HOW TO HEAR HEART BEATS OF YOUR MOTOR/

'It is not a very difficult matter Y construct an instrument that will enaH the owner to listen to the very hetrt beats of his motor and find out what ails it." writes a well-known automobile ex- pert in American Motorist. Continuing, the writer says:
 "One way is to secure a stethoscope such as is used by physicians in listen ing to the beating of the patients heart and the working of his breathing appa- ratus This may be made suitable to the purpose of lengthening the central tube The other end of the device may then be held against any part of the motor without the necessity of removing the receivers from the ears.
 Another sch heme is to secure from the junk man or local telephone company telephone receiver body into the closed end of which is schewed a steel rod three sixteenths inch in diameter and about 10 inches long The rod should be thread ed for about one and one-half inches from one end and nut and lock washer should be used on each side of the re- ceiver so as to hold the steel rod se- clIrely in place. When the rod Is held against the engine and the receiver to the ear all sounds in the motor are 'tete- graphed' up the rod so that each bear ing or wrist pin knock stands out clearly above the noise of the operating parts of the motor
