By William H. Stewart, Jr.

An interesting case of loss of engine
power came to my attention recently.
\ friend had comp aimed frequently
that his engine was troubled with
carbon. He had the cylinders cleaned
and then employed the usual methods
to reduce carbon deposits. Still the
carbon accumulated faster than he
could keep it down, accompanied by
symptoms such as weak power, engine
missing explosions. sluggishness when
throttle was opened, and carbon knock
pulling hills.
The symptoms of carbon were all
present. including the knock, particu-
larly on a hill, and trail of blush
white smoke following the car and in
dicating that the engine was piling up
more carbon as fast as it could. He
assured me that the carbon had just
been cleaned out and the valves
ground. When asked about the COM
preston he admitted that he did not
know how to test it.
This is one of the disadvantages of
the selfstartcr-a person doesn't have
to crank the engine by hand. Former
~ one always knew whether the engine
had good compression or not because
he tested it every time he started it,
and any loss of compression became
Immediately evident. SO my friend
uncovered the starting handle from a
pile of rubbish under the rear seat
and we cranked the engine.
Compression was weak in all the
cylinders. The valves had Just been
ground, so we ran the engine and
injected oil around the valve caps.
spark plugs, and compression relief
valves. Since no bubbles came through
the oil we knew they We're tight. In
spection of the clearance between
valve filters and valve stems showed
space sufficiently large to admit a
piece Of newspaper, proving that the
valves were not held off their seats.
The only place remaining where
compression could escape was around
the pistons, caused by scored Or oval
cylinders or trouble with the rings,
such as their being badly worn, broken,
scored. slots in line or Gummed by
carbon and stuck in their grooves. so
shat they could not spring out On
starting the engine again and holding
the hand over the breather tube the
mystery was solved.
Such a rush OF gas came out that il
vas evident most Of the power was
leaking into the crank case and the ell
was drawn up to the top of the piston
at every suction stroke. This trouble
vas aggravated by some of the unevap-
GRATED gasolene leaking down into the
crank case, thinning the oil. reducing
its lubricating qualities, with conse-
quent loss Of power through friction.
This thin oil was sucked up all ~Ae
more readily on the suction stroke,
thus augmenting the trouble
Our first attempt at a remedy was to
pour half teacupful Of kerosene into
each cylinder and to crank the engine
by means of the self-starter, in order
20 free the rings, in case they were
stuck in tho grooves. After several
minutes of this We again tried the
compression by hand, to find no i'm

Guard the Treads if
You'd Save Your Tires

1t is surprising how many motorists
never bother about the condition of the
treads of their tires, says the B. r.
Goodrich Rubber Company. The trend
or rubber covering protects the cotton
carcass of the tire from injury. OBJ
vlously, then, it is important that the
tread be kept intact. Otherwise dirt,
grease, water and other injurious sub
stances gain access to the fabric and
rapid deterioration results.
Small slashes an holes should be i'm
medlately. plugged with plaster. If
minor cuts that are caused by running
over glass, sharp pebbles, etc, are not
taken. care of the tire will surely go
out of service prematurely. AS the tire
rolls along the cut sucks in water and
gravel, which are absorbed by the fab
rlc. just as a wick absorbs oil.
The moisture causes separation Of
the tread from the fabric and the dirt
works in at the point of separation.
Soon the accumulation of dirt causes a
sand blister" or mud boil" rbe
tread continues to loosen further
around the tire and the fabric slowly
rots away.

Appointed by Governor Dorsey in Oct,
1917 Judge of Court of Appeals to sue
ceed Judge George, Judge Frank HarWell
announces for reelection to the unexpired

He was reelected by the people of his
home county Crroup) for four cOnsecu-
tive terms of four years each, Judge of
the City Court of LAGRANGE, and resigned
that position to accept this place on the
Court of Appeals.
He has made a splendid record on the
Court of Appeals since his appointment
10 October, and his work on the Court
II commended and endorsed by the MEM
Defs of the bar throughout the State.

ernor Dorsey two years ago.
Judge Harwell was not a candidate for
Judge of the Court of Appeals in the

defeats of his only opponent in seeking
this and other elective Offices.
He says in his announcement, 'If
