Aluminium Piston.

Thousands of cars today are fitted
with aluminium pistons and in many
of them the fitting Of these parts is
incorrect, causing the owner to form
the opinion that aluminium is unsatls-
factory as piston material, This Is
an erroneous idea. as aluminium pis-
tons when properly fitted give much
better results than iron ,ones. One OF
the common troubles with aluminium
pistons is slapping which occurs
when the engine Is first started and
continues until It Is warmed up. To
cure this some owners employ heav-
Ter oil. but the trouble with this plan
is that the heavy lubricant has not the
body that gives satisfactory results
after the engine has warmed up thor
ouzhly. ...unmanIEn

When spark plugs have been used
for 5000 to 10000 miles the spark
loses intensity because of the great
jected in engine operation. The weak
err spark fails to give complete COM
bustion in the cylinder Power Is lost.
The engine is sluggish. Gasoline and
oil are wasted That is why it is real
economy to change spark plugs at
least orce year.
Few people have any real concep-
ton of just how a motor car engine
works. 1t is a general impression that
a series of explosions take place in
each cylinder and that these make the
engine run.
What Takes Place.
That is not true, however. What
actually takes place is this:
AS the engine turns over, gasoline
passes through the carburetor where
air is mixed with it, the mixture en-
tering the cylinder in the form of
highly inflammable gas.
The valves close and the piston
moves upward COMPRISING this case
Gus mixture.
At certain point In the operation
The compressed mixture is ignited by
a spark leaping across the gap be-
tween the electrodes of the spark
plug. The gas burns with extreme
rapidity and In burning expands, fore
Ing down the piston and thus gener-
ating power.
Graphically Shown.
All this is graphically shown in the
pictures which accompany this article
and which were prepared by the gov

eminent to show motorists how to
save gasoline.
In the first picture, hot, intense
spark is igniting the cylinder mixture
which is shown being entirely burned
In the second views In No. 3 the
burned gas is being forced out through
the exhaust valve.
That is how gasoline engine should
operate to obtain maximum power and
economical operation.
The remaining pictures tell the OPP
posite side of the story.
A weak spark, such as occurs with a
spark plug which has been used 5000
to 10000 miles or more, is shown in
No. igniting the compressed mixture.
The burning is much slower, as is
shown In picture No. with the re-
suit that much of the power that
should have been generated from
that charge is lost. This is confirmed
by the final picture which shows live
gas actually being expelled through
the exhaust.
From these pictures 1t will readily
be seen that installing new spark
plugs at least once year is not an
expense but an actual economy be-
cause they will pay for themselves In
gasoline and oil saved.
Furthermore, the adoption CT such a
habit is step along with the govern
ment in it's definite plans for safe
guarding a vital national resource.
Installing new spark plugs at reg
ular intervals is also marked economy
in another direction because it fire.
quently saves motor overhauling and
similar expensive work.

vehicle registration has Increased more
than $500 per cent in the last twelve
years, highway expenditures for the
same period have increased only lit
tie over 500 per cent.
Every automobile and motor truck
that has been added to the reglstra-
ton lists has strengthened the demand
for more improved highways. We have
started to provide this nation with
highway transportation facilities and
we cannot stop now. There must be
a close relation between the rate of
increase of motor vehicles and the
need for extending improved highway
mileage The very fact that around
100000 motor vehicles are being add
ed each year and that highway Inn
provement at present Is not rapid

ficient reason for accelerated speed

They realize that the public is actual

Increased cost of operating motor We

peatedly been demonstrated to be
greater than the cost of the highways
themselves. 1t is no longer question
of "Can we AFFORD paved highways"
but rather "Can we afford to be with

portation on the highways has been
started and billions have already been
profitably invested in that undertake

WHIsTLER's Portrait of His

presentment In the National gallery
at Washington and elsewhere In Amer
lea are collections of Whistler's works,
but France owns this Arrangement in
Gray and Black" his masterpiece In
oils. 1t was first shown in the Royal
academy in 1872. In the Salon of
1884 it was awarded gold medal 1t
was purchased by France for the Lux
embourg. The art world assumed that
it was destined for the Louvre and
Whistler died happy in the belief that
his memorial to his mother would be
the first of American works of art to
pass the portals of the great national
museum on the banks of the Seine.
But today the Louvre is still with
out representation of the art product
Of the North American continent. The
great French connoisseurs continue to
be close corporation and the French
government respects their findings
Last year they again handed down
their opinion that Whisters painting
ais not yet ready for the Louvre" Ii
would be lonesome there without any
contemporaneou compatriots, they
argue. Therefore 1t should wait al
though 1t has served the usual term
of its novitiate in the Luxembourg.
James Abbott Mcneil Whistler
(lS34-1o03) was an audacious and
versatile genius. Born in Massachu-
setts, the son of an American army
officer, he attended West Point for
three years, studied art in Paris for
two years anC then proceeded to
startle the international world of art.
He belonged to no school but his own.
He achieved fame as an etcher and
photographer perhaps even greater
than as painter in oils. He was a
personality, wit and a writer If you
doubt. read his Gentle Art of Making
Enemies" (lS90).
ANYWAY, whatever France may or
may not do with Whistler's Portrait
of His Mother" all the world knows
the picture and it has touched the
heart of all peoples.
WYE CANNOT all have memorials
Wv of our mothers like Whistlers
Portrait of His Mother" but every
GOOD American should have the equiv
alent in his heart and memory. And
IL should not be necessary to instruct
the good American in the most fitting
observance of the day. Fly your flag
wear white-or reformation and
let your affection program the rest.
Mothers day is set apart for special
observance in honor OF the home and
of motherhood. Its purpose is to re-
call the memories of mothers who have
gone; to brighten the lives of those
