unfit there was play enough to make
sound.
Occasionally poor adjustment Of
gears in the diffegential case will pro-
duce a knock or click. and the sound
is carried along the transmission shaft
and seems TO come from directly be-
meath the floor boards. Som etimes the
torque tube will become loose on the
differential end and make itself heard.
This also is a very elusive sound.
Sounds produced by wear In the
brake rods generally may be traced di-
rectly to the cause, but they are very
puzzling when they first become aud
ible.
OF course, there are hundred and
one varieties of squeaks and rattles
which come from loose parts of the
chassis, either from the bolts which
fasten do IN the body becoming loose
or perhaps lost altogether, or from
some mechanical defect or oversight
which allaws pay between the parts
when the car is running. A very an
noying squeak in taxieab recently
was found to be due to the door catch.

livestock raisers, miners, etc, are the
only producers Of actual value, and we
cannot obtain from them more than
they receive.
These producers are now receiving 80
per cent less for their efforts than they
received year ago. To show how far
reaching this is will quote from a
competent authority who says that the
country in 1919 was $T5.00o.o0 900, of
which s25 DOC. 600 900 was received by
farmers, etc, and the other $50 ,0c0, ,o00,-

Noises i'm Motor

OF the West Side Y. NJ. c. A. automobile
pchooIa discusses motor mysteries'' in
the article herewith.
Have you motor mystery? Is there
knock, or click, or rattle, or squeak
as elusive as the ghost in an ancestral
mansion? Something that you hunted
for for weeks, and which, like Paddy's
aes, when you put your finger on it
wasn't there7 Nearly every automo-
bile has something of this nature, and
usually the cause thereof is discovered
only by accident.
Very rarely is the trouble found at
the place from which the sound seems
to emanate. OF course, q knock in the
engine Ia readily traced to that source,
because It will not be heard at all
times, but only under certain engine
conditions However, even every knock

out what "gas knock" is.
When the knock is caused by an ex-
cess Of carbon it stops wien the carbon
Is removed. and is not heard until
there is further accumu alton of
carbon within the cylinder. If it comes
from a loose bearing or piston side
slap or some other mechanical defect,
correction OF the trouble ends the
knock. But many cars have a knock
which cannot be located, and the engi-
neers are mystifed.
In few cases Of supposed gas knock,
,t was found to De due to too high com
preston. Most engines are designed
for g compression as high as the en-
gire will stand without causing pre-

raises the compression and produces
knock. Of course, the only remedy for
this Is to decrease the compression by
increasing the dimensions of the com
bustion chamber, by using thickex
gasket under the cylinder block and
adjusting the valve push rods accord
ingly.
More elusive, however, are the clicks
and knocks and other noises which
come from beneath the foor boards.
Very often a noise Of this sort start
ing in the rear wheel or the differen-
tial, will sound as though it were di-
rectly beneath your feet, and 1t starts
you looking over the change speed gear
case and clutch or forward universal.
When you can find nothing the matter
it really looks as IL it were the work of
spirits.
One car had a click, distinguishable
when the car started or stopped, which
after a long time was traced to the
device by which the rear wheel was
fastened to the axle. There had been
wear so slight that it could not be
seen and yet enough TO produce very
decided click, and the cause was ac-
cidentally discovered by touching the
part when the car WAS started.
Another similar case was where the

exception Of 1918, when our factories
we're turning out implements of war.
Another surprising fact is that the
number of cars eliminated each year
usually equals the production of the
sixth previous year, and is further
emphasized by the fact that the pro-
duction of the intervening five years
invariably is equivalent to the total
registration of automobiles in the
United States For instance, the Fro.
duction of 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919 and
1920 is equivalent to the registration

or 1920, and che production for 1915,
1915, 1917. 1918 and 1919 Ia equivale at
to the registration for 1919.
For 1921 honestly expect that every
dealer selling o product of merit can
equal his 1920 business in the number
of cars delivered. Whether his income
Is the same depends upon his merchan-
dizing policy and his business policy.

SUMMER HIGH SCHOOL
PLANS ARE ARRANGED
Board Adopts Devices for Ac-
conmodating Pupils.

Various devices. none OF them satis-
factory, were adopted toward accom-
modating summer high school pupils
yesterday at a meeting of the Board of
Education, sitting as committee of
the whole.
The only reason high school pupils
take summer courses at all is that city
school buildings are so inadequate that
some pupils have fallen behind the high
school curriculum because there were
not enough class rooms to accommodate
them.
Edward Williams. principal of the
Theodore Roosevelt High School In The
Bronx. told the meeting yesterday that
some of the pupils of his school receive
instruction in two public schools which
are two miles away from the high school
and four miles away from each other.
1t was decided also yesterday to dis
continue summer courses next year un-
less they can be given without charge
for the instruction. Many high school
pupils now pay fee of s. TO help cover
the salaries of their teachers.
