 free the piston. The result will be
TO twist the crank shaft out of true,
wreck few bearings and crack the
crank case. This is permanent in
jury which can only be remedied at
considerable expense. So do not disre-
gard the warning given you by the
radiator.
Occasionally an engine is overheated
without doing all the harm mentioned
above. In that case IL develops pc
culiar knock. This is caused by the
piston and parts of the cylinder becom-
ing red hot and so pre-igniting the
charge of gasolene vapor in the cylin-
ders. As this explosion starts before
the piston reaches top dead centre, 1t
has tendency to reverse the direction
of the piston, causing a knock. On
hearing this the careful motorist re-
tards the spark to see if it is caused
by having the spark too far advanced.
If the knock continues. he opens the
switch, but the engine keeps on run
ming. 1t is running by self-ignition;
that is, the overheated parts fire the
charge without the electric system.
This is a perplexing problem when it
first occurs, but under the circum-
stances throw out the clutch, place
gears in high speed, apply foot brake,
then engage the clutch. This stalls the
engine. 1t will also help if spark is
retarded and throttle closed. SO heed
the warning given you by steam from
radiator and favor the motor until the
steaming has stopped.

pl AIMING TRAFFIC DEVEL OPMENT IN BROOKLYN.

Avenue is already congcsted with troll
ley and truck traffic.
Broadway, in Woodhavcn, from Rock
away Road to Jamaica, used to be the
main outlet from the city TO Long ISL
and, but it is almost useless now
through deterioration.
An effort will be made TO have the
city complete the plans advocated some
time ago By the Brooklyn League and
other civic bodies for the extension OF
the Eastern Parkway through the
southern section of Brownsville. along
Newport or lTegeman avenue and then
back to Forest Park via Eldert's Lane
and the conduit road.
The widening of Fulton Street be
tween Flatbush Avenue and Ashland
Place, so as to afford better traffic ia
cilities and a more useful utilization
of the Manhattan Bridge approach, will
come in for attention.

Ocean Avenue, in Sheepshead Bay, as
the only connecting road, has been
much congested and almost impossible
for ten years, and that, too, will re-

One of the important features to be
taken up is the improvement of Kings

Coney Island. Flatbush, Bay Ridge and
East New York and Long Island. The
road is in fairly good shape from
Ocean Boulevard to Flatbush Avenue.
From there to East New York it has

Another spark pug device is an
auxiliary air valve spark plug, which
carries special features. An automatic
auxiliary air valve is fitted in the side
OF the spark plug. which automatically
opens and closes with the working of
the engine. Through a graduated in
let hole in the air valve cage air is
drawn on the intake stroke of the
motor, through the spark plug body
into the combustion chamber, this air
inlet being opened and closed by a
lever attached to the valve cage.
In installing a set of these spark
plugs in a motor, the levers rcgulat-
ing the air are connected up with the
gasolene throttle and auxiliator, and
are automatically controlled in this
way, according to the gas supply and
speed Of the engine.
II is claimed for this spark plug that
it insures perfect ignition, due to the
fact that the suction of air through the
spark plug chamber keeps the passage
and porcelain absolutely clear of all
short circuiting substances, and admits
just the proper amount of air through
the spark plug chamber TO form a per.
feet mixture of gas, thereby not only
increasing the power and efficiency of
the motor. but at the same time show
ing large saving in gasolenc consump-
ton.
The equipment is furnished complete
with each set Of these plugs. with full
instructions for installing, so that this
service can be placed on any make OF
automobile.

Alan W. Graves. of Baltimore, write
thus to The Tribune;
| recall reading not many
months ago that the road Tor auto
mobiles from Washington TO Ken
mond. Va. was in fairly good con
dition, or that it would be entirely
completed by May l or earlier
On the strength OF this informa-
ton we drove our car through, or
al least we were pulled through,
and for the benefit of others VINO
contemplate the trip my advice IS
under no condition take the trip
until the road is entirely complet-
ed. We stuck in mud, with water
running up on the footboards ana
over the hubs of the wheels, i've
times and had to be pulled out by
mules. and for ten miles 1t was
necessary to hire man and pair
of mules to pull us through the
marshy road.
The car that we drove was SIX
cylinder Buick, the result Of which
we wrenched the front axle, lost
two pair of chains, also a rear tire,
on the rack, which we later gained
possession of. but all of which add
ed together makes me yell Never

creased the proportion of gasolene,
at the expense of kerosene: ana
doubtless still more eficlent
methods will produce a satisfac-
tory fuel from a still greater pro-
portion Of the crude oil.
If the demand should shift to
kerosene, the incentive for an I'M
proved method of manufacture
would be removed. and the kero-
sene would have to bear a much
greater proportion of the income 70
he derived from the crude oil.
Hence the low cost of kerosene is
due solely to its limited use.
Furthermore, the proper burning
of kerosene is function OF the
motor rather than of the carbure-
tor. To atomiZe kerosene Is no
more difficult than to atomic gaso-
lene. The heat required for va
norization would necessarily be
greater. and the capacity would
therefore be much less. Larger
motors would have to be provided
for a given power, because OF the
higher temperature. at whicn the
mixture enters the cylinders. I'm
less water is used with the kero-
sene. the liability for the collection
of carbon on the piston is much
greater.
Taken all together, the uses OF
kerosene on the automobile would
not be an unmixed blessing, but
the development of motors is going
on all the time and it may be pos
sible that some time in the near
future kerosene will become log
ical fuel, but that does not seem TO
be the case at present.
We do not know if this company
