tuo Valuable Tips
In Case of Fire

By knowing in advance what you
should do in case your car catches
fire you are less likely to get in a
panic and lose valuable time in an
emergency. 1t is the part of wisdom
to have small extinguisher about
your car. 1t is invaluable in a gas
olene fire. Water is useless when gas
olene is blazing and merely tends to
spread the fire. In the absence of an
extinguisher dirt or sand may be used,
but great damage often results by get
ting grit in the mechanism. If you
have had to put out a fire with sand,
clean the working parts thoroughly
before you attempt to run again.
When fire has started from a back
fire cose the throttle and use the
starter to turn the motor over. This
tends to draw the flames into the
manifold, If fire has caught in the
drip pan put that out frfist and then
attend to the carburetor. Know
where the stopcock is located in your
gasolene line SO that you can turn
it off in case of emergency. The drip
pan should be kept free from accumu-
lations Of oil and grease to lessen the
danger from fire.

Making Tread Filters Stick.

A motorist told US recently that he
had lost faith in cut filters because
they did not stick. Going further
with him we found that he had simply
smeared a little cement in the cut,
pushed in a chunk of tread filler and
gone on his way.
You must first trim the edges of the
cut smooth with a sharp knife, rough
en- the rubber with emery paper, and
clean out thoroughly with gasolene
Apply heavy coat Of patching ce-
ment and while it is drying take what
you judge is little more than
enough cure cut to fill the hole and
knead it until soft. When the cement
is dry, press the cure cut firmly into
the hole and trim off with a moistened
knife until the repair is level with
the tread. If possible, let the repair
stand a few hours before using.
When cut in the tread gets the
weight of the car on it in contact with
the road it expands and grit and peb-
bles are forced into the cut. With each
revolution of the wheel this foreign
matter acts as wedge, forcing itself
between tread and fabric. Often this
causes complete tread separation and
the loss of an expensive casing. Open
cuts also let water through to rot the
fabric. So taking the trouble to fol-
low directions and cure tread cuts
properly will pay big diviends.--

Spark Lever Is
Little Understood
Economy of Operation Is Es-
pecially Dependent on This
Device, Which Few Driv-
ers Know Anything About
By Vim. II. Stewart, Tr.

One of the least understood levers
on the car is the spark control lever
Yet economy of operation, safety and
a number of other things depend upon
its proper use. The beginner retards
it as directed when starting, and moves
it to the advanced position after the
engine has started merely because he
has been told to do so. Such a thing
as control on the road, or even the rea-
sons for moving it at all, are completely
beyond his knowledge
Of course, he knows that this lever
controls, the spark which fires the
explosive mixture in the cylinders
But the matter Of advancing and re-
tarding the spark is so hazy in the
minds of most motorists that what fol-
lows will hardly be understood unless
preceded by few words of explana-
tion.
In order to have the engine run in
the right direction the spark must oc-
cur on the power stroke just as the
piston is starting down. If the spark
should occur while the piston is going
up it might stop the engine or start it
running backward. Evidently it is i'm
portant when starting the engine to
have the spark occur on the downward
stroke Of the piston. This is done by
retarding. If the spark lever is ad-
vanced too far the explosion will occur
on the up stroke of the piston, forcing
the fiy wheel backward and possibly
injuring the operator, if he is crankine
by hand, or breaking the starting mech
anism. With present systems using
self-starters there is no danger of q
broken wrist. but something must give
usually either the starter gears OF
sprocket, necessitatinc an extensive re-
pair.
1t is easy to retard the spark on a
strange car if you understand the pro
cedure. Remove the cover of the dis.

tributor, so that you can watch the dis
tributor brush. Be sure that the
switch is off. Crank engine and note
which way the brush revolves. If it
turns the same way as the hands of
clock we call it "clock-wise" motion;
if the opposite wav it is Counter
clock-wise." Having learned which way
the brush turns, we must turn the dis
tributor in the same direction in order
to retard the spark.
Remember the rule, so that you may
always apply it correctly: Turn the
distributor in the same direction as
the movement of the brush. This ap-
plies equally to magnetic, but here
we watch the turning of the drive
shaft and turn the breaker box the
same way. 1t is not even necessary to
remove the cover of the breaker box.
Crank the engine, noting the direction
of rotation of the armature, and move
the breaker box in the same direction
If it is necessary to retard the spark
in order to start the engine, it is
equally necessary to advance the spark
in in order to give power to the engine.
The piston moves so rapidly that it
will be PARKWAY down the cylinder be-
tore the explosion catches up with it,
so that the most important part of the
stroke is lost By advancing the spark
the explosion occurs earlier and the
full length of the power stroke is used.
This matter of advancing and retard-
ing the spark should be carefully at
tended to on the road. A safe rule is
always to keep the spark as far ad-
vanced as possible, short of causing
the engine to knock. On some cars the
proper point is marked on the sector;
on others the lever is pushed along to
the limit of motion. This is for use at
all times, except on hill.
AS soon as the car slows down ap-
prcciably what is known as a "spark
knock" occurs. This IS due to the fact
that the spark occurs on the compress
sion stroke. The explosion meets the
piston coming down and endeavors to
force it down, causing a knock. This
does not happen on level road, unless
the engine is overloaded, because the
crank shaft turns so rapidly that the
piston has time to pass dead centre and
start downward before the explosion
pressure is developed. But when going
up a hill the engine slows down and
the knock occurs. The remedy, of
course, is to retard the spark Just
enough to stop the knock.
SO 1T is necessary to keep the spark
advanced in order to develop the power
of the engine. But there is another
important reason, and that is to pre-
vent the engine from overheating. We
must ignite the gas in the cylinder as
early in the stroke as possible in order
to have it burn up before the exhaust
New-York tribune., 1918-05-26

valve opens. This is to prevent the
flame of the burning gases passing
over the valves and so overheating and
burning them. The operator who runs
with retarded spark loses power In
order to overcome this he opens the
throttle wider than is necessary, feed
ing more gas to the cylinders than can
be burned in the short time before the
exhaust valve opens. The resulting
flame passing through the valve ports
overheats the engine.
The careful operator keeps the spark
lever just ahead of the throttle lever
on a level road. AS he needs more
speed he opens the throttle more, and
then advances the spark lever as we'll.
It will be seen that this cannot be done
on hill Here the engine cannot run
so fast, and so the spark must be re-
tarded. At the same time we need
more power, and so the throttle must
be opened more than usual. The posi-
ton of the levers is thus reversed and
must continue so until the car reaches
level road or runs downhill. These
few hints should enable the beginner
to get best results from spark and
throttle.
