HOW TO START
STALLED CAR
TweNe-Foot Length of Insulated
Wire Connected as Shown
Did the Trick.
ACTION WHEN IGNITION FAILS
Not Always Easy to Determine Which
Is Right Terminal on coil-care
Is Necessary to Secure
Good Connection.

A motorist in distress recently
asked for help because his ignition
had failed. In view of a threatened
snowstorm and rapidly approaching
darkness, it was desirable to remedy
the trouble as quickly as possible. A
hasty examination showed that the
fuse was intact; but the maze of wir-
ing of the switchboard and the con-
Meeting instruments was far too COM
plicated to detach and make any re-
pairs, even with the manufacturers
chart at hand to explain the intri-
cacieS of the wiring. Nevertheless, We
had the motor running in less than
five inmates. The means used was
simply a 12-foot length of insulated
wire connected as shown.
When the ignition fails and the
trouble seems to be somewhere be-
tween the coil and the battery, the
quickest way to get the engine going
is to run a special wire direct from
the battery to the coil.
Inasmuch as there are usually from
two to four terminals on the coil, it is
not always easy to say which is the
right one. Sometimes the manufacture
er's instruction book will indicate it,
or the right terminal may be deter

KEROSENE NOT GOOD
AS ENGINE CLEANSER
Drained Case Should Be Treated
With Fresh Engine Oil.
Engineers Have Figures to Prove
That New Method Is More Econon-
ical-Drain About Every 500
Miles During Winter.

Kerosene used to be good stand
by on which motorists depended for
cleaning their engines.
Now come oil engineers with the
declaration that kerosene causes a
loss. of Is per cent of the total lu-
bricating capacity of an automobile.
So, instead Of using kerosene to
flush out the crank case, those who
have studied this phase of motoring
say the drained case should be
cleaned with fresh engine oil.
That costs more money, and
arouses a bit of suspicion, when it Is
known that this advice comes from
the oil companies But their engineers
have the figures to prove that, in the
long run, the new method is the more
economical.
Engines that have any form Of
splash fabrication have oil troughs
and pockets in which part of the kero-
sene used for flushing is sure to re-
main. In some cars, say the oil en-
gineers, the kerosene retained in this
way represents IS per cent of the to-
tai lubricating capacityaof the car.
1t is safer, therefore, TO use the reg
ular kind of engine oil. The crank
case should be drained about every
1000 miles in summer, and every 500
miles in winter. Every time the
change is made, the case should be
flushed with engine oil instead Of kero-
sene.
The oil used for this purpose can
be put TO other lubricating uses.
Regular cleaning of the crank case
means longer life for the engine. The
carbon that accumulates there in a
seasons run is enough to wear down
the bearings, pistons and cylinder walls

"a large factor In decentrallzing city

the United States is on farms. Sixty

third. The 80 odd millions of people
living In cities of $4,000 population

mined by trial; usually it will be the
terminal which indicates a live cir
cult when tested by the simple proc
ess of rubbing the special wire on IL
when the breaker points are closed.
In connecting the end of the special
wire to a terminal, be sure that the
regular wire has first been discon-
-nected.
The other end of the special wire
should be connected with the side of
the battery that is not grounded. Care
must be exercised to obtain a good
connection at this point. Scrape the
electrode clean, and If any difficulty is
then experienced in obtaining good
spark, make a nail hole in the cleo
trode and wedge few strands of wire
into it, as illustrated.
When this connection is made, the
ignition switch will be imperative,
but the engine may be stalled by
bringing the car to stop and letting
the clutch in gently while the brake is
on. Care should be taken to crank
the engine Immediately after making
the connection and TO disconnect the
wire as soon as the motor stops in or

overheated.-M. r. ", In Popular

Leake was the only man on the squad out of shape, having sustained bruised leg, but will be ready to go Saturday night, when the Crimsons encounter the strong outfit from B. A. c.
 Last year Alabama defeated B. A. c. in two encounters. but this season, with much stronger team, the Blues are determined to have re- venge, and are .journeying to Ala bama with the intention of taking the Crimsons in tow.
 With Hahn, Montgomery or Floyd at forward; Stubbs at center, and AL ford and Mandy att guards, the vis- itors will have a combination that will cause the Crimsons considerable worry. The Blues have played two games this season. winning from Union and Baylor by one-sided scores.
 Alabama has played six games, winning all, and has shown fine teamwork for early season games. The game Saturday night against the B. A. c. should prove to be one of the hardest and fastest seen on the uni yersity court.

Sandy Herd Holes in One for 17th Time

LONDON, Jan. 4,-AleXander Herd, open champion in 1902 and still a reliable player. holed out in one yesterday for the seventeenth time in his golfing career, thereby set ting a mark which experts assert has never been even approached by another golfer. James Braid, with eleven ones to his credit, is believed to be the runner-up. Harry Vardon, winner of six worlds championships. only once holed his toe shot.
 sandy" Herds seventeenth was achieved at the Coombs Hill links in Surrey, where 13 of his other similar shots have been made. He told a reporter for the Daily Mail that an American friend had prom ised to give him a solid gold butter when he raised his record to 20. But don't suppose I'll ever win." he added.
