MOTORIST PROBLEM SOLVED
FOR NEWS TIMES READERS
BY VIM. H. STEWART, JR.


Motoring Department, The News
Tines have a No. 20 EMF car
which is giving me some trouble.
While descending q steep hill / can
hear a grinding or rather a growl-
ing sound in the transmission
somewhere. How often does it need
grease or oil? On level street the
engine runs nicely, but il will not
make much speed. On climbing a
hill il seems TO give out and when
1 stop for a few minutes il will pull
very well for a short distance, when
il requires the same rest TO make IL
pull. l cannot make speed any
where. though L opened the throt-
tie wide, and when / open it wide il
seems 10 choke and 1 lose all the
speed that / have. The carburetOr
is new and the valves are all right.
It is hard TO start when it has been
standing over night. 1t seems like
the engine will not or can not draw
the gasoline from the carburetor.
What attention does the clutch
need? I will appreciate any infor-
nation through the motor columns
of your paper. w. +. X.
The oil in the transmission case
should be kept up TO the bottom Of
the countershaft. If it leaks out il
should be replaced frequently. 1t
is possible that the carburetOr or
fuel pipe is INSTRUCTED so that it
cannot give enough fuel 10 the en-
CINE when il is needed. IL is usually
assr...
of the year The clutch should be
engaged gently Pour neatsfoot oil
on it once a month. If il slips have
il attended to- The grind in the
gears may be due TO the fact that
the shifter does not move the gears
far enough 10 clear them. If each
carburetOr chokes engine when
throttle is opened suddenly try adj
justing the auxiliary air valve.
Motoring Department. The News
Times-GD What good does a cut
out do a machine? CD What grade
OF oil is advisable TO use in winter,
light, medium. or heavy?
Cd We assume you mean a muf-
fler cut-out. 1t relieves the back
pressure due to the muller, giving
us three or four percent more pow
er for use on hills. In case muller
is clogged the gain is greater. IL
enables us to listen TO the sound of
the exhaust and so tell if any cyl
inder is missing explosions. It
warns us if muffler is clogged as the
car speeds up whenever the cut-out
is used, particularly on a hill. CD

Talk to the heavy-car owner a
few minutes.
Listen to his regrets that he
didn't Investigate weight before
deciding on a heavy car.
For one thing, had he investi-
gated the Franklin Car, he would
have traced Franklin popularity
far beyond today's clamor for a
lightweight car.

strength material, by relieving

Franklin Touring Car
AS Weight Standard

A touring car, weighing 2280
pounds; an enclosed car, the
Sedan, weighing 26I0 pounds.
To the experienced motorist,
these Franklin weights mean
more than mere figures.
On the road, they mean safety,
ability, comfort, and reliability.
In maintenance. they mean econ
omy in tires, gasoline, repairs,
and depreciation.
That ICeiehffigures tell you more
than price figures is something we
stand ready to demonstrate at
any time.

that size here. What do YOU think
about me having the grooves cut
larger, say, for IA or 3-S ring? Do
you think that would make il pull
better and lessen the slap of pis-
tons? Would II use more gas? 1
thank you in advance.
w. =. NJ
The grooves might be cut TO one
quarter inch. but certainly not any
larger The new rings would hold
the compression in the cylinders
better and so give more power,
provided the cylinders are not bad
~ worn out of round II Will not
prevent piston slap or use more gas
oline. but it will give you more pow
er. The best thing to do is 10 have
the cylinders reground and larger
pistons and rings fitted TO them.

Three Places to Watch.

Political regeneration must start in q
quickening of the civic conscience.
Men in larger numbers must begin to
take deepened interest in political
policies and programs. The three
places which should be kept in the
minds eye evermore are the city hall,
the state capitol and Washington city.
What the representatives of the people
are thinking and saying and doing
should be closely scrutinized and scru-
pulously judged. When our newspa-
pers pass out of the semi-barbaric stage
of newspaper development they will
devote less space to accident and gos-
sip and crime and lay before the pub
lie day by day in ampler fullness the
doings of our aldermen, our assembly
men and our congressmen.-Wom

New York City Garbage Disposal.


The method of garbage disposal in
New York city is as follows:
Garbage, placed in separate cans by
householders, is collected in city vehi-
cles and transported to dumps along
the water fronts of Manhattan, the
Bronx and Brooklyn, where it is plac-
ed upon contractors scows.
A filled scow is towed to a reduction
plant on Barren island, in Jamaica
bay. where the material is cooked, the
grease extracted and the tankage or
soiled matter dried. Grease is. sold
for soap making, etc., and tankage is
used as fertilizer. The moisture only
is wasted.
The contractors work begins at the
dumps, and for the privilege of receive
ing the 100000 tons Of garbage per
annum the contractor is obliged by
agreement to pay the city an average
sum of $97,O 900 per year for term Of
i've years.-New York Times.

Pirates and Steamships.

It was the advent OF the steamship
that finally gave the pirates their death
blow in Malaga. Every schoolboy
ought to know the story of the first
steamer off Borneo Some pirate ships
saw a steamer in the distance and, OBJ
serving the smoke from its tunnels,
thought the ship was on fire and there
fore helpless. They gave chase, but
they were amazed to see the strange
sea beast come up steadily against the
wind and vomit fire from its guns. 1t
was generally agreed in polite pirate
circles that the white man had played
a mean trick upon a successful and
honorable body Of traders.
