FORD SHIP TO
 FOREIGN PORT
Steamer Onondaga Leaves Detroit For BuenOs
 Aires

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 12.-Detroit sent its first ship to distant foreign port Wednesday afternoon, Nov. D, when the Steamer Onondaga of the Ford Motor company's fleet sailed from the River Rouge plant for Buenos aires, Argentina, South America. It carried a cargo of manufactured automobile parts, the first of the kind ever ex- ported direct from any Great Lakes port.
 The Onondaga left tho dock of the Ford plant at 12 80 o'clock, nosed her way down the Rouge to the Detroit river and then headed out into the open water with Montreal, Canada, as the first stop of the voyage to the South American coast.
 Departure of the Onondaga created something of a furor in the offices of the customs officials here, where clear ance papers were issued for the first time to a ship sailing to foreign port.
 Application for the papers from the Ford Motor company presented the officials with something new so far as the port of Detroit is concerned and there was hurried perusal of records and rules governing the issuance of such papers.
 While the Onondaga is the fist mer- chant vessel to sail from Detroit to foriegn port, officers and several mem- bers of the ships crew are all old salt water seaman and the voyage will

mentioned for insulation permitting ground. Finally examine the main high tension wire (running from coil to cen ter of distributer) for faulty insula- tion.
 Unusual causes of missing should not be overlooked. If the mixture heater Is disconnected or broken, missing may result, and speaking of mixture 1t should rot be forgotten that this trouble may be caused b va defective carburetor ad- justment OF to leakage due to blowhole or a defective gasket in the intake man ifold. Unusual causes of missing which have proved very expensive to locate include hole in the top of the piston, and a hole worn in the piston by the top ring. In both these cases lack Of compression was noted when the engine was cranked by hand and the trouble was diagnosed as valves in need of grinding. In this connection experience proves that when the valves have been properly ground and adjusted it is a waste of time to suspect them further, and the next step is to look for some defect in the piston.
 Missing may be caused by leakage of water into the cylinder either through a defective gasket or through blow hole in the cylinder well. In a few cases missing has been produced by a hole in the wall separating two intake valve ports.
 Next to faulty ignition one of the most frequent causes of missing is leaky valves. Either leaky intake or exhaust valve may cause missing but inasmuch as a leaky intake valve will also produce backfiring into the carburetor, the in- take valves may be eliminated unless backfiring is present. Leakage at an exhaust valve is usually due to need for grinding but it should also be noted that the valve may be warped, or the push rod may be adjusted so tightly that the valve does not seat fully. Missing at high speed may be due to weak valve springs, and missing at all speeds may be caused by sticking valve. If the valve sticks but slightly the remedy is to pry it loose and oil the stem, but if sticking continues it may be necessary to remove the valve and straighten the stem (if warped) or install new valve, the latter is often cheaper.
 In concluding it should be remarked that a very slight backfiTe, noticed par ticularly when the throttle is closed, may be produced by an exhaust push rod with excessive clearance.

ket days, hours and location they pre- ferred, what kind of produce they could bring and what time it would be ready to market, and to suggest names and addresses of other producers who would also be interested in a public market.
 We visited the Grange and Cleaner meetings and explained our project. We drove out into the farming dis tricts, calling on the farmers, explain ing the objects for which we were working, and suggesting that women bring the goods to market if the men were too busy, as the majority of buy. CTS would be women."
 One of the objections rs ssed by the council committee, Mrs. Fran said, was that producers would not appear on market days. In this the committee was mistaken, as II producers brought their wagons to market the opening day, the second day 20 appeared, and the third day 42. There were never less than II wagons on the market, Mrs Frain said, and the maximum the first summer was 72.
 The market was governed by simple rules, which still hold. Only produc CTS are allowed to stand on the mar ket, and each pays 15 cents for the privilege. This nominal sum is charged to pay the salary of the farmer who acts as market master, it covers the cost of cleaning the street after mar ket hours, and advertising The first hour is for consumers only, the sec ond hour both consumers and dealers are allowed to buy. This is to give the consumer first choice.
 We endeavored from the start" Mrs | Train continued, ito make the market of mutual advantage to producer and consumer. To secure this result we fixed the prices as nearly halfway be tween wholesale and retail as possible. '
