Recently you stated that an
auxiliary spark gap could be used
to intensity the spark Would a
larger spark cap at the plug do as
well? I have a Ford car, and can
adjust the vibrators 20 give a half
inch spark. Why must the gap al
the spark plug be so small? G. B.
The spark plug gap should be
small. as IL is difficult for a spark
to jump through gasoline vapor
under high compression. We
adjust vibrators 10 give a sparx that
will jump one-fourth inch in the air
so that il will be able TO Jump one
thirty-second inch in the cylinder
An auxiliary gap outside the cylin-
der adds very little 10 the resistance
OF the circuit, whereas an increase
i'm the size OF the spark gap at the
plug would stop ignition entirely.

HELPFUL HINTS.

AS a general rule. grease cups
are not given the intelligent
care they should receive. Those
under the engine hood and ina
fairly warm place require an
occasional twist. for the heat
keep the grease fairly soft, and
it is drawn into the bearings by
the rotation of the shafts.
: Grease cups which are outside,
however, where the air keeps
the grease almost solid, require
frequent attention.

1 am going TO overhaul my Chal-
mers 1915 model master six car.
Have run 1t about 10000 miles. l
have changed oil in base every
thousand miles and flushed same
with kerosene. When 1 examined
oil 1 took from base. found some
fine pieces of metal ground up
about as fine as sand. Is that from
the natural wear of the motor or
do you think something is wearing
faster than il should? Would one
ring on each piston be enough or
should I put on all new ones? In
taking up bearings how tight should
they be- How can / tell if a wrist
pin is loose or not? Have had no
trouble with masnetO (BOsch). Do
you think 1 should have it looked
over? Have a Rayfield carburetor.
model G.. Have never been able
TO get more than nine or 10 miles per
gallon. is this good mileage or
could you suggest a way 10 get
more? B. w.
After running SO many miles
there is bound TO be more or less
sediment in the bottom of the crank
case. However. you should make a
very careful inspection of all the
working parts 10 make sure that no
parts are wearing abnormally. II
would be advisable TO tit all new
piston rings. They are inexpensive,
and this work can be done very cas-
lily while the motor is down. IL is
a difficult matter TO advise you just
how much TO take up on the bear
ings. There should be no play. Ad-
just one bearing at a time. That is
to say. when you have obtained the
proper fitting Of one bearing then
loosen il again and fit the next. BY
cranking you will better judge the
set up OF each bearing and the drag
will not be cumulative. After each
has been fitted then the bolts Of all
may be frightened with the know
ledge that each is right The motor
will seem stiff at first. but this will
soon disappear. A loose wrist pin
will cause a metallic knock and be
more noticeable when spark plug is
short circuited. When you install
new rings you can easily tell wheth-
er the bearing is loose. 1t would be
well TO clean the magnetic thorough
ly and r.adjust the breaker point.
Regarding carburetor would sug-
gest that you write the manufactur-
or and ask for the correct specif-
cations suitable for your car. Per
haps they can furnish you with

New York-Now that Hooverism

While there is no intention on tho
part of the food administration delibcr-

Chinese cookery, il seems that in order
TO be quite certain that the regulations
are not being violated the Hoover board
may have to investigate the secret art
OF making chop suey. chow main. and
all the other oriental dishes on the
Geographic menus.
It's the mystery that lends the Zest

traction is going to disappear, say the
Chinese cooks. II the Hoover board in

The food administration doesn't care
q hang about the secret side OF Chi

whether or not Yui Wan Kai Top, for
instance, which, in the vernacular OF
the Chinese restaurant bill Of fare,
stands for birds nest soup, contains
anything that hasn't the Hoover stamp

Ii Bing Quai, advertised in the bill of
fare OF the Pekin restaurant at Broad

ing been at one time "chef to the no.
bility." pooh poohs this idea of mys-
terry in chop suey.
This Is "chow Main"
Though Chinese cooks in Chinatown

ing list of ingredients:

nuts. noodles, and rice.
