VALVE AND SPARK TIMING
Determining Accuracy of Spark
Not Difficult Task.

How to tell whether the car is timed
too late or too early is not a difficult
task. There are two kinds of timing
the timing Of the valves and the tim
ing of the spark. The former is
checked by noting the position of the
fywheel in its relation to the opening
and closing of the valves. Timing Of
the spark is far simpler. Once timed
properly, the valves will not change.
1t is different with the spark timing.
however. When the engine ceases TO
knock after an excess of gas is fed on
an upgrade with the spark fully ad-
vanced. the spark timing has become
retarded at the distributor. If the
engine knocks too much. and when
the spark is retarded, the timing is
too far advanced, assuming that the
engine Is free of carbon.

MAKING Of GEARS
STILL IN INFANCY
Demands More Exacting
Each Year, Automotive En-
gineers' Society Is Told.

Gear making is still in the process
OF development, with no one method
Of manufacture exceling sufficiently
to solve the many problems connected
with this important item in automotive
construction, according to Earl Buck
ingham, engineer, who addressed the
annual production meeting of the So
ciety of Automatic Engineers, held
recently.
Il doubt II any one fully knows or
exactly appreciates what all the re-
quirements OF this product are" he
said. THE dema nds on the perform
ance of gears are growing consta ntly
more severe. The satisfactory gears
OF yesterday are not satisfactory to-
day. and satisfactory gears Of today
may not be satisfactory tomorrow. AL
though many different methods of pro-
ductng gears are now available, no one
of them has yet proved itself to excel
in all features; each has its advantages
and all have certain disadvantages.
Without knowing exactly what 1t
1s necessary to produce, we must con-
slider ways and means of producing It.
On gears very slight errors cause
serious troubles. Small errors in pro-
file or in spacing become very appar-
ent to the ear when the gears are oper-
ated under load. Smoothness of pro-
action occurs between the gears
Furthermore, as most gears used In
automotive constructions must carry
high loads and often withstand con-
siderable abuse, they must be hard
ened. Hence, the production depart
ment is called upon to meet a very
high degree Of precision under the
most unfavorable conditions.
To my mind, the largest part Of all
production problems is the variable
factor due to the differing human
equations Of workmen who operate the
production equipment. The production
of the complex surfaces Of gear teeth
still requires considerable technique
results are to be attained. This is
particularly true Of the grinding proc
esses. At present as much depends
upon the machine operator as upon
the machine"

SPRINGS WILL SQUEAK.
Covers Are Not Sufficient Guard
Against Noises.

The mere addition Of spring covers
to car should not be taken as as
surance Of freedom from spring
squeaks. On many cars the covers do
not inclose the ends of the first leaf
next the master leaf The first leaf
usually comes to within about an inch
Of the end OF the master leaf, in order
to give ii the greatest possible sup
port. Spring covers usually end just
before the ends Of the first leaf. 1t is
at this point Of any spring that lubri.
cation Is needed most Occasional lu.
brication Of these exposed ends with
an oil gun Is necessary to stop the
Squeaks.

CLEAN THE STRAINER.
Vacuum Tank Can Be Benefited
by Frequent Attention.

1t might have been all right to allow
the strainer in the vacuum tank in
take to go for months without atten-
ton, but nowadays the wise owner
cleans it out every two weeks regu-
larly- 1t isn't so much that every one
is using more gasoline as the fact that
more stops at filling stations mean
more scale from gas pump hoses and
more metal chips from the nozzle
which careless employees customarily
jam into the neck of the gas tank.

Pola Negri Held !
Up for SMUGGLING

New York, May 2-Pola Negri, mo-
ton picture actress. who arrived here

tanned shortly after disembarking by

before officials Of the legal depart
ment in the Customs House to ex-
plain why the jewels were not de-
clared.
Miss Negri said tonight that on
several previous trips to and from
Europe she had never been question
ed about her jewelry by the officials

hire last return from Europe before
Friday, was two and one half years
ago, and since then she has taken
out first naturalization papers and
established a permanent residence in
Hollywood, Calf. Miss Negri said
that she had not known this had

ditions they had inherited. -
Our country has done much for the
Jews who have come here to accept
its citizenship and assume their share
of its responsibilities in the world.
But I think the greatest thing 1t has
done for them has been to receive them
and treat them precisely as 1t has re-
ceived and treated all others who have
come to it. IF our experiment in free
institutions has proved anything 1t is
that the great privilege that can be
conferred upon people in the mass, is
to free them from the demoralizing
influence Of privilege enjoyed by the
few.
This is proved by the experience
here, not alone of the Jews, but of all
the other racial and national elements
that have entered into the making of
this nation. We have found that when
men and women are left free to find
the places for which they are best 1T
ted, some few OF them will indeed at
tain less exalted stations than under
a regime of privileges; but the vast
multitude will rise to a higher level,
to wider horizons, to worthier attain
ments.

ening lines that have marked the ma
tional development thus far. must be
