Adiust Tappets After Grinding.

Grinding valves, lets them down
deeper into their seats. In order to
make sure that they will seat tightly

tappets is necessary. This operation
should never be performed when the
engine is cold. Run the engine until
it is warm, stop il and adjust the

tappets. In an L-head engine this
adjustment is accomplished by meanc
of the lock-knotS around the upper
end OF the valve-lifters. Thin span
ner wrenches are required for the
job. Instruction books usually call
for \ play of $1,000 of an inch be-
tween the end of tappet and the
valve stem. In new machine a
thickness gauge can be used to meas
ure this clearance. When the ma
chine has been running for some time,
however, the face of the litter fire.
quently becomes uneven and after
that the thickness gauge is useless.
overhead valves are adjusted by
lengthening or shortening the push
RODS which actuate the rocking arms.
For such valves the thickness gauge
is always very useful
The most objectionable feature about
improperly adjusted tappets is not
the fact that they are noisy so much
as the damage they do to engine
operation through improper valve
timing. Too much play in tappets
means 1ate-opening valves and loss
of power, while not enough play will
prevent the valve from seating, and
will rob the cylinder of its compress

THE OWNER-DRIVER'S
COLUMN

Quebeck, Canada.

Overhnuling Piston Rings.
No automobile engine which did 5000
miles last season should be allowed 10
start the next seasons work without q
piston overhaul and newly ground valves.
Because your car can run we'll when it
was put in for the winter does not mean
that 1t is in first-class condition for
another seasons work, Perhaps your
car was new and-the compression was
good, but We have often seen piston
rings which fitted their grooves perhaps
little too snugly, seized solidly in the
groove when taken down. While no
actual harm may result from such a
condition, a stuck ring means the same
as no ring in the groove. There is al
ways an accumulation Of carbon in the
bottom Of the piston ring grooves after
a seasons work. and nothing but re-
moyal OF the rings will permit it's re-
moval. This is one of the most i'm
portant features of an engine clean
up and should not be overlooked. Free
working pistons rings mean good COM
preston, less oil pumping trouble, and
smooth engine operation.
No less important are the valves. To
let an engine go into next season with
dirty valves Is not giving the engine
a fair show. The valves may not be in
need Of grinding: the seats may even
be clean, yet the stems are sure to have
carbon deposits on them or they are
more or less gummy around the guides.
The valves should be removed and
cleaned. If their condition demands it
they should be reground
How to DO Valve Grinding.
There are twoNparts to a valve seat,
one on the valve head. the other on
the engine block. and they are of
equal Importance. A correctly seated
valve has polished strip of about
one-eighth of an inch wide around it's
entire bevel, and this seat rests tight
ly on similar strip on the seat
around the valve port. II upon re-
moving a valve it is found to possess
a wide. bright seat without any pits
or dark. carbon coated patches, grind
ing Is unnecessary and should not be
done. The polish a valve. seat ac-
quires from running is a G'great deal
finer than can be put on by grinding
compound.
The exhaust valves are. however,
usually in need of regrinding at the
end of a seasons work, and 1t is likely

CHINESE WALK MILES
TO GET AUTO RIDES
Natives Enjoy Bus Trips and Then
Return Home on
Foot

'.Ir ;e no uncommon thing for a
poor Chinese to take an automobile
bus ride for a couple OF hours and
then walk back home because he can
not afford tho return Journey" says
Trade Commissioner William !. Irvine
OF the Department of Commerce. just
back from tour of investigation OF
the automotive markets of Asia.
Prom this you can conclude safely
that education OF the Chinese INTO the
Joy and utility of the motor vehicle
is not 4 thing Of the distant future.
What the Chinese do need is roads.
and they are being built, under far
from propitious conditions, and the
automobile is the cause. The desire
10 ride in motor vehicles is reSpon-
sible for at least 90 per cent of the
road construction that is now going
on in China Here is how ii works
out: A group OF Chinese are attract
cd by tho bus idea; there iS no road.
but by paying kumsha to the author
tiles they secure the right to con-
struct one.
Usually it is a dirt highway. and
he builders are given AN exclusive
franchise to operate vehicles over il.
Part OF the revenues collected from
fares goes for protection. The road
then becomes toll road. and every
body using il. has to pay for the
right. The rich as well as the poor
-ide in the buses. and ii IS not long
before some Of the really rich decide
70 buy a car for themselves, so that
they can ride over the route in splen-
dor and comfort instead of in jam.
Once the rich man has a car of his
own he wants to go farther than the
bus road will take him, and his in
terest in the extension Of the road is
aroused.
And 50 it goes on progressing in
seometric ratio; every car means
moro miles of road, and every mile of
new road means more cars the area

TURNS $3.50 into
HUNDRED MILLION
John North WilIys, in Fifteen
Years, Builds Up Great Au.
tomobiIe Industry.

On crisp winter morning, fifteen
years ago a young man walked
feverishly out of the old Grand Hotel
in indianapolis, carrying a handgrip
containing a miscellaneous assort-
ment OF nickels. dimes. quarters, half
dollars and bills of small denomi-
nations. The amount was exactly
$3.50. and the man who had raised this
sum overnight was John North Will
lys, president of the NVillys-
Inc, today capitalized at 100000, 900.
In those memorable DAYS $3.50 in
genuine currency represented real
wealth The town OF Indianapolis
like most other towns throughout tho
country, was on a. scrip basis, and
Indianapolis banks were not paying
out any real money-that is only in
rare instances. The getting of that
$3.50 was strong tangible evidence Of
ability to finance.
Had TO Meet Pay Roll.
On the preceding Saturday Mr..
wiIlys had gone to Indianapolis from
Elmira, y. y. to find out why he
could not get delivery OF 500 over
land cars he had sold.
Arriving at the Overland head
quarters he was told that the COM
pany was going into the hands OF a.
receiver Immediately. That was the
gloomy Sunday morning message the
manager of the Overland Company
handed to Mr.. WHY'S. The $3.50 was
necessary to meet some pay checks $
the following day.
This amount. which Mr.. willys
raised averted the threatened Mon
day morning calamity. but it did not
entirely revive the condition Of tho
company. More money was required
and for five weeks MIR. Willys made
frantic journeys here and there.

keep alive the spirit of industry in

so feet wide.
Situation Desperate.
Machinery was worn, material was
short and the days were dark. Only
by superhauman determined effort did
John WHY'S keep the working force
supplied with the material and parts
to continue turning out cars.
The situation was this: Overland
Company owed $4,000, and did not
have $50 to call it's own.
Affairs were desperate when a
friend came forward with $4,000,
which later was cut to $500, and
with this amount Mr.. WHY'S started
in to revolutionize the organization,
put it on it's feet and make cars in
numbers hitherto unheard Of

came president, treasurer, general
