the Star car exhibit having been made
in display advertisements in the New
York newspapers on June 13.
Interest in the Star car, a four cyl

at $34S, has been keen since the first
showing of the touring model in Wash
ington, ID. c., on March 8 last. The
car is equipped with well known
standard units, among them the Red
Seal Continental motor, Timken axles
and bearing, Warner transmission, and
the "Tubular Backbone feature in

STIVERS EXPLAINS
PROPER WAY TO
CLEAN UP PLUGS

| Mr.. Stivers, sales manager of the
Western Auto Supply Co., tells several
methods for cleaning of spark plugs.
Spark plugs may be divided into two
distinct classes, the type which may be
readily taken apart and the type which
does not come apart.
| In the case Of the two piece plug, the
porcelain core should be removed and
carbon deposit scraped off. The metal
shells and points should be cleaned in
q similar manner
Care should be taken ip reassembling
this type of plug that the points be ad-
justed to the proper gap, and the porce-
lain core uEdamaged.
Contrary to popular opinion, emery
cloth should never be used for clean
ing spark plugs. There is danger of
the emery dust being carried into the
cylinders. Furthermore, emery removes
the glaze from the porcelain core,
greatly increasing carbon adhesion,
thereby causing short circuits.
The one piece type of plug can best
be cleaned by scraping the carbon with
a sharp pointed knife.
Where the carbon is excessively hard.
the plug may be reconditioned by boil
ing in lye and water.
If time permits, either type of plug
may be cleaned by soaking over night
in Kerosene. The carbon residue may
then be quickly removed with a sharp
knife.
You will find that a spark plug is
more readily removed if the treads are
wiped with good graphite when the
plug is put in.
From time to time, it is a
wise plan to test a spark plug
for leakage, squirting oil around the
base and into the she'll Leaks will
Immediately show up by bubbles.
A simple remedy for removing ear
bon from an oily7Ftug is to fill the
plug with gasoline. invert and light
the fuel. The heat will dry the oil
and permit you to remove all carbon by
| scraping or brushing with a wire brush
1t is not necessary to take plug
| apart every time to clean it. Many
times the carbon deposit is not suffi
cient to do any damage. 1t is suggest
ed that you brush the points with a
stiff wire brush. Make sure to adjust
the gaps after brushing
No one should think of starting out
on trip without taking some extr;
plugs along so they will be prepared
for emergency in case plugs break, leal
or short-circuit. sAs-r

CARE OF BATTERY
BY EXPERT PAYS

HWhen NV watch refuses to operate
and needs expert attention, always
insist that my jeweler gives me an
other time piece to carry while mine is
beiny repaired" said Mr.. Ross of Ross
and Stoutsenberger, distributor in tins
citv for the Philadelphia battery.
..Tbings do not seem to run according
to schedule unless l have Il watch in
the proper pocket.
"in these days of service batteries
it is an easy matter for any motorist
to drive up to service, station, eA-
change his old battery for service
one. and drive away happy, just rs
easv as 1t is to exchange an obstinate
watch for a smooth running one.
"If q ear could talk it would demand
such attention with its battery. 1T it
becomes necessary to take the battery
out temporarily, another should be put
| in it's place or it S all up with the gen
orator. The windings of the armature
| or the field will burn out, or often
this happens to both. It's a mighty
| safe bet never to drive u car without
| a battery on the line from the gener-
ator.
! "Sometimes it may be necessary to
run the ear while without replacing
the battery. In this ease the brushes
Of the generator should be grounded OF
short circuited to prevent damage.

and let an expert tinker with these
things minute or two, they would
save themselves all kinds of trouble

Extreme Care Taken
in Building Marmons
to Avoid Squeaks

There is one point in the construc-
tion of the new Marmon closed cars. on
display for the first time at the 1922
automobile shows, which is not notice
able to the naked eye, but which is,
nevertheless of vital Importance in
the building of these new closed bodies.
Briefly, this point deals with the ex
treme care taken to guard against the
possibility of squeaks and rattless de-
veloping from hard usage. In the
welding of the aluminium body, all of
the joints have been welded both in
side and outside, thus discarding the
old method of welding on one side only.
To give this method most exhaus-
tive test. experimental bodies were
built. and for we'll over a year these
bodies have been put to the most Sc
we're daily usage imaginable. The man
ner in which they have withstood
these tests assures the soudness of
welding. A tight long wearing, non
rafting body is the result.

The pecan will grow on any soil

should be set forty feet apart each
way. or thirty-nine trees to the acre.
These trees, when twelve to fifteen
years old, will bear, at a very con
sentative estimate, one hundred
pounds OF nuts per tree and at half
the present price would give $1,000
to the tree or from three to four
hundred dollars per acre, per year.
Ii anyone wishes to grow a pecan

but the quickest way would be TO
buy budded trees. Ofbudded trees

one or two years old trees. at that
age the trees will have from twelve
to eighteen inches OF top and from
three to four feet Of roots. The root
should be cut back to the solid
white wood to twelve to eighteen
inches of the crown. The tops
should be cut back but little.
The planting of young trees is a
very simple matter. About all that
is necessary other than apple trees,
