Answer. to Last week.. Questions.

l. The positive plates of a storage
battery are Il reddish brown or choc-
olate color. while the negative plates
| are gray or lead color.
3 Here is the best way to bring
| a car to stop gently and without
sliding the rear tires. 1t is particu-
| iarly valuable to new drivers. When
some distance from the spot on which
you wish to stop disengage the clutch
| and apply the brakes gently to bring
the car under control. SO that if you
wished to. you could stop ten feet
sooner. Then release the brakes
slightly and allow the car to drift
| to the spot. Apply more pressure to
the brakes, bringing the car TO
stop at the desired spot.
3. The piston goes up twice and
down twice in the cylinder to each
explosion. This is called a cycle. The
hrst movement of the piston is down.
which is called the suction stroke.
and draws in the gasoline vapors.
The second stroke is up and COM
| presses the vapor in the cylinder.
This is the compression stroke. The
| third, or the power stroke. is down.
exploded, which furnishes the energy
| to drive the car. The fourth stroke
! is up, forcing out the burned gases.
This is the exhaust stroke.
4. Noisy rear axles may be caused
by a bent axle housing. making it
| impossible for the gears to run quiet
| ly; by gears worn by long use or
becoming dry through lack of lubri-
/ cation; by Clipped teeth in the gears
and by too much play in the gears
and bearings
5. A good cleanser for greasy or
dull enameled parts is made of two
and one-half gallons of lukewarm
water to pound of washington soda
crystals. Apply briskly with d soft
rag. Polish with flannel. Before using
the solution he that all the cYyS-
tails are dissolved. This solution will
| ruin varnish and paint surfaces. Use
only where bare enamel is exposed.
| 6. Boiling water merely destroys the
germs in it and does not eliminate the
| iron and other chemicals in it which
may be injurious if this water is used
| in a storage battery. Distilled water
Is the only kind which should be used
| in battery.
Z Poor oil circulation in winter
! may be caused by using too heavy
grade of oil: by particles of dirt in
| the oil clogging the oil lines or pump
| and by water in the oil. which may
| freeze and stop the pump from oper-
| ating. If the latter is the case drain
| the crankcase and refill with pure oil.
| This should be done frequently dur
| ing the winter to avoid trouble.
| 8. A battery that is to remain idle
| for several months should be filled
with distilled water and completely
charged. 1t should then be recharged
| once every two months.
9. Before driving down hill decide
! how you will descend. that is whether
you can control the car with the
brakes alone or whether it will be
necessary to use the second or first
gears for their braking power. Then
if the grade is quite long it is best to
alternate with the foot and emergency
brakes. as a too-long application of
either one will cause it to heat and
burn the brake friction material.

New York is trying to compete for

York magistrates had been puzzled to
account for a large number of motor
lists brought before them, the total
reaching 200 a day. The majority of
cases were dismissed because there
appeared no ground for the issue of
the summons. On inquiries being in

"a world revolution will not help us

Of our former enemies would prevent
it."

'The United States has but little in

Germany can count upon that coun-

SOFIA, Bulgaria, October 21,-The
purpose OF Premier Stamboulisky's
trip to England is to try to induce
the British government, TN conjunc-
ton with the other entente powers.
to modify the peace treaty clauses
relating to finances and the military
changes which are not considered
practicable in Bulgaria.
France has made concessions con-
corning the payment Of an old loan.
It is believed that England will do
the same and will not refuse to grant
a new Loan, which is badly needed.
Premier Stambouliaky will plead
for the enforcement Of the minority
clause in the Balkans and will try
to bring about an understanding be-
tween all the various states. He will
meet Take Jonescu, the Rumanian
foreign minister, who is an ardent
supporter Of such a project, and also
