Motoring Department, The News
Times-For some time 1 have been
a subscriber 70 your paper, and al
times read the above column. and
therefore, as matter OF Information
ask your answers to the following
questions
In a two year-old six-cylinder car
OF the $500 class. under what con-
ditions should it be necessary for all
six pistons to be replaced by new
ones2
Under what conditions should a
new regulator cut out assembled, be
required?
Thanking you in advance for the
publication Of a prompt reply, I am,
w. c..
When the cylinder walls of a mo-
tor become scored or worn 70 an ex-
tent that the piston rings on the
piston are unable 70 adjust them
selves 70 the clearance between the
piston and cylinder walls, thereby
permitting leakage Of compression,
IL will result in a corresponding de-
crease Of power. If the cylinders
during natural wear have remained
conceHtric il may be possible TO refit
new pistons and rings, but If the
finish of the cylinder walls has be-
come scored or worn unevenly il
viii probably be nee Hssary TO have
the cylinders rebOrtd before refit-
ting new pistons. Scoring of a cyl
inder may result from lack of lubri-
( cation running the motor when it
| is overheated, a broken piston ring,
or loose wrist pin. Even though
only one cylinder become scored il
, is usually necessary 10 rebOre all the
cylinders, and replace all new pis-
tons to maintain balance.
The regulator cut-out increases
the resistance Of a generators field
windings in proportion TO the in
crease in speed. thus maintaining
regulator is employed. whether of
I the constant potential, or constant
current type, the points may be re-
set until the limit OF adjustment has
been reached. When the regulator
/ has become damaged TO an extent
! that the cost of repairing will offset
the cost of a new regulator. then it
may be well to have new regula-
tor attached.

the difference between a spark knock
and a carbon knock and how / may

r. X
The difference between a spark
knock and a carbon knock some
times may be distinguished by re-
tarding the spark lever and il the
knock stops il indicates a spark
knock caused by too early an igni-
ton. If upon retarding the lever
the knock does not stop it probably
is a carbon knock caused by pre-
ignition.

Motoring Department. The News
Times-During the last week my
car has developed a trouble which
I would like you to explain. From
the exhaust a white smoke contin-
ually blow out and il increases
whenever the motor is raced Would
would mind letting me know what
you think is the cause?
c. w.
The smoke coming from the ex-
baust is caused by burning oil. AS
the trouble is a recent development
it may be either that the oil in the
crankcase is too high, or that the
grade of oil used is too thin for your
motor.

HOW WE LEARN

1t is as annoying for a news.
paper man to hear somebody say:
II never read the papers, as it
would be for a shoe man to hear
the statement: Il never wear
shoes" The shoe man would
look at the speakers feet, and
seeing shoes, would feel annoyed.
The newspaper man talks with
the boaster and hears him make
use of information that any one
would know came from nowhere
but the newspapers. Is that not
annoying?
Where does information come
from? Do you see many men
putting their evenings into read
ing the magazines, quietly by the
fireside. the year around? And
what percentage of news do the
magazines cover? Do you, rarer
still, see many men gather regu-
larly anywhere for discussions on
current topics? How is it then
that a man who doesn't know
from day to day the chef items
of news is looked upon with
shocked surprise and is avoided
as a conversationalist?
Another sort of brag. that tells
a tale is the old statement that
newspapers always get things
twisted" Now the man WI O
says such a thing is throwing
dust. The newspapers furnish
the bulk of every mans informa-
ton on what happens-will this
fellow then claim to be an excep-
ton in getting things straight?
Where does he get the straight
goods? Are there any private
wells of true information known
only to him?
There are some facts in the
matter known principally to news
gatherers. Here are few:
/. If a man gets sore" on
newspapers because they go after
some of his friends, or fail to
mention him when he has done
some ordinary good deed, or mis-
spell his name, or reveal unhappy
features of his business, he then
commences a sort of boycott on
news he don't like-loudly be-
rating the newspaper. But he
still reads-for he must learn.
2. Most every man gets men
toned in print once in a while
during his life. If a mistake is
made in one of these rare "men-
tons" he takes it out on the
paper by branding everything
else as probably mistaken. Yet
he reads-for he must know what
is said.
8. 1t is hard to get the whole
story" out of a person concerned
in some news item. He has to
be almost pumped" even when
he desires to tell all about it. He
is so full of the subject he un-
consciously withholds some of
the most fundamental parts of
the story. But he takes it for
granted the newspaper will get
it ri yht.
a. Most of this talk against
newspapers is mere bunk. There
are few men with souls so dead

FISH DUCKS GET
MANY TROUT
Fishermen Would Have Law
Passed Making Legal Their
Killing

In spite Of the fact that this is the
closed season for brook trout, local
sportsmen are firm in declaring that
more are being caught now than at any
other time during the year. The fish
duck that is frequenting the unfrozen
streams stands accused Of this felony.
A dozen varieties of duck, among
which are the great saw-bills, golden
eyes and whistlers, breed and make
their home in this region during the
entire year. When the lakes and bays
freeze in the winter the immense
flocks move inland onto the rivers and
creeks. Here they feed on the fish and
such other refuse as comes to them.
The supply Of food is very limited
and the ducks have to fall back upon
their natural food, the fish. II is sur
prising to see what large fish the small
ducks can do away with. Recently one
of the maurauders became entangled
and beat itself to death near power
plant on fhe Boardman river. The
employees at the plant noticed it and
cut it open, finding three brook trout
that weighed nearly two pounds.
The sportsmen are unanimous in say
ing that law should be framed making
it legal to kill fish ducks at all times of
the year. They are valueless as food
and only destroy the thousands of trout
fry that local organizations are instru-
mental in planting each year. 1t is
probable that such law will soon be
sent to Lansing for introduction.-

It's a Fact

The publisher of an exchange whose
patience have been taxed beyond en-
durance recently printed the following:
II certainly beats the devil how the
average citizen will lie about a sub
scription to newspaper. Unless you
have had experience in the newspaper
business you would not believe how
downright rotten dishonest some peo-
pie who otherwise pride themselve.
on their integrity, will become. II
would make the readers of this paper
stand aghast il we should relate some
incidents of people telling falsehood
about their accounts with this office. A
few Of them get away with it because
we would rather lose dollar than en-.
gage in brawl or be arrested for in,
clicting corporal punishment
Many Of our exchanges the last few
weeks have contained strong hints fol-
delinquent subscribers to come In .anc
pay their subscription. That's all righ
boys, to dun your subscribers, but we
are not going to fall into your ways.
