BEST WAY TO HANDLE
ENGINE THAT KNOCKS
AND MISSING CYLINDER

Q-When my Buick % attains a
speed of about % m.p.h. it knocks and
pounds, but when it pulls uphill the
knock disappears. Is this caused by
worn wristpins or the main bearings?
when starting in cold weather the
engine misses on one cylinder, but
after driving about 1 mile it fires on
all four. 1t has Schebler model O
carbureter. When the engine is idle it
runse unevenly.--C. J.
IA pound or knock on a hard pull
such as would come in climbing a hill
would indicate loose bearings, loose
rods or loose wristpins, where as these
defects should not show so plainly on
a level road. 1t is probable the bolts
that hold the engine to the frame are
loose. If so, this would permit the
engine to jump around and up and
down sufficiently to cause the pound
mentioned while on level road
whereas on a pull the strain would
hold it in place and besides, the en-
CINE speed being reduced, would not
be such as to cause the engine to leave
its supports to any great extent Go
over every bolt and nut you can find
on the engine and transmission and
set them tight and it is probable the
trouble will be eliminated.
2-Most engines miss for a while in
very cold weather, particularly if the
mixture is at all thin. If this happens
in one particular cylinder, it is likely
to be caused by the valve stem stick
ing through being gummed with oil
or because of weak spring. After
the engine has warmed up a little the
gum will soften and permit the stem
to work. Then, also, after the warmth
has come the parts may have expanded
and thus prevent admission of air
around the valve stem. If one stem is
worn badly, it will admit too much
air and thus rarity the mixture until
heat has expanded the parts Any
unevenness of running when the en-
CINE Is idling may come from either
too rich orNtoo Lean a mixture and or
dinarily calls for carbureter adjust
ment. But you cannot obtain this
correctly unless you have tight valves
and stems, sufficient spring pressure
against the valves, correct ignition
and right timing of both valves and
spark.
All these should be checked up to
know they are correct before a good
adjustment of the carbureter can be
expected. OF course a little good can
be obtained by adjusting the carbu-

LION OR LYNN,
HERE'S TALE OF
A REAL THRILL

London, April 5.-A fight between a
motor car and lion with disastrous
results to the lion, is described by the
East African Standard
Driver Seneque, while travelling In a
six-cylinder Buick car at fair speed
through the suburbs of Nairob toward
Ruiru at 1880 p. m, suddenly noticed
a commotion in the bush. and the next
instant the light cast by his lamp dis
closed to his astonished gaze the
cleaning eyes of a lion.
The driver was unarmed, and he
therefore opened up his engine with
the intention of having a run for his
life. The lion loped alongside for some
distance, then took a great leap and
landed squarely in front of the car
which was travelling at the rate of
forty miles an hour.
1t was now or never The driver
held firm to his course. and the in
eyitable shock came second later
The heavy car shivered, but passed
safely over the body of the lion and
ran about fifty yards beyond.
Driver Seneque determined to give
the animal no chance to recover. He
reversed the gear and drove straight
over the lion again. All growing
ceased. The great beast was dead.
The car received but little damage.

WHAT MAKES 4 CAR; 4
BOISE DEALER GIVES
VERSION IN DETAIL
Power, Reliability, Upholster-
ing That Gives Bodily and
Mental relaxation and
"Roadability."

, Comfort in the motor car has
been thing of comparatively slow
growth says the Boise distributor
OF Studebaker cars. ''In the days
when motor cars were machines" in
stead of vehicles de luxe, the com
Tort OF driver and passengers was
less than secondary consideration
Inc mechanics of the conglomeration
OF steel and glass and wire were the
first thought, always. Now, however,
with the motive parts developed to a
point where they no longer are a
source of worry, car owners have be-
come more appreciative of what car
designers are trying to do for their
complete comfort and are constantly
demanding more along these lines
But depth of upholstery and re-
silent springs are not the only es-
sentials to comfort. True, they do
make for bodily comfort-are neces-
sarN to an enjoyable ride-but there
are numerous other things no less
important to complete relaxation.
POWER FIRST OF ALL.
Power. first of ALL heads the list
Of what l consider the most impor-
tant OF all motor car essentials that
make for comfort. Power to take you
there and back, without continual
shifting of gears and mechanical diff
ficulties. I'm frank to admit that
most amy car nowadays will bowl
along easily and pleasantly on good
roada-but for complete comfort and
absolute freedom from worry. the mo-
torist wants an automobile with the
reserve power to meet all the emer-
gencics of touring. The driver who
has to give up his whole time to the
operation of his car, with his hand
constantly on the gear shift lever, GER
tainly cannot remain in q very hap
py state of mind. He'd be more COM

"'What is wanted to make the driv-
err as comfortable as the other MEM
bers of the party is road cara car
you can drive with but two fingers
on the wheel and glide along at any
speed, over any road or up any hill
without fussing around with pedals
and levers. That's why we talk so
much about Studebaker reliability
Perfect distribution of weight over
entire chassis frame, balanced light
ness, with great power resources,
make a Studebaker car comfortable
and restful-riding under every con-
dition of service.
"A comfortable car must have real
beauty in every line with finish that
is rich and permanent. Not that ex-
terror design and finish give the
body rest-they don't. But they do
impel pride in ownership-and that
means mental comfort. Narrow
doors are inconvenient and hence they
mar the comfort of passengers. And
it is decidedly uncomfortable if one
has TO stretch far from drivers seat to
manipulate instruments on dash. A
short wheelbase and lack of scientific
body design means insufficient leg
room. And how can passengers or
driver be comfortable with no place to
put their feet?
