Signs Over Our Heads.

Mysteries come and mysteries Co.
but the average motorist Is still puz-
zled to know why traffic authorizes
in most cities post warning signs ana
ordinance reminders at such hish
points on telegraph poles. instead OF
down on the eye level. where tney
could be read. In one large New Eng
land City the left turn proh1 bited
signs are placed about twenty rect
above street level on poles midway
between blocks. Unless driver nap
pened to be star-Gazlng ne Wouiu
never notice these signs and In all
proba bility would endeavor TO make
the forbidden turn.
At very dangerous crossing IN
another large city the police nave
posted signs demanding every car TO
come to a complete stop before pro-
ceeding. To make the signs most ef-
fective, and to insure their being
complied with they were attached to
the trolley poles some fifteen feet
above street level, where no motorlst
would be likely to see them. An In
Nestigation of conditions at this par
ticular corner showed that not one
driver obeyed the signs because not
one noticed them. Those who stopped
did so because common sense told
them to.
Apparently it is case of signs be-
ing over cur HeduS II - Io "oHoct
the results are so far from satisfac-
tory Everywhere the motorist finds
traffic directions pisted in illogical
places. and the wonder is that he
notices as many signs as he does
Why the traffic authorities should as
sumo that a motorist has time to cape
1t telegraph poles-especially the
upper extremities of them-is a mat
ter for Mr. Foster or some other
oracle to answer.
So far as the motorist is concerned
II would seem that the authorities
are missing II good opportunity to
gain the cooperation of drivers. All
that is necessary is to place signs
where they can be seen and read
without danger of neglecting the car
and running over some one during the
process.
From all appearances the present
method OF posting signs is designed
so that he who runneth the risk of
running over some one may read"

Those who are forever complaining
about the unbearable condition of the

twenty miles of shellholes into the

The Old Mechanic Saws:

Funny thing this reDa!-in' business
You think you know all about it,
when along comes new Job and a
new problem to start you think;n'
I've got about dozen different ways
Of locating engine trouble. but it
wasn't until I started workin' on 81
Smiths car today that I tumb,ed upon
the idea Of being guided by the speed
OF the engine.
q Il happened to think that motors
with different troubles might all act
the same way. but at different speeds.
You watch the average car owner
his engine and YOU will find that he
seldom considers the speed at which
the trouble develops. If the engine
sllips he doesn't notice whether the
trouble is found at all engine speeds
or merely while It idlas or while it is
running fast. The consequence is he
goes way out of his way finding the
remedy.
Looking over the situation on Sis
car. l found that the trouble appeared
in the form of skipping. We okayed
the spark plugs. because when the
skipping started the engine would
miss on all six at once. Occasionally
the motor would stop altogether:
there would be trouble starting it, and
at times she would idle normally 81
water stead of gas. but there's where
he was dead wrong. I admitted that
tho skipping, Kissing and stalling
sounded like water in the gas, but I
happened to notice that the motor
idled at times, when 1T wouldn't run
fast. If there had been any water
in the fuel the motor would have be-
haved just as badly while idling as
when running faster.
Cleaning out the vacuum tank
i's hp,t 80
course, he found nothing to clean.
When there's dirt in the fuel line the
engine Is more likely to stall and
skip while idling than when running
fast. AT higher speed there is more
suction. and more reason why the
fuel should get past the dirt ST, you
see. was going at the job without
taking into consideration the speed
at which the trouble developed.
II happened to stumble upon the
up the car enough to shift to high.
She would run slow in second or in
'high.' but not at normal driving
speed. Once 1 had noticed this it was
simple enough to think of the dis
tributor. Removing the cover and the
rotor I found that the spring Of the
breaker. was broken. There was the
trouble in a nutshell. At low speed
the movable breaker point followed
the cam fairly we'll and induced
regular spark. but when the engine
ran faster it did not follow properly.
causing complete breaks In the igni-
ton. With the engine running fast
these breaks naturally caused hiss
ing of the carburetor and led us to
believe that there was some thing
wrong with the fuel or the fuel line.
when you're puzzled over some en-
eine trouble It's a good idea first to
find out at what speed things go
wrong. It helps you elimh nate a lot
Of possibilities right of the bat"

Did You Know

That screwing down cylinder head
bolts takes up clearance In the valve
tappets7 Lowering the cylinder head
by tightening its bolts automatically
lowers the valve seats. The valves
seat lower because they are free to
drop lower and their springs pull
them down. That is. provided the
clearance in the tappets is sufficient.
If there is not enough clearance be.
tween a valve tappet and the end OF
its respective valve stem, lowering
the head may mean that the valve
win not seat properly. In lowering a
,vlinder head or in raising 1t with
a new gasket, or a double gasket. the
motorist should remember that the
adjustment Of the valves will be af-
fected.
