Government ownership and opera

TROUBLE IN STARTING A CAR
pifsieulty Generally Due to Fact That
Gasoline Will Not vaporixe at
Low Temperature.

The easiest way to overcome start
ing difficulties with an automobile In
cold weather is to apply heat to the
intake manifold, in the opinion Of L.
v. Collins, instructor In steam and
gas engineering In the Kansas agricul-
tural college.
Trouble in starting q car In cold
weather is generally due to the fact
that the ordinary low grade Of gasO-
line will not vapOrize readily at low
temperatures.
The intake pipe leading from the
carburetor is usually vertical SO that
gasoline will not pass through unless
it Is vaporized. The velocity Of air
through the carburetor and intake pipe
will hold the vaporized gas in sus-
pension when the motor is once
started.
by applying heat to the intake mani
fold enough liquid will be vaporized
so that the motor will start readily.
In this case the entire mixture is
warmed rather than Just the gasoline.
Better results will be obtained than
where the motor is primed with heat
ed gasoline and the air is allowed to
enter the cylinders cold.
The simplest way to apply heat to
the manifold is to pour hot water over
the carburetor. Putting hot water
into the cooling system warns the
cylinder walls. but does not help to

ENGINE TROUBLE IS ELUSIVE
Cause Of Much Worry-Parts

A simple defect that has caused
many a car owner much fruitless in
vestigation results from a dirty dis
tributor or collector ring. 1t is natu-
raj that In the course Of time dirt
should accumulate on these parts, and
when It does, the result Is ignition

there Is no easily recognized symp-
toms that IL Characteristic. It may
cause a knock. or any one Of q num-
Der Of varieties of irregular firing.
These parts should be carefully wiped
at frequent intervals, and In doing this
no metal tool should be used. II 1t Is
necessary to use some implement to
reach narrow spaces with the wiping

employed.

MESSENGERS Of Death.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds of shells fired from Ger
man guns, and each and every one of
them has been given nj least one nick
name by the Tommies. according 10
London Tit-Bits. Some of them have
been given several.
The biggest kind of high explosive
shells, for instance, are known In
differently as DIRTY Dicks" Jack
Johnsons." Goal Boxes" Flower
Pots" "Crumps," "Black Peters" or
"Whistling Willies."
The smaller kind are BLACK Ma

whether the smoke they emit when
bursting is black, or white with q yell

High explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizz-
bangs" and .'pip-squeaks." from their
habit of giving only those warnings Of
their approach. "Archibalds" are anti
aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel
projectiles are Little Willies."

Save INNER TUBES.
Theme Of Educational Campaign
Instituted for Economy.
CAN Save MOTORIST MONEY
Undue Haste In Replacing Punetured
Or elown-out Tube 10 Responsi.
BILE for Multitude Of Sins
Pinehing 10 Mistake.

Ways and means Of procuring the
longest service from inner tubes-an
appurtenance Of the automobiles
mechanism that is most neglected-is
the theme OF an educational campaign
Instituted by a big rubber concern in
the interests of war economy. Many
unexpected outbursts from air-contain-
ers originate from "sins Of omission"
and commission" and by emphasizing
the more glaring ones the company be-
lieves 1t can save the motorist dollars
that otherwise would pour into the
abyss Of waste.
Undue haste In replacing a pune
tured or blown-out tube is RESPONSE
BILE for a multitude Of the "sins." The
most common mistake is pinching the
tube. The tube is inserted In an un-
even or twisted manner. This causes
it to overlap or wrinkle, with the re-
suit that In a short time 1t will cut
through where 1t has been Overlapped
and we have q leak.
Pinehes New Tube.
The same trouble is also caused
sometimes by putting new tube into
the tire Just as 1t is taken from the
box. When the tube is applied after
mounting there Is such an thrush Of
air that 1t will often buckle up the
tube. thereby forcing a tiny section
beneath the bead spreader.
Especially will this occur II the
valve stem is not pulled out to Its
10 ch
proceed slowly when applying the
tube. Before putting 1t into the cas-
ing II should be given a couple Of
"shots" of air. then 1t should be ap-
piled carefully, the inside-the side on
which the stem occurs-being always
kept inside.
When it is in the casing 1t should
be "talced" carefully and the fingers
forced all around the tire TO make sure
that the tale has been evenly distrib-
uted. and then. before the loose bead
Is applied, the tire should be given
little more air-enough to round 1t ont
nicely and prevent pinching.
How to Use Tale.
The motorist should be cautioned
against using too much tale. There
are several powders procurable for
keeping the tube from sticking to the
casing, among these being soap stone,
graphite and tale. but the use Of too
much Of any Of these proves disas-
trous. as a collection of substance in
one place eats into the rubber. If. on
the other hand, no powder be used, 1t
will be only a short time before the
heat generated will cook the tube.
determination Is equally injurious
to tubes. When the under-inflated
tire passes over q stone both casing
and tube are tolted against the rim.
and sooner or later leak will devel-
op. All tires should be inflated to
the standard prescribed by manufac-
turers.
All tubes should be carried in a wa
terproof bag or well wrapped in news
paper.
