Since increase OF density due to

ing the gap in the same proportion,
many practical mechanics simply WI
den the gap to, say, five times its
normal working distance by the OK
pedient of bending or twisting the
electrodes. This always incurs the
danger Of breaking off or weakening
the wire, and requires the readjust-
ment of the gap afterward, which,
even if one is not fussy as to the ex-
act length, may not be permanent due
to warping under heat after the &C.
we're distortion of bending.
The writef has had excellent salts
faction from a method Of "stretch-
ag" the spark without altering the
setting of the points. A strip Of
clean, sound mica about three-eighths
of an inch wide is thrust between
the points so that the spark has to
pass around the end or edge Of the
mica, thereby lengthening the gap as
much as is desired. This method may
not be Of scientific accuracy, but it
serves for practical purposes, and
often points out q battling full-load
miss in what seems to be sound plug.

battery by continuous charging dur.
ing summer touring is often referred
to by writer's who warn against the
danger of doing permanent injury to
the plates. No remedy is suggested,
however, except that OF burning
lights to aabsorb the current. This
expedient is not wholly satisfactory
since the continuous use Of the lamps
soon burns out tho bulbs-to say
nothing of the annoyance caused by
every third motorists trying to stop
you to say that you have LETT your
lamps burning by accident.
It has been assumed by many de.
signers that the generator output
should be taken out Of control Of the
driver and be made entirely automa-
tic, but the automatic regulation does
not take the variable factors Of oper-
alton into account.
1t occurred to the writer that It
should be possible to correct the dif-
ficulty at its source by providing .
method of regulating the output Of
the generator at the will of the driv-
er. Last spring when the generator
was being given an overhauling, the
field wire was cut and the ends
brought to the outside Of the generat-
or shell, where they were connected
with insulated binding posts. A
small rheostat. such as is used by
wireless amateurs, was placed on the
back of the instrument board in front
of the driver with only the regulating
knob projecting in front. This was
connected in series with the field
through the binding posts mentioned
and shown in the illustration on this
page. (
The installation being effected, Z
turn of the knob at any time will &C.
duee the generator output from its
maximum to as little as one or two
an1peres If desired. When the lights
are turned on at night, q turn OF
the rheostat knob restores tho max
imun output. ...
The effect Of this regulation is seen
in the fact that whereas in former
years, if long daily runs were made.
1t was desirable to water the battery
daily, over the same route last sum-
naer additional water was. not once
required in more than a thousand
miles of continuous running and more
than two weeks light driving there
after. The, cost Of tho rheostat and
other materials used was less than two
dollars.

Compression Test Gauge.
Rv s. f.. GIBBS,

One can tell something about tho
compression in the various cylinders
by turning the engine over slowly by
hand and noting the resistance; but
4 more satisfactory method is to use
a gauge to measure the COM
preston. Such device is made
by clamping a tire gauge in
the shell Of spark plug, making it
leak-proof with washer and packing.
The device is then screwed into the
spark plug hole in the cylinder, and
the motor is allowed to run slowly
under power. Each cylinder is tested
in turn, and If they do not show ap-
proximately the same compression in
all, the motor requires attention.

RUSH OF preliminary WORK
There will Be No Delay in Highway
Construction BY Enactment Of
New Federal Act.

Highway construction will not be
delayed by the requirements cf the
new federal highway act. The federal
highway system will consist Of roads.
not exceeding per cent Of the total
in any state. designated By the state
and approved BY the secretary ct az
riculture. Work is being rushed by
all the highway departments on the
preparation of maps OF the proposed
system, but naturally such IN imp0r-
tant matter will take some little time
and consideration. The government
authorities will insist that important
through routes meet ut state lines
which will require conferences be-
tween authorities Of different states.
In order that work will not be
delayed pending the approval Of each
state system the secretary Of asri.
culture has amended the rules and
regulations for federal aid to permit
the immediate construction Of such
roads as it may reasonably be antict-
pated will become part Of the system.
State highway officials are being
advised that the anticipated route Of
which the road to be built 10 part
should be as long as practicable, pref
erably entirely across the state. A
map must be submitted showing the
route, other possible routes and con-
Meeting routes. II this is found sat-
isfactory the project will be approved
for immediate construction.
The State Of Washington submitted
on December - the first complete
state system, and others are expected
in a short time.

BY w. B. JONES,
Owing to the fact that the resist

with the density of the air or gas
between the plug points, a plug test

full load, the density of the mixture
between the electrodes of plug may
be increased by compression to five
times that of the atmosphere. To
test plugs under conditions Of pres
sure and density corresponding to act

air pressure chambers into which the
plugs may be screwed, with the spark
gaps opposite strong glass windows.

Handy Bolt Chiesl.
By C., n, WILEY.

A handy tool for wedging of rust
ed bolts can be made from a wide
cold chisel. The tool is heated and
drawn thin and then cut and U-shap-
ed to make it straddle the bolt. It
is then retempered.
Very often when one is working
around the motor or chassis, bolts are
encountered that arc not easily reach
ed with hammer. This tool over.
comes the difficulty and is superior
to hammering on the nut end Of a
bolt because it does not mar the
threads.

The oil which is drained from the
crankcase of the automobile engine
will give excellent results as spring
lubricant. 1t should be applied with

and, after It has been allowed to soak
in for an instant. be followed with
several other applications. The gaso-
line in the diluted oil causes it to
work in between the lesves much far

. Locating Leaks.
BY WALTER II. GAGE.

BY WALTER II. GAGE.
When you pick up a small tack in
the road and find yourself minus the
air Of one tire, it is not always easy
to locate the leak in the tube. Nor
does slow punrture always happen
when you are handy to a spring or
brook Even though there is no water
available, however, you may circun1.
vent the Jinx by initiating the tube to
its safe maximum and revolving 1t
slowly over a patch of fine dust in the
road. When the leak comes directly
over the dust it will betray itself al.
most as visibly as it does in water.

Front Wheel Grease Gun.
Bv S. E. GIBBS.

1t is often difficult to get grease
into the inner bearings Of the front
wheel. But. if spare hub cap is SOL
dered to the end of a small grease
gun, the hub can be filled and some
Of the old grease and dirt forced out
at the inside. When this method is
employed, there is never any doubt
about the thoroughness Of the job.
