Faulty Alignment of Wheels
II IL /.
Causes Excessive Tire Wear

, between hubs OF front and rear
wheels, on both sides OF car. Measure
front wheels directly in front of axle
by drawing steel tape measure from
the inside of felloe on one wheel to
the inside Of felloe on opposite wheel.
After noting the exact measurement
move the wheels one-third or one
fourth turn and repeat the operation
The same method OF measuring rear
wheels Will answer the purpose, ex-
cept that the measurements can De
more conveniently taken directly back
of the axle. II three or four meas
urements do not show variation OF
more than one-fOurth inch the wheels
are in good alignment. A difference
of one-eighths inch is allowable by
car manufacturers, but as general
thing, the wheels are seldom this far
out Of line, unless damaged
There is no specific general stand
ard for the Gambler or canting OF
front wheels outward at the top, but
the practice is to do this on most OF
the cars the purpose being to make
it easier to steer and turn curves to
better advantage than II the wheels
are perpendicular, as with the rear.
This Gambler Of the front wheels OF
different cars varies from oue-fourth
inch to one and one-eighth inches be-
tween inside felloe measurements. II
the wheels stand too far outward at
the top, there is apt to be some bind
ing effect at the axles-under this
condition the tires do not roll freely,
the strains to fabric are not equally
distributed and the rubber on the
outer side wall is more exposed to rut
wear.
Do not be confused, when taking
measurements, Il 1t Is found that the
front wheels are from one-fourth inch
to one-half inch wider than rear
Wheels-this has no real bearing on
the alignment.
Excessive wear to a tire tread does
not necessarily Indicate irregular
alignment of wheels. 1t may often be
traced to a loose or worn hub disk, a
bent axle, steering rod or knuckle. or
connecting rod either too long or too
short Other causes are loose bear
fngs and the tight adjustment OF one
or both brake drums. If clamping

OPERATION Of SPARK CONTROL
LEVER DIFFICULT To MASTER
Useful and Flexible Operating Part of Auto Needs
Careful Study to Get Best Results From the
Engine Lewis Tells When to Advance
and Retard the Spark.

, the piston is just reaching dead CEN
ter and is ready to begin its down
v ard journey.
ITO appreciate this later condition
It must be remembered that while
combustion may seem to be almost
instantaneous, IL. in reality. consists
Of burning process which consumes
certain brief amount of time. This
Is the secret OF the need Of changing
the time at which the spark shall
occur in relation to the stroke Of the
piston Thus a spark that is just
right FOR moderate engine speed win
be too late for high speed and en-
tirely too early for slow speed. In
the latter case, a knock or pound will
result from the fact that expansions
are trying to occur backwards, but
are carried over center by the stored
up momentum Of the flywheel and
the cars mechanism.
Retarded in Starting.
'Tn actual operation the spark lev
er should be fully retarded when
starting the motor, should be ad-
vanced about half way when the car
begins TO gather Roadway in low
gear. and may be kept there until the
car is in high gear. after which the
lever should be advanced to a point
just below where a knock occurs.
"On the average car the spark
lever may be fully adva need when
the speed gets up to So miles an
hour or above The spark lever may
be advanced quickly when the motor
is running under light load, but must
be pushed forward more slowly when
the car is heavily loaded. In climb
ing hills, the spark lever may be re-
tarded gradually as the car slows
down. When low gears are thrown
in the lever may generally be ad-
vanced again as the motor speeds
up.
This phase of spark control Will
be learned by degrees, as the driver
comes TO know his car better and
better.
zone OF the reasons Why It is bet
ter to advance the spark lever as far
as possible under any given set OF
conditions is that with ignition so oc-
curing. the engine runs cooler, and
the exhaust is turned into useful
work instead OF mere noise.
TT also allows the exhaust valve
to open more easily, and reduces wear
on the whole valve gear.
Tn the final analysis. every driver
must learn to manipulate the spark
lever for himself. Experiment and
experience are the final factors in
teaching the proper handling OF this
control: however, the suggestions and
hints offered herewith may prove use
ful in pointing out some obvious mis-
takes to avoid and some habits TO
acquire in the manipulation OF this
most flexible and useful control
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1917-06-09

THE actual number OF motorists
who understand thoroughly the
- operation Of the spark plug
lever TO the best advantage is small.
This phase OF motor car operation is
the most difficult for the neophite
motorist TO master, in the opinion
of r. E Lewis, the local Jordan sales
manager. The reason for Il. In Nj
LeHis's opinion, is that most begin
ners do not study the matter care
fully. They bring little common
sense TO hear on It
-iOnce II mastered, the spark control
lever is one Of the most useful and
flexible operating parts on the car,
says Mr. Lewis "To begin with, the
spark lever should never be in the
position known as dead center for
starting. When the spark is so
timed, there is always danger Of a
back kick, with q broken arm and
other unpleasant possibilities
THE dead cel'ter position is easily
determined on c. rs with battery igni-
1on- in this case, simply remove
one plug and lay It on any metal
part Of the car, without removing the
wire. Turn on the current and the
crank until the piston reaches its
highest position in the cylinder. Next,
manipulate the spark lever until the
sparks occur at the Plug Wnen the
position Of the lever in the quadrant
should be marked with a file. Now.
whenever you start, always see that
The spark lever is retarded past that
point
No Danger of Back Kick.
when the magnetic alone is en-
ployed, you may advance the spark
as far as YOU like. There is no dan
ger Of a back kick when starting
on the magnetic
''Of course, every motorist under
stands that moving the spark lever
merely changes the relative occur
renee Of the spark in relation to the
stroke Of the piston When the lever
IS advanced, the spark occurs sooner
that is to say, earlier in the stroke.
II the spark is early, It occurs before
the piston has reached the highest
point IN its stroke. II the spark is
late Il occurs after the piston has
passed the top Of its stroke and start
ed down again After the motor -
running the spark should be ad-
Tanced in proportion to the speed a.
which the engine is running, but this
does not mean in proportion to the
work the power plant Is doing. With
q fast running engine, It is obvious
that IL is necessary to begin tgniting
the gas before the piston reaches the
TOP Of its stroke in order to get the
combustion started IN time TO realize
the full force Of the explosion when

SPRING OR WINTER
 DECIDED TOMORROW
When Little Ground Hog Comes Out to Look for His ShadOW-Thllnder
 Storm Also Has Effect.

Tomorrow is Candlemass or "Ground Hog Day." last night a thunder storm lighteed the heavens and awoke the sleeping natives, and last week a ''Sun Dog was reported as seen in the skies. All of which portenGs-what? Tradition handed down from generation to generation explains that 'Ground Hog Day is the day on which the little ground hog creeps forth from his hole in the ground to take peep at the weather. If the davis such that he cannot see his shadow he declines to return to winter quarters, convinced that spring
 is near at hand. If, however, the day is bright and sunshiny and he sees his shadow he takes it to mean that
 winter is still present and he returns to his underground donicile for six weeks more.
 Old timers say that when the ground hog sees his shadow it is a sign to order more coal,Sto repair broken snow shovels and to build additions to the ice house. to say nothing of pay spring styles.
 Last nights thunder storm is re- ported as meaning various things. One old timer explains that a winter thunder storm means that winter is
 half gone. The general interpreta ton of this sign however, is that the ''bacl1bone of winter' is broken and an early spring may be expected Inasmuch as thunder storm was re- ported a month ago the doubly i'm pressive sign is now open for dis cussion and it would not be surprising to have number of contributed ar ticles received>at this office telling the why's and wherefores of these old time superstitions.
 The "sun dog seen a week ago is said to signify forty days of storm. Thus far the old belief is running almost true to form.

 of S G. Boardman of Hartford,
 doaler and garage proprietor. when
 stunned by Policeman Lamphcre, he
 explained, he was taking the truck to
 Torrington as a demonstration for
 irrespective buyer He supposed that
 # was all right as long as he was
 confirmed with Boardman's license
 markers, inasmuch as Boardman was acting as sales agent. Prosecutlns Attorney George w. Klett branded the procedure as an attempt to cheat the state hv non registry of the truck. Hvman Horwitz of 34 Hawkins s+ree+ ,appeared just after court ad- iourned and settled to actions relative to the non clearance of snow from sidewalks, on his property at West ! pear1 and Arch streets. He had been summoned to appear and when ne did not in court it was directed that 1 a policeman wait on him ana ponos l he sat, to assure his appearance to- morrow.
