speed running. An air valve lifts
up as the engine runs faster, thus
permitting more air to enter the mix
ing chamber and more gas to be
sucked up from the gasoline well or
bowl.
"Your carburetor has two separate
jets, but there is no adjustment on
the air except in starting when you
choke off all the air. The adjust
ments regulate the amount of gaso-
line going through the jets. The
amount of air is regulated by ventura
tubes built for the particular engine
they work with. Cutting off gasoline
on either one of the jets makes for
a leaner mixture either on the low
speed or high, as the case may be
The intermediate speed is blend of
the two, and 1t is in trying to get
a good blend that skill is required
Gas Flow Regulation.
ION my carburetor there is low
speed gasoline jet adjustment. but
for the high speed there is an air
screw which adjusts the position Of
an air valve and the tension of the
spring that operates ii. Below this
valve is the high speed gas jet. Engine
suction then operates the air valve
automatically and, in turn, regulates
the gasoline flow through the high
speed jet.
There are numerous methods of
providing for extra fuel for quick
acceleration. These adjustments are
made at the factory, but. they can he
altered If necessary. / wouldn't ad-
wise you to change any vital part Of
the carburetor until you make sure
first that the simple adjustments are
right
But how can I tell that?" Smith
asked.
Always make adjustments when
the engine is operating at its normal
temperature. And then turn adjust
ments but one notch at a time until
by trial and error you have found
an ideal adjustment. A carburetor
adjustment may be weeks job.
That's one reason why car owners are
warned against touching the carbure-
tor. It's one instrument you cannot

70. 125:-Studying the Carburetor

Acting upon the advice of manu-
facturers and service men that he
should refrain from tampering with
the carburetor, Smith decided to wait
until he had acquired considerable
knowledge in the operation OF his car
before going into this subject. To
his surprise, however, he learned that
he had made a mistake In not delving
into the subject sooner.

has a well or chamber where a re-
serve of gasoline is kept. All gaso-
line for the various carburetor Jets
is drawn from this well. and the level
of the gasoline in the we'll itself is
maintained by means of a float and
valve.
Every carburetor has some sort of
jet through which gasoline is sucked
and every one of them has some
sort Of tube or jet through which air
is admitted. That is the second ma jor
feature. The third Is the mixing
chamber, which Is directly below the
throttle.

throttle is opened the suction at this

to study the situation first hand
Upon glancing at the carburetor on
my car however, he noticed an en-

With prices reduced on every make
of car except one Che exception being
due to "A drastic cut at the beginning
of the YEAR,. many motorists are won
dering how 1t is done. In some quar-
ters ii is rumored that the price cuts
have resulted from cheapening proc
esses, but the facts revealed show that
something more progressive has hap
pened.
One manufacturer has been able TO
take a big slice off prices by making
parts intercha ngeable between his six
and his straight eight. There are. OF
course. necessary exceptions, but pis-
tons, connecting rods, aXles, springs
and so on are the same for both
models. Overhead and manufacturing
costs are reduced in a number Of
WAYS.
Another manufacturer of SKIES and
eichts has taken a similar step. while
still another maker is concentrating
on two body styles-a four-passenger
roadster and a five-passenger sedan.
Both Bodies are steel Much detail
has been eliminated in making these
new models.
A new tendency is to put larger
bodies on smaller chasses. Larger
bodies cost less to build than larger
chaSSeS. Smaller chasSes permit the
use of smaller engines without sacri-
fee of power.
There is a tendency to use plain
glass for the rear windows of closed
cars instead of plate glass. Plate
glass is unQuestionably superior. but
some of the car makers think there Is
no point in having such good glass
where 1t is not appreciated. In this
connection many recall that at one
time platinum was used for contact
points in the distributor.
Another reason for reduced prices
is that some manufacturers are salts
fed with less than S100 profit per car
becau of a big sales volume.

Elevated ROADWAY
ALONG LAKE IN VIEW
Project to Accommodate 16 Cars
Abreast, Chicago to Milwau-
kee, Regarded Possibility.

An elevated roadway may be built
along Lake Michigan to expedite
through traffic between Chicago and
Milwaukee, IL plans now being formu-
lated materialize.
Sixteen cars driven abreast may be
accommodated on the proposed high
way. 1t will be possible to make the
trip between the two cities in less tina n
an hour and a half. The estimate OF
cost Of construction is S1sS. 900 a mile.
This extended lake drive will have
six separate lanes for motor cars.
Speediest cars are to be accommodated
on inside lanes, where they may make
from so to 80 miles an hour. Cars
travelling at rates varying from 80 TO
so miles an hour are to use the second
pair of lanes. while the outside lanes
will be for cars going from Is to 80
miles an hour.
Plans call for building the road 200
feet from the present shore line on re
filled land. Its width is to be $50 feet
and it's length 80 miles. The drive will
be elevated II feet above the lake.
Crossings, pedestrians and rail cars
are to he eliminated from the new
roadway. Crossroads are to tunnel
under the drive, with ramps leading
up To the through.traffic road. There
will be no place on the elevated road d
for pedestrians, but they will he a BILE

Two Parking Pointers.

often in selecting a parking space
it is desirable to know whether the
cars ahead and behind are likely to
remain standing for some time, as. for
instance. when parking at theater
time. If the owners are coming for
their cars at the same time it will be
an easy matter to extricate their cars
but if some of the cars are to be
moved before the show is over it may
not be advisable to park so closely.
Whether or not the other cars are
staying" usually can be determined
by noting whether their windows
have been fully closed. The motorist
who Is just stopping for few min
utes usually does not bother to close
the windows or park neatly with
wheels parallel to the curb.

Horning Round Curves.

Careful drivers always sound the
horn when rounding a right curve in
the road. but sometimes they forget
that ii is just as essential to horn
when rounding to the left. There are
a great many drivers who swing di-
agonally across the road when making
right curves-just as many as cut
corners when swinging around left

Watch Cars Upholstery.

It may help the average car owner
to obtain a better trade-in allowance
to remember that the condition of the
upholstery of the closed car is often
the deciding factor in the resale. Cars
can be repainted. retired and repaired
mechanically. But upholstery is
stickler for the dealer. He would
much rather see the car shabby out
side than inside.
What is more. the dealer. as well as
the prospective purchaser OF the used

COMFORT NOT ASSURED.
Advent of Balloon Tires Brings
Questionable Practice.

With the advent of balloon tires a
lot of motorists have tried the plan of
driving with their regular cords under

instances. particularly with seven.ply
shoes, without any sacrifice in tire
mileage worth considering, but it is
not always as comfortable as YOU
might imagine. When there is too
much play in the side walls of a cord
tire the spring action is not quite nor

recoil control devices there may be ad-

When Tappets Are Noisy.

Oil makes for quit tappets. which
may explain why many motorists who
fuss a lot with tappet adjustments
never get the engine to run as quietly
as 1t should. They keep cleaning of
any oil around the tappets in order to
work on the adjustments. The best
plan In to keep the vAlve.gear com
partment generously supplied with
oil. IL the engine is not designed TO
provide for fabrication at this point,
oil should be sprayed on with an Oil
gun. In order to keep the oil In. the
cover plates should be kept tight and
their gaskets should not be broken.
Whenever tappets become noisy II Is
good thing to try ofling them be-
fore disturbing the adjustments.

Sometimes a later car will have

models at 1000 and his special job
at 10000. Unless the buyer knows

familiar with their more important
provisions.

every motorist owes to himself and to
the public
1T is dangerous practice for mo-
torists to he lax in keeping themselves
informed about the traffic laws" de-
Clares the statement of the W. A. T.
A. NO one who drives an automobile
should think that. because he has at
tanned moderate skill in handling a car
and knows the accepted rules of the
road. 1t is no longer necessary to in.
crease his knowledge of the restric-
tions with which the authorities have
surrounded the operation OF all We
hicles on public thoroughfares.
Frequent Reading Advised.
The best plan is to reread the regu.
lations periodically, particula rly those
provisions which have general applica-
tion to the situations in which a mo-
torist frequently finds himself. Every
one is prone to forget what he has
read or heard, unless reference is made
to the subject frequently.
1T Is no doubt a fact that many per-
sons violate the traffic laws through
ignorance Of their contents. This. of
course, is no legal defense. but II
serves to show how having the neces
sary information may not only assist
in law enforcement and save indi-
