Some Causes and Cures
For Overheating Engines
One of Series of Articles by an Expert for
the Guidance of Automobile
Owners

Though overheating Of the engine is
by no means a condition confined to
summer operation of the automobile,
it is one which gives its greatest trou-
BILE during the warm weather, and
also is more prevalent then. Over
heating is Just as bad for the engine
as 1t is inconvenient for the driver to
operate his car at such a time. Few
of them realize that excessive over
heating may reduce the life Of the
engine to a considerable extent. Some
present makes of cars are quite well
known for their heating proclivities,
especially during the summer months,
and owners of such vehicles are well
aware that measures must be taken
to reduce the heating periods.
Overheating has many causes. The
rev owner readily understands that
il he runs his engine on a retarded
spark for any length of time the en-
gine will overhead: that Is, the water
will boil and steam will issue from
the overflow pipe and from around
the filler cap on the radiator. The
action with retarded spark is quite
well appreciated. but the average
owner does not understand the fun
udiiicntdt TcdoOu lOE tHIS. vi d re-
tarded spark. the spark occurs as the
piston is descending, and of course
when 1t is descending there is
more wall exposed than though
it were at the top. Thus on
"a retarded spark the spark oc-
ours when there is a large wall area
exposed TO the flame OF explosion,
hence more heat is sent into the COOL
ing water and the hotter it gets. On
an advanced spark there is not 50
much wall area exposed to the flame
and the heat loss through the jacket
water Is not so much. 1t very often
happens that an owner must run on
retarded spark up steep grade in
order to prevent the engine from
knocking. When the top of the grade
is reached the engine is hot and water
is boiling. II this is habit" with the
engine. which will take the spark
even on a slight grade. the thing to
investigate first is the cause for the
knocking, SO that 1t will be possible
to use a little more advance.
1t is quite natural that anything in
the water system tending to impede
water circulation will soon cause the
water to boil. The usual thing for
the owner to do is to look into the
filler neck while the engine is run
ming and notice IL there is visible
sign of circulation. II the water
seems to be moving then circulation is
all right and the cause is elsewhere

Stamps; I'm saving wood, I'm

The Springtime is lovely thing,
for then the flowers upshoot, and
then the hens and robins sing, and
lay all kinds of fruit. And that is
when we ought to sow our prunes
and nutmeg seeds, and slosh
around with spade and hoe, and
kill the growing weeds. 1t is a
patriotic stunt to cultivate our
greens, to feed the armies at the
front, and can the submarines.
So we should keep our nerve
and pep. we should not loaf or
lag, or moon around with drag
ging step, like some old treadmill
nag. And I prescribe a car to
keep the boys in trim, to drive
away Springs aches and pain, and
fill their breasts with vim.

IMPORTANT POINTS
FOR AUTO BUYERS
Manager Gives Some Necessary
Hints to Prospective 4
Purchasers.

"A motor car Is an important in
yestment," says Mr.. II. II. Mundy,
And 1t is only fair that the prospec-
tive purchaser be taught the essen
tials Of Motor car knowledge before
investing his money.
Before selecting a motor car, the
buyer should carefully consider each
Of these ten important points: %
economy; C0 power and flexibility;
CD convenience; % comfort; C0. safe
ty; 90 convenience; % ease and care;
90 easy riding; O beauty; Qo) style.
1T is not necessary to consider
these points in order as stated, al
though 1t would be a safe plan to fol-
low. !.
Economy has been given prefer
ence, for the reason that il is the
important point of the hour. Buy a
car having an economical record, one
that will give you a maximum
amount of mileage for each gallon
of gasoline. This is governed by the
type Of motor. bearings, fabrication
and weight.
The next important essential to
watch Is for power. You want power
in an automobile. You want to be
able to 60 anywhere. You do not
want to feel any limitations in this
respect.
, Durability l. something we all
seek In making purchase. 1t Is
especially important when one con-
siders the amount involved. This item
depends on the integrity of the max
er, his honesty, his ideals. his stand
ards. A good way to judge this is to
notice the number of cars of any par
ticular make in use. This Is as a
rule. a guide to follow.
Conveniences and comforts are i'm
portant. too. Buy a car that gives
you the little things that make
motoring enjoyable and free from
care. Select your motor car with this
knowledge and without mistakes"

By this system the army is not only

twenty trucks across the country. Not
one OF the men in the detachment had
ever seen one of the new trucks. Nor
had the trucks been taken over the

new trucks delivered at a port in

The experiment worked like a
charm. The first day out the men
were cautious and the trucks were stiff
owing to tight assembling. After the
first day everything went smoothly.
No accidents occurred that were not
easily remedied with a monkey

no spare parts to be carried. They
were not needed.

SAYS AMERICAN IS GUILTY OF
 ESPIONAGE

PARIS, Oct, 25- Nettled by the effect of the Scandinavian transa- ton of Hugh Gibson'S book, ''Tho Rape of Belgium" in Norway, Swed- en and Denmark, the German Forcien office, through its official propagaN~ da bureau has accused the author of espionage during September and 0c. cber, 1914
 Mir. Gibson at that time was Secrn- tary of the American Legation av Brussels. His recall from his post a: Brussels during the german occupat- ion was requested from Washington by Baron von der Lachken, German Civil Governor of Brussels. He is now Paris representative of tho Committee on Public Information.
 An article in the Politiken of Cor. enhagen states that on numerous O. casions Gibson took advantage of h!S diplomatic immunity" and the pass ports given him by Von Parotsky, Von
 Luttwitz, and Baron von der Colt allowing him to cross German lines, to carry information to the Belgium and Allied armies
 The Germans make the formal charge that on one of Gibson's trips from Brussels to Antwerp during the siege he brought a full, complete re- port, of the number and location Of German troops investing the fortress, location of siege guns and other v,l- uable military information.
