He will probably be called TO the
front at an early date. This is a new
concern which has only been estab-
lished in the last few weeks. They
are handling two makes of automo-
biles here. The question is what will
become of the agency in case Mr..
Henderson is called to the front.
Mr.. A. L. Crumley, general mana

goes to the Barry Motor Company as
general manager. Mr.. Favorite will
probably take up his new duties early
this week. The Barry Motor Com

of the Hupmobile. The d. b. Gish
Company formerly handled that car
in Washington.

The Ungerer Motor Company are
selling Velie trucks to the United
States government.
The Buick Company are introduc-
ing their 1918 seven-passenger touring
car, which makes a very fine ap-
pearance.
Mr.. Ungerer, of the Ungerer Motor
Company, is firmly convinced that it
is only a question OF time until all
high class automobiles manufactured
in this country will adopt the mag
netic gear shift as used by the Pre-

durability express the operation OF
this gear shift.

TOPRODUCE new CAR
Automobile Men Interested in Ru-
NOR Recently Started.

The purchase of the Jeffrey fac
tory by C. w. Nash last August i'm
mediately gave rise to persistent
rumors that the Nash Motors Com
pany would undoubtedly bring out
new Nash car which would reflect
the ideals of Mr.. Nash and his or
ganiZation of automobile experts.
Recent developments at Kenosha
have combined to- verify the truth
of that rumor and it is now an open
secret that a new Nash car has
been designed and built, and that
its specifications and price will soon
be announced to the general public.
1t is known that a convention of
thirty Nash distributors. who will
be responsible for Nash motors
wholesale distribution throughout
the coming year was recently held
at the Nash plant, and that the dele
gates were shown the new car. But
so far the buying public has been
kept in the dark in regard to the
new product although it is prac-
tically certain that the veil of mys-
terry is to be swept aside within
the very near future.
Many guesses have been attempt
ed by those who have made a study
Of the industry. as to the type of
car. number of cylinders and the
probable price. But a mere resume
of Mr.. Nash's career will show that
he has directed the manufacture of
cars in all price classes, ranging
from the Iow-priced four to the
most expensive eight This shows
the fallacy of any attempt to
prOphesy correctly just what the
new car will be. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, that this car will
sell at well under two thousand dol
lars. II is, of course. an adver-
tised fact that the 671 Jeffrey model
will be continued as the 7-passenger
car of the Nash line probably bear
ing the Nash name plate

AUTOMOBILE
SECTION
REMOVING THE CAUSES OF
ENGINE AND CHASSIS NOISES

Noisy operation is the bette noir of
the careful motor car owner. Abb
solute silence is impossible to be at
tained in any piece of machinery,
especially in a vehicle traversing the
roads under its own power. However,
1t is possible to achieve a reasonable
freedom from loud noise by a little
intelligent understanding and care.
The engine is the seat of the greater
part of the really offensive noises that
sometimes beset the modern auto
mobile. The commonest noises aris-
ing from the engine are valve clicks
and slaps. These may be distinguish
ed by the regular rythm of their re-
currence. The cause may be too great
a clearance between the valve stem
and the tappet. or in the case of
overhead valves, the clearance be-
tween the litter and the push rod
may be to blame.
The remedy for this condition is
the reduction of the clearance and
this adjustment should be made while
the engine is hot. This is necessary
because of the expansion of metal
when heated, in which condition the
valves operate. If adjustments were
made when the metal was cold, they
would not be correct after the parts
and become heated with running.
Occasionally, however, clicking in
the valve mechanism is caused by
litter being loose in its guide. To
locate this trouble the litter assem-
bly, will have to be removed and in
the main a worn litter must be re-
placed. Certain designs of guides are
such that the guide may be sprung
slightly, so that it will grip the litter
tighter. remedying the trouble.
Cam also Causes Trouble.
Another location for trouble of
this kind is at the cam. between which
and its follower there may be too
much clearance. Fitting new fol-
lowers usually has a beneficial eff
feet here. Worn valve stems or
guides will produce noise. Removal
of the springs will enable condi-
tiOns at this point to be determined.
There should be no play of the stem
sideways in its guide and if investi-
cation discloses play, a bushing
should be fitted to the guide or else
a valve with an oversize stem must
be installed.
The valve mechanism In an over
head valve system normally devel-
ops more noise than does an ordi-
nary L-head engines valIes. Syste-
matte and adequate lubri .ation will
do much to minimize noise here.
Occasionally side-play develops in
the rocker arms with a slap as the
result. A worn arm bearing will
make trouble. which may be cured
by fitting an oversize bushing in
the rocker arm.
While the valves are the common
est locations of undue noise, they
are not at all the sole seats OF
trouble in the engine. The bearing
in most engines are made of soft
metal, which must be kept cOpious.
ly fabricated or it burns, becomes
fiattened and a knock results. The
ordinary remedy for this trouble is
to take up the play by removing
the SHIN between the two halves of
the part or else by trimming the
metal on the nova BILE part Care must

tlon to see that the bearing touches
the shaft all around, without being
too tight.
Fit Bearings Carefully.
In fitting bearings the utmost care
must be taken to advoid throwing
the shaft out of alignment and this
condition is particularly likely to oc-
cur when one bearing is fitted with
reference to the others. In unit
power plant construction il the
shaft is thrown out OF alignment,
one Of the gears in the transmission
is sure to bind with the result that
noisy gear operation ensues.
Another source of bearing knock is
the fianges of the crankshaft bearings,
which are flattened by crankshaft
thrust. In this case it does not pay
to try to fix the old bearing fianges.
1t Is better to get new bearing.
Play frequently develops in the up
per rod bearing and very often the
motor car owner blames the lower rod
or crankshaft bearing for the trouble.
On many of the cheaper cars there is
no bushing at the top of the rod. while
in some others a bronze bushing will
be installed to take up the wear. When
there is no bushing. new piston pin
will have to be fitted, or if the piston
boxes are worn eccentric ID may mean
new piston or the installat ton of a
bushing,
When the piston or cylinder Is worn,
it results in a knock that is much like
the sound that comes from preingi-
ton. If this trouble is not severe it
may be cured by fitting new piston
rings. On the other hand a severe
case may call for the installation of a
complete new set of pistOns. When
the cylinder block has worn in a
slightly oval shape. it may be rebored
and fitted with oversize pistons, which
makes it practically new block.
Noises Difficult to Cure.
Timing gear or chain noises are diff
fiCult to cure. In certain makes of
silent chains an adjustment is pro-
vided to take up slack, but where no
such provision is made the chain must
be shortened by taking out a link or
else a new chain must be installed
If chain noise becomes chronic, the
car owner will do well to consult a
service station, where an idler may
be installed to take up slack.
One of the commonest of all knocks
is that due to preignition. This may
be caused by carbon. too great an
advance of the spark, poor timing
overheating, overlooking of the engine
and incorrect mixture and the greatest
of these is carbon. In every case the
charge eXplodes too soon. not giving
the piston time to reach the top of its
journey and the result is that it is
thrust against the side of the cylinder,
producing a knock. The only way to
cure this noise is to determine the
cause by process of elimination and
then do away with the cause.
Transmission noises are not at all
uncommon. When one of the shafts
is thrown out of alignment by reason
of worn bearing or a binding gear.
noise is bound to result. Sometimes
the transmission case itself is out of
true, so that both shafts are thrown
out of alignment. Very often a gear
will be broken because of shaft mis-
alignment and the owner has a new
one installed. This, however, does not
cure the cause of the breakage, which

One of the latest to add his un-

Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In letter
dated August Is, 1917, he says:
1T affords me pleasure to report
that have taken Martins Liver

Martins Liver Medicine is strictly
vegetable IN ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to

guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle

The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Franc.s MarshaII-

old ones grow old new ones can be
bought.
In all large kitchens the cook has
a table directly opposite the stove.
On this table he keeps the food that
he is to cook and the various imple-
ments that he may need in his
work. For his use there are also
rolling racks on which dishes may
be kept. The dishes that he is
through with he can place on these
racks and have them rolled over to
the sink, where they are TO be wash
ed.
Doesn't this give a good idea TO
the housewife?
In the newest housefurnishing
shops you can buy racks on wheels
for just this purpose. If you can't
get just what you want there you
can get them from an institutional
or hospital supply concern. When
not in use near the stove or the sink
such a rack can be pushed against
the wall.
From the large hotel kitchen also
comes the idea of having dishes,
spoons. ladies. etc. hung on racks
by the side of the stove within easy
reach of the one who cooks. Can
you imagine the busy professional
cook having to rush TO the pantry
every time he wanted TO get a ladle,
spoon or clean saucepan?
