CLEAN WfDsHIELDs

Is much of the trouble that motor car drivers experience from headlight glare, due to the condition of their own windshields?
 The American Automobile associa- tion says yes.
 Dusty or dirty windshields greatly distort the light rays that come through them at night and thereby produce ad- 'ditional glare.
 The windshield can become diff

was drained few days previous and refilled.
 B. While the engine is running idle and also while driving there is ring ing noise, as from the flywheel. While the clutch is thrown out, the noise can not be heard.
 F. M. I.
 A maximum pressure of 30 pounds should be satisfactory. The fact that the pressure occasionally drops to zero would indicate that your oil strainer is dirty, oil passages are clogged, or the pressure relief valve sticks open. Clean the oil strainer and if trouble persists have the oil passages blown out with compressed air. If the trouble continues examine the pressure relief valve, putting in new valve parts as required. The ringing noise may be caused by some part scraping against the driven member of the clutch, or perhaps to loose rivets in the facing or to worn ball thrust bearing. If a careful examination does not reveal the trouble, the clutch should be taken apart.
 Dear Sir:
 What affect would it have oh the operation of the engine to machine the head off so as to give higher compress sion and use "Ethyl' gas for fuel? How much should be machined off to give best results? Would it require a different carbureter?
 c. B. s.
 Increased power and fuel economy would result. Experimental engines have been built for ethyl gas using 150 pounds compression with satisfaction as far as we have been able to learn. It is questionable, however, that you will be able to remove this much from the cylinder head. However, you should obtain a marked increase in power and economy by cutting the compression space down one-third. You may find it more feasible to buy a set of pistons to order from some piston manufac-

fusing lens if not properly kept clean. Each particle of dust. being partly transparent, serves to diffuse or bend light ray, and the result is that the man who looks through the windshield at an approaching headlight imagines that hes is the victim of someone else's carelessness. The glare is largely his own fault.
 A clean windshield will also reduce sun glare in day time, minimizing the possibility of an accident.

To combat the low grade fuels being sold to motorists, the design of the new mileage motor provides a "hot box" manifold of external character, which vaporizes the incoming gases. from the carbuetor, before they reach the com bustion chamber. This is a decided factor toward easy starting in cold weather.

Dear Mir. Oldfield:
 I read your articles every Sunday with great interest. My car throws gas while going down hill. l have had it to several service stations but they do not know the cause. It is so bad at times that all the windows must be opened. I do Tot have this trouble except when going down grade.
 l.. E. B.
 The trouble with your Essex is rather unusual. It may possibly be due to leakage of the valves in the vacuum tank, this permitting raw gaso- line to enter the suction pipe between vacuum tank and manifold, the excess of fuel producing the smell. Barney Oldfield:
 The inner bearing is breaking quite often. Please tell what is the cause. J. J. M. cannot advise you regarding the inner bearing as you failed to mention which inner bearing it is. Dear Sir:
 Would you oblige me with some in- formation and advice on the following questions.
 1. What should the average oil pressure be? With blade type gauge showing crankcase to be full of oil, while driving, the pressure at times drop to and does not go about 30.
 2. Within eight months, have burned four connecting rod bearings. In each case the crankcase was full of oil. In two instances the crankcase

SMOOTH PERFORMANCE

A marked snoothness char acterizes the performance of Dodge Brothers Motor Car. In keeping with. the policy of constant improvement, ef- fective measures have been taken to minimize vibration. Applied to the body, engine, clutch, brakes, and other vital units, these refinemcnts add immeasurably to the comfort of travel over boulevards and country roads.

 Will longer ring gear with smaller pinion to match give more to an auto mobile? A larger ring gear with smaller pinion to match will give you increased hill-climbing ability and less maximum speed, the amount depending on the new ratio as compared to the old. Dear Sir:

LOW LEVELS FOR BUTTER.
Weeks Record in Chicago Shows
Unusual Slump.

CHICAGO. April 19--The week end
ing April 19 in the butter markets
brought prices to the lowest level since
August, 1922, but the low prices caused
some reaction on buying to add to de

terest was apparent. Wholesale prices
for 90 score butter reached 30 cents at
Chicago, 351s at New York, 36 to 36h at
Boston and 36ts at Philadelphia, on
April II.
Scarcity of centralized cars probably
