USING KEROSENE
IN AUTO ENGINE
Convenient and Reliable Ar
rangement Outlined for Pro-
viding Gasoline.
Another CARBURET0R ADDED
Nc Difficulty Has Been Experienced
With New System, and Greater
Mileage Has Been Obtained
Fuel Cost is Reduced.

Those who have attempted the use
Of kerosene as fuel In automobile en-
gines are aware of the impossibility of
starting on this fuel. and the neces-
sity of providing gasoline for use until
h engine warns up. To provide a
convenient and reliable means of do
Ing this, an additional carburetor, and a
small auxiliary container for gasoline
were fitted to a delivery car, and have
given good results.
Briefly, the installation and opera
ton of the system are as follows: An
other carburetor, similar to the one on
the car, was obtained. The intake
manifold was removed, and was faced
Oft at its dividing point to take the
carburetor fiange. At the center of
the face thus made an inlet hole was
drilled to match the carburetor o%rifice,
n at either side two bolt holes were
tapped to correspond with the holes In
the carburetor flange. At one end of
the main fuel tank, a fiat gasoline res
ervoir, with a capacity of one gallon,
was placed, as the container for the
gasoline supply. 1t was connected to
the extra carburetor installed on the
side of the intake manifold.
The main tank, fuel pipe, and carbu-
rotor control on the steering column
remained unchanged. The control for
the additional carburetor was mounted
on the dash; and consisted of a direct
rod connection to the throttle and a
friction control lever. The adjusting
screws on the throttle valves of both
carburetOrs were set so as to have

these valves closed entirely when the
position To start the engine, the
steering-post control is closed and the
lash control lever is opened. After
starting. the engine Is allowed to warm
up for several minutes, and the steer.
ing post control Is then opened slightly
to allow the main carburetor and inlet
pipe to heat up. When the pipe has
reached its operating temperature Of
no degrees or over, the gasoline carbu-
rotor is shut off entirely, and the steer
lng-post control to the kerosene carbu-
rotor used.
The only attention required is ut the
start once the engine has reached its
operating temperature, the steering
post control Is used entirely. No DIFF
ficulties have been experienced with
system, and better mileage per gallon
has been obtained with kerosene than
with gasoline. The only noticeable
difference was hat the motor does not
throttle quite as low as with gasoline,
and when pulling heavily through sand
or mud with open throttle, some slight
tendency to skip was observable. One
half the fuel cost is saved, and this
Item easily offsets the difference In
running and the cost of installing the
system.
Modern c~arburetors. designed for the
heavier grades of fuel. will work on
kerosene more successfully thin the
other types.-By G. A. Luers in Pop

SEE VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS
Cities Spending Much Money Now
for Recreationai centsrs, Which
Might Have Been Saved.

Memphis, Milwaukee,, indianapolis,
Akron and Hartford have in the course
of the last year doubled their ap-
preparations for Fairgrounds, while
Dayton trebled its appropriation the
year before. Detroit has issued So
100000 in bonds for parks and play
grounds; Portland, Ore, has issued
100000 for the purchase of play
grounds, and Pittsburgh S9S1,OOO for
the same purpose. With the increase
of congestion in the streets of Amer
C cities the business of being a
child becomes more and more hazard
u In this connection the American
City states that 23 children a month,
on an average. were killed in the
streets of New York city during 1920.
Few blocks in the city have provision
for play space. OF the 10 play centers
planned by the Playground association
all but six remained closed because of
lacks of funds. 1t is pointed out that
the policy Of providing accommoda-
tons for play should be adopted in
connection with rebuilding and the
construction Of new buildings.
The time to lay out Fairgrounds and
recreatlonal centers is before the town
has grown to an extent that makes Il
necessary to condemn property for
such purposes. Let there be a proper
ly understood, comprehensive plan fol
lowed In the development of the town
from its start.

ATTENTION TO REAR SPRINGS
Up Grease Cups Provided
for lubrlcating.

Many cars are fitted with rear
springs mounted on seats which oscil-
late. These springs usually have some
means of fabrication. but few owners
take the trouble to turn the grease
cup provided.
While 1t Is not necessary to turn the
cup each day, 1t is a good plan to pay
some attention to this most impor-
tan part. In cantllever suspensions
h center bearing of the spring
should be. well oiled. Usually this
bearing operates on "a small steel shaft
extending III from the frame.
In some cases Il tube running trans
versely of the frame is used. IL no
grease cup Is provided an oil hole is
used.
