Poor fabrication Generally the
Cause of Excessive Piston
Friction.
REDUCES POWER OF ENGINE
Unbroken Oil Film Should Always Be
Maintained Between Pistons and
Cylinder Walls - thinning"
Detrimental to Vital Parts.

1t is not generally realized how much
the useful power of an engine is re-
duced by the friction of its plstons up
on their cylinder walls. Normal pis-
ton friction is altogether the greatest
mechanical loss in the engine, IL not
in the whole car and, If 1t becomes alb
normal In amount, car performance
suffers In a marked degree. The fuel
may do its full work upon the pistons,
but If this force is too largely wasted
In overcoming their friction, the power
left over for moving the car is seri-
ously reduced.
In the cast of cars, In the engines of
which new tightly-ttted pistons and
rings have just been Installed. useful
undue piston friction that even slight
grades cannot be negotiated ON high"
until these parts become smoothed and
"worn in" by their prolonged mutual
rubbing action. Such n condition Is
occasional only. but piston friction
may, at any time. become excessive
and engine performance unsatisfac-
tory, through poor fabrication and It
is, In this connection, that the quality
of oil used is of great Importance,
for il Is a fact that, without causing
acute damage to the parts, excessive
friction may exist during much OF the
time that an engine Is In operation, to
the detrlment of Its performance and
with extensive resulting wear.
To secure perfect piston fabrication
and thus TO minimize friction, 1t Is es-
sentlal that there should always be nm
unbroken oil film maintained between
plstons and cylinder walls and. to In
sure this. the oil must not become so
thin as to be squeezed out from be-
tween their opposing surfaces, Detrl-
mental thinning of the oil may result
from its quality or It's grade being such
hat IL loses IT. body" or thickness at
the higher engine temperatures. or 1t
may be due To unburned fuel passing

Elimination of the 'detour DOGGY
the bane of every touring motorists
life, is seen as the successful outcome
of recent experiments in what may
be termed "split crown" construction
of concrete roads.
The new method lies simply in lay
ing paving owe but half of the road
bed at N time, keeping the remain
ing half open to traffic as the work
progresses. This method has been
found particularly effective in rough
and billy country where detours are
practically impossible, but urgent APP
peals from automobile owners who
have experienced the torture of de-
touring by night, may bring 1t into
general use.
Cooperation Essential.
Careful cooperation between the
motoring public and the contractor is,
however, essential. BY s|tatloning
responsible guards at each end of the
open strip, traffic may be sent over
the route, first in one direction and
then in the other, without danger.
Great care must ibe exercised by
the contractor in order to avoid set
Element of dust particles on the fresh
ly-laid paving. In order to insure the
proper curing of the concrete it is
necessary hat he keeps the unim-
proved side of the road well sprinkled
at all times. Failure to do this would
affect the concrete to an extent that
might cause Sealing" in later years.

DIFFICULT TASK .,..
-. ',-. IN TARIFF BILL
Members Hope to Reach Decision Be.
fore End of Next Week.-Com-
mittee At Work.

Washington, JAM 14.-Final dis
cussion of the basis Of assessing the
import duties which are to be written
into the new tariff bill was started
today by Republican members of the
senate finance committee. They hope
to reach a decision on this, the most
important and difficult phase Of the
whole tariff problem, before the end
of next week, and then the actual
work Of constructing the rates will
be undertaken. The hope now is that
the bill can be reported to the SEN
ate around March l.. "
Besides discussing the American
valuation plan and various substi-
tutes with members of the tariff
commission and the court of customs
appeals the committeeman received
from the senate Republican-farmer-
tariff bloc recommendations as to
rates on farm products. These in
cluded suggested duty of five cents
a pound on short staple cotton, which
always has been on the free list, and
rate of 33 cents. a pound on wool
on the basis of the secured content
as against the rs cents proposed in
the Fordney bill. Rates at increases
over those in the ,Fordney bill on
wheat, oats and many other products
also were urged. ...".
In entering upon their discussion
of the basis Of assessing duties, the
committee members had in confer
ence with them Thomas o. Marvin
and William Burgess of the tariff
commission, and Judge Marion De
Vries, member Of the court Of Gus
toms appeals. They endorsed the
plan outlined in an amendment pro-
posed yesterday by Senator Smoot
Of Utah of assessing duties on the
basis of the selling price of the i'm
ported article in the American mar
ket rather than on the value of the
comparable article produced in the
United States, the Fordney bill pro-

about thirty will be Duroc Jerseys
and the other twenty will be Poland
Chinas.
An invitation is extended to all
who are interested to attend this sale,
says Prof Starkey, whether they in
tend to buy or not. Because Of pres
sent financial conditions it is most
likely that this Offering Of first class

Washington, Jan. 10.-Cost of

Southern Railway system trains has

prices ranging from rs cents to $3.50
and at the same time substantial re-

prices Of many popular dishes on the
a la carte menus, Passenger Traffic
Manager W.. H. Tayloe announced
today.
"In arranging these combination
breakfasts, luncheons and dinners,

attractive selections at prices which
compare favorably with those in any
first class restaurant" said Mr.. Tay-
loe. "They are proving very popular
with passengers who consider them
a very pleasant reminder of pre-war
days. ...,
"While these combinations enable
passengers to get their meals at
greatly reduced cost, we recognize
that many persons prefer to make
their own selections and so have re-
tanned the Ia carte service, at the
same time making substantial re-
ductions in the prices: Of many stand
ard dishes, some one Of which is in
