Questions and Answers.

Questions and Answers. My dear Mir. Oldfield:
 1 have driven my car about 12,000 miles. It has been pumping oil for sometime. Which of the following plans would you suggest;
 1. Fit one-pience leak proof ring, cut oil grooves and perforate pistons.
 2. Cut grove so that wide two-piece ring can be fitted. Cut oil groove and perforate pistons.
 3. Cut groove so that wider two- piece ring can be fitted, no oil grooves or perforation.
 4. If wide ring is fitted, should it be top ring?
 5. If oil groves and perforations are cut, should this be below bottom ring? :? Is it possible to make pistons too tight so that proper fabrication would be interfered with? I beg to remain,
 -F. J. R.
 would not do any of the things suggested. An oil bumper should be taken down and the cylinders carefully measured from top to bottom. An out-of-round condition of .005 inch or more calsl for re-finishing the cylinder bores and fitting oversize pistons and rings. The ring design IS not so im- portant. The fitting of the ring is the thing. An ordinary step-joint or mi Ire ring, of good make and made to exact dimensions will do the work. Whether the piston should have oil holes is a matter of the particular en- zine design. If the present pistons have oil holes the new pistons should have them. Making oil holes larger will not stop oil pumping. If pistons are too tight fabrication may be impOs- sible and scoring may resuplt. Barney Oildfield:

MUCH DEPENDS
 ON. CAR DEALER
Economy In Ownership Cues
 tion Of Efficiency

What makes 1t expensive or eco- nomical to own and operate carp asks P. R. Mccormack, of Mccormack Brothers.
 "Not altogether the car specified tions,' says Mr. Mccormack, in answer ing his own question. Isn't it rather the degree of efficiency with which the local dealer puts at the command of the motorist the things which make daily car operation expensive or eco. nomical?
 '"The efficient car dealers can do as much to. reduce the cost of car opera tion as the manufacturers have done to reduce the cost of car ownership"

HEADLIGHT TIPS

When bulb burns out, It is best to replace both. to insure that the re- sistances are equal, so as to give both lamps equal brilliance. A lamp that has burned for long time will gem erally have higher resistance than a new one, even from the same original package. When used with a new bulb, it will get more than its share of voltage, burn brighter than the new voltage, burn brighter than the new one, but will soon burn out.

FIRPO ORDERS
 STUFF SPECIAL
Pampas Bull May Go In For Racing
 Game

Fast on the heels of the cabled news paSer reports that Luis Angelo Firpo one-time contender for worlds heavy ''the Wild Bull of the Pampas," and weight championship honors, intended to forsake the primrose path of the prize ring after his coming bout with Al Reich, comes word direct from Firpo himself, which comes to confirm the press rumors.
 A cablegram from the Argentine "gambino" to H. R. Hyman, sales man ager of the Stutz Motor Car company incorporated, sets forth information which indicates that Firpo, who, since his visit to Indiapanolis last fall, has been acting as distributor for the Stutz company in his native land, intends to enter thesmore prosaic paths of business in more vigorous way and on broad CT scale than before.
 Must Do 115 Per Hour
 However, true to his sporting in stinct, Firpo, in his cable, sets forth the interesting information that in ad' dition to the more quiet pursuit of sell. ing motor cars, he intends to invade the field of road racing, and has sent in an S. o. S. to the Stutz car manufacturers to provide him with special racing car that will do. at least 116 miles hourly and be especially adapted t muddy roads,"
 The cablegram states that Firpo hal organized a rather pretentious new com pany for the distribution of motor cars throughout South America, taking as ar active partner, the former Argentine branch manager of one of the American built cars.

TIME TO REBORE

When fhe crankcase begins to emit smoke on the hills through the breather tube or the oil filler pipe, it is sign that the engine gases are leaking past the rings into the crankcase. Motor ists are sometimes told that this is due to running on too thin oil and are mis- led accordingly.

however, they discovered some spots that had not been wiped away, and they went over the machine with me ticulous care and eliminated every trace of blood inside and out, before returning the hired machine to its garage.
 This machine, by the way. was an exact duplicate of Leopold's own Willys-Knight. The use of 8 hired machine proved one of the fatal flaws in their otherwise perfect allbi. They were supposed to have been riding around all afternoon and evening in Leopold's. car, but by the merest chance 8 reporter interviewed the chief garage man at the Leopold residence and found that Leopold's car had been in the garage all that day and evening, undergoing repairs.
 The next step in perfecting their alibi was the destruction of the port able typewriter upon which Leopold had written the letter to Franks de- manding $10.O00 ransom and assuring him his boy was safe and would be re- turned unharmea if the money was forthcoming. The keys, of the type writer were broken off and they. with the framework. were thrown into Lake Michigan at various points.
 And during the entire journey nei- ther of the murderers displayed the slightest remorse. Not hint of sym pathy for. the distracted parents or their victim or the agony being sui fered by their own parents and friends over the fendish crime.
 Anything is justiiable in the inter- ests of science" /" said Leopold, and that is the attitude of both. The interests of science" that were to be served in this case was to note the reactions, mental, sexual and physical, of a human being, a helpless boy, dying under the particular methods of death they had planned to employ.

Leopold, Loeb and Other Wierd, Grne-
 some Crimes, Chicago

Chicago Chicago has been the scene of many weird and gruesome crimes, like the Luetgert case, where the husband boiled his wife to shreds D a sausage vat and was hanged be- cause he neglected to destroy her we'd ding ring and 9 tiny sesamoid bone rom one of her feet.
 There was Johann Hoch, who spe- ciali2ed in marrying widows with some insurance and killing them with a se- erete deadly poison which he carried in 5he barrel of 3 fountain pen. By rub ping this poison in the palm of the hand, back of the cars or any moist spos death would ensue in few days. leaving no trace of the cause. .Hoch as, hanged because he made slight slip.in his work.
 Herman BHlik also specialized in D arYing insured widows and poison ing them, but his work was crude, and he died in prison.
 Holmes, of infamous Holmes Castle" notoriety, maintained four-story res idence in Englewood. His speciality was picking up orphan girls, chiefly rom remote states and with no one to question their fate. He employed them in his castle" insured their lives, poisoned them and shot their bodies lowp 2 long chute into quieklime 5ed.l But Holmes made the fatal error of operatingin Philadelphia, where he was, s,convicted and hanged.

but in none of them were all the prin- cipals the sons of uultimillionaires, powerful.in political, business and so- cial circles.
 Nathan Leopold, jr., 19 years old, and a Ph. D.. at IS, is the son of Nathan Leopold, owner of the Manitou steam ship line and other enterprises, iuclud- ing great box factory. His wealth is conservativelv estimated at S10000, ,000s
 Richard Loeb, fsllow.student and fel- Iow-murderer with Leopold, is the son of Albert H. Loeb, vice president of Sears, Roebuck x Co., whose estate is readily worth $10 600, ,000. All members of the Loeb family are very wealthy.
 Jacob Franks, father of the murdered boy, is a retired broker, who could com mand S4,000,000 easily, perhaps very much more.
 The cold-blooded attitude of the young murderers amazes all with whom they have come in contact. Following their confession they vent in automo- piles; under guard Of 9 squad Of detec- tives, and re-enacted the entire crime. They drove to the point where the boy was picked up from the street. struck over the head with padded chisel, smothered in robe and cloth thrust in his mouth. They indicated the point where the discovery was made that the boy was dead. five minutes after they had kidnapped him. Then they drove around for a time, and finally took a straight course to the Hegeswich swamp. During this ride the murdered boy was disrobed and his clothing kicked into bundle in the rear of the car. At the swamp the young mnr- derers showed how Loeb had remained in the hired car while Leopold carried the nude body of the boy to large culvert and thrust him into it. Had he pushed the body a foot further into the culvert, it is doubtful if the mystery would ever have been solved, as they had poured hydrochloric acid over the boys face to destroy his features, and the action of the swamp water soop would have corroded the flesh from his bones. It would have been almost im~ possible to identify the skeleton, as-. suming that it ever would have been found.
 The cunning Of the murderers and the careful plans they had made for the crime, which was conceived last November, was shown in the fact that Leopold had provided himself with rubber boots to be used in carrying the body into the swamp Muddy shoes might have afforded clue, but the boots were washed after he emerged from the swamp and this wiped out that chance of discovery.
 After the Kidnapping and murder the youthful criminals drove leisurely bach to the city, stopping at remote point to burn the bloody blanket ia which the boy had been smothered.
 Arriving at the Loeb residenee.' they took the clothing of uheir victim to the basement and burned it, but his shoes and belt could not be utterly destroyed, 50 they were taken to the lake front and buried. Then they washed the car carefully of blood spots. The next day,
