RESTRICTIONS MAY
BE LIFTED ON AUTOS

LONDON, July 5.-The automo-
bile section of the American Cham
Der of Commerce in London has
made representations to the British
Board of Trade with the view of
having the import restrictions on
American motor cars further relax
ed if not entirely removed. At pres
ent the importation of motor vehi-
cles and parts thereof is limited to
so percent of the 1913 imports up
to September /, 1919. in proportion
ate monthly quantities.
Sir Aukland Geddes. President of
the Board of Trade. informed the au-
tomobile importers that no increase
in imports could be allowed at pres.

ent owing to the necessity of guard
ing the future OF sterling exchange
on America.
Sir Aukland said that the Board
of Trade could not consider any one
trade or industry by itself. but must
look at everything with view to
the best interests of the nation.
From this point OF view the matter
of maintaining Great Britain's fl
nancial position and therefore the
position of her exchanges was the
essential consideration.
The American Chamber of Com
merce here announces, hCwever, that
the government has promised to re-
view the entire import and export po.

Board of Trade has agreed to CON

PARIS.-Holland has scored in the

the Germans in their retreat last

That clever magazine. Automotive
Industries. is responsible for the
statement that Motor Transport Corp
officials have stated definitely that
no army automobiles will be offered
for sale TO the general public at bar
gain prices. The reports after sign
ing the armistice that eX-war cars
will be sold as low as $500 are,
therefore, baseless.,
Many cars and trucks no doubt will
be sold, but will probably be fit only
for the scrap heap.
We have been often asked why the
hoods of many cars become dull in
color in so short while after pUr-
chase. One reason is the too-gen-
erous use of oil and paste polishes.
This has been apty termed killing
the car with kindness"
The hoods of motor cars become
very hot at times, and this condi-
tion has a tendency practically to fry
any oily polish that may have been
recently applied. Therefore. owners
should be careful TO leave no grease
on the hoods OF their cars after
cleaning.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS
Conducted by {. }. Warwick,
National Auto College.

Q. Can you make any suggestions
as TO what might be the trouble with
an Olds Six that misfires and pops
back? Three cylinders will not fire
at any speed. Also the motor is stiT
and hard to crank.
A. 1t is rather difficult TO diagnose
trouble without seeing the action of
the car, but we should judge from
your description that an out inlet and
perhaps an exhaust valve. too. are not
seating properly: the spark plug
wires may be crossed the distribu-
tor head may be shOoted, or. the
spark plug wires may be grounded
before reaching the plugs. We are
inclined to think your troubles will
be located in the valves. On account
OF the motor misfriug on three cylin-
ders the oil in the crank case con-
tains q good deal of gasoline. Drain
it out and NIL il with new oil.
Q. / have an Overland with
Stewart vacuum system. and in
climbing n grade the carburetor
seems to run out OF gas. Where
should | look for trouble?
A See that the feed line from the
tank TO the vacuum is not partly
stopped by sediment. that both con
nections on the feed line are air
tight. that the vent hold in the filler
cap is open, that all connection on
the vacuum tank are tight. that the
feed line from vacuum TO the Carbu-
rotor is free, and also that the sedi-
ment bowl and screen where the gas
passes into the float chamber through
the float valve is cieal-from dirt.

He was conscious for little time after being wounded, and lived for short time after lapsing into un- consciousness. He refused to allow wounded comrade to attempt drag ging him out from under fire, but told him to save himself.
