there IL a noise as II the rear end
we're falling out It Is very hard to
change gears. How do you account
for this?
Answer: There is something that
prevents your engine slowing down as
low as 1t should or that keeps 1t from
running regularly when 1t is slowed
down as low as corresponds to speeds
below miles per hour. Possibly the
adjustment OF the throttle stop at the
carburetor should be changed so as to
permit of smaller opening. but we
suspect that there is other trouble OF
some Kind. which makes the engine
run 3ordly at low speed. 1t may be
that tho id1ing adjustment Of the car
ouretor rs wrong. that there is an sir
leak at the carburetor connection or
elsewhere on the intake side. that
certain of the cylinders leaks gas,
that you are not using enough carbu-
rotor heat or that the plug points are
SGT too close together. The missing Of
the engine Shows up any lost mo-
ton In the gears or universal joint
and causes the noise you speak Of.

Summer Carburetor Readjustments
Let no one deceive himself into think
Ing that the present agitation for
saving gasoline is a scare or idle
talk. for 1t is. in fact, a movement
that should be taken in deadly earnest
and entered into with the utmost
seriousness. Nobody is crying wolf"
but rather solemn economic warning
Is being uttered. Carburetors adjust
cd for overrich mixtures are the great
est preventable cause of fuel waste
In the motor world and investigation
tends to show that nine-tenths of the
carburetors are kept set in this con-
dition. During the winter there is
more excuse for this practice, be-
cause of the difficulty Of cold weather
starting, the fact that many cars still
lack adequate manifold heating de-
vices and means for keeping the cir
rulating water hot and because the
use of cars is largely restricted to
short runs and city service which re-
for mixtures capable of producing
rapid acceleration in traffic. The in
tent of this article is to emphasize the
following points: That the warm
season Is the time in which gasoline
can be saved with the least incon-
are especially ineScusable in warm
weather and that they should not be
allowed to hang over into the sum-
mer. but should be superseded by
leaner adjustments which will he

economical and better in respect to oil
conservation and the reduction of
carhoniTation. Every operator is here

Charging Rate Adjustment
L e. H. asks: Please tell me how
t. set the regulating brush on the
generator Of my Ford sedan Al It is
now, charging current increases with
engine speed and exceeds 20 anperes

Answer: The manufactures do not
intend that the regulation of this gen
orator should be performed by owners.
We believe that 1t is not practicable
to reset the third brush, without re-
moving the generator from the car and
a special wrench Is required to operate
the locking nut which controls the
position of the third-brush holder in
the adjustment slot. The concern that
sold you your car should adjust your
charging rate to the correct value,
free of charge, as matter Of service,
and this should be done at once to
avoid serious injury to your battery,

hciently and properly protected
The inquest was attended by
about thirty witnesses. many OF
whom were residents OF the vicinity
Of the accident They pointed out
the condition at the crossing and the
fact that II is difilcult for automobile
drivers TO see approaching trains
from either direction. one witness
said the railroad had promised 25
years ago that the present grade"
crossing would be abolished and
nothing had been done yet
II appeared the train was seven
teen minutes late and that Mr.. Nc
Alister, who had been collecting the
lanterns placed on road construction
work and was taking them home to
clean. was crossing the place at his
usual time. II the train had not
been late, it was said, he would not

Mr.. McAlister was killed instantly,
being thrown nearly 100 feet. The
automobile was also thrown across
the opposite track and carried along
a hundred feet or more.
