ENGINE TEASERS
HAVE POOR CARS
Certain Type Of Drivers Cannot
Resist Temptation to Fool
With Carburetor.
GRIND VALVES WHEN NEEDED
Compound Must Be Carefully Wiped
Out at Finish, Otherwise Cylinder
Walls Will Be Worn Out
Plug Up Openings.

There is a certain type of motorcal
driver who. whenever the engine
doesn't perform properly, immediately
begins to adjust the carburetor. An
other type files a dollars worth OF
metal from the interrupter points. And
still another wants to grind the valves
every other day.
These fellows are engine teasers
and no matter what IS wrong with the
car they think adjusting the carbure-
tor, grinding the valves or fling the
interrupter points will make the en-
CINE we'll again. Consequently they
usually have a faulty car-because
they persist in teasing it constantly.
Don't Grind Valves.
Don't grind your valves-until they
actually need it. Don't be forever
fussing with the engine. Don't mag
inc that every little trouble has it's
origin in the engine-it will get you
into trouble if you do.
I have seen cases where valves have
been ground so deep in the casting
that the seat was at the bottom of a
well" and when the valve was
pushed open there was very little
space for the passage of exhaust
gases, writes B. w. Cooke, president
of the Coyne Trade and Engineering
school. in an exchange. A little more
grinding would have worn through the
castings and left no seat at all.
If the valve sets in the cylinder
care should be taken to plug up all
openings leading to the cylinder so
that no grinding compound may work
inside. Also, the grinding compound
must be carefully wiped Out at the fin
ish-otherwise it will keep on grind
ing and wear out the cylinder walls.
1t is well to check up the push rod
clearance before and after valve
grinding; before, because there may
not be enough clearance to allow the
valve to seat, thus causing the leak
which appears to make grinding nee
assary-afterward. because there may
be a slight lowering of the valve, MAX
ing adjustment necessary.
Grinding Is Harmful.
Before grinding make sure that the
needs it and do not grind any
more than is necessary. After you
nave ground enough to give a tight
seat all further effort expended is
In addition, it is harmful to
he engine.
Therefore grind your valves only
when they need it, but do not grind
hem on general principles or longer
han to make a perfect seat. And
be an engine teaser.

You Auto Know

That some cars have a ten
dency to leak oil from the right
hand wheel housing, even when
no excess of lubricant Is APP
parent anywhere else. This is
due to the fact that the right
side Of the car is usually at q
lower level than the left, espe-
cially when driving along coun-
try roads where macadam is de
signed to shed water into the
bitches on either side. AS a re-
suit of this leakage, the right
hand brake band is often COW
cred with a thin film Of oil which
prevents it from functioning
properly.
A simple remedy for this is to
wrap a long strip of thin felt
around the shaft, starting from
the wheel end and working in a
direction opposite to the forw ard
motion of the wheel, covering
the axle for a distance of about
eight inches. The felt should
then be fastened to the shaft
with shellac and held in place
by cord, tied around it several
times. When the shaft is turned,
the effect of this is to force the
oil back toward the differential
and away from the brakes.

PLAN TO PREVENT SKIDDING
REIMBURSEMENT of Radius or Torque
Rods Will Remedy Defect, Sci
dom Suspected.

When an automobile skids with the
least cause and sometimes apparently
without cause, the radius rods or
torque tubes which hold the rear axle
perpendicular to the center Of the a
are the reason. A bend or incorrect
adjustment of one of these rods throws
the center of the axle around and the
wheels do not track, but tend to roll

Oil the springs.

Adjust the carburetor.
Take an inventory Of the toolbox
and accessories.
Flush out the radiator and clean
cooling system thoroughly.
Zinc oxide or lampblack is used in
tires to tougher the tread.
1t is bad for the tires to force them
to carry more weight than they are
intended to bear.
The best and most reliable brakes
are in the motorists brain and his
hands on the wheel.
A good compound for use on termi-
nails, connecting bars and other bat

end is naturally inclined to follow the

This is one of the seldom suspected
causes of skidding and the remedy is

ment of riches. If there were only twelve women
in the United States worthy of being named in
answer to the question, all would be well. But
the United States has so many great women-to
say nothing Of the famous ones!
It's also embarrassing to the National League
of Women Voters. for the reason that to answer
1T the league must perforce name at least one
of it's own members.
And it's embarrassing to anyone asked to draw
up d list-there are so many things to be consid-
cred. For example, from one viewpoint one would
naturally name the First Lady Of the Land"-
Mrs. Warren G.. Harding-and from another Mary
Pickford or Mary Garden or Geraldine Farrar or
Mary Roberts Rinehart or Ida NJ. Tarbell or Edith
Wharton.
Again, one might name Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont
or Alice Paul of the National WOman's party or
Mrs. Maud Wood Park of the National League of
Women Voters; it depends upon whether one is
or is not militant in the matter Of women suf-
frage.
Again, if the list is to be made up of women
who have won distinction in their respective fields
The Kevin courier. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1922, 1922-08-02

Anyway, the National League of Women Voters
lodged making answer. 1t asked the Women's
Joint Congressional mmit to make the selec-
ton That body also lodged full responsibility
and has announced that it will ask five prominent
men to help in the selection. And at the present
writing that is as near as Senorita Mandujano's
question has come to receiving what may be called
an official answer.
In the meantime scores of lists have made their
appearance-some serious, some good, some bad,
some Indifferent.
In the lists the writer has seen the names of
eighty-three women have been given, each selected
as one of the twelve greatest living American
women.
The observing reader has doubtless noted that
the portraits given herewith number but eight,
in addition to that of the woman who has started
all this discussion. The reason is this: the writer
would not dare to try to name the twelve greatest
women. He is merely grouping the portraits of
eight women who seem to be popular choices,
inasmuch as they appear in nearly all the lists.
1t is of course a work of supererogation to name
and describe these eight women. However, they
are:
l. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, New York, hon
orary president National League of Women Voters,
president International Suffrage Alliance, woman
suffragist.
miss Jane Adams, Hull House, Chicago,
social worker, author and lecturer.

and author.
6-Mrs. Thomas G.. Winter, Minneapolis, presi-

Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Warren. O., vice
chairman Republican National Committee, suffra-

S-Miss Alice Mary Robertson, Muskogee. mem

HO ARE the twelve greatest living
American women? This embarrassing
question is asked of the National
League of Women Voters by Senorita
Graciela Mandujano of Chile. The
Chilean woman was a delegate Il the
Pan-American Conference of Women
recently held at Baltimore in connec-
ton with a convention of the Ma
tional League of Women Voters. She
is a writer and she wants to write
up the twelve for home publications.
The question is indeed embarrassing.

Mary Garrett Hay, who wrote out q
list upon the request of a newspaper
put the situation very well.
1T is impossible to do Justice TO
American women by selecting a paltry
twelve. Each person will select accord
ing to his mental bias. The women |
have chosen conform to a type that l
admire, the kind of woman who IS

Splendid Memorial.

A living memorial, distinctive and
majestic, and different from any other
that has been dedicated since the
World war, was unveiled recently In
Yosemite National park, says Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. 1t is a tab
let of bronze set at the base of one
Of CALIFORNIA; famous big trees. This
giant of the forest, towering above
the ordinary timber that surrounds
it, stands hencefOrth as "a memorial
to the unknown dead who gave their
lives in the great war. A peculiarly
fitting ceremony marked the unveil-
ing of this tablet. Water from the
crystal-clear stream of the MERGED that
flows through the park was sprinkled
upon the tree and the tablet, to SYM
bolize the purity of the devotion OF
the men who died in the war and the
rock at the foot of the tree on which
the tablet was placed was taken as
symbol of the permanence and
strength Of the principles for which
ne men fought, and the tree, which
it is hoped will live through gener-
ations, was cited as emblematic Of
the living and growing gratitude Of
the nation for the supreme sacrifice
made by Its, sons in the war
