Dried lizards are said to be an arti- Gle of merchandise regularly imported into this country. They come from China to supply demand by Chinese residents in the United States. They are sup posed to possess much medicinal virtue when ground to powder and mixed with
 certain other curative substances. The Chinese used dried toads for a tonic,
 salted scorpions for smallpox and fossil crabs as an antidote for poison.

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 $4,000 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-
NAL 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-
CURED and the tendency to warp out
of shape.
The standard practice is no, TO cx-
coed with single valves throat
diameter half the cylinder bore; this
would give valve a inches d.
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 -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

"Trouble hunters are born, not

which had baffed him for more than
two hours.
81 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.

common ones are defective induction

"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-
CINE 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?"
"At the gasolene tank. There might
