BUILD LIBERTY ENGINES
WITH LYlNG MANS SPIRIT
Cadillac Company Urges Aerop1ane
Workers to Think Of the Brave
Boys In the Air.

Men who are engaged in the produc-
ton of Liberty motors in the aeroplane
division Of the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany are constantly impressed with the
patriotic nature Of their work.
Hugo posters with this patriotic ap-
peal are published periodically and hung
on tho walls throughout the Cadillac
shops. The most recent poster. ad-
dressed to you who build Liberty mo-
tors" shows an American aeroplane in
action showering machine sunfrs on q
horde Of Huns and reads as foIlows:
'sYou who build Liberty motors, keep
thinking Of the man who IL going to
use them, and build them with the
spirit OF the fighting man!
Keep thinking Of that man in the
air, you fellows with both feet on the
ground. and remember that his fight de-
pends on the weapon you furnish him.
Keep thinking Of the horrors on the
western front, and build the motors as
tried and true as the brave boys who
ride behind them.
Bend your muscles till they creak,
and pray God that every bolt and cot
terpin you put into the Liberty motor
may do its part in bringing our brave
boys back to their own line!"

HIS CAR

TEST FOR COMPRESSION

| These are high pressdre days in

been so valuable since tho outbreak OF
the war for 30 many essential uses.

ard for efficient SERVICE" says H. Cliff
ford Brokaw. principal Of the West Side
Y. NJ. C. A. Automobile School Of New
York.
'Tt is impossible to put pressure upon
your car and get added service out Of 1t.
as well as save gasoline and lubricating
oil for war needs. unless there is pres
sure In the cylinders. This is called
compression. When q cylinder loses
compression the engine runs irregularly
and often causes q knock in the trans
mission Of the universal joint, especially
when the parts are little worn. 1t is
very common for tho owner to believe
that such q knock is in the engine itself.
Gives Five Times the Power.
by COMPRISING the gas. as is gen.
orally understood. q much greater pow
er is obtained. There are two reasons
the power generated by the burned gas
the piston must travel out Of the CYL
inder. When 1t is all the way in the
cylinder the space above the piston
| which contains the charge Of gas. is only
! about one-fifth Of that when the piston
has travelled all the way down. There
| fore. by drawing in a full cylinder of
[ gas and then COMPRISING 1t into a small
! space at the top, about ive times the
volume of gas Is used, giving FIVE times
the power.
Second, when the gas is compress
ed 1t will ignite more readily and
burn much more evenly. 1t is possi-
| bic to have SO much compression that
| the gas will ignite from that cause
| alone and. frequently there Is pre-
| ignition because of too high COM
preston. Loss of compression. there
be detected quickly by knocking in
the engine.
Indication Of Leak.
ITO test for compression each
cylinder must be dealt with separate
ly. Open all pet cocks except on the
cylinder to be tested and turn the
engine over with the starting crank
a number Of times. Where there are
no pet cocks remove spark plugs. A
decided opposition to turning the crank
turns: for the upward travel of the
piston every other revolution should
be COMPRISING the gas. If no such
resistance is felt, or II it is less for
the cylinder than for others, or II
there is a resistance which quickly
decreases while the piston is at the top
Of compression. it will be an indication
that there is a leak somewhere.
Leaks past the piston often may be
located by removing the breather-
pipe cover and listening while the
engine is turned over, a leak being
indicated by a slight Kissing sound
in tho crank case during the COM
preston stroke. An exhaust valve
leak may be determined by removing
the exhaust pipe and listening in the
manifold. or by removing the mani
fold itself, but the usual practice is to
examine other points and. If the valve
is suspected. to remove it for inspec-
tion. Leaks around tho valve caps.
spark plugs, cylinder head gasket or
pet cocks may be located by squirting
a little lubricating oil on the joints"

These signals arc the most natural

AUTO VACATION ECONOMICAL,
Illinois State Senator Made 2,275
Mile Trip for $5S,4S.

State Senator Henry NJ. Dunlap Of
Illinois has demonstrated the salts
faction and economy Of taking a vaca-
tion trip by motor car. In describing
a 2,275-mile trip taken at a total
cost Of $5s.4s. 27k cents per mile for
four passengers. he states:. Gasoline
used, 144h gallons, number Of miles
per gallon, IA 36-100: number Of miles
on each gallon Of oil. 3o3: total cost of
trip for car service, including garage
charges and washing car four times,
$5s.4S. or about az cents per mile.
Compare this with the 3-cent rail-
road fare and motor on your vacation.

When the motor does not perform
perfectly, when It hits on all cylin-
ders only after reaching a certain
throttle is opened after running
slowly on high gear. the owner gem
orally blames the carburetion. He
figures that he has q poor mixture
due to the fact that after fifty or one
hundred yards the motor picks up
and hits on all cylinders.
Troubles of this kind are mostly
due to poor insulation In the spark
plugs. Ordinary porcelains are porous
and allow SO much current to leak
that only a weak spark is delivered.
After throttling down the mixture
is not perfect and the spark is so
weak that 1t will not ignite gas prop
erly. 1t is a very common occurrence
for automobile owners to buy q new
carburetor to eliminate trouble OF
this sort.
The first thing an owner should do
before going to other expense Is to
ascertain whether or not he has the
correct spark plug.

DISTRICT CAR OWNERS

A. A. A. Club Here Receives Flood
Of Applications for Membership
in Recent Weeks.

Evidence that local car owners have
no intention of becoming panicky and
curtailing their expenditures because
Of increased taxation and high cost
Of living is found in their continued
applications for membership In the
A. A. A~District Of Columbia Club.
During the period that has elapsed
since the United States entered the
war. more than 800 new members
have been added to the club. Of whom
ninety seven came in during the past
three weeks.
Evidence Of Desire to Help.
1.-THE flood of applications for men,
bership now being received" states
Secretary William Ullman, 'is con-
strued to mean that motorists gen.
orally are aware Of the good roads

that they want to help. And they
want to help not alone for the per-
sonal pleasure they may derive from

cause they appreciate the fact that

which has a tendency to settle in the

method in cleaning is to NIL with a

AUTO IS NO Longer
. PLEASURE VEHICLE
So Says David Jameson in
Discussing Its Part in
Economy Of Daily Life. !

"In these days Of so much thought
less discussion Of the curtailment of
certain Industries, 1t should be re-
membered that no industry which has
become an essential part Of the ma
tiona1 life can be injured without in
jury to the organisms Of which 1t is

Gently elected president of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association. who has
vehicles since their appearance on the
scene nearly a score of years ago.
"Curtailment anywhere is forbidden
by the laws of self-preservation. ex-
cept only In SO far as the exigencies
tinues Mr.. Jameson. "and that pro-
gram should distribute its burdens
and curtailments In an equitable
manner"
Nation Needs It's Industries.
"The nation needs IT'S industries be-
cause they contribute to the national
wealth. This will be long war. In

to the superior rights Of the nation.
The manufacture Of passenger
automobiles is one Of the nations
great industries. 1t has suffered
natural curtailment because of slack
ened demand upon the part of an
economfzing public. That 1t should
suner still further artificially and ar
bitrarily has been suggested by two
thoughts. both of which are errone-
Gus: Cd the automobile Is regarded
as a pleasure vehicle and (2) as a
consumer of steel needed elsewhere.
The passenger car Is no longer pri-
marily pleasure car. I may venture
to say that to 80 per cent of car
owners their automobile is more a
vehicle of utility than a machine for
entertainment. But even the enter
tainment has its utilitarian side.
Human nature must have some sur
cease from the accumulating war
horror. or 1t will break under the strain.
THE motor truck will solve vital
transportation problems. It brings
with itself the need for moro rugged

RED FORK ICE SUPPLY
CONTROVERSY SETTLED
Another Inning Before u. s. Com
missioner wilkins and Finally
United States MarshaIs.

Red Fork will now get ice. ac-
cordlng to a promise made yester-
day afternoon by w. l.. Smith. who
has been the dealer over there for
the last two years. As result OF
the controversy between Smith and
George w. Taylor as to whether
Smith should deliver him ice outside
the city limits, Taylor appeared be-
fore Judge John A. Wilkins yester-
day afternoon and asked for a war
rant charging Smith with discrimi-
mating as to whom he could serve.
Before the warrant could be made
out Smith himself appeared and
stated his case. The controversy
was then transferred from the Of
flee of Judge wilkins to that of the
United States marshal, where IL was
settled by Smith promising that he
would deliver ice 90 any place within
reason and Taylor agreeing that
every pound should be weighed and
paid fcf at regular prices.
Part Of the charge against Smith
was that he had been in the habit
of collecting almost any price he
could get. for his ice and giving 1t
regardlesA, OF weight Taylor is suf-
fering from blood poison in his right
hand and says that he needs Ice
everS day. lie works for the Frisco
railroad, who have been sending ice
to him every day on a rwitch en-
gine. Had he not been able to get
ice in that manner Taylor says he
would have lost the hand.
George Taylor says there are sew
eral hundred people in Red Fork
who will sign affidavits TO the charge
Of unjust discrimination on the part
Of Smith. However, Smith says he
is doing his best and can not deliver
ice to everyone who might want II
because OF the shortage OF Ice at the
plant and his inability to buy all he
needs.
Smith was told by Judge wilkins
to at least make sure that those who
really need the ice get It., which
Smith promised to do. The warrant
Is still held In Judge wilkins office
and win be used in case any more
trouble comes up from that neigh
borhuod, 1t Is said.
