HORSE SENSE
TESTSF|ND
KNOCKS
Causes Of Knocks Are Many,
But Simple Tests Are
Effective.

The average repairman is ac-
quainted with the more common
members of the knock family.
Though it is difficult, il not i'm
possible, to state positively just
what may cause certain knock,
due to the fact that two different
causes may cause d similar knock,
the mechanic usually has a list
of tests which he applies. When
these tests have all been applied,
and the knock still. remains, the
question then becomes one of blind
cropping. trying this and that. with
the result that considerable time
is wasted. A discussion OF the less
frequently encountered knocks may
be Of value.
A compression knock Is caused
by the compression being too high
for the fuel I'm use. This condition
win usually be found In an old en-
CINE which carries compression
ratio which is too high for the
present-day grade Of fuel. AS the
general practice In engine design
is to give as high e. compression as
possible without knocking. the same
condition may prevail when q COM
paratively new car is moved from
one SSCJlOu OL the country 70 dAh-
other, as the fuel may vary con-
siderably. The remedy Is to place
a thicker gaskeS under the cylinder
head.
A knock may be produced by the
timing gear being eccentric, or by
the end Of the shaft being bent SO
that the gear binds as it turns.
A cam with q flat spot on the
heel may cause a click every time
the flat spot passes the valve tap
pet.
The automatic advance may be
struck, producing q knock due to
an excessively advanced spark.
An improperly adjusted front end
chain may cause q knock, due to
the slack being taken up first on
one side of the chain and then on
the other.
Too much pressure or air locks
in the oil line may also cause a
knock.
The cylinder head gaslxet may
have been moved when the head
was replaced, 50 that the gasket
is struck by the piston on the up
stroke.
These are q few Of the less
common knocks which may be very
difficult to locate. It Is well TO
remember that knocks may arise
from seemingly impossible causes

The Modern
Gypsy
Editorial from the New Haven
Comm Register.

OUuAAJ n6glSter.
There is q highway 3.3O5 miles
long, running from New York
through the principal points OF in
terest to San Francisco. When
ii is as well done all the way as
it is done part Of the way, it will
be worthy Of the name of Lincoln
which it bears. Over that high
way, as the months and years pass.
travel and will travel an impressive
number Of pilgrims. It is the in
tent and expectation that they will
not travel by "shanks' mare" but
will roll by the modern impetus OF
gasoline.
But even with the aid of gaso-
line, it takes several days to pro.
Gress 1905 miles. The pilgrims
must eat and sleep by the way.
Now, strange as it may seem, the
towns and cities along the Lincoln
Highway are not erecting big ho-
tells to fatten on the revenue from
the pilgrims. They are doing. as
many of have heard, q strange
thing which seems to US the OBJ
posite. 1t is said that the ma
jority of the important cities and
towns through which the highway
passes, at least in the states Of
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Cali
fornias have provided municipal
camping grounds on which tourists
may pitch their tents and larry.
This provides for the long reaches.
East Of indiana the distances are
comparatively negligible.
It viii be one Of the features,
apparently, Of this great transcon-
tinental highway that all along 1t
are to be these camps for the pill
grims. They are areas or hispi-
tality, as respects the attitude Of
the local residents. All of them are
provided with water and fuel. No
doubt facilities for purchasing other
things viii be abundantly offered.
Some Of these camps. It is said,
will accommodate 1000 persons at a
time and at some of them the
conveniences will be elaborate. So
the traveller over the highway, in
addition to his views Of the country
and It's varied scenery, will have
the advantage of observing human
nature in large hunks. 1t is i
novel form which gypsyang is
taken in our days, and 1t is most
highly interesting.

Auto Tips

Loss Of power and sometimes
burned bearings are caused by
using too heavy cylinder oil.
A car should never be over
loaded, as the excess weight is apt
to put too much strain on the tires.
Any hard substance, such as grit,
metal chips, etc, will render a per-
feet bearing useless in very short
while. v-
The gap of the spark plug should
be adjusted to the thickness of the
spark plug gauge provided by the
manufacturer.
Boiling in a solution of washing
soda and water is the best method
of cleaning spark plugs that have
become fouled with oil.
