produces such lapses in the power impulses that the car must naturally run with jerky motion. This ap- plies to all cars. whether new or old. Whenever the engine cannot develop enough power to pull its load it fal- ters just as horse would tighten and then permit slack in the traces. He would pull in jerks. You would do the same thing if you were drag ging a heavy load. A carbonized en- zine cannot develop full power with a given throttle setting. Poor igni- ton. poor carburetion, improper valve timing or any abnormal engine condi- tion is likely to reduce the power and make the engine falter. It might even stall.
 But apart from the engine there are other causes of this common trouble. The commonest, is due to too much play between the driving pinion and the large bevel gear or ring gear in the axle. It may. however. be due to excessive play anywhere in the driv- ing system from the clutch to the rear wheels. It might even be caused by end play in the engine crankshaft.
 When the engine is under load and pulling all the parts that move are tight This includes engine parts. clutch, transmission, axle, etc. They tighten like the traces tighten when horse starts to pull and continues to pull. So long as this pulling contin- ues there will be no noise, because the parts are tight against each other. If they were not they could not pull.

 It is obvious that the. liquid with which the battery cells are filled. in the course of time will suffer evapo- ration. This Is doubiy so. because the chemical action of the battery pro- duces certain amount of heat which hastens losses due to inevitable eva poration- To make up for this and keep the liquid up to the proper level. distilled water must be added at reg ular intervals, once a week in warm weather and once in two weeks dur Ing the cold season. Filtered water may be bought at any drug store or garage, or rainwater or water made by melting ice may be used. When the liquid has, been reduced by eva poration. obviously its acid content is just the same. and all that Is nec- essary is to bring it up to the proper level by adding the plain water.
 On the other hand. if any of the liquid has been split or has leaked out of the jars in any way acid has

HERE'S SOME VERY INTERESTING DATA
 ON M|SAL|GN|MENT

Due to the fact that so many tires are put out of service because of faulty wheel alignment, it is the first duty of every motorist having trouble with his treads wearing down pre- maturely to examine his wheels for alignment before blaming the tire. Misalignment of wheels is an ex- tremely common trouble. It is or 6iinarily unnoticed when driving and often times there is no way to detect it except the abnormal wear on the tire. When the wheels are in proper alignment, the front and rear wheels track and there is no skidding.
 To the average driver, one degree misalignment seems of small impor- tance. However, a 30 3 1-2 fabric tire which is 94 inches in circumber- ence will drag 92 feet in running one mile, if it is out of line only one de- gree. X s5 fabric tire which is 113 inches in circumference drags I fractional part of foot further un- der the same conditions in running a mile. In inches 1-16 inch misalign- ment skids the tire 13 feet per mile: 1-S inch 29 feet, per mile; 1-4 inch 57 feet per mile and 1-2 inch, 1l6 feet per mile. The abrasive action of the road would be more severe on the smaller size tires than on larger tres were the weights of the car the same As this is not the case, however, tires of different sizes wear down in rela- tively the same ratio per degree oi misa' 'iEnnlent.

 Whenever an owner opens his b = tery to refill the cells with water he should test the electrolyte with an instrument called the hydrometer syringe This is large glass cylin- der with rubber bulb at one end and small graduated cylinder inside By means of the rubber bulb a quan- tity of the liquid is going up into the cylinder: the small graduated cyl inder floates in this and by its depth indicates the specific gravity of the fluid. This is 1.2s to 1.20 or there abouts. the battery is fully charged; if it falls to 1.15 the battery is dis charged and should be recharged at once.
 The modern car strives to remove much of the work of caring for the battery from the shoulders of the owner. The generator is installed to recharge the battery as the car runs. | This is a great convenience. but 1t may also be incorrectly adjusted and l overcharged and undercharged.

 Here are some interesting f,cts about cord tires. A 30 \ 3 1-2 cord
 tire contains almost 5000 feet of cord
 or over a mile and half A 35 X 5
 has over 3O.000 feet of cord or over
 five and one-half miles. This cord is
 made of long fabric cotton of Tar
 better grade than is used in ordinary cotton goods. In appearance the cord Is similar to medium weight fishing line. Each cord is insulated in rub Der. Each cord or ply is separated from the next by a layer of rubber iu- sulating which gives additional strength.
 Tests in the Miller tire factory al Akron show that the strength oi each cord is approximately fifteer pounds. To this is added the streng- 1 tn given by the rubber. which is ap-
 proximately 3.o00 pounds per square 1 inch. A standard make of s inch cort l tire has 20 to 26 cords per inch. Eighi 1 plies or layers of these cords make l up the carcass. This gives the incl | tire a strength in fabric carcass alon' l in excess of 2400 pounds to th' 1 square inch, irrespective of tn strength given by other parts.

Also remember that even though the generator may be per fectly attuned to the needs of the operator. keeping the battery perfect ly charged all the time, It. will not put water in the cells.

If the battery discharges witk undue rapidity short circuits should be looked for and the wiring system should be inspected al fnvervals for this trouble. The terminals must be kept clean and brighr>and 1t is well to grease them occasionally to pre- vent rust and corrosfon.

There are several different kinds of storage batteries in use today. the familiar lead battery with liquid solu- tion, the same type with dry cleo trolyte and the Edison nickel iron battery being those commonly en- countered. In motor car equipment the lead plate battery with liquid so- lution is the prevailing type.
 The automobile storage. battery is an electro chemical unit containing plates of lead composition, sub mersed in solution of suIphuric acid known as the electrolyte. and having a specific gravity of 1.s0 at 70 degrees F. The plates in the battery are two instinct kinds, known as positive and negative. The current leaves the battery by way of the positive and returns through the negative The battery plates are made in the form of grids. the spaces being filled with special composition of lead. The positive plates have filled consist ing of peroxide of lead. reddish brown in color. The negative plates employ spongy composition of lead. These plates are separated by strips of specially treated wood, or sometimes of other materials. The elements positive and negative plates. l are enclosed in jars of hard rubber, which are filled. or nearly so, with solution of sulphuric acid. Each of these jars is known as cell, and a battery may consist of one. tive, three. four or more cells, according to l the power needed.
 1 The word storage" in connection with the electro chemical battery 1 conveys false impression. The stor- age battery does not store anything
 The actual work of the battery con sists in chemical action between the | acid solution and the active material contained in the plate Now this chemical action is always going on | within the battery, even when it is not actually giving out current. But when the part is called upon to de-
 liver power the violence of the chem
 lcal action Is enormously increased | electrical current is generated ana | dispatched on it's way as directed by | the driver of the car to start se motor. light the lights or what not.
 The chemical action within the
 battery which produces the current
 also produces substance known as
 lead sulphate, which Is the positive
 on the plates. This sulphate is 5 white substance and its presence on
 the plates weakens the action of the battery because it's formation has ac- tually withdrawn acid from the solu- I tion or electrolyte. Thus, if the con dition reaches it's ultimate stage thu l plates will be thick with sulphate de- l posits and all the acid would bs l withdrawn from the electrolyte. leav. ing plain water.

Few automobile price reductions have created more of a sensation than hat recently announced by the Nash factory, which is regarded as one of the most conservative in the entire automotive industry.
 In speaking of price reductions in general and their meaning, Joseph McAleer. manager of the Phoenix Nash company, pointed out the req son for the drop n Nash prices and the significance of this reduction.
 Asked for an explanation of Nash policy, together with it's far reaching effect upon motor car industry through out the country, MT. McAleer sketch ed in brief the history of the Nash organization and the reason for the general excellence of the Nash prod uct
 Charles w. Nash, the founder oi Nash Motors, started his career as a workman with the Flint Road Cart company and the. Durant- -Dort Car riage company of Flint, Mich," he declared This was m the year -ol 1892. In 1910, he was made vice. president and general manager of the company. In 1911. Mir Nash was called to the Buick Motor company as president and general manager. In
 
 when he went with the General Mo- tors company with he same duties As president and general manager of the General Motors he assumed the responsibility for the output of the Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Oak land automobiles and of the G. M. c trucks.
 Tn 1916. MT. Nash organized the Nash Motor company of Kenosha Wis, building the car bearing his name In this car he saw incorpor At- ed all of his wonderful experience in the automobile industry. thinl feel safe in saying that no man 1T the entire industry is more fitted tt 1 build an automobile embodying ev- cry good quality that the purchaser requires throughout the different sec | tions of the country.

DOES YOUR CAR
 BUCK WHILE ON
 i LOWER SPEED?
By E. x. Haust

During the last few weeks the writer has received a great number or inquiries in which owners com- plain that the car bucks or jerks at low speeds This condition is not only uncomfortable for the passen- gers but it is detrimental to the car, The ordinary garage mechanic-I mean the gyp sort-usuaIly cannot make a proper diagnosis and he cures the trouble only after he has taken the car apart. If your car bucks and you cannot determine the cause after reading this article, have competent service man drive the car.
 A car in perfect mechanical condi- ton throughout will throttle down to four or even three miles per hour and pull evenly. but let there be mis- firing and immediately the whole car starts to jerk. The misfiring so re- duces the power of the engine and
Arizona republican., 1921-07-17

the same effect practically may be had by slowing down and suddenly accelerating This may be done by closing the throttle suddenly at 20 miles per hour and then suddenly opening it again.
 At low speeds, however. it does not require great amount of extra play to cause a knock and the objection able bucking. A clutch that has a
 worn plate and weak springs will slap against the flywhee! and give the
 bucking effect. A worn clutch shaft or worn clutch bearing would cause it.
 In the transmission the main shaft must not move back and forth, for if it does it will cause a knock. though it may not cause bucking. due to the
 fact that the movement is not trans
 mitted to the other paTts.
 Universal joints with worn sliding
 members or worn pushing one the spiders will cause bucking. If the
 sliding shaft is not worn play else where in the joint may be taken up and not noticed except as an occa-
 sional knock.
 In the rear axle we have the shafts. the differential and the wheels. The axle shafts may not fit the wheels we'll enough. The play here would be noticed on starting the car and also on throttling down. This is easy to see since the play would have to be taken up before the shafts would turn a wheel. The inner end of an axle shaft usually is splined and when these splines become worn, the play existing may cause bucking. As mentioned before play between the driving pinion and ring gear is a common cause of this trouble. Bear in mind that through the entire driv- ing system some play is allowable; ;t is the excessive play that causes the trouble.
 In the case of wire wheels it often happens that the wheel driving mem- bers become worn, giving the same effect as though there were play in the differentiaL If wire wheel is not tight in place it will slap side
 ways and this knocking often is mis- taken for bucking rear end.

STORAGE BATTERY
 SHOULD GET CARE
Rx PIuu Sparks

The fact that the average motor car owner in America does not un- derstand the construction of his stor- age battery and the care of it needs is responsible for millions of dollars loss every year through premature failure of this important unit of the automobile equipment. The average life of a storage battery in actual service Is Is months. With proper care this length of service can be raised to 20 months or more. Sup pose we try to see why and how.

The closing months of the present
theatrical season brought forth a new
and refreshing star in the realm of
musical comedy. Pat Rooney is not
only the star of Glove Birds" but he
is one of the orbs in musical comedy
at this moment.
Pat Rooney was thirty years molding
the star stuff that pus his name above
the title Of Glove Birds" at the Apollo
Theater, where he has. registered as
one Of the big box office attractions Of
the season.
His recipe for success is brief and
simple. "Never disappoint an audi
ence, appear at even the most unim-
portant benefit, if you are advertised.
and every time you appear give that
audience the very best there is in you.
You owe it to your old friends and
admirers out front, and you owe it to
yourself if you are to gain new hearts
among the unwon public" That's Pat
Rooney.
Pat Rooney of "Love Birds" is Pat
rick the second. Patrick the first, as
the elder generation of playgoers
knows, was Americas premier dancing
comedian in his heyday The elder Pat
Rooney was the highest paid man on
the stage in his time. He is credited
with weekly salary Of $1,000, which
at that time (thirty years ago) was
considered fortune.
On the maternal side also lies 1ine-
age of the theater. Pats mother, who
is still alive, spent thirty-three wears
on the stage. She was one of the orig
inal ballet girls with the "Black Crook. !"
the first show Of it's kind on the Amer
lean stage. Pat I'd, the only son of
this couple, was born on the 4th of
July, 1880, on the lower East Side Of
New York, but unlike some others he
has never waved the flag.
Pats initial stage appearance dates
back to the time he arrived at the age
of eleven. His father was to be starred
by John Cort in production known as
Lord Rooney" but died from pneu-
monia while the piece was in rehearsal.
In order to keep the name Rooney in
the play little Pat was rushed in for a
dancing specially, while a comedian
named Kelly played the part intended
for Pat the first. Upon the termination
OF this engagement Pat I'd made his
debut with his sister Matte at Pastors
Theater in vaudeville act billed as
Two Chips of the Old Block" This
team continued in vaudeville for time
and then assumed the principal roles
in farce comedy entitled "In Atlantic
City"

New Brighton Theater
Will Open on May 16
For Summer Season

The oceanside theatrical season Of
1921 will be ushered in on Monday
afternoon, May 16, when the New
Brighton Theater, Greater New York's
vacation-time playhouse, throws open
it's doors for the summer.
The New Brighton will again be
under the personal management Of
George Robinson, who promises the
major vaudeville policy adopted when
the theater was dedicated. Special en-
phasis is placed uron the fact that
there will be no change in the estab-
lished scale Of prices, no "back to
normally" revision, "pre-war charges"
or any other misleading box-office an
nouncement. Nothing Of the kind is
deemed necessary for the good and suf-
ficient reason that the New Brighton's
regular schedule Of 81 for the best
seats ON week nights and SO cents
maximum for the matinees, was never
altered during the entire period Of
general price boosting.
Inside and out, the theater has ,un-
dergone a process of rejuvenation.
Carpenters and decorators are putting
the finishing touches on the innova-
tions for the auditorium and the re-
gion behind the footlights. Provision
has been made for protecting the
crowds awaiting admittance in inclem-
ent weather. Glass Enclosures now
render the former "open lobby" indie
pendent of the whims of the weather
man.
The vaudeville programs will be
changed weekly, as in previous seasons,
and the performances will commence
promptly at $3.50 in the afternoon and
at $3.50 in the evening, with two con-
certs every Sunday.
