THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the second liberty loan is well on the way and will be another test of the sincerity of America in the war. The first loan was considered a great success; but was it the resronse of genuine patriotism or merely the result of sentiment. The benefit derived from the investment cannot be said to be an inducement. There must be something else behind-patriot- ism If that s lacking. the call for three billion will prove failure. But We know that it is not lacking Even though all other evidence would fail the ease and orderliness with which the National army is being organized is sufficient proof of patriotism. Let everybody buy bond and heln the country. Those who can afford to purchase a bond and do not are Slackers; pure and simple. There is no room for slackers in Ke.chikan We owe everything We have to our country Bearing that in mind may be par doned f We quote our friend C. H. G. when he said the other day
 Don't be the eur in the story; don't bite the hand that's feeding you.' He is right. If We refuse to help our country when in need. we bite the hand that feeds us, SO to speak.

Tines have a 1913 touring car

driver give the carburetor just a lit
tie too much gas at once there is a
slight knock, but will take much gas

will eliminate this slight knock.

The symptoms are characteristic
of piston slap. This is where pis-
tons and cylinders are badly worn.
AS the piston comes up on the COM
preston stroke il leans against the
LEFT side of the cylinder. AS it goes
down on the power stroke it leans
against the right side. If there is
much wear il gives a decided blow
as il strikes the right side. For
some reason not yet explained this
trouble appears at certain speeds
and disappears at others. Probably
because the compression is higher
with throttle wide open. To elm
mate the knock il is necessary TO
rebore the cylinder and fit new pis-
tons and rings.

LOOK WELL To
LIGHTING SYSTEM
How to Correct improper Fo-
CuSing and Failure of
Bulbs to Burn.

With traffic officials scrutinizing
the lighting system OF every auto
mobile these days, it is well for the
motorist TO give little attention 10
that part of his cars electrical sys-
TEN. which makes night driving
possible under any conditions. says
c. L. Hedges. manager Of technical
service for the Haynes Automobile
Co. Kokomo. Ind.
According TO Mr. Hedges there
are three situations which may lead
to an ineffective lighting arrange
ment. any one of which the man
who drives his own car may remedy
himself. Briefly stated they are:
Headlights in poor focus. reduced
reflection. and failure Of bulbs TO
burn.
IF your headlights burn bright
" but fail 20 illuminate the road.
il is an indication that the lamps
are not properly focused" SAYS
Mr.. Hedges. This may easily be
remedied by placing the car about
so feet from the side OF a build
ing and adjusting the headlights
until the bright spot from each
bulb IS slightly more than three feet
in diameter and the two illuminated
areas almost touch. The lower edge
facilities have been practically
doubled. but in spite OF il all. the
shortage still exists
