DYAS SHOWS WHY.
SOME GAS PUMPS.
SHORT CHANGE

AS an aid to automobile owners
in obtaining full measure of gasoline
from commercial pumps, Raymond
Dyas, state inspector of weights and
measures, in a recent article in a
trade journal points out some of the
commoner causes of short measure
likely to be encountered in faulty
pumps.
Under practically all weights and
measures laws" he states. gasoline
pumps are considered merely liquid
measure with some form of device for
elevating and discharging the liquid,
and hence are required to be as accu-
rate as any other liquid measure is
required to be. Being a mechanism
instead of a standard measure, how
ever, they are more liable to error
than specific measures would be.
Worn valves, leaks in the supply
line, low elevation of oil in the res
ervoir. improper hose connections and
inaccurate adjustment are the chief
causes Of short measure, although in
territorial fraud with an accurate
pump is sometimes practiced. Where
the valves are worn. few pumps will
deliver accurate measure, especially
after standing imperative for time.
Leaks in the supply line invariably
mean short measure, and cannot be
compensated for by making adjust
ments on the pump itself. When the
elevation OF the oil in the reservoir
falls below a certain point, the pump
delivers air instead of gasoline. II
the hose connection is lower than the
point of delivery, improper drainage
of the hose results. as much as
quart of liquid often remaining in
the hose. Improper pump adjust
ments VIII result in the pump deliy-
ering less. or more, as the case may
be, than 231 cubic inches to the gall
Ion.
Patrons of pumps should, there
fore, note that the pump does not
show evidences OF leaky valves.
Leaks in the supply line are indicated
by irregular delivery and sputtering
sound as the gasoline is withdrawn.
Observe that every revolution of the
pump handle is brought to the limit
of it's motion. Watch the indicating
device, to note that the correct num-
ber of gallons has. been delivered.
See that the hose is drained to the
last drop. Unless the pumps hose
connection is higher than the tank
of your car, do not patronize the
pump"

lntionizing communications even
faster than the railroads Ten years
ngo there were no automobiles in
Pekin. Since then the mileage OF
streets suitable for automobile traf-
nc has increased more than tenfold
and there are some 1900 motor cars
IN use in the city. Regular motor
bus service has been established in
certain parts of China. More than
500 miles of passable highways have
recently been constructed in the
provinces of Chilli and Shantung.
About 50 per cent of the cars in
North China are of American make.

PROTECT The EINISn

Changes in temperature exert an
extremely unhappy effect on the fin
ish of the car because of the differ
ence in the coefficients of expansion
of metal and paint and varnish To
insure the highly finished surfaces
from cracking, the car should be
housed in a garage maintained at
nearly uniform degree of temperature.
Also car owners who utilize their
barns as garages make q mistake in
SO doing, as the ammonia gases al
wa%s present in a stable are ruinous
TO .he vanished surfaces OF the car.

the high tension current skips across
the surface OF this foreign matter
instead OF going through the regular
channels. The obvious remedy is TO
wipe off the surface. The presence
Of moisture may be explained BY
the fact that It may be drawn in
with the air flowing through the
radiator or may condense on the
surface on a damp day. Grease OF
oil collects on the surface from oil
spray thrown out by the engine.

EASY STARTING

With some cars starting may be
facilitated by stopping the engine and
closing the choke on the carburetor
instead OF by shutting off the switch.
The engine stalls because Of the very
rich mixture il receives. Therefore
the next time the engine is cranked
the cylinders are full Of a mixture
which is just rich enough for easy
starting, since some OF the fuel will

SHIFT VALVES WHEN GRINDING

Every practical motorist xnows
that he cannot expect to make his
valves seat properly if he grinds them
without lifting them off their seats
as he grinds. This operation is SIM
plified by fitting spring under the
valve head so as to lift the valve
when pressure is removed.

standing. II is hardly necessary 20
add that after stalling the engine
in this way the switch should be
turned off to prevent waste OF cur

is used)-
