EXPERT ADVICE FOR THE AUTO
OWNERS

Why do We prehsat fuel? 10 this
step necessary with present day saso-
liner
The only reason for ~preheating fuel
Is to thoroughly vaporize It In other
words, for a given volume and a given
mixture a great amount Of heat units
will be contained In the cooler charge
provided that both are completely va
porized. The reason for this Is that the
heat expands the charge, thereby per
hitting a smaller number Of units OF
discharge to be contained In a given
volume. The fact that some OF the heat
units which would ordinarily be lost
are returned to actual use by preheat-
Ing the charge Is a factor in the situa.
ton and does reduce the difference be
tween the two conditions. but 1t Is
doubtful If as many heat units would
be given up In this manner as would
be lost by having a p%reheated charge.
The practical side OF the question.
however, is one which must be looked
upon. With the gasoline that we are

There 10 an irregular miss in my mo-
tor which is particularly noticeable at
high speed. What may be the trouble
The causes Of an irregular miss at
high speed are myriad. A sticking
valve or a weak valve spring may pro-
duce this trouble. If SO the former can
be found by inspection. and the rem
edy Is some oil on the valve stem un-

when this Is done the valve spring Is
weak and should be replaced. The ac-
ton of the screwdriver between the
coils Of the spring Is to increase its
compression strength.
Sooted spark plugs. loose connections,
spark plug points too near together,
improper contact Of the distributor
brushes due to weak springs or worn
brushes. breaker points too near to-
gether, leakage Of current due to worn

Of irregular firing that may be pro

caused by the sticking Of the loat or

What are the various types Of axle
suspensions and drives used7
There are only two ways Of attaching
an axle. one being above and the other
beneath the springs. Both are very
common practice In America and are
used In various combinations with DIFF.
ferent methods Of drive. For instance
In the Hotchkiss system Of drive. where
all the drive and torQue are taken
through the springs. 1t Is practically
universal practice to mount the axle
under the springs, and in the various
notifications Of the Hotchkiss drive,
where supplementary torQue stays, etc.
are used. the axle Is generally over the
spring. On cars where the tOrque and

Encouraged by Rumor.
LA TOILETTE PLAN UP NOW

Further encouragement was given to-
day to the group of senators who are
engineering deeper inroads into large
incomes and war profits, through
amendments to the revenue bill, by in
timations brought to the Capitol that
the White House is inclined to view
with equanimity the increased rates.
The impression got abroad that Pres
ident Wilson is not at all adverse to
the policy which has received such
strenuous advocacy in the Senate this
week. of taking larger slices out of
great incomes and the profits of GER
tain lines of business fostered by the
war
The rate holsters in the Senate were
delighted beyond their hopes with
their initial success yesterday in the
adoption of the Gerry amendment and
the restoration of the Lenroot income
rates. The fact that the Gerry amend
ment did not encounter one negative
vote is thought to have encouraged
sentiment for further increases.

account of the disastrous fire at Saloniki

$4,000 persons are homeless and that the
property loss is enormous. Insurance
companies are interested to the extent of
e2. 1000, 900 to $4,000. 900.
The military rendered all possible aid,
but the scarcity of water made it almost
hopeless to attempt to subdue the flames.
Refugees are camping on the outskirts of
the town. The destitute are being cared
for by the entente military authorities, the
British having 10000 in their charge.
Food and fresh water are very scarce.
The whole sea front from the customs
house to the famous White Tower, with
its fine buildings. including the famous
Church of St pimitri and several other
churches and mosques, was DESTROYED.
Three enemy airplanes flew over the city
and dropped bombs while the fire was
