TRACE TROUBLE TO IGNITION
Efficient Performances Call for Re-
movaI and Cleaning of Distributor
Head Monthly.


1t has been stated that at least 80
per cent of motor trouble can be traced
to ignition. For efficient performance,
the distributor head should be removed
and cleaned at least once every month
Just unfasten the clip and rotate the
head until it can be lifted off. Inspect
the distributor head for cracks and re-
place 1t with a new one if any are
found. The only repairs that can be
made on distributor are to tighten
loose connections and clean the inside.
AS the rotar is in direct contact with
the distributor points in some systems,
it is a good plan to wipe these points
with thin film of vaseline after they
have been cleaned. The best method
of cleaning is to brisl1ly rub the points
with brass polish or the rubber on the
end of a pencil. Emery cloth should
never be used.
Most distributors are equipped with
oil holes or fittings, and as the dis
tributor shaft revolves at high rate
of speed it is essential that you apply
oil in these recesses at definite inter-
walls.

smooth. Cool and pour into the pastry
shell and cover with a meringue made
with the whites of the eggs and six
tablespoonfuls Of sugar. Bake until

AUTOMOBILE
R4mF1IN'ESMlA

The gasoline bill can be reduced by
never allowing the engine to run idle.
A great deal more gasoline is used In
this way than is suspected.
Slamming of doors on car is prac-
tice which should be avoided at all
times. Persistent slamming racks the
hinges and loosens the doors until they
become wobbly and hang loosely.
When removing valves from an en-
CINE for any purpose, 1t is of the ut
most Importance to keep them separate
and replace them in the identical seats
from which they were removed.
Folding rain curtains so that the
celluloid lights do not rub against each
other and scratch is simply a matter
of inserting sheets Of newspaper be

BAD COMPRESSION is
HUGE THIEF OF FUEL
Faulty Running Of Engine Wastes
Much Gasoline.

Thousands of gallons of gasoline are
wasted every day by motorists because
of the inefficient operation Of their
engines.
An important detail to watch to keep
the engine running efficiently is the
compression. A motor with faulty COM
preston may appear to run fairly well
when the car is being driven at rea-
sonable speed or when it Is working
hard. Lost compression shows up
when the car is being driven at COM
paratively low speed.
Under either of these conditions the
engine will run with an irregularity
that makes the car jerk or jump in
stead of running steadily, as it should.
This indicates that there is consider
able loss of power and that much more
gasoline has to be burned than when
the engine is developing its full power.
In fact, gasoline mileage may be cut
nearly In half through compression
loss and still the engine may continue
to run fairly well. according TO the
ideas of an amateur driver
If an engine is not running well and
a compression loss is suspected, the
simplest way to detect it is to use the
crank and turn the engine over by
hand. and thus feel the compression
on each individual cylinder.
You will nearly always find that
some pistons will go over compression
much more easily than others, and
this means that, somewhere there Is a
leak In this cylinder.
The number of miles which car
should run without having the valves
reground varies greatly, depending OF
oiling and other engine conditions.
With the average car under normal
running conditions, however, it is prob
ably wise to have the valves ground
at least once every 5000 to 10000
miles. depending on the operating con.
dition of the motor.
