Plan To Have international Day To
Commemorate Dead Heroes.
ST. Paul, Mimi, Jue 15.-An inter-
national Memorial Day., to common
crate the sacrifices of the World
War, has just received the endorse
ment of Cabot Ward, vice command :
er of the Inter Allied Federation OF
Veterans. In letter to j. w. Ham :
ilton of st. Paul. who is urging that
May 80 be made day of interna-
tional observance, Mr.. Ward said ne
was sure his endorsement would be
iterated by ColoneI Crosfield. head
of the British Legion and Charles
lied Veterans.
Mr.. Ward refers to the resolution
adopted by the Inter-Allied Veterans
that the organizations members
should do all in their power to Sc
cure that other nations adopt May
80 as Memorial day for those who
gave their lives for their country in
the late war"
Mr.. Hamilton also has letters from
prominent Europeans approving the
idea, which brought forth letter
from Stephane Luzanne. editor of the
Matin, Paris, with an editorial favor
ing the proposal. Senator Edward
Wavrinsky of Stockholm, member
of the Interparliamentary Union, said
Swedish papers will support the
movement"
One point in Mr.. Hamilton's plan
which he stresses is that on May 80
"all the world would halt its activi-
ties for five minutes at noon, while
silent tribute would be paid to the
hero dead" Mr.. Hamilton now is
seeking the aid of Southern Sena-
tors to have the Memorial Day In
the Northern states made national
He hopes to accomplish this through
action by congress.

such a saving is indeed substantial
and it becomes even more impressive
to the buyer who carefully compares
not only the present prices of cars
but also their relative values as indi-
Gated by the position and reputation
they have held for years.
1--WE like nothing better than to have
such comparisons made because we
know that in that way the quality,
ability and distinction Of the super.
six is best appreciated
THE rapid growth of sales shows
that such comparisons are being pretty
generally made these days, too. Many
buyers are coming in who had pre-
viously decided to postpone action for
some time. The wonderful value in
the super-six open model at $1805 and
the fact that the two best motoring
months of the year are still to come

Dear Barney Oldfield-I would like
to know If motor driven tire pump
could be mounted on the engine and
where.-O. II.
You can have such a pump supplied
and installed by any garage.
Dear Barney Oldfield-My car has
had slight knock ever since / have
had it. 1t is just one particular sound
which am not able to find. It sounds
as if the knock moves around from
different points Of the engine.-B.
L. r. s
In a comparatively new car, think
you will find in nine out Of ten cases
that it is timing gear knock. There
is no particular harm done, but it is
annoying. It means q new camshaft
or crankshaft gear is needed. You
can very easily tell if it is spark
knock by altering the spark timing.
Bear in mind that piston slap gives
a somewhat similar sound, but if you
have had the piston out you ought to
know about that.

Willys-Overland Finds Steady
Increase in Testimonials
Sent to Factory.

1t is sometimes said that the modern
automobile owner has lived by the

and boasts of the performance Of his
car. Those who hold to this view are
inclined to say, ooh! the automobile
| owner of today just drives along with
out thought as to what his car is

But manufacturers experience does
not show that this is the true situa-

road fares. are more prone today than
ever before to keep careful record of
the costs of operation of their cars.
And they are also forming the habit Of

CYLINDER AND PISTON
TROUBLES.

In last weeks article we discussed
the various methods of repairing
worn cylinders. BY far the most ac-
curate, though not the cheapest, is
that of regrinding. By this process a
grinding wheel revolving rapidly is
worked in the cylinder and true
bore obtained. This is not to say that
errors cannot be made by this process,
for it is necessary here as in the
others to keep the cylinder absolutely
rigid and the cutting tool likewise.
After each trimming off Of metal, it
is necessary to measure the bore, so
that the work requires a man who is
accustomed to using micrometer.
ing that have visited, | found that
the average refinishing oversizes the
cylinders about O3O inch. In other
words. it is necessary to oversize that
much before true round bore can be
obtained. Some cylinders have as
much as one-fourth inch of metal TAX
en- out of each bore, but that is about
the limit. Some cylinders haven't that
much to give up without getting peri
lousy close to the water, jackets.
Necessary to Measure Cylinders.
1t is difficult to tell without taking

if he can say that refinishing is nee
essary unless the cylinders are taken
off and measured Some repairmen
calling themselves experts" will tell
you all about the cylinders and pistons
without making an examination. All
] can say for them is that they are
wonders and shouldn't waste their time
in the repair business. Refinishing
should not be resorted to unless neces-
sary and then little more money
should be spent and regrinding re-
quested This work will cost about
$50 to $40 for four-cylinder motor
including new pistons, pins and rings.
A six viii run $50 to 800 and an eight
slightly over $1OO.
Some peculiar troubles are met with
in the fitting of the pistons and pins.
For instance, some shops viii fit two

few hundred miles and then the shop
has an abb.
Handle Piston With Care.
In the first place a piston must be
handled with as much care as watch
If you drop a piston on a floor, you
distort it. Take a perfectly round
piston, strike it evenly with hammer
or even insert very tight piston pin
and then remove it, and what have
you? A distorted piston. If you
don't believe it, try it. A piston should
be measured with micrometer just
as accurately as you would the cylin.
der bore. It must not be out of round
anywhere along it's length. After fit
ting piston pins you might find it nee
essary to re-true the piston by light
tapping with soft hammer.
You cannot tighten a piston in q
wise and run reamer through the
pin bosses in any fashion at ALL The
bosses must be absolutely lined up and
perfectly parallel with the head of the
piston. If they are not you cock
the pin and hence the connecting rod
and in short time you get scored
piston, cylinders, and. a knock In that
rod bearing.
Piston Pins Must Be Snug.
Piston pins must be snug fit to
start with, but not tight fit, such
as would require the pin to be ham,
mered into position. If you cannot
force the pin in place by a push or
two with the heel Of your hand, you
have to re-fit.
The piston pins sold these days are
various sorts. All pins are case-hard-
ened, but you cannot tell by looking
at pin if it is properly hardened.
A soft" pin will wear very rapidly
and begin to knock. The place where
you buy the pins must be known for
quality. The service station or a
piston pin manufacturer
should be the place to buy, because
there are some concerns that buy up
lots of Seconds" from the factories
and sell them as perfect pins. The
shop test by filing gives no indication
of the quality of the piston pin. It
will of course be hard. but you have
no means of knowing the depth Of the
There is still another important
factor regarding pistons and cylinders.
When assembling the pistons must be
aligned with the crankcase and the con-
meeting rods. If the piston vertical
center does not parallel the rod center
then trouble will result. Also the rod
must be perfectly straight. There are
effective devices which any shop can
use to line up or square" the pistons
with the base of the crankcase. A me-
chanic square can be used just as well.

Women are going to assume lead
ership, particularly in Europe, for
the next hundred years" says Prof.
Girault This does not mean that
civilization is becoming effeminate,
nor does it result simply from the
fact that women will be numerically
stronger. But there are two many
women for the manageable males
and hundreds of thousands of them
are being compelled to make ill-as-
sorted marriages in which the man,
in nearly every case. is the weaker
partner.
In that way women are gaining
the ascendency and it is a certainty
chat any society ruled by women will
lack intellectual courage, logic and
initiative Women married to men
who are their interiors will become
embittered with life. Their expert
ence will discourage other women
who are thinking of marriage. Pres
