INDICATIONS OF CHOKED
MUFFLER.

Il. Nj. d. asks: Please describe the
signs that indicate choked muller
and tell how the muller can be
cleaned.
Answer; A badly choked muller
tends TO prevent the attainment of
very high car speed. If there is a
muffier cut-out on your car and very
much higher car speed can be Sc
cured when 1t is open than when it
Is closed--the indications. of the
speedometer being relied upon rath-
er than the operators Judgment
there Is reason to suspect that the
muffler is choked. If the radiator
water and the entire exhaust system
runs hotter than normally this is an
added indication that the exhaust
is obstructed. However, clogged
mufflers are not common. 1t being
rare that oil or incompletely burned
mixture Is exhausted in such large
quantities for a long enough period
to close up the passages Detaching
the mufiler, taking it apart and
scraping its inside surfaces Is about
the only way Of clearing It. Burn
ing off the accumulations is some
times attempted-the muffler being
put into hot fire, and burning out
with oxygen also has been tried, but
neither method is so safe or sure as
scraping. Unless your engine has
been an habitual "oil burner" or has
been accustomed to run on an
egregiously overrich mixture, we
should advise you to be slow in con-
cluding that its muiIler is clogged.

Answer: These fuel feed systems
are excellent as such but the amount
Of heat supplied in this way to the
fuel, while advantageous, goes but
a very little way toward warming
the resulting mixture sufficiently to
overcome the carhuration dlffcul-
ties that are met with in the use Of
ordinary gasoline, especially in cold
weather. Moreover. the engine must
be run some little time before the
fuel in the small tank becomes much
harmed. If your trouble is due to
lack of heat to produce effective vap-
orization, you will probably have TO
resort to some means of warming
the intake pipe. such for instance,
as an exhaust gas Jacket around II.

Sam came down tearing mad
Hard to Get Information From
Americans.

We again resumed our walk towards
the American section Of the prison
camp. On the way I translated the
conversation ] had held with the big
black Americans. But my Germans es-
carts did ont appreciate the humor Of it
all. Both Of them very angry and the
officer told me that these Americans
were frivolus, arrogant anr mannerless.
"They will ont answer questions and
when they do answer they tell such
strange lies that it useless to bother
with them," complained the Red Cross
officer.
One American on being asked had
told an officer he came from certain
city of a.certain state and when he con.
suited the Atlas he could not find no
such city recorded. On reprimanding
him for telling such an untruth the
American smiled arfogantly and replied
that he did not care what the German
atlas had to say and that he knew bet
/ tor than the German atlas where he
came from. And vixen he was again
asked what city he belonged in Am
erica, he gave a different name, no
doubt having forgotten the first name.
They also bitterly complained that the
Americans did not regard the war SER
iously. They always sang but never
sung their national anthem. Once
when ore Of their guards asked them to
sing it they broke out singing frivo-
lous verse about the girl they left be-
behind.
The Red Cross official related an.
other experience told him by one of his
friends, an officer, who had separated
the American soldiers from the others
and spoke to them regarding Germany's
siG,s in the war. His audience of Am
orleans had listened to him in silence,
and no doubt thinking that he had won
them to his side he dared TO tell, what
they were fighting for. Then the tragic
incidenth appened. One lone soldier
stood up and asked if it would be all
right to answer that question. Unsus-
pecting the German officer propaganda
list permitted him to make answer.
Thereupon the American prisoner
shouted at the top Of his voice: 'WeI
surely know what we are fighing for,
we are fighting for the kaiser's head,
and -' his companions, led by
one who announced "three cheers for
Uncle sam," covered up the rest of
his remark with loud cheers.
