Hon. n. c. Wallace First Secre-
tary of Agriculture to Use
a Motor Car.

In official Washington, a tradition
of more than thirty years standing
has just been shattered.
The secretary of agriculture, Hon.
Henry c. Wallace, now rides up and

Never before in the history Of the
department Of agriculture-it was es-
tablished in 1889 near the close OF
President Cleveland's first term-has
the holder Of this particular portfolio
had occasion to p~atronize a gasoline

drawn carriage in which the first sec

man, rode. was accepted as the official
vehicle of the department by all Of his
successors, and during the administra-
tons Of Presidents Harrison. Cleve-

Plays Queer Franks
ON Engine of Motor Cars

The engine -overheated more easily.
And the a was not so good on hill
work.
On returning home, however, the cid
pep came back. The engine performed
as we'll as ever and the car climbed the
hills with ease.
The answer to this mystery is al
titude. The higher the car climbs the
rarer is the atmosphere and the more
difficult becomes the engines ability
to perform.
Air Pressure
AS the car goes higher, the pres
sure of air is reduced. Normal air
pressure at sea level is fifteen pounds
to the square inch. But at Denver,
for example, which is a mile above sea
level, the air pressure is only twelve
pounds.
This reduction in air pressure has
a material effect on the power pro-
duced by the gasoline engine. The
compression Of the engine is reduced,
and this directly affects the power
behind the piston stroke.
The reduced weight of the air also
affects the combustion in the cylin-
ders. Besides lower compression,
Therefore, there is also a reduction in
the amount Of air needed for complete
combustion of the fuel. This means
that the supply Of fuel must be cut
down propOrtionately to maintain
proper combustion in the engine. All
this means less power.
To make up for this loss in power it
is best to open up the air intake,
rather than cut down on the needle
valve of the carburetor.
At higher attitudes, the boiling
point of water falls off. Which means
there is a greater danger Of overhead
ing the engine at such heights. There
fore, it is well to replenish the water
more often than at lower levels.
When the motorist comes Town
from the highlands he finds he has
to readjust his carburetor TO heavier
atmosphere, If he happened to do
this before he went up.

Missing of the engine is due often to
faulty spark plugs. Here are three

spark may jump from shell to terminal
because of a short shank and a wide
