Of car can be improved so per cent.
i! the spring leaves are fabricated. Is
this true? I. X.
The reason the springs are made up
of several leaves instead of solid
one another They should be taken
apart and covered with graphite
grease two or three times year, but
this is too long job for the patience
of most motorists. The next best
thing is to Jack up the frame of the
car so as to take the weight off the
springs and then spread the leaves
apart by means of cold chisel
Grease is then put in by means of a
table knife or oil is squirted in. A
rusty spring is stiff and unyielding

the valves. In present high-speed en-
gines the springs are made quite
strong. so as to close the valves
promptly.
The Fly Wheel.
The purpose of the fywheel on one,
two or four cylinder engines Is pri-
marily to keep the parts moving dur
ing the intervals between power
strokes. But on six eight and twelve
cylinder engines the power is con-
tinuous. SO that a tiywheel is not so
necessary. But it is of extreme i'm
portance in smoothing down the ac-
ton OF the engine. The power starts
with an explosion. which dies away
almost Immediately. Then comes an
other explosion. and so on. This jerky
action would be bad for the mechan-
ism and unpleasant for the passen-
gers. so the fiywhetl smoothes it
down. 1t absorbs the shock when
the explosion starts. holding back on
1t and so reducing its suddenness. But
this sets the flywheel in motion and
gives power to the crankshaft when
the explosion is weak. In other
words the fywheel smooths down the
strong part of the stroke and speeds
up the weak part.
The Manifold.
There are several large pipes. called
inlet manifold leads the fresh gas
from the carbureter to the inlet
valves. The exhaust leads the burned
gas from the exhaust valves to the
muller. The water manifolds con-
meet the water jackets to the pump
and radiator.
The cylinders are set on a part call
ed the crank case. which is usually
made of aluminium. The lower half Is
usually removable. 1t serves to in
close the working parts, keeping out
dirt. 1t also serves as an oil reser-
voir. and for that reason is usually
called the oil base.
Many Other Parts.
There are a large number of other
parts. such as the spark plug, COM
preston relief valves, etc, the names
of which will explain their use. or
which will be described when we have
occasion to refer to them.

To the Automobile Editor:
VIII you kindly explain what is
meant by backfiring? II. D. A.
The term is sometimes loosely used
to indicate a muffler explosion be-
cause the noise comes from the back
part of the car. Properly it should
apply to explosions in the inlet mani
fold. which pass out of and are heard
at the carburetor. These are caused
by a lean mixture. a leaky inlet
valve, short circuit. or wrong wir-
ing. A muff1er explosion is due to
one or more cylinders missing explo-
sions. The unburned gas is pushed

To the Automobile Editor:
Please tell me how the horsepower
Of an engine is figured for purposes
of licensing. T. r. p.
Many states graduate the license
fee for a car according to its horse
power. The rating adopted by the
manufacturer is always used. If
that is not known it may be figured

itself and then multiply that by the

next cylinder to fire sends a flame
into the manifold which sets fire to
the unburned gas and SO an explosion
is produced which comes out through

MURDERER OF
 MRS. CHERNIAK
 HANGS MAY 27

John Kacerackus, of 10S Ogden street, who brutally murdered Mrs. Annie Cherniak, of Milford, at her home on the afternoon of February 1 and then robbed the home of S11O that had been saved to make a mort gage. payment, will pay the death penalty sby hanging May 27. A record was established in the Kacerackus case in New Haven coun- ty yesterday when a grand jury re- turned true bill of first degree mur der against the man at noon. He was put to plea and admitted his guilt. The law in such cases does not allow with the dispensation of all called to court to give an account of the deed.
 To allow this procedure Judge James H. Webb in the Criminal Su- perior Court continued the session until o'clock in the evening, at to be hanged at Wethersfie1d on May 27, less than four months from the date of his crime.
 The murder of Mrs. Cherniak, the mother of seven children, the young est at the time of the crime but a of the public. On the Sunday before the murder, Kacerackus a guest at the christening of the Cherniak baby learned of the $110 mortgage fund. | and was in no need of funds he made his way to Milford two days later and when Mrs. Cherniak refused to give up the money he beat her with shoe last, crushing her skull and then threw her body down in the eel lar of the home.
 His escape from a posse of Milford citizens headed by the police was spectacular, but within 12 hours af- ter he had committed the crime he was arrested by Bridgeport police headed by Detective Sergeant Wash burn in his Ogden street rooming house. Kacerackus never denied the deed\and yesterday pleaded guilty. Before sentence was pronounced Judge Webb and the New Haven County Public Defender endeaVored to get statement from the murderer but to all questions if he had any | thing to say he replied Nothing at all."
 Wethersield will have two hang | ings in May unless some legal step | intervenes, EIwood B. Wade having l been sentenced to die for the murder | of George B. Mott the week before Kacerackus will pay the death pen alty.
