MECHANISM OF THE COMPRESS
SION RELEASE.
n. A. b. asks: What Is the prin-
ciple of the Compression release
that is found on some large truck
motors?
Answer: It usually consists Of
means for temporarily changing the
timing OF the exhaust-vaives SO that
they are held open not only during
the regular exhaust period. but dur
ing part Of the compression stroke.
This permits the escape OF . part OF
the charge, which would otherwise
be compressed. reducing the COM
preston pressure and permitting ths
engine to be cranked with less effort.

Deep Fat Frying.

Many young housekeepers are afraid
to attempt deep fat frying because
they either share the common belief
that fried food Is indigestible or they
find 1t dimcult to get uniformly perfect
results and hesitate to serve poorly
formed croquettes or imperfectly cook
ed d0ughnuts. As a matter Of fact,
perfectly fried foods are seldom indi-
gestible, because they have not been
allowed to soak fat" When the fat
Is hot enough to form crust over the
outside Of the food Immediately, the
fat particles do not permeate the
starchy interior. and fried food can
easily be digested by any ordinarily
healthy adult.
