NOISY VALVE GEAR

Y. writes: The tappets of my four
cylinder engine are very noisy and,
II they are adjusted very tightly, the
engine will not pull The valves are
not Of the overhead type, How can
l get the noise out of them?
Answer: We are az a disadvantage
in not knowing the kind of valve
action In question, and can offer the
following suggestion only: BE sure
that the surfaces that strike together,
to cause opening, are perfectly fiat
and true. If they are not, have them
made so. In case the valve stems
have worn loose in their guides, you
need new guide bushings or valves
with oversize stems fitted to the old
guides, renmed out II the push
rods are loose in their guides this
looseness should be corrected or you
will still have noise from their side
slap" Sometimes, little ferrules
made out Of vulcanized fibre, are
fitted over the valve stem ends, so
that the push rod strikes the less
resonant fibre instead of metal.
When you ADJUST the valves too closes
ly, you doubtless cause them to hold
open, when they should be closed,
and loss Of power necessarily re-
suits.

not enter into any discussion of the

his reference in iull to the subject:
"The rehabilitation OF the military

to such a point that it seems to me
entirely safe now to remove the re-

The Chicago Tribune OF recent date
reports raid conducted under orders
OF the morals inspector of the Chi
oago police force made on places
where liquor is said to have been sold
in violation of the law. 1t quotes
Morals Inspector Jackson as saying
The reason more "cheaters'
were not found is because of the
impending battle between the dry
and wet forces. 1t is my belief
that all saloonkeepers have been
told to be good until the fight is
over.
The places raidcd were charged
with violating various liquor ordi-
nances. The Chicago morals inspect
or evidently knows saloonkeepers. He
presumably has discovered that the
average liquor seller observes only
those laws which he is compelled to
observe and that when danger OF law
enforcement threatens he suddenly
becomes very pious. For many years
saloonkeepers and brewers have talk
ed and preached reform, but their idea
OF the necessity OF it has always beer

pictures of moonshincrs while flying

brought into court.
The War Department is consider
