HOW TO NEUTRALZE
CARBON IN ENGINES
Too Rich Gas Mixture or Too
Much Oil Will Cause Loss Of
Power, Knocks and Pre-fgni-
milton; Some Methods 70 Use.

There are a number Of foreign sub
stances that exert an inimical influence
on the we'll being and efficient opera
ton of the motor car. For instance.
there Is grit, which causes trouble II IL
finds its way into a bearing; there Is
water, which causes endless annoyance
II 1t manages to get into the fuel sys-
TENS. but beyond any Of these foreign
elements and the damage that II does
Is carbon.
Carbon IL a totally undesired BY
product Of the combustion Of gasoline
or other liquid fuels. It forms in the
combustion chamber in a black, SCOT
like formation that gradually becomes
hard until eventually It attains a fIfrty
consistency that practically defies any
thing but main strength and a cold
chisel. The peculiar effect Of carbon is
that It becomes heated with the sue
ecssive explosions and, being incandcs-
cent. it fires the incoming charges Of
gasoline. with the result that preigni-
ton occurs, causing knocks and at
tendant fills. When an engine has be-
come thoroughly carbonized its power
and general performance are cut down
to an almost unbelievable extent.
| But carbon does not confIne fts at
tentions to the combustion chamber
and the top OF the piston. It is not go
modest: It deposits upon the valve
seats and faces. Indeed, its effect here
is, If anything, even more injurious
than In the combustion chamber. In the
valve system the tiny particles Of
flint-hard carbon are forced into the
metal by the constant hammerinE of
these parts They prevent the valves
from seating properly. which means

SOME TIMELY WARNINGS
REGARDING SPRING CARE
OF YOUR AUTOS TIRES

To tho spring motorist who
would reduce to q minimum his
getting out to repair tires in mud,
ETC., few timely warnings are
offered covering the proper care
Of your car shoes.
First: Mako a rigid inspection
of the casing for cuts and small
holes. Fill these with tiro putty.
Tires should be kept water tight
as protection against wet, sluahy
roads and pavements. Water seep-
ing into tires quickly rots and de-
teriorates the cotton fabric and
causes bIowouts. You'll find a
favorite place for rough ruts and
sharp pieces Of rock to jab and
slash tire, is the portion Of cas-
ing between the rim and sidewalk.
To guard against this. keep your
tires we'll inflated.
Second: Keep off tho car tracks.
This is not only dangerous, but
wears ridges in the side of the tire
tread. Avoid nard, sharp ruts,
too.
Third: Do not apply anti skid
devices too tightly. Tires are cut
severely by tire chains that are too
tight. Chains should also be per-
iodicaIly inspected, and when the
cross links become worn, rough or
sharp, should be removed and re-
placed.

NIFTY NEW SERVICE STATIONS IN BOISE

The Continental Oil company, with
headquarters in Salt Lake, have pur-
chased property in the city and will
shortly erect two of the finest. most
attractive "drive-in" gas and oil serv-
ice stations in the state, one to be To-
Gated at the cornor of Sixteenth and
Main. and the other at Seventeenth

Such stations, which will be built
like the picture above, will be benefit
to city, give it a most modern aspect
and be beautiful in design and sur
roundings. The buildings will be sit
uated on the corner, a driveway, with
a lawn and flower beds on each side,
will run from the street across the
walk, up to the station, and then out
into the street, and the building itself
will be permanent and neat and entire

MAXWELL BOOSTER
Government Surveyor Wears
Out One Car Completely, but
Finds One He Can't Break.

Bertram Dyer, c, E., of the depart
ment of commerce of the United
States, who has been employed sur
veying the army camps throughout the
west, is an enthusiastic Maxwell boost
er.
He has a very interesting story to
relate regarding his Maxwell car.
When Dyer reached Salt Lake City on
his way west, the car he was driving
broke down completely and the de
partment wired him $1,000 which he
used to purchase a Maxwell touring
car 1917 molel.
This car he drove on out as far as
Spokane, Wash. He had covered more
than 1000 miles by the time he reached
Cedar Rapids,
Dyer says that he covered the dis
lance on all kinds of roads and all
kinds of weather and averaged rom %
to "a miles or a gallon of SGs. He is
very enthusiasts over his choice of a
car, stating that out of several cars he
has operated in the past few years
the Maxwell mad given him the best
service. Mr.. Der left for Detroit
where he will make special effort to
visit the Maxwell factory before con-
tinuing on TO Washington.

IN place built, like Bethlehem, il
L many cases against the sof
| limestone rock it often happens
that the existence of cave where
the house was to be was great at
traction since it offered a ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
well as specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for q
storeroom. 1t would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion of a house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar of
the Church of the Nativity is now
shown as the very place where this
august event TRANSFERRED; a little re-
cess, shaped like a clam shell, its
floor of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, "Here Jesus Christ Was
Born of the Virgin Mary" A row
of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing jealousy watched matter, each
OF the ancient churches, the Greek,
the Latin, the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more of these
under it's care.
The evidence for this site is 80
strong that most persons accept it as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days of
the apostles. But even if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that we read
of the anthem of the angels, for
surely nothing could draw forth the |
interest of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene of the visit of the shep-
herds is pointed out as on a rough
slope, facing the village, at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem ly-
ng far above on its mountain seat.

What kind of child? Well, what

other braced against the ground, as

Clothes reflect current events and

and feminine.
Let uniforms and mannish dressing
for women, be among past evils. 1t
may be that uniforms are inspiring to
feminine wearers-some people think
sO-but why be inspired to be an efii-

the inspiration that comes from frills
and furbelows? If woman Is beau
