Three Cracks at Gasolene
and You're Out, the Rule

The important part that chemists of
America play in the making of auto
mobiles will be demonstrated at the
Chemical Exposition which opens in
Grand Central Palace tomorrow. Dis
cussions' on alloy steels and other
metals will take place during the week
when some 25,000 chemists will meet to
exchange ideas.
Serious attention will be given to the
gasolene situation by the men who
have put America in the position where
she now is-the leader in the chemical |
industry. The making of gasolene by
cracking processes will be gone into.
Cracking petroleum means taking ne
troleum residues after the gasolene and
kerosene have been distilled off and
treating the residue according to VA
rious processes, but usually with heat
and pressure. What happens, in a
chemical sense, is that the residue is
knocked into big and little pieces, some
of which are found to be gasolene.
There is limit to cracking. and it
has been observed that after three
times in succession the residue refuses
to separate into gasolene and other
bodies. On further treatment it shows
disposition to go back into it's orig-
lnal elements carbon and hydrogen.
The rule seems to be about three times
and out.

How theDouble alive
Six Was Developed
By Pierce

An interesting statement is sent to
The Tribune by the Pierce Arrow, COW
ring the experimentation that led to
he development and manufacture of
he double valve siX-cylinder engine
low in use. The statement is:
The tendency to-day is to demand
better direct drive performance from
passenger cars than ever before. 1t
therefore has become necessary to
obtain the utmost efficiency from
our engines. The Pierce company
have been experimenting for years
in order to improve the horsepower
output of their engines. They have
built various types of six, eight and
twelve cylinder engines, and the re-
suit of these experiments has been
to convince US more than ever that
Tor passenger car requirements the
slX-cyllnder engine is preferable to
any other type.
The greater power developed in
some of the above engines, especially
at the higher speeds, indicated that
this was due almost entirely to the
large sized valves employed compared
to cylinder volume, this insurng a
very high volumetric efficiency. In
order to equal this condition in our
4S-horsepower engine, with its AK
,5'a cylinder, we found that it would
be necessary to use valve 8 inches
diameter with lift of g inch.
This is as high lift as it is possible
to use and retain reasonably quiet
valve action with large diameter
valves. This size of valve is, of
course. prohibitivc because of noise
due to the heavy spring pressure re-
qulred and the tendency to warp out
of shape.
The standard practice is no, TO cx-
ceed with single valves throat
diameter half the cylinder bore; this
would give valve a inches di-
ameter for our 4S-horsepower engine.
This is practically the size we have
been using in the past for this engine.
We did all we could to obtain more
power from this engine with this size
of valve, but without success, and we
decided to try double inlet and double
exhaust valves in this same sized en-
glne. These valves are tx inches
diameter in the throat, with ss-inch
lit, giving the same areas as 3-inch
diameter valve with q s-inch lift.
With this arrangement of valves on
"l" head cylinder it was necessary
to adopt detachable heads. The re-
suits we obtained in regard to in
creased horsepower and speed cx-
ceeded our expectations.
We also found the engine ran
cooler; the valve, being so small,
warped less, and therefore seldom
required to be ground in, the light
valve springs gave very quiet valve
action and the engine was very much
better in regard to economy of fuel
than our former engines.
The acceleration on opening the
throttle IS remarkable, and all these
attributes are present and are very
apparent to the driver Of the car
fitted with this engine as compared
with our 4S B4 model. The accelera
ton is very much more rapid. The
power is very much greater; hills
that before necesstated change of
gear can be mounted on high.
The speed Of the car is much
greater. and the miles per gallon are
much increased, and with all this the
engine runs much cooler: so much so
that the same size of radiator is al
most too large for the new model!

Know the Principles of
the Auto; Then Use
Your Head
By William II. Stewart, Jr.

President of the Stevart Automobile
School
"Trouble hunters are born, not
made!" exclaimed friend as he
trouble hunter find and fix a defect
which had baffed him for more than
two hours.
''I don't use any particular sys-
tem," said the repair man in comment
on that. "but I know the principles
and l know how to diagnose the symp-
toms"
"But how do you know where to
begin?"
That's easy. In fact, the easiest
part of >it," he replied you should
notice the way the engine stops. If
the engine goes dead, as if the switch
had suddenly been opened, the ignition
system is at fault. If it grows weaker
for few revolutions, misses few
explosions and then stops, particularly
if it backfires when it stops, the gaso-
lene has given out and we start at the
gasolene tank and work forward"
He started the engine by way of IL
lustration and loosened battery wire
to show the effect of ignition failure.
The engine stopped Immediately. as he
has stated. He started it again and
removed the high tension wire from the
distributor. The engine stopped the
same way.
What other troubles could produce
the same effect" was asked.
"Not large number, but the most
common ones are defective induction
coil, Loose interrupter wire or rotor of
interrupter loose on it's shaft"
"How about a leaky distributor or
defective spark plugs?" asked my
friend.
"That would make one or more cylin-
ders miss explosions, but the engine
would not stop. We were discussing
those troubles which would make the
whole ignition system give up at once
He started the engine again and shut
off the gaa:lene at the tank. The en-
gine ran perfectly for a brief inter
val, then weakened perceptibly. then
stopped.
'This shows the effect of failure of
the gasolene supply" said the trouble
hunter.
"But the engine didn't backlre at
the carburetor!" exclaimed my friend.
"That is nothing unusual. If it de-,
pop back at the carburet:r it is adli-
tional evidence of lack of gasolene."
"And where would you start looking
for trouble in such a case as this?"

Stop, Look and Listen

By II. Clifford Brokaw
Principal West Side Y. NJ. C. A. An

Are you in the habit of trying to
beat the locomotive to the railway
crossing? The papers are telling of
another man who tried it on one of the
Jersey meadow roads, with the usual
result-he and his young bride paid
the supreme penalty Of reckless haste.
1t would seem unnecessary to eau
tion the motorist where an element Of
safety is involved. Ought not every
one intrusted with the wheel of an
automobile to be, as matter of course,
interested in his personal safety and
in the safety of those in his care
Would you not expect that he would
take all ordinary and even extraordinary
/ precautions to keep skin unscratched ID
and bones unbroken and existence pre-
| served? But it is fact that for a
| large proportion of motorists there is
no such word as danger" and no such
word as scare" I wonder why.
Too Much "Take Chance
For e. ME reason there is abroad the
| spirit o. take a chance" and it has
entirely superseded the cautious fore
sight which once was the American
nature. Perhaps II is the changed cor
ditions of our land which are respc.4
sible for this. In pioneer days caution
was necessary, for one did not know
| behind what rock lurked death in the
form of a savage. and there were al
ways ferocious animals to avoid in the
wilds and even along travelled high
ways, so that to look ahead, to walch
for signs of danger and to approach
points of peril with every sense alert
was second nature.
We are only generation or two
from these things, even at the crowded
centres of population, but the last two
generations which have grown up in
the city and millions who have come
| from other lands in the same period
have not this inbred caution. Men who
are in peril daily from one cause or
another incident to city life and moth
ing happens" cannot be expected to get
excited about these things, which in
time become so familiar as to breed
contempt.
The man who is in constant fear lest
something fall from tall building up
on him, or there be an explosion from
beneath, or a crash of trolley, subway
or elevated cars, with a generous COM
plement of fire and food and gale add
ed, would go crazed if he thought much
on these things. Therefore, it is hard
to get him to think Of "safety first" II
is rather 81 should worry!" and this
actually prolongs life. so long as it is
applied tc familiar things. 1t keeps
nerve systems from breaking.
This is why it is SO hard to get the
city driver accustomed to caution IL
places of real peril. One of the wors,
of these is driving over railway tracks
Out on the Huckleberry division, where
there is but one train day each way
if luck favors the intending passen-
gers, there is not so much danger, but
in the vicinity of all large cities. where
suburban trains run often and through
trains are numerous, it behooves the
autoist to acquire speedily belief in
signs. The usual sign at a railway
crossing is a post with two arms in
the form of an X to warn highway
travellers. 1t matters not that there is

1t does no govd to talk about rights

course, all this applies to trolley cross

clear. if there be no traffic man.
The Other Fellows Rights
But if one need be careful Of his
own hide. how about the other fel-
lows? Il is easy TO say of pedestrian
or man in another vehicle, let him keep
out of the way. or keep to his side
of the road Well, if he doesn't, you
can keep out Of his way and you will
be great deal happier at the end
of your trip than if there is an acc
dent. No cNe likes to contemplate
even an unavoidable injury to another.
Then, too, the pedestrian has some
rights-even greater than the auto or
the subway. 1t is popular to talk about
the "jaywalker" and to assume that
the man CT foot has few rights in
the roadway, where he has first right,
according to the United States Supreme
Court, and no amount of traffic rules
and ordinances and laws can rob him
Of that right, according to the same
authority.
1t might be an unwise thing. but
pedestrian may walk in the middle OF
the road and it is the duty of the
autoist TO keep out of his way. This
is not popular, but it is law, and dam
ages are being assessed on that basis,
and it is a good thing to bear in mind
1t may be hard on the autoist, but
sometimes it is hard for man to
cross the street, SO it is about even
Anyway, it is wisdom.
