Bad Plugs Cause Missing
and Jerking of Motors

There are few things more annoying
to the motorist than a missing, skip
ping motor. Besides the certainty
that this condition is imposing a Sc
rious strain upon the engine, clutch,
transmission and the rest of the pro-
polling system of the car, due to the
irregularity of the power impulses, it
means increased gasoline and oil con-
sumption and carbonized cylinders.
Too frequently motorists are prone to
suspect the carburetor and start to
tinker with the adjustments, when, as
a matter of fact, there is nothing the
matter with the mixture. The whole
trouble may be due to uneven spark
gaps, caused either by bending the
electrodes Internationally in removing
or cleaning the plugs, and sometimes
in replacing them, or by the points
becoming pitted to such an extent that
the gap is materially widened. BY
spacing the gap so that there is a
space of one thirty-second of an
inch between the actual firing surfaces
of the two points this condition may
be quickly and easily corrected.

Remove Scratches From
Car Body With Shellac

A car owner naturally takes pride
In the finish of a new car and endeav-
ors to retain it's mirror-like luster as
long as possible. But when work must
be done on the car the finish often
suffers. Often button will scratch
its way along fender or the slip
ping of a screwdriver will leave an I'M
slightly blemish. A method which has
often given satisfaction, says the Au-
tomobile Digest, is to apply several
coats of thin shellac until the scratch
has been completely filled. When the
last coat has dried it is rubbed with
crocus cloth and little olive oil, just
enough to rub out the ridges where
the new and old coats join.
Crocus cloth, used extensively by
Jewellers. is a polishing cloth OF a
much finer grade than the finest emery
cloth and will rub down a surface
without the semblance of scratch.
After no signs remain Of where the
two coats join, rundown with good
body polish will render the touch-up
inconspicuous and restore the surface
to its original appearance.

Plan to Keep Windshield
Clear in Moist Weather

1t is always annoying when at the
last moment one is in hurry to
take up meal or coming from out
of-doors into warmer temperature,
to find the lenses of ones glasses sud
denly clouded with steam.
Prevent this by washing the glasses
perfectly clean. Dry them on a soft
cloth, and then rub with cloth which
has been moistened with very small
amount of parafiin oil. All that is
needed is the thinnest film TO coat the
surface, yet not enough to attract
dust. This coating prevents the mois-
ture touching the glass. 1t Is convent
emit to have a cloth ready prepared.
The same plan is excellent to keep the
windshield Of the automobile clear In
damp weather.

Who did It? The question burned

ROAD COURTESYIS
OFTEN NEGLECTED.
Many Little Things Make
Motor Travelling Most
Difficult on Highways.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege CT Automotive Engineering, Chicago)
When you are driving along road
and someone approaching from behind
sounds his horn to pass, let him do so.
Many times when driving along the
highway you may have noticed drivers
give the signal to the car ahead and
try to pass only to have the car on
tho right hand side speed up.
Jange's Drivers Nerves.
1t certainly jangles drivers nerves
when he finds the car ahead speeding
up when he attempts to go by. There
is no excuse for this sort of thing.
If you want to pass, why should the
man on the right step on the throttle
and attempt to block you?
There is plenty of courtesy to be OBJ
served on the road besides mere the
ory. If we were more thoughtful of
the other fellow, motoring would be a
lot more pleasant.
Not Watching Road.
The other day a motoriSt reported
that he was coming from Gary and
was crossing the railroad tracks in
South Chicago. There is right angle
turn there, and it Is dangerous unless
low speed is maintained. Coming
around the turn boy was observed
driving a delivery wagon He was
taking about all the room to be had
on the highway and when this motorist
looked at him he found the chap was
busily engaged in reading letter and
was not watching the road at all
It is just such things as this In
stance that makes motor travelling hard
and troublesome If motorists would
drive sanely there would be fewer dis
asters on the highways.

George added. Immediately after
ward he took Ellen away.
They went to the Port Washington
house. and George came in to talk to
her aunt and grandfather Ellen hard
ly spoke. She went to the door, to
say goodnight to him, and thank him.
He thought she looked i'll.
But she was in her place In the
courtroom few days later when
Thomas Gibbs Josselyn was sentenced
to penal servitude for the term of his
natural life, for the peculiarly afro
cious crime of numbering his own ia
Their.
"And somehow, one lives through it
all, George" Gibbs said later. He was
behind bars now, but astonlshingly
serene and strong. He was nervously
anxious to have the events OF the
next week over. when he should be
transferred to the big prison. Il want
you to take Tommy, and get away
from this, Ellen" he said, firmly.

"Oh, Gibbs--r' she whispered. with
a sudden stoppage of breath.
Eyes, 1 know" he said quickly, sym
pathetic for her distress. "But you
must remember this. If ] can think
of you, living quietly somewhere, not
TOO unhappy, it's going to brace me.
I'm not any better than lots of other
fellows who have been up against II,
Ellen. And II, as you say. something
new comes to light, why then Wen be
glad we faced the music with some

be here"

Gibbs has changed" George said, as
they drove home. Il am amazed at
him. Always fastidious. exacting. au-

no words, even if there had been
words to say. Blindly Ellen followed
George to the courtroom. With quick
efficiency the officials were filling their
places The faithful newspaper men,
their dinners left to cool, hurried In.
1t was seven o'clock; the cold Feb
ruary dark had closed down hours ago.
The courtroom was brightly lighted,
and warm. His honor, who had also
been dining, came in. He had adj
dressed this same jury In his kind,
wise voice five hours ago. After Ry-
ans furious tones he had seemed all
temperance and justice to Ellen. He
had charged them that Ii there was
reasonable doubt as to whether the
crime of murder in the first degree had
been committed, they were in duty
bound to give the prisoner the benefit
of that doubt, and to find for murder
in the second degree, or manslaughter.
Now the old man looked benignly
over his glasses at the twelve tired
men who fled back into the box. And
Ellen looked from face to face with
agonized surmise.
The blow fell with merciful quick
ness. 1t was only few minutes be-
fore the whole thing was over. Gibbs
preserved the quiet dignity of manner
that had marked him all through the
trial. If sickening fear of the fu-
ture swept over him he gave no sign
of 1t. He looked with concern toward
his wife, but Ellen had mercifully lost
consciousness and had quietly dropped
against Georges shoulder.
She recovered Immediately, and they
saw Gibbs again: q criminal now, con-
victed of murder in the second degree.
All the freedom of their recent inter-
course would be ended; she had fore
seen that. What else had she fore
seen? The indignities of shaver head
and striped clothes, the filth and ugli-
ness of the prison. the locked cell
door, the terrible atmosphere that
surrounds men for whom there Is no
place in the green world
But she came up to him smiling.

A Strange Paradox.

Robert H. Montgomery, C. p. A.,
in the Worlds Work: One of the
strangest paradoxes in history is that
alert and able American business men
pay less attention to the largest item
in their expense accounts than they
do to the smallest item. The largest
item is Federal taxes and they laugh
about it (perhaps little shamefaced-
ly) and say they guess it's one of
the products of the war and can't be
helped. They just don't know how
much their tax bills were last year or
how much they will be next year.
They hope, but are not sure, that
many of the doubtful items for the
year 1917 are pretty well settled.
They will inquire. They do not know.
This condition has existed since
1917 and will continue to exist unless
the said alert and able business men
get busy. The fact is that most of
the uncertainty was, and is, unneees-
sary.
