Pale Pastel Taffetas.

The pale pastel taffetas, sometimes
changeable, will challenge any girl to
dare try making them up without lace.
one of the most fascinating models
made of just such materials was In
shot green taffeta, with tiny under
skirt Of lace and small sleeves Of the
same. There were two tunics. The
first, long and somewhat narrow, was
cut shorter than the lace all around,
but on one side specially curved up in
one place to show the lace. 1t was
bound, like the upper draped and
panniered tunic, with sky blue taffeta
and had bowknot finishing the high
est point. At the girdle a little bou-
quet of mauve buds gave that know
ing touch which all high-class dress
makers know how to give.

WHEN AN ENGINE
LOSES ITS "PEP"
Loss Of Compression May Be
Caused by One of Several
Different Ailments.
keep CYLINDER HEAD TIGHT
Be Sure That Spark Plugs Fit Tightly
as Cracked Porcelain Will Permit
Eseape-keep the Engine Free
From Carbon.

Those acquainted with motoring
joys and sorrows know that loss Of
compression is nothing pleasant to
look forward to. It's causes are many
and sometimes hard to find and re-
pair.
Try the compression of each cylin-
der. If ii is weak or If II varies In
the different cylinders repair the
trouble at once. 1t may leak In the
piston rings; it may escape through
leaky valve or petcock or ooze past a
spark plug. If the engine head is de-
tachable 1t may leak past the gasket.
Then, again, you may have a cracked
cylinder, but this is another problem.
Care must be taken to keep the
cylinder head tight, and in tightening
1t evenly all around, for If the gasket
is not held firmly at any point it will
give way and leakage will result.
Heated Oil Is Thin.
The piston rings may have turned
so that the openings are all in line
or you may be using such a light oil
that the engine does not get tight
compression seal. Oil when heated is
very thin. In some cases patented
piston rings will help eliminate the
leakage. If the cylinder is worn oval
there is no remedy except that Of re-
boring 1t. Kerosene will help free the
rings of carbon, but 1t is best to use
it when you are ready to drain off the
old crankcase oil.
During compression the valves
should be tightly closed. A broken
spring or faulty adjustment will pre-
vent their closing, and this will result
In no compression at ALL or in the
case of incorrect timing the trouble
will be noticeable as lack of power
in all cylinders. Carbon under the
valves will prevent them from seating
tightly. The remedy here is to keep
the engine free from carbon, the
valves clean and be sure that the tim
Ing of the valves and the tappet ad-
justment are as set down in your in
struction book.
Worn Cylinder.
When an engine that is clean, prop
erly fabricated and has its valves
ground regularly shows serious loss
Of power the lack Of proper compress
sion may safely be ascribed to the
piston rings having worked into line
or the cylinders having worn to point
where the pistons are unduly loose
With the modern type rings the for
mer is rare fault nowadays, so that
the cause is narrowed down to plain
wear.
These are the chief causes of loss
of compression. The self-starter, the
boon Of the present day motorist, is
accompanied by one rather unfor-
tunate result. The operator who
cranked his engine by hand knew the
feel of the compression and was guild
ed by 1t in determining to a certain
extent the power of his engine. Many
persons seldom crank their engines by
hand and have no guide except the
operation of the cfr to warn them
compression Is falling off. Watch the
compression; 1t will save you money
that otherwise you woulc give to the
repair man.

drill two holes in the dashboard of the
car close to the coil box or any other
place preferred by the car owner.
These holes are made hairpin size, as
shown.
Cut the wire leading to the timer,
twist three turns Of it around the COL
lar button, and place the head of the
collar button in the hole in the fiber.
Do the same with the other end Of
the cut wire, and screw the fiber
against the two holes made for the
hairpin.
When you wish to leave the car,
simply pull out the hairpin and con-
ceal 1t. The thief cannot start the
car, because he will probably overlook
these two small holes.-C. G. Klint in
