Probably your engine requires thor

equal compression in each cylinder by
grinding the valves 1t will be neces-
sary TO haveltham reground to fit over

the cylinders are perfectly round the
trouble might be reduced by fitting one
or two Of the special rings Of which
there are now so many on the market.
The trouble could also be caused by
dirt In the oiling system. Make sure
that this is quite clean. especially that
the oil returns from the crank case to
the oil reservoir are not cloGged. You
should wash out the whole crank case
very thoroughly with kerosene.
If you find that the pistons and cylin-
ders are in perfect condition have the
lubricating system absolutely clean and
still have not entirely cured your trou-
bic you could file the dips on the lower
ends of the connecting rods so that
while they win still dip into the oil as

What is the meaning Of backfire?

When the explosion takes place too
early while the piston is coming up on
the compression stroke it will reverse
the direction of rotation, blowing the
piston back again. This is called back.
fire. The same word is often used to
describe explosions In the muller,
caused by an unfred charge being
passed through the valve and down the
exhaust line where it is fired by the
next exhaust. This is not really a
backfire.

What is the easiest method Of loest-
ing rattles and squeaks en- new cart
havo oiled and ,tightened everything
that seems to need it, and still the trou-
bio persists.
A road test on rough road, with
one man driving and another watching
and listening, Is the common~method
OF locating rattles and squeaks This,
however, subjects the car to unneces.
sary abuse and is often inexpedient.
Many repair shops have bump
about six inches high In the floor, and
the rattle or squeak is located by run
ming the car back and forth over the
bump. squeaks may also be found by
having one man stand on the running
board and away the car while the other
listens. We would suggest that you
force the leaves Of the springs apart
and hibrieate them thoroughly With
graphite and grease.

Can you tell me what causes my car
to fly out of high gear while coasting
downsrade? The high gear will not re-
main in mesh while descending hills
with the clutch out. Many remedies
have been tried for this trouble, but all
havc failed. One local repairer put in
a now shifting rod in the transr,issicn,
but IL did not help. Can you suggest a
remedy?
The trouble would appear to be In
the alignment of the high speed gear,
since you have put a new shifting rod
in the transmission, which would elm.
mate the trouble in that direction If
properly installed.
When driving on high the strain on
the teeth keeps the gears In mesh. As
soon as this strain is reversed--as when
the clutch Is thrown out on hill--the
gear Is forced out of mesh.
1t is advised that you test the align
ment of the high speed gear pair by
careful measurement and inspection.
1t is very hard to effect repair If the
axis of the high speed gear is not paral-
lei to tile axis of its mate other than
by fitting a new high speed gear pair
to the transmission. -

Expert Advice For the
Automobile Owner
Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of
Importance to the Man Who Runs Car

My motor baokfires into the earhurO-
tor when running at extremely high
sPeeds. | know that is usually sign
Of weak mixture, but ! have tried diff
ferent adjustments of the carburetor
and cannot overcome the trouble. Can
you suggest something?
IL you are sure that the mixture is
rich enough to overcome backfring
at high speed there is possibility
that the springs on the intake valves
are weak. In other words, the valves
remain partly open during the COM
preston stroke, and when the spark
takes place they are still open. In
such case the gas in the combustion
chamber of the cylinder is ignited and
baclltires into the manifold and mix
ing chamber Of the carburetor.
Stronger springs on the intake valves
will in all probability remedy your
trouble.

viii you please tell me the best meth
cd of cleaning headlight refieetors?
Headlight refectors can be satisfac-
torily cleaned with pure soap and
warm water. The reAectors should
first be carefully wiped with a clean
channels to remove all grit, and soft
rag should be used to apply the soap
and water. The main thing is to keep
sand or grit away from the reflectors
when cleaning them, as scratched
surface will reduce the reflective
power.

. In starting car is IL best to speed up
the motor before letting in the clutch
or open the throttle as the clutch is
let in?
1t is most advisable to open the
throttle as the clutch is being engaged.
Judgment must be used to accelerate
the motor sufficiently in order to take
care of the load when the clutch is en-
gagged. otherwise the motor will stall.
If the motor is accelerated first and
then the clutch engaged the tendency
will be to start the car with jerk.

Rev. j. NJ. Lennon and his people
have done a good work here during
the campaign. In various ways the
church has been built up and
strengthened. On Sunday the SER

most hopeful outlook is the interest

although the campaign has been
closed the revival idea will still be
perpetuated in the regular meetings
