make such adjustments on cold
valves, because the heat engendered
in operation causes expansion of the
valve metal. which will completely
destroy the effect of adjustments
made when the metal is cold.
Obviously bad piston rings will
allow power leaks that prevent ef-
flcient operations at low speeds.
Inefficient Fuel Mixture.
Another common cause of poor
low speed operation is an inefficient
fuel mixture. The motor car engine
operates best on a certain definite
mixture of gasoline and air. Unless
this mixture is correctly proper

If you cannot get the best fuel mix

II is possible that poor fuel con.

RAILROAD TAKES
UP MOTOR
STUDY
Boston and Maine contern-
plates Bus and Auto
Truck Usages

NEW YORK. Dec. 8. - An
nouncement is made by the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad % the
establishment of a department to
study the subject Of motor truck
and bus transportation.
Howyard F. Fritch, formerly as
sistant general manager Of the
Eastern Massachusetts Street Rail
way, and Frank I. Hardy formerly
manager. of the Chelsea division of
the Eastern Massachusetts, have
begun service on the Boston and
Maine Railroad as assistants to
Homer Loring, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee.
Mr.. Fritch will give special at
tention to the study of motor trans
portation, both passenger and
freight, as related to Boston and
Maine traffic. Mr.. Hardy will re.
present Mr.. Loring in various in
vestigations.
'"The work to be undertaken by
Mr.. Fritch," says the statement
from President ]. H. Hustis Of the
Boston and Maine" Is OF particular
significance. The inroads Of motor
competition in Boston and Maine
territory have been constantly grow
ing, and have reached the stage
where the railroad must determine
what it's future attitude toward
this competition is to be. The
question in some sections Is whether
the railroad or motor truck can
best serve the territory. 1t Is APP
parent that in certain feds both
instrumentalities of transportation
cannot be continued, and that either
one or the other must prevail. The
railroads cannot continue to con.
tribute toward the building of high
ways and their upKeep in order to
substitute form of transportation
which is sapping railroad revenues,
and, in the case Of some branch
lines, reducing them almost to the
vanishing point.
This situation is not peculiar to
the Boston and Maine, out the fact
that in much of the territory which
1t serves its lines are paralleled by
highways especially adapted to
motor transportation makes the
Boston and Maine particularly suS-
ceptible to the inroads Of this form
of competition, both public and
private, and in both passenger and
freight service. The problem is
not necessarily one of competition,
but. involves the elimination Of ex-
pensive duplication and the adjust
ment of both forms of transporta.

Champion Spark Plugs

Europeans have no antagonisn

Of this he cites the results Of
the last Barracca Cup race, the
Italian airplane classic.
In the first place, he points
out, the plane in which Cham
pions were used won the race.
The performance given by these
spark plugs in the races, and
in thousands Of tests conducted
by the italian government, i'm
pressed Premier Mussolini,
spectator at the air races, so
strongly that he Immediately
ordered that the European

be changed to Champions, ac-
cording to advices to the Cham
pion company from its Italian
representatives. The Italian
government is using Champions
in it's aviation service. Two
large orders were recently ship
ped it.
The Barracca Cup race was
the second big Italian speed
event almost in consecutive
weeks in which motors using
Champions were overwhelming

finishes his blow with the right

You do not have to have the ball
