KNOTTY PROBLEMS

Questions.

l. II there is no ammeter in the
electric system of your car, or if
the ammeter is not registering cor
rectly, how can you tell if the bat
terry is being discharged by a short
circuit in the system?
2. When does oil work out of the
rear axle at the right rear wheel
more than 1t does at the left
wheel?
3. Can a knock be located in a
connecting rod il the rod bearings
are not loose?
4. Is 1t possible for a cylinder to
misfire If there is both spark and
compression within it?
b. What could cause constant dis
charging of a storage battery?
6. For what purpose are racing
car bodies bullet shaped or pointed
at the rear?
I. What is piston slap?"
8. Why is such heavy wire used
In connecting the starting motor to
the storage battery, while light
wire is used from generator to
battery?
3. What is meant by a ''liver axle

meant by the term floating" as
applied to semi, three-quarter and
full hoating types of axles?
10. Is the ratio of fourth speed
gears in the four speed transmits
sion higher than that Of third
speed in the three speed transmits

l. Nothing will so completely dis

short time as a short circuit in the

2. OIL works out of the rear axle
at the right wheel more often than
at the left wheel because of the
oval shape in which roads are con-

toward curb or ditch at Seach side.
The car being driven at the right

BOSTON, March 5.-The full bench

that the strike was to attain collective

the object was to compel abandonment

National banks received a call from
the Richmoud Federal Reserve Bank
this morning for the payment by
Tuesday of next week of 33ia per
cent of the proceeds of the sale of
February 10 Treasury certificates re-

That the needs of the Treasury can

the demand being made on the banks
and may be taken as indicative of
the relatively smaller income tax re-

Local Security Market.
Orders We're extremely light on the
local stock eNChange-that is. at
anything like the bid prices. The
total sales of the session included
but four $500 IL per cent notes of
the Washington Gas Company, and
these sold at 1Go12.
The bid price for Railway preferred
was advanced to 80. and the asking
figure to 81, Indicating the belief that
the company is now in a position
where tn" } per cent annual dividend
is virtually assured.
The strength in the stock may also
be partially ascribed to the belief
that ultimately a merger will be
worked out.
No disappointment.
Wall street was not disappointed
with the address of President Hard
ing. That it brought no sharp re-
spOnse in the stock market was due
TO the numerous problems which the
administration understands it will be
called upon to solve. If these prob
lems We're not existent the address
would have eXerted a good effect.
