aluminium Pistons.

There seems to be some doubt among
car owners as to the circumstance I'M
der which it is advisable to fit alumni
UNI pistons. In general 1t may be said
that this type of piston gives excellent
service in a motor the bore of which is
not greater than three inches. In some
cases aluminium pistons have been fit
ted in motors with a slightly greater
bore than this, but where the bore is
above four inches it is not advisable to
make the experiment.

Stopping Leaks.

There are so many places about the
motor where leaks are likely to develop
that it will pay the car owner to 90
over the mechanism once in three
months with this in mind. Frequent of
Tenders are the spark plugs and prim-
ing cups. Pour q little oil around the
lower parts of these while the engine
is running. If there is a leak, bubbles
in the oil will betray it. Another vul.
nerable place for leakage is the valve
system. See whether the valve stems
push rods arc covered with oil; if they
are the stems or guides are probably
worn, or the push rods or their guides
may be to blame. The cylinder head is
liable to develop leakage, if the gasket
is not in good condition or the head
spring out of shape. Leakage at the in

IOWA WOMAN TELLS
ABOUT TWO AUTO TRIPS
By Mrs. F. Leavenworth- Huston
Clear Lake, Iowa.

'e91o am going to tell you something of
my trip from San Diego to Clear Lake,
Iowa, in my Maxwell car.
There Were four of us in the party
and we eamped out nights all the way.
the running board of the left hand side
of the car, the top of the box coming
up even with the top of the body of the
car and the front let down to form a
table.
Y We carried four folding army cots
and, we left the cushions of our car
home, and l made canvass covers just
the shape of our cushions and in those
we carried our bedding. 1t took us nine
teen days to make the trip, and we
rolled up 1869 miles, used 1873 gallons
of gasoline and 2 IL gallons of oil.
We found very bad roads in many
places, but our sturdy Maxwell never
refused to pull at any time.
We had dreadfully hot weather, and
lots of sand in the desert. We had been
passing and repassing five machines
from, California, and one night we camp
ed together. The next day we struck
a. long stretch of sand and two of the
other cars were stuck.
L pulled out around them and we
saw any of them again, so / am
.presuming they all had trouble in the
sand, but as the cars were all driver
by mel, I did not think they needed my
help q being a woman.
We had a very steep and narrow
grade in many places. Some grades were
20 per cent and lots of sharp turns.
Several were so sharp we could see
where large cars had scraped the banks.
We had a hundred miles of mud and
got caught in a hard rain and wind
blow. The water only boiled twice in

as the soldiers took their seats.
Photographers cluttered up the field
swapping every member of the club:
Even John McGraw was snapped in
lotion as he covered second base dur
ing the Giants batting practice.
George NJ. Conan was in a box root
ing for the Giants. At 1:49 the band
and the immense crowd of more than
&c 1000 men and women stood in silence.
At ESQ Sallee was working out alone
for the Giants with Cicotte loosening
up for the Sox.
Just before game time the crowd
was given what apparently was a lee
ure on the evolution OF the American
flag. just what the speaker said was
inaudible, but with the players group
ed about him, he displayed the various
flags Of the nation as they progressed
from that of the lone pine tree,
through that of the 10 original states
and on to the present.
A large printed pledge of allegiance
to the flag was then displayed, to
which the crowd subscribed vociferous-
~.
Umplres and managers conferred at
the plate as photographers snapped
them. McGraw and Rowland went
through the usual practice of shaking
hands. The Giants began light warm

Rear Axle Leaks.

Oil ON the brake bands is a not un-
common trouble, even in some modern
cars, and it Is caused by excess oil in
the differential housing, The excess oil
is forced through the axle tubes and ev-
entually gets to the brakes. This is true
of those axIes not fitted with special de-
vices to prevent leakage. On some axles
a small drain is fitted near the outer
end Of the tube, while in others the in
teriors 0 fthe shaft housings are fitted
with tubes which catch the oil before
it gets to the brakes. Be keeping the oil
level in the housing at the correct point
much of this leakage will be obviated.

got too hot to pull.
We had roads, too, that were so steep
and rocky that they were like climbing
stairs, only worse. we came over the
National Oil Trails road to Denver. We
drove into Grand Canyon and through
the petrified forest, and when we reach
ed Colorado Springs we went over to
Manitou to Pixies Peak. We found our
best roads in Colorado.
Two years ago we drove into the Yo-
semitic Valley, and l was the first wom-
an to drive in our out, we had lots of
50 per cent grades and for Al miles

This trip was made with the Max

Cleanliness.

When any part of the mechanism of
the car is removed, be sure that it is
perfectly clean before it is returned to
its place. Even such a comparatively
unimportant rart as a valve plug should
be thoroughly cleaned. A small piece Of
dirt on the plug gasket may be enough
to cause a serious leak. Clean every gas
ket before it it replaced. Paper, ashes
tos and other flexible types of gasket
usually have to be replaced after they
have once been taken out.
