- MOTORS and MOTORING - a
TESTING PLUGS OF 49,"
Methods Used on Six-Cylinder Car
Fail on Larger Engine.

The increasing use Of eight-cylinder
cars as a result of the advent of nu-
merous straight eishts," in addition
to the popular V types, has caused a
lot of speculation among trouble hunt
ers as to how one can locate missing
spark plug when there are so many
cylinders. There is probably some
ground for such fears when one con
siders that it is often difficult to locate
bad plug in a smooth six, but the
method is simple enough If one goes
at the job wisely.
Ordinarily in testing for a missing
plug 1t is just a matter of shorting
each plug in turn until one is found
that does not slow down the engine
when cut out, but such variations in
speed with an eight would be some
thing only for the trained ear. The
simpler plan is to remove each plug
in turn, laying it on the top of the
cylinder head, connected with it's
proper ignition wire. When a plug is
thus removed it is a simple matter to
start up the engine and note whether
a spark jumps its gap regularly. In
sert an old plug in each opening when
the regular plug is being tested. This
prevents escape of gas vapor and
avoids possibility of fire

earth that compares with Gettysburg.
On this site, where more than 10000
Union and Confederate men were
killed or wounded in three days fight
ing, now stand approximately $40
, monuments and almost 1000 bronze
reliefs and tablets.
Less than 10 months after the bat
tie. and somewhat more than five
months after President Lincoln made
his incompatible address, the Penn
sylvania Legislature established the
Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Asso-
citation. AT first the association was
local in its scope, but in later years it
grew to such proportions that 1t was
transferred to park commission ap-
pointed by the Secretary of War. One
condition of the transfer, however was
that If the Federal Government should
ever neglect the grounds they should
revert to the State of Pennsylvania.
BY an act of Congress February H.
1895, the Gettysburg National Park
was established, and has since been
under the direction OF the War De-
partment. This bit of history explains,
perhaps. why Gettysburg is one of the
best-kept national cemeteries in the
country.
More tourists annually stop al
Gettysburg now than there were men
on both sides in the three-day conflict
that made il famous. Rarely among
them is there still veteran of the
blue or gray who witnessed the scenes
of carnage. They are fast passing be
yond.
Guide Books Available.
Visitors may obtain at Gettysburg
well prepared guide books. maps. Illus
trated pamphlets and other material
which will assist them in locating all
points of military or general interest.
These also will be invaluable TO the
visitor If he cares to follow the ma

petent guides. who are thoroughly fa-
miliar with every foot Of ground in
the 20 square miles of this national
park, are on duty. The trip will be
more profitable If the visitor retains
one of these guides.

MYSTERY IN KNOCKING.
Many Motorists Puzzled When No
Cause Is Apparent.

One of the most battling troubles a
car owner can encounter is having
his engine knock regularly for so
miles and then purr like a dream for
the next so, or wise versa. Reason
tells him that the cause of the knock
ing must be of temporary nature,
but he is usually unable to imagine
what could be SO seriously wrong with
a motor as to cause so decided a
knock to appear in normal running,
and then disappear again. One

Figures compiled during the last

Engineer Says State
Will Not Lose Funds

Characterizing as wholly in error
the statement recently made that

construction will revert to the gov
eminent because of lack of state
funds to match the federal appro-
priation, c. G. Morrison, acting dis
trict engineer of the United States
bureau of public roads, in letter
to w. G. Lefebvre, state engineer,
states there is no cause for alarm,
and has asked the state engineer
to correct the erroneous statement.
The attention of the acting dis
trict engineer was attracted to the
statement recently issued by H. S.
McCluskey, secretary to the COVER
nor, in which Mr.. McCluskey de-
clared that unless some means is
soon found to finance the state
highway department properly, ap-
proximately $1,70O,O00 in federal
aid funds available to the state for
the coming year will go unmatched

Denver Prayer Followed
by Light Precipitation

Prayer as an instrument to cause
the rain clouds to let their precious
moisture fall on drouth-stricken
Colorado apparently proved effica-
cious this week when light showers
fell in various sections of the state
after the Denver Rotarians at noon
had offered a silent prayer for rain.
Reports indicated that further
break of the drouth which has ex-
listed in Colorado during the latter
part of the winter and early spring
would occur during the next few
days, as general rains are forecast
for the southwest.
