ROADSTER ADAPTED
TOFAM|LY SERVICE
Durability, Moderate Speed
and Economy Of Operation
Cited as Requisite.
HOW TO CREATE SPEEDSTER

The ordinary stock touring car or
roadster has certain very definite VIZ
tues and certain limitations, according
to experts. 1t is built to give reason
able economy of operation, to last long
under careful handling. and to de-
yelop a moderate turn of speed; IN
short, it is adapted to what we might
call general family service. The aver
age owner of such vehicle deslres
combination of virtues rather than
single outstanding characteristic de-
yeloped at the expense of the others
But there are certain conditions when
1t becomes desirable to increase the
speed of the car. The old family ark
may have descended to the eldest son.
who desires to turn 1t into a speedster,
fitting a snappy bucket-seated body In
place of the former carry ali. Inc
changes may be made largely by the
owner himself, though he may have
to call in machinist help for certain
alterations.
First Point of Attack.
The engine is the first point of at
tack in the attempt to inject more
speed into the car. As general thing
it is desirable to raise the compression
If the engine has a removable head
this part should be machined n few
thousandths OF an inch to make the
compression space smaller, or the cyl
inder block may be machined at the
bottom to bring 1t down slightly. An
other method Is to use pistons with
higher crowns or pistons of the same
type as before, but with the pins Just a
bit lower down.
In the search for speed 1t Is necessary
to use lighter reciprocating parts than
those generally fitted. Accurately fitted
aluminium pistons are a great help.
though cast iron ones are fair, il they
are lightened by drilling.
Directions for Drilling.
In drilling an iron piston put the hole
in the skirt and not too near the piston
pin. Two piston rings are enough for
this construction. and the clearances
for aluminium pistons are twice those
allowed for iron parts.
New connecting roads of tubular
steel or in the form of a machined l.
beam alloy steel are advisable.
though 1t is possible to lessen the
weight of this part by drilling the one
already in use, but this process weak
ems the rod.
The crank shaft is not usually both
cred, with. though 1t is possible to
have it drilled SO that oil from the
main bearings will feed the connecting
rod lower bearing. Unless 1t is pur-
posed to run the engine for more than
half an hour at maximum speed,
changes in the oiling system by drill
Ing the crankshaft are not essential.

THE DAY OF RUM0RS.

sleeping city far below!

SAD BUT RIGHT.

1t is a sad state Of affairs which
causes a great movement of a great
people to issue an order providing that
all men married since the declaration
of war are subject to their military
obligation the same as single men OF
the same age. But, the people made
it necessary for the government to
take this step.
In the larger cities it is a promin-
ent feature to show during the past
few weeks how many marriage lie
epses are being issued. 1t is strik-
ingly abnormal, and the pleas of the
recruiting officers meet with cold re-
spouse.
The married man who plighted his
troth in good faith need have no fears
and he is ready to serve his country
now as we'll as when single.

whom he can look after-anw not
