SHORT MADE LONG
(By UEitcd PreSs.0

Leipzig-An operation making a
short person long has actually been
performed, according to a report read
before a scientific convention here.
A dwarf who desired to attain a
somewhat more mature stature, sub
mitted to an operation on his legs. A
piece of the upper leg was cut out, a
bony substance, not actual bone, IN
serted which joined up anew with
the real bones. This was firm enough
to support the weight Of the man
when it healed.

Fla, April 81, 1920.
A recent run by Sig Hougdahl in a
special model claimed to have gone
$50 miles per hour or more, is absO-
lutely not official and does not stand.
Dear Barney Oldfield: Would you
recommend the use of castor oil in the
place of cylinder oil or any combina-
ton of the W. in the crankcase OF my
car? Is there any advantage gained by
the use of castor oil?-G. r. d.
Castor oil or mixtures Of castor and
mineral oil should not be used in pas
senger car engines. The distribution in
the engine is not designed for such a
heavy oil. Incidentally the engine be-
comes gummy quickly.
Dear Barney Oldfield: My car will
throttle down to five miles per hour
up grade and have a good pick up.
but when going about twenty miles
per hour and take my foot off the gas,
it reduces it's speed between ten and
twelve miles per hour, it begins to
buckle. This happens on the level or
down grade. 1t doesn't seem to coast
at all. l put in new ring and Dinion
gears and they are adjusted properly
but l notice there is play of about an
inch and a half turn between axle and
spider gears, Are spider gears ad-
Unstable? Would new axles overcome
this buckling? | ground the valves
and notice there is a lot of play in
several of the pistons. Would pew
yard rings overcome this and stop
%flapping: In the buckling another
thing | notice that will stop it is to
retard the spark as soon as it starts.
I will greatly appreciate your an
swering these questions. greatly
enjoy the useful information you give
in every one of your articles.-W. H.
G. II.
While there is undoubtedly much
play in the driving system. l think
most Of your trouble is in t he engine
which creates binding due to misalign-
ment Of connecting rods, pistons and
possibly crankshaft also. Tight parts
in the rear of your car will slow it
down very quickly. You must look
for tight parts, not loose ones. as the
slowing down is caused by a drag. The
bucking is an effect, for after the
tight parts slow the car down the
loose parts shake back and forth.

DEALER HAS
To AID IN SERVICE
CAR USER IS GIVEN
Shrewd Buyers Regard Char
acter of Man Who Sells,
Says j. w. Jordan.

The somewhat sensational price
movements in the autOmOtive markets
recently have served only to emphasize
the real consideration in the purchase
of an automobile says J. w. Jordan,
Western Motor company.
Car wners realize now, more than
ever before, that the value of a car is
one thing and the price of it is an
other-an entirely different PROPOSE
ton. They are coming to realize that
the dealer alone can put value into an
automobile. The manufacturer builds
the a and fixes the price, but the
dealer alone can guarantee satisfaction
to the owner.
mo car is worth having if it is a
source of disappointment and expense.
However low the price may have been
such a car still remains the most ex-
pensive in the market. On the other
hand. any car which gives 100 per cent
Of satisfaction to its owner shows a
good investment.
This is not altogether figured on the
intangible elements of comfort, con-
venience and profit arising from the
use of the ear. but can be figured in
dollars and cents which are paid out
for maintenance and repair. which are
lost through the failure of the car to
properly serve its owners and which
are sacrificed with the time that is
wasted because of the failure of the
car to do its part.
"Shrewd buyers of ears today are
not paying nearly so much attention
to the price as they are to the char
acter and the responsibility of the mar
who sells them the car"

One of the latest radio develop
ments is the radio ear. The Chevrolet
Motor company has proved that radio
equipment operates satisfactorily in an
automobile without the use of a
ground wire.
The possibilities that this portable
radio receiving station offers include
an almost limitless field of use and,
with such tremendous strides as these
made in it's development, it is bound
to become one of the indispensable
utilities of modern civilization.
With a car equipped in this fashion
it is possible for a family to drive
anywhere within 100 miles or so of a
broad-casting station and picnic while
the radio in their car amuses or in
structs them with music, sermons,
or wireless telegraphy. Education and
entertainment can be transported to
wherever people congregate. With a
few cars equipped as this one, a
minister could talk to a dozen con
gregations at once.
Importance for Agriculture
If the United States department of
agriculture had similar radio equip
ment in the hands of its county agents,
department experts could talk to thou
sands of farmers at once and thus
bring the tremendous added benefits
to our agriculture that would be made
possible through a greater broadcast
ing of its work.

Check These Points
When Your Car Comes
Out of Dead Storage

Many cars are being taken off
dead storage at this time in prepa-
ration for the summer touring sea-
son. Here is a list of things that
should be done in the shop before the
car is used:
Flush out radiator.
Inspect and repair tires.
Clean and adjust ignition.
Change oil in crank case.
Remove and grease wheels.
Inspect and adjust steering.
Remove carbon. Grind valves.
Adjust clutch. Adjust all brakes.
Tighten body bolts, tenders. etc.
Clean gas tank, carburetor and
lines.
Inspect universals and drive shaft
for play.
Inspect generator, starting motor
and wiring.
See that battery is charged and in
good condition.
Grease and oil springs, transmits
sion and differential.

present head of the traffic depart
ment, will have charge of the motor
cycle patrolmen of Minneapolis after
April /. The patrol will consist of
IA c 10 of whom will ride all the

In addition to the work being done
by Minneapolis to increase its motor
cycle police staff the sheriff of Hem
nepin county has stated that he con-
siders the best protection to motor
lists on the country roads and out-of-
the-city boulevards is a motorcycle and

MOTORIZED

Sheep and poultry schools built On
motor trucks and travelling through
rural sections have been organized BY
the United States department of agn-
culture in cooperation with the state
colleges of agriculture of North Caro-
linn end Texas.
Officials of the department of agri-
culture say that more of this method
of education is needed so that Informal
ton on latest farming methods may be
carried directly to farmers no matter
how inaccessible the community may be.

broadcasting station available he could
send a radio equipped car to every
voting area in his state, and talk to
all of his constituents at the same
time, thus saving his vocal chords and
making it possible for his hearers to
stop listening when they were tired.
The installation of this equipment
in the Chevrolet car is so simple that
it is possible to adapt it to many
uses, and therefore We may expect TO
see many cars similarly equipped in
the future. 1t is also a matter of a few
moments only to remove the radio
equipment from the car when it is
not desired for use there. 1t can then
be used in the home or office, or any
other place desired.
Automobile Now Land Ship
Just as anywhere on the high seas
ships can keep constantly in touch
with ports and other ships through the
use of the radio, now the automobile
the land ship-can immensely facili-
tate distribution of information to the
great benefit of mankind.
One ingenious amateur, by utilizing
the power of the generator on his car.
not only receives messages. but also
transmits them.
Such equipment makes possible the
use of motor cars as scouts or re-
porters of crop. weather or news mes
sages from any part of the country.
The news reporter need no longer
be obliged to pea his rivals to the
wire. With a car equipped to talk in
stantly and directly with the radio
office of his paper, he is free of all
restrictions or competition.

Dear Barney Oldfield: Our car was
overhauled last spring and ever since
at times we have a miss somewhere in
the motor. When we pour kerosene
down along the vale stems it seems to
work pretty well for a short time.
The timing gears are very noisy and
the engine misses more in running at
the rate of 10 or 10 miles per hour
II. G.. Y.
Badly worn timing gears will upset
engine timing but in your case [ would
first suspect worn valve stems and
stem guides. This causes excessive air
leakage and so dilutes the mixture as
to cause misfiring. When you pour
kerosene down the valve stems you
prevent leakage of air for a while.
The fact that the engine runs all right
for q week shows that the timing gears
are not causing it, for if they did. the
engine always would misfire. In addi-
ton to checking up the fit of the valves
see that there are no air leaks past
the cages, intake manifold flange, etc.
Dear Barney Oldfield: What is the
best way to remove carbon?-F. NJ. f.

Metal surfaces may be protected by
applying several coats of lacquer or

be applied with a camel's hair brush,
after the metal has been polished. Be-

should be cleared.

WAY TO STOP HOOD BATTLES

A hood that has a tendency ia rat

the hood rests on leather instead of

Chicagoan Aims to Set New

being developed to represent the
United States in the Olympic games at
Paris in 1924.
Still in his teens Wcissmuller's am
bition is to lower the world record
time for every event on the swimming
card. He already has created records
for at least q score Of distances in
the six months he has been in national
competition.
Weissmuller will be eighteen years
old June 9. He WAS born in Vienna
Austria, but his family emigrated to
Chicago when he was an infant. II
was with a group Of barefoot boy. that
he first padded in the surf Of Fuller
ton Beach. At the acc Of eight he
taught himself to keep aAoat and unit

mentor. He stands six feet one inch
weighs 1Gs pounds, has unusually
broad shoulders and large hands and
feet part Of the equipment Of all great
swimmers Of the past.
~ don't think my feet and hands
have much to do with it," he said
of the hands with the feet-six beats
to stroke"
Contrary to general belief, he does
not employ the Australian stroke, but
what he calls the "American" stroke
and declares that the secret of his
speed is in the perfect synchroniza-
tion Of his arm and leg movement. He
breathcs with every stroke.
''I'm going after as many records as
can in my first year of competition,
he said, "and may so to Hawaii il
