The Auto Quiz

1. Which state has the largest
number Of automobiles and which
the smallest number at the beginning
Of 1920? Which had the greatest
number OF cars per capita.
The state Of New York had 56O,511
cars. the greatest number at the be-
ginning CT 1920, while Nevada had

2. What is a cause Of a carbureter
catching fire when starting the motor
when it is cold?
A cause Of a carbureter catching
fire on starting the motor when it is
cold is hackfiring or splitting thru
the carbureter, due to leaking inlet
valves or an excessively lean fuel
mixture. A flooded carbureter is
more apt to- catch fire from back
firing. When this happens quick
action in shutting off the gasolene
Gus turning over of the motor to
draw the flames inward until the fuel
in the carbureter Is consumed may
be the only means of saving the car
from damage. ... ..-
3. What country was the first
practical eight cylinder automobile
engine built? Where was the first
successful twelve cylinder motor
built?

4.-What should you look for first
when the tire goes flat very slowly,
as over night?
If your tire goes down very slow
1y. look first at the valve inside OF
the valv',, stem. The small rubber
washer within the valve may not seat
properly causing a slow leak. Also
the leak may occur at the point
where the valve stem fits into the
tube. A nut and washer are used to
told this stem firmly to the tube,
and if the nut loosens there is bound
to be an air leak. If the valve is all
right the leak must occur from open
pores, pinch or wrinkle or q small
puncture from exterior source in the
tube.

Questions Of Car
Owners Answered -

what may be the trouble, providing
the ignition is correct?
A motor which requires consider
able cranking to start it after it has
run sufficiently to warm it up and
therefore should insure easy starting
may have an excessively rich fuel
mixture, providing the ignition is
correct. This fuel condition could be
the result Of a too high carbureter
float level or poorly operating air
inlet valve of the carbureter, or
merely wronk adjustment Of the
needle valve.
parently easier going backward than
it will on a forward speed?
A car will go a hill backward ap-
parently easier than forward because
the reverse gearing on most cars is
of a lower ratio than any forward
speed. =

slowly at the end of a hill down
clutch disangaged?
The first thing to do when reach
ing the bottom of hill or grade,
down which the car has been travel
ing with clutch out, transmission
gears engaged and motor idling Is to
accelerate the motor to as great a
speed or one greater than at which
the car is moving, before letting in
the clutch. If the motor is not ac-

engaged a severe shock is given to
the entire driving system, resulting
possibly in damaged clutch, trans

CIRCUS DOES GOOD BUSINESS

Yankee Robinson Show Gets Crowd
Despite Threat of Storm.
The Yankee Robinson circus, one
Of the oldest amusement organiZa-
tons on the road that made it's first
appearance in Marshalltown in
many. many years, Tuesday, was re-
warded with excellent patronage.
There were gray boards present
Tuesday who had seen old "Yank'
Robinson and his show pass with its
horse drawn wagons in the early
morning when they were lads. "Yank"
Robinson was a good Snowman and
a clever comedian, and he made his
first appearance in the ring at each
performance, driving team of
eight or ten pigs, an eight horse hitch
Of Shetlands or team of dogs. The
original "Yank" Robinson has passed
on but his name has been retained.
Dark clouds Tuesday morning ard
threats of rain thruout the day BODIED
Ill for the circus people, who were
booked to appear here earlier in the,
summer but were obliged to remain
on the cars because Of an al1-day
rain. To add to the miseries of show
life in the days of high living cost,
the working force was reduced by
assertions Monday and Tuesday and
local helpers had to be pressed into
service. The cars were not spotted
until 8 o'clock and because Of this
delay and the lack of help the street
parade was dispensed with.
The Robinson tent, which seats
5000 people. was filed to its capacity
for the afternoon performance and
was well filled at night. The show
seemed to give satisfaction, the ami
mails acts especially pleasing. The
feature acts from an artistic point Of
view were the dancing horses and
the trained dogs. In the steel arena.
performances were given with lions,
pumas, polar bears and pigs.
The regulation circus acts were bur:
ordinary with the exception OF a but.
terfly act, which was presented with
all the daring Of the famous Ty-Bells
or the Tasmanian troupe, which
have thrilled Ringing and Barnum
audiences in the past.
The show is not large but the man
agement tries to please the public.
Like everything else, however, the
price Of circus amusement has as
cended and a ticket, with all the &C.
cessories, puts a crimp in the pocket
book.
The circus left early this morning
for Mason City. where it showed to-
day.

The increase in motorcycles in the
county for June and the first week
in July was seven, making total Of
121 in the county today.
To disprove the argument that tho
bicycle is passing and that the
motorcycle. will take it's place, be-
cause of the lack of interest in BIZ
cycles by the boys, $4,000 answers
were received by a large tire con-
Germ two weeks ago, during bicycle
contest they were staging.
Some Of the larger cities in the
east have adopted traffic measures
barring motorcycles from downtown
streets during congested periods Of
the day. Large concerns that have
fleets Of motorcycle delivery cars are
hard hit by the order, and are plan
ming on taking the question to court
and contest whether or not such an
order can be enforced.

CONFLICTING REPORTS MADE
BY BUREAU OF MINES AND
PETROLEUM AGE. A
SEES BILLIONS OF
GALLONS IN SHALE
lnefficiency In Refining Petroleum
Must Be Remedied and Oil Con-
served For Purposes For Which
There Is No Substitute New
Fields Must Be Opened.

Conflicting reports regarding tho
gasolene situation are made by the
United States bureau Of mines and
Petroleum Age, two recognized au-
thorities on crude oil resources. The
bureau. after conducting a nation
wide survey, announces that the
situation is becoming serious and
predicts higher prices. Petroleum
Age holds a more optimistic view.
In view Of the threatened shortage,
the bureau says the time has come
when inefficiency in the refining of
petroleum should not be counten-
anced and crude oil should be ref
served for those purposes to which
it is peculiarly adapted and for
which there are no substitutes.
A report by the bureau brings out
the point that during the first three
months Of tbis year the consumption
OF ga.soleno was so much greater
than production that 3,S7S,O00 barrels
Of reserve oil were used.

view. says that 100, o0O, ooO. 900 barrels
Of crude oil, potential gasolene, are
in the shale Of western mountains.
and that Utah and Colorado hold
vast storehouses Of oil. Wells drilled
in Pennsylvania fifty years ago are
still producing and one well recently
drilled in an oil field in that state
is yielding 1900 barrels day.
Besides realizing possibilities Of
deeper drilling, new fields, outside Of
the United States, have immense
possibilities, in Central America,
Mexico, Canada, Alaska and Siberia.
The o rigin of petroleum, life the
origin of electricity, is undiscovered.
and it is possible that vast quanti-
ties are still being created under
ground.
The origin Of petroleum, like the
that 40 per cent of the oil in the oil
fields has been brought to the sur
face and used, and that less than
twenty years supply still remains in
the ground. Recourse Ito Mexico
must be made eventually, it says, to
meet the. approaching shortage. The
Mexican fields are considered suffi-
cient to meet American needs, for
many years. however. providing no
limitations are placed oh the ex-
ploitation.

Price of Circus
Animals is High
With Other Things

Even wild animals now are higher
priced than ever before. according to
Louis Roth. on whose face numerous
scars mark the power Of teeth and
claws and proclaim his profession of
animal trainer Of the Yankee Robin
son circus.
Tigers are brought from India but
we have been unable to get one for
three years" he said with a voice
scarcely audible above the noise >of
uprooting Of the tent poles and the
grinding Of the heavy wagons bearing
away the show.
Practically all wild animals have
doubled in value. A trained lion is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 and we
pay $4,000 for a green one"
THE lions we used tonight are from
3h to 6,yea.rs old. The average life
is from 20 to 25 years and the animals
are good for acting practically all the
time after or 3 years of age. Their
