position of a telegraph company Of
ficial who is erecting the wires for the
telegraph between New York and San
Francisco After erecting mile upon
mile OF poles and copper wire. costing
about rs cents a pound, he finds that
he now has a way to carry the current
from the one city to the other. but
he must have some way to get the
current back again, as the electricity
must have complete circuit and get
back to the source. Naturally he
would try to find some way to have
the current return other than the ex-
pensive wire. Looking upon the earth
he wonders if 1t with its tremendous
size will not be able to carry the cur
rent back as we'll as the tiny wire. He
therefore runs the wire into the
ground at one city and lets the cur
rent go through the earth to the other
city, where another wire is put into
the ground to catch and collect 1T.
This he finds to work well. He says
that he has grounded the wire, or that
he returns through the ground.
In the same way the auto manufac-
turer. wishing to simplify the wiring
| for the owner. notices the big mass
Of iron and aluminium in the engine
and frame, and decides to use this
| metal for the return of the current, as
the telegrapher did the earth. AL
though this returning current never
| gets into the ground, we borrow the

Thus. there Is a sort Of struggle taking
place between the two forces. and II

there will be q violent knocking.
From this we see that when climb
ing a hill. as the car slows down. the
spark should be slowly retarded, but
should you shift to second, the spark
should Immediately be advanced again.
Refer for a moment to Figure 4.
Let us imagine that every time the
arm (A), which revolves in the direc-
ton OF the arrow. hits the point B,
that we would get spark in the
cylinder Of the engine. II now the
point B be moved little in the d.
rection opposite to that indicated by
the arrow, the arm A will hit 1t earlier,
with the result that the spark would
come earlier, or be advanced.
On the other hano, If the point B
be moved little In the same direc
| ton as the arm A IL revolving, cantact
will be made later, and we would get
later spark, or, in other words. the
spark would be retarded.

the writer has seen many starting
motors torn to pieces and ruined be-
cause the operator failed to retard the
spark when starting.
So much for the point where the
spark must come when starting. Where
must 1t come when running?
Again the great speed of the engine
comes into account. We saw from
previous lesson (on the valve timing)
that q stroke of the engine often takes
place in LAO Of second Now 1t
takes a little time for all OF the gases
to ignite, SO that you can readily see
that at the above great speed, II the
spark comes late, all Of the power
will not be gotten out of the explosion,

the gases. For this reason when the
engine Is running the spark is MADE
to come before the piston has reached
top center, as shown in Figure 2, or,
in other words, the spark is advanced.
Thus when the piston has reached
| top center all of the gases will have
had time to ignite and we get the full
force Of the explosion.
| From the above we see that the
faster the engine revolves, the more
the spark must be advanced. while as
the engine slows down, the spark must
be retarded.

CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess Of HydrochIoric Acid Sours
the Food and Forms Gases.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays. or rather, ferments
the same as food left in the open air,
says noted authority. He also tells
us that Indigestion is caused by Hy-
per-acidity, meaning there is an eX-
cess of hydrochloric acid in the stom-
ach which prevents complete diges-
ton and starts food fermentation.
Thus everything eaten sours in the
stomach much like garbage sours in a
can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomach like toy
balloon. Then we feel heavy, lumpy
misery in the chest, we belch up gas,
we eructate sour food or have heart
burn, flatulence, Water-brash or
nasuea.
He tells us to lay aside all diges-
tive aids and instead, get from any
pharmacy four ounces Of Jad Salts
and take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast and drink
while it is effervescing, and futher-
more, to continue this for a week.
While relief follows the first dose, it
is important to neutralize the acidity

sodium phosphate. This harmless

sults.-Adv.

crank shaft, however, the crank smart
would be made to revolve In q dtrec-
ton opposite to the direction shown
by the arrow. AS the pressure on the
piston at the moment of explosion Is
in the neighborhood OF three-fourths
of a ton, you can see that II a person
were cranking the engine In the d1rec-
ton of the arrow and the crank were
then suddenly driven in the opposite
direction, or backward, his arm would
receive so severe blow, or kick, as
TO almost surely be broken. For this
reason when cranking the engine the
spark control lever must be set so
that the spark will come after the pis-
ton has passed the dead center, or
when II is in the position shown by
Figure 8. AS when so set we have
made the spark come later In REFER
ence to piston travel, we say the spark
has been retarded.
You cannot be too careful about
having the spark retarded when crank
ing your engine. You, no doubt, have
many friends who have had their
arms broken in this way. Probably 30
per cent of the serious back kicks
come after a driver has stalled his
car, as when this occurs he Is liable
to be excited because he is delaying
traffic, or he may feel embarrassed,
so that he forgets to take the precau'
tons he ordinarily would.
To digress a moment, I might say
here that many serious accidents have
happened to people who cranked the
engine Of their car while their trans
mission gears were not in neutral

dents have happened after the driver

Tho Advanced and Retarded Spark.
Practically all ignition systems have
a means for advancing or retarding
the spark. Let us look into this In
detail, as even people who have been
driving for some time do not under
stand this and SO do not use their
spark control lever properly.
