SMOKING MOTOR USUALLY COSTS
MORE THAN FIRE IN YOUR CAR
It Is Caused Either by Too Much Fuel or Excessive Use
of Oil; Expert Tells How to Distinguish Between
Three Colors of Clouds and What Each Means
How to Overcome fabrication Troubles

IN the same way. when the engine Is
running slowly air passes through the
carbUretOr so slowly that the gasoline
is not broken uD into very fine parts.
consequently l. does not fully vaporize
and is very easily condensed. 1t forms
liquid gasoline in the intake pipe or
cylinder. This IS called loading up
and is responsible for black smoke
when the machine is started
One way Of overcoming this is TO sup
ply a larger amount OF heat than usual
to the mixing chamber. Most carbure-
tors are not designed to take care of
this condition, and the only remedy
would be to stop the engine instead Of
allowing II to run while standing at
the curb
To overcome smoke from the oil
which is drawn 10 past the piston. It is
customary to have groove turned in
the piston under the lower piston ring,
with five or six holes drilled in the
groove through the piston The piston
ring then scrapes the oil from the cyl
inder wall into the groove and back
into the crank case through the piston
walls This prevents il from working
up into the combustion chamber. Many
manufacturers do this on the very new
models and repair men do IT regularly
on old models ana new models Wnicn
do not have it,
Sometimes the oil level will be found
too high This may be corrected often
by lowering the oil troughs or by fill
ing off the dip on the bottom Of the
connecting rod so that il barely touches
the oil or touches it with a narrowed
surface.
Deposits of Carbon
In addition TO the smoke resulting
from TOO much gasoline or oil. there
is a large amount of carbon deposited ,
in the cylinder which takes up space in
the combustion chamber and raises the
compression so high that pre-ignition
occurs and the engine knocks. The car
must then be taken 10 a repair shop to /
have the carbon burned OF scraped out.
This is expensive work and besides the
car is laid up and one loses its use 3
while the scTaping IS being done The
owner will seen that he has been spend E
ing a lot Of money to supply gasoline 7
and oil that he didn't need to use just /

AiOKING exhaust comes from two
sources. burning too much gaso-
- line or using too much lubricating
OIL; usually the latter. Excessive use
OF gasoline comes from faulty carbure-
tor adjustment or poor design OF car
5uretor. or intake manifold. or keep
ing the engine cylinder at too low d
temperature, because Of the water be
ing too cold in the cooling system
In the latter case the carburetor may
vaporize the gasoline properly. but it
cOndenses in the cylinder and does not
burn well and the part which Is not
consumed passes off as black smoke,
which issues from the exhaust pipe.
We must have certain amount OF
oxygen to consume the gasoline en-
tirely. The size of the cylinder limits
the amount of air from which the oxy-
gen is takenl which may be taken in,
and if the carburetOr is adjusted to
feed too much gasoline there may not
be enough oxygen present to consume
il all Practically speaking, what il
not consumed forms carbon or smoke.
OversuPpIy OF Gasoline.
The obvious remedy is to supply heat
20 the ingOing air at the mixing cham
9er Of the carburetoT 50 that vapori-
zation will be complete. or adjust the
carburetor so that no more gasoline
will be fed 10 the engine than is re-
Quired for running. This latter. Of
course, is the economical thing to do.
A light blue smoke coming from the
exhaust pipe indicates too much lubri-
eating oil. This may be due to feeding
too much oil or TO running the engine
a great deal with the throttle nearly
closed In order TO draw a charge Of
gas into the cylinder the piston travels
partly out of the cylinder and forms a
vacuum With the throttle wide open
high vacuum is not obtained. because
q large amount Of gasoline and air is
allowed to come in and fill the cylinder
The engine is throttled down By clos
ing the throttle so that the air can
not get In in such a large quantity: {
consequently there is a decided vacuum
IN the cylinder on each intake stroke /
Of the piston. This vacuum has a ten
dency to draw oil " past the piston
into the combustion chamber. where il 4
burns and forms smoke. This is why /
when the machine is left at the curb !

TO make smoke and carbon and expense
and that he is out all around
Smoke should not be confused with
steam which issues from the exhaust
pipe in cold weather. One of the pro-
ducts of combustion in the gas engine
is water. a natural result Of the break
ing up of a hydro-carbon. This usually
passes off at a high temperature as an
invisible yapor. In cold weather il con-
denSes Immediately i strikes the air
and is visible in the form OF what we
call steam Really IL is a fog we create.
Therefore do not let the policeman
take you in for having a smoking en-
CINE when it IS only steam issuing from
the exhaust pipe. II he doesn't know
which il is you probably can convince
him by the color. II II IS white, II Is
steam: II Il is black, # IS gasoline
smoke, and IL II is light blue Il is the
smoke from the lubricatinz oil. There

many eyes watching you just now in

GROSS IGNORANCE

Under the caption Famine Dan- ger for Alaskans Seen the Chi cagO Daily News prints a story, lacking in facts and grossly misre- UresDnting Alaska, purported to hay come from 9 correspondent in Sew ard who styles himself us Thomas Draytou. The article has just been put into the hands Of the Alaskan, and because of the ridiculousness of the thing, several extracts, with comment are mentioned.
 The article under date of June Il, begins thus.
 If present weather conditions continue ten days longer Alaska will have the worst year in her his tory, and not only priyaiton, but actual hunger, will be experienced by many oE her citizens. (The weather mentioned must have been awful, but We are glad to say it probably has changed for We are still alive and have enough to eat.)
 should AIaska's crops fail entire Iy it will be difficult in all cases, and impossible il many cases to se- cure food from the states, and, of course, it is now out of the ques- tion to look to Canada for supplies. Supplies from the states require ready money, and comparatively few AIaskaus have much ready money, nearly all of it having been invest ed in improvements and new equil- ment." (Yes, MT. Drayton, now as always, We will not look to Can ada for our supplies, We never have and hope never to do so. And as for ready money, just look at our last income tax report.)
 The article goes on to say th2t it requires 60 days by letter or even by cable before a consignment of merchandise can be received from the states. CWe wonder if it took him 60 days to get to Seward, per haps he went on 8 raft.)
 All Alaska ships are under one management and it is said that a protest invariably secures for the protestant consignee a still worse service" CYes, all the steamship companies operating toI Alaska, and there are many, are under one management in the same sense that all of Europe is under one managemeDt.)
 "Condensed milk is the standard food Of possibly a majority of Alas ka babies, and it need occasion no surprise if specific instances Of actr- al starvation of Alaska babies are deeorded in these columns before the expiration Of another year" Of MT. Drayton or the Chicago Daily News actually believed the fore going statement they had done bet ter to secure the aid of the govern ment or the Red Cross for poor starving Alaska, rather than to sit back and formulate in their minds l stories about the northland.)
 From all of which the introduct- DIV conclusion is drawn that the year will be the worst in Alasxa's history in point of priva- ton end want unless weather eondi-

ARMY INSIGNIA


 insignia" is the term used to include all the badges, buttons, braids, hat cords, and other deyic- es which indicate these three things:
 l, The rank of each officer or soldier,
 2. His branch of the service or his special duties. |
 8. His personal experience or re- cord. An ordinary priYate's uniform car Tries no insignia of rank. When man becomes 8 first-class RriVate' however, in the Engineer Corps, Hos pital Corps, Ordnance Department Quartermaster Corps, or Signal Corps, he is entitled to wear on the sleeves of his coat and shirt the design of the department to which he belongs.
 4 lance corporal wears on hls sleeve an inverted Y-shaped bar. A corporal has two bars, and sergeant three bars. Below the sergeant s three V-shaped (inVerted) bars may appear a number of additional marks, indicating his duties.
 Above the noncommiSsioned offlc- CTS, rank is shown by various 1n- signia on the shoulder loops of coats, on the sleYes of coats and overcoats, on the collars of shiTtss and by hat cords. The most im- portant are those made Of metal and sewn on shoulder loops and shirt collars. A major general has two silver stars; a brigadier gen. eral, one silver sta, & colonel, & silver eagle; a lieutenant colonel, a silver oak leaf; a major a gold oak leaf; a captain, two silver bars; and a first lieutenant, ona silver bar. A second lieutenant has no shoulder insignia. You can readily tell the rank of any officer by glancing at these metal insignia.
 Every branch Of the service has its special color which appears on the hat cords of enlisted men, on the cheYrous Of noncommissiontE officers, and in many other places. These colors are: .
 Infantry, light blue.
 Cavalry, yellow.
 Artillery, scarlet.
 Ajutant generals, inspector gen. erals, and judge advocate gen. erals departments, dark blue.
 Engineer Corps, scarlet inter
 wined with white.
 Signal Corps, orange interwned
 with white. ..
 Medical DepaTtm ent, maroon.
 Quartermaster Corps, buff.
 Ordnance Department, black in-
 terwined with scarlet.
 By remembering these colors you will often be able easily to recog- nize men and troops. In addition to these coIors, every branch of the service has its own device with all of which you will soon become familiar.
