Heavyweight TitIehoIder Wants

0HICAGO, Dec. 24.-Rapid inn
provement in the 1872 balk-
~ line billiards played by Rog-
er Cont, champion of France,
shown by his performance in the
recent international championship
tournament as compared with his
work of the previous year, is at
tracing lively interest to the
approaching challenge match he
is to play here with Jacob Schae-
fer of this city, former world
champion. The winner of this Sc
ries is to challenge w. F. Hoppe
for the international title and dia-
mon emblem.
Conti's record in the 1921 tourney
was an average of 2S 1871 points
per inning, finishing fourth, from
which level he advanced in the last
tourney to an average of Al S-12, fin
fishing third, In addition, he was the
only player to defeat Schaefer in the
tourney year ago. the score being
400 to 203. Cont has been practicinC
diligently recently in the east and
will arrive in Chicago shortly To ad-
Just himself for the series to he
played at Orchestra Hall January Q
and 10.
In view of the fact that Cont is
one of the least experienced players
to bid for the international tourney,
much is hoped for his development.
Schaefer is now in Los Angeles. and
it goes without saying he will come
to Chicago determined to win the
right of another chance to struggle
with the redoubtable Hoppe for the
worlds highest honors.

easier?
In timing the valves when should
the intake valve close? READER;
Answer-The aluminium caps are
not as strong as steel caps of equal
dimensions. The latter kind will not
crack SO easily if properly made
Usually the intake valve closes
about 50 degrees after bottom center.
This varies with the type of motor

slow-speed type.

running in low gear the motor turns
over fast and the advanced spark is
suitable. However. when you so into
high gear the speed Of the motor is
greatly reduced and the overad-

Excessive carbonization of the cylIn-

HELPFUL HINTS.

At any time that a single cell of a
storage battery is sulphated,so ,sor if the
gravity of the solution is much be-
low that of the other cells, it should
individually until it is brought to the
same condition as the others.
Most self-starting systems have
fuse box installed at an accessible
point. The purchaser of a new car
should acquaint himself with this as
quickly as possible. Very often con-
siderable trouble can be eliminated by
replacing burned-out fuse with
new one. This is a simple matter,
but If not known may cause lot OF
trouble and unnecessary expense.
Where dry cells are used for start
ing purposes extreme care should be
exercised to keep them in dry place.
Even though the cells may be new
any dampness will cause them to
short-circuit and when this takes
place you will have hard work start
ing the engine on the magnetic.
When installing tire chains it is not
advisable to have them too tight. Ii
the chains are held in a fixed po-
sition the tread of the tire is apt to
be loosened at these points. If the
chain is slightly loose it will work
around to different positions and
cause less injury to the tread.
The universal joints in the propeller
shaft and clutch shaft are probably
the most neglected parts of any car.
These parts have considerable work
to do and should be we'll fabricated.
They should be inspected and lubri-
Gated approximately every 500 miles
Care should also be taken to keep
these protected from dust and dirt.
When washing out filter such as
an oil filter, care should be taken to
fluid through the wire gauze in the
direction opposite to the normal flow
Of Oil through the device. The reason
for this is that if gasoline is passed
through in the same direction as
the oil it will probably leave particles
of fluff or other substance that might
have been caught, sticking just where
they were, while washing in the op-
posite direction would dislodge them.
Quite often one of the valve push
rods will stick in the guide and cause
the motor to miss fire. A slightly
same result. A push rod may be freed
by rubbing down with emery, but it is
best to replace a warped valve.
One of the most d-fashioned and,
according to many who have used it.
one of the best methods of cleaning

to rub it we'll with a cloth or sponge

The Same Thought
in Eueryone's Mind

Ten minutes spent in this
sort of reflection will bring
him to some very surpris-
ing conclusions.
For instance, he is almost
sure to recollect that he has
never talked to any one who
did not feel about the Hup-
mobile as he feels.
If he has travelled extern
sively, it will be borne in on
his memory that wherever
he went he found exactly
the same conclusions con-
cerning the Hupmobile.
But this is only the begin
ming Of the revelation that
awaits him.

glance at the history of the

That uninterrupted regu-

Hupmobile known above
and beyond all else as a re-
liable car to buy.
That regularity which the
Company began building
into the Hupmobile a dozen
years ago and has never
stopped building into it
ever since.
That regularity whic h

One Car Among 100
Whose Value Everyone Knows

\ LMOST any man who
n seriously asks him
self what he thinks
about the Hupmobile will
find, if he has ever given
the matter any attention
at all, that he has always
held a high opinion of it's
value.
If he follows the subject a
little further in his own
mind, he is almost certain
to recall that he has ex-

others, time and time
again.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

To the Automobile Editor:
While adjusting one of the bear
ings in one Of the rear wheels had
occasion to take a bearing out, and
in doing so lost one Of the balls. Will
It fnjure the bearing to run with
out the lost ball? T. X.
Answer-You should replace the
lost ball without delay. taking par
ticular care to obtain the exact size,
SO that all the balls of the bearing
will be the same. If you do not re-
place the lost ball the additional
! strain put upon the others may cause
the cutting of the ball race. When
this starts the life of the whole bear
ing will be very short.

How Feu Stand
as High as Hupn,obile

One is that millions of mo-
tor cars of nearly three
hundred makes hive been
marketed in a marvelously
short space of time.
The other fact-more star
tling and significant by far
is the astonishingly few
cars which have built such
a solid, enduring reputation
as he knows the Hupmobile
to enjoy.
Passing in review all of the
100 makes which are still in
existence, he will not be
able to think Of another car
in it's class Of which he
and every one else-thinks
as highly as he does of the
Hupmobile.
If he asks himself why this
is so, he will find that it is
because he has, consciously
or unconsciously, recog-
nized in the Hupmobile
those very elements of re-
liability which every man
hopes to get when he buys
a motor car.
