I. Casing of storage battery is
caused by passing electric current
into it at too, high a rate when the
battery is in fully or nearly charged
condition. When in this condition the
battery plate will not receive current
excepting at a very slow rate. excess
current going to form gas. Casing

This is possible even in cold weather.
2 The valve sleeve supplied with
some tires and rims is designed to
prevent moisture from entering the
tire through the valve opening Of the
rim. The sleeve also excludes dust
and grit from the tire and tends to
prevent the tire from being thrown
from the rim in case of a blowout or
other difficulties which may occur
when the car is in motion.
j. Improper valve clearance at tap
pet ends will cause loss Of power in
the engine. If there is no clearance
between valve stems and push rods
there will be tendency for the valves
TO remain open just enough to lose
compression in the cylinders, especial
When the engine is fully warmed ana
the stems have expanded. II too much
clearance. 1t will cause clicking
noises every time the valves are OPEN
ed. They will not open as far as in
tended, the burned gases cannot all
escape and full charges Of fuel can
not be drawn into cylinders. resulting
in sluggishness in engine operation.
4. Although weight carried by front
tires is is great as that carried by
rear tires of car, the best tires
should be carried on rear wheels be-
cause they bear the traction strain in
driving the car. they skid and slide
more in turning. and when brakes
are applied 1T Is the rear tires which
hold back the entire weight of the
car. Thus they wear more rapidly.
strong for the type of motor should
not be used. The extreme tension
will cause the valve to close with
force enough to hammer the valve
seat out of shape. and may cause
breaking of either the valve stem or
head. in addition to considerable
noise.

HOW "BREATHER"
! TUBE FUNCTIONS
Should Be "ConsuIted" 0cca.
sionaIIy to Find Out if En-.
gine Is O. K.
BY ALBERT n. ATKINSON.

Get acquainted with your breathing
tube and consult it occasionally to
find out II all Is well with your en-
CINE. 1t should be easy to find as II
also serves on most engines TO re-
ceive the oil. This means that 1t
terror of the crank case and so can
give US more or less information re-
garding conditions inside.
First as to its purpose. Consider
ing single-cylinder engine, we nave
a piston moving up and down. alter
part of the cylinder and then expel-
ling it again. The crank case is
closed in to keep the oil in and the
dust out. But II the air had no way
of escaping it would be compressed
on the down stroke. retarding the
piston and so cutting down the pow
err slightly. This would not matter
much for one stroke, but 1t would be
serious where the engine Is to run
continuously. Again. closed crank
case would cause such suction or a
partial vacuum on the up stroke.
and again cause loss of power. For
these two reasons all manufacturers
fit breathing tube to the crank
which allows the air to enter and
leave according to the movement of
the piston.
Now, when we come to the four
cylinder engine, it would seem as il
the breather were no longer neces-
sary. because We have two plstons
moving down while two others move
upward, apparently neutralizing each
other. But on account of the angu-
larity of the connecting rod there is
difference. At a certain position
the upper ones are moving down
faster than the others are moving up,
causing pressure, and this condition
soon changes. so that the ones NOV
ing down go more slowly and the
upmoving ones make suction. Thus
the pressure fluctuates very rapidly
and breather is necessary. This, OF
course, applies also to the eight.
With the six-cylinder engine we
have a condition which is even worse.
as We have two pistons moving down
while four move up, making suction.
and then two moving up and four
moving down. making pressure. This
also applies in a lesser degree to the
twelve.
be very little huctuation of air
through the tube that the observer
can notice. but as the cylinders begin
to wear there will be a loss Of gas
from the cylinders into the crank
case. This can be readily detected
with the engine running. If the en-
CINE is overheated smoke from the
burned oil will come out of the tube.
and this will be seen in short puffs.
Knowing this method of diagnosis ii
will be easy to find out If the engine
is losing compression into the crank
case. This trouble may be due to
scored or worn cylinders. or trouble
with the rings. such as broken.
gummed up by carbon. scored, slots
in line or badly worn.
So if your engine is losing power
hold your hand over the breathing
tube and look for a loss of gas. OF
course. an old engine will always
leak slightly, but il this increases
there Is trouble inside and the engine
will have to come down.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.
o the Automobile Editor

To the Automobile Editor:
Although my car is running well. !
have noticed lately that when driving
on car tracks with or without the
clutch engaged there is slight but
steady jolt as though one Of the tires
were fiat or had a lump on 1t. The
trouble seems to be in the rear
wheels. On ordinary roads the tolting
Is not noticeable on account of the
unevenness Of the roadbed. Will you
kindly state through the columns Of
the motoring department what causes
this condition? A. T. 5.
Answer-It is possible that there is
a high spot in one of the differential
beveI gears. which. at each revolu-
ton, is felt. 1t is also possible that
some part of the differential may be
hitting the differentiaL housing in
turning. This may be caused by a
slight end play in the bearings:
You should be able to remedy this
by jacking up both rear wheels and
then allowing the motor to drive the
wheels slowly. careful sounding
of the differential and driving units
should locate the trouble.
