knew that 10 the engine overheated
on the hext long hill he would be due
for a warped valve or two, with con
sequent loss of power and speed.
He, therefore, planned his driving
so as to attain his maximum speed
when going down hill. In this way it
was possible for him frequently to
coast without losing time. This
served to cool the engine so that he
could drive uphill slower with less
possibilit of trouble. He won out
with clear case of competent driv-
ing.
Any car owner can do the same,
once he rids himself of the idea that
the endurance built into the car is

ance is in the modern cars, but it has

No. 46-The Spark.

Smith did not have to wait until he
met the repair man again in order to
learn more about the ignition system
and the spark. II all came 10 him
through actual experience. That it
is necessary to have an advanced
spark when driving under normal
conditions was proved to him rather
forcibly when he was compelled to
stop four times during short ride in
order to allow the engine TO cool off.
For a time he was puzzled, because
the engine had plenty of oil and wa.
ter, and road conditions were quite
normal. But, trained to know how
to look for trouble, he examined the
spark control mechanism and found
that the ball Joint at the end of one
of the levers had slipped out. The
distributor head remained in the re-
| tarded position all the time. regard
less Of what he did with the spark
lever on the steering wheel.
But why does il make any differ
ence if the spark is retarded?' he
asked in relating his experience.
To fully understand that" | ex-
! planned, you should first know that
! gasoline vaDor when compressed in
the cylinders and ignited really does
not explode. 1t simply burns. but
| burns so inStantaneously that for all
| cred as exploding. But b. 'timin Z
| the spark this element of time In
| Nolved in ths burning process must
! be taken into conSidera tion. Theo-
retically the spark should arrive at
| the plugs when the pistons have
reached the top of their compression
! strokes. The pisuons should then be
pushed downward by the force Of the
! expanding gas, and thus, in cranking
| the main shaft OF the engine, convert
| power into motion.
But suppose this gas takes a frac-
| tion Of a second to burn. With the
| fiywheel of the engine making 1900
| revolutions per minute, the pistons
are going to reach the end of each
| power stroke before the gas is com
pletely burned. Then what happens
As the pistons go up on their exhaust
strokes lot of this gas vapor which
| is Still burning is pushed out through
| the exhaust. Thus the exhaust valves,
cylinder head and nanifolds become
| overheated. The circulating water
begins To boil. And then the gas
vapor loses much of its power through
| too much pre-heating. The engine
loses power, everything orerheats-
and you are finally forced to stop.
TO prevent all this the spark is
timed SO that for ordinary driving it
reaches the plug before the pistons
strokes. The gas actually starts to
burn before it should, but with the
pistons travelling upward so fast COM
bustion is SO rapid that vapor is COM
pletely burned at the end of the
power stroke. If the engine is under
pulling strain, however, it is nee
essary to retard the spark somewhat.

they are rough or dirty the cylinder:
will miss occasionally. But in your
distributor there Is a clearance OF
one sixty-fourth of an inch between
each button and the tip of the rotor
as it passes by. This Is better
system because there is less wear and
the spark is less liable to skip
though you should clean out the cover
with a dry rag occasionally to make
sure that there is no dirt. oil or water
around"
Then the spark travels from the
rotor to the buttons without actual
contact" Smith asked in amazement
Certainly" I assured him. The
current is under high tension and can
jump much farther than that"
But II il jumps in the distributor
how does 1t still have enough voltage
to jump 1t the plugs?"
THAT requires d technical explana-
ton" | replied. But the fact is that
by making it jump in the distributor
the current jumps better at the plugs
In fact. there are spark plug attach
ments on the market called .intensi-
fiers. which are designed for the pur-
pose
Smith decided then and there tina,
the electric system on a car was
about the most wonderful part about
it, And when | told him that less
than a quarter of a century ago the
ignition" consisted of a fame in q
tube he concluded that motorists
don't half appreciate what great

| for the pistons are then travelling up
ward too slowly to overcome the
Napors premature tendency to ex
pand. In some makes of cars the
spark is automatic and the driver has
no control over it,"
We'll. how is the timing OF the
spark plug changedT Smith asked
BY changing the position of the
distributor" | replied. a slight
turn to the right causes the breaker
points to open and close sooner. That
gives an advanced spark. There are
definite limits both ways. of course:
for it the spark comes too early-as
is sometimes the case--the burning
gas vapor pushes the pistons back
ward and upsets the whole scheme"
To illustrate these points I had re-
moved the distributor head. Pres
emily Smith noticed that the contact
points which lead to the ignition
wires were rough and oyidized r..

For Years automobile dealers have
been forced to run along with depict

not keep ahead of the demand. the
announcement reads. NO other busi-

UNCLE SAM STILL OWNS
LARGE AMOUNT OF LAND

Uncle Sam is still a large land
owner despite the thousands of grants
that he allots each year.
According to figures of the Interi-
or Department., the approximate area
of unreserved, iunappropriated public
lands outside of Alaska still owned
by the United States up to the close
of the last fiscal year amounted to
186,604,733 acres.
These public lands are located in
twenty-four states and are exclusive
of forest reservations, Indian reser-
vations and other reserved lands.
The state of Nevada has the largest
unappropriated public domain with
52,282,278 acres. Utah comes next
with 28,767,687 acres, while California
was third with 19,636,172 acres. Kan
sas held the cellar position on the
list with 2,038 acres.
