It seems that the proper amount
Of gasoline does not reach the car
buretor. If dirt or other foreign
material gets into the pipe line and
partially clogs it trouble will result.
II may be possible that the valve in
the pipe line leading from the tank
may be partly closed and not per
hitting enough gasoline TO enter the
line. If this is not the case II would
be advisa BILE to take off the pipe
carburetor. In such cases 1t is often
necessary to take out the tank in
order 20 remove the dirt from II.
Pieces of lint and other foreign
matter will get into the tank while
same is being filled with gasoline II
great care is not taken. Gasoline
should be strained before il is put
into the car. Water in the gasoline
will also cause trouble. This is
heavier than gasoline and will not
pass through the spray nozzle. As
a result the water will prevent prop
er action in the carburetor. There
is usually a drain cock at the bot
tom of the carburetor, and this
should be opened for few seconds
after the car has been standing for
some time. Water is heavier than
gasoline and will drain off first.

The so-called four cycles OF a
motor consists Of tile suction. the
compression stroke, the firing stroke
and the exhaust stroke The sue
tion or down stroke of the piston
takes i'm tho charge Of gas. the COM
preston or up stroke OF the piston
congresses the charge. then the
spark is introduced and the ignition
or power stroke takes place After
this the exhaust or up stroke of the
piston frees the cylinder Of the
products of combustion and then
repeats. While the term cycle"
means completion of events. in its
application 70 the gasoline engine
each stroke OF the piston has be
come known as a cycle; hence the
four cycle type engine. meaning
four operations in the delivery Of
one power impulse.

Conel Ansell opened his hearing
with prepared statement, which he
declared his conscience required him
to make before he could proceed. His
attack upon the method and personnel
of the committee was contained in this
document.
Declaring that he was the leading
opponent OF the army court system,
and had been subjected to military
restriction" in his efforts to reform it,
the officer said the fact that the COM
mittee lat this rather late date" had
asked him to appear, was significant
to him. He expressed regret that the

sprung strongly to the defense of the
court-martial system, and the commit
tee would gain nothing by avoiding
a hearing" Of such personal disagree
ments as we're necessarily q part of

1T would seem natural that you, at
the outset would have offered me the

"You have ignored me until the end
