alloy that did not receive sufficient
heat treatment. 1t is too sensitive to
temperature changes, and contracts to
a point where it is a little loose in
starting up. But as time goes on
there is every reason to believe that
it will grow naturally and perhaps
be exactly the same size as the others.
It's just one of the peculiar charac-
teristics of the aluminium type of
piston"
Smith then expressed the opinion
that it was Just this sort of thing
that preiudiced him in favor Of cast
iron pistons.
You're assuming that cast-iron
pistons have no faults, aren't your
| suggested. THE Ignite pistons in
my engine weigh less than half as
much as those in your engine, and
this means far less strain and wear
on the connecting rod bearings ar
high speed. There's much less vibra-
ton in my engine because of the
lighter rectprocating parts. That al
ways saves wear. And don't forget
that these alloys, like Ignite and
Dowmetal, conduct heat much more
readily than cast iron. This means
that my engine can run cooler than
yours and therefore more efficiently
1t will have more power on hills.

or serious knock in your motor be-

Whenever Smith is discovered in
the act of listening to the way other
motors run it Is a foregone conclu-
sion that he is trying to learn whether
some new trouble he has discovered
is common to all cars. RE usually

pose. for here motors are operating

to me. I'D like to listen to 1t a
moment"
without going to all that trou-
ble," l replied, Il can ease your mind
by telling you that you would hear
a light knock. My engine is equip
ped with aluminium pistons of the
constant clearance type. Now and
again a piston which has not been
properly heat treated slips by, with
the result that 1t is a little loose when
the engine is cold. This causes
slight piston slap. I don't let 1t worry
me, because it stops the minute the
eng me warns up"
"Yes, but aren't you afraid it will
develop into serious trouble later?
Aluminium Alloy Pistons.
ron the contrary, it will probably
aluminium alloy pistons were first
used there was a lot of objection be-
cause Of the difference in the eXpan-
sion of the alloy and the cast iron OF
the cylinder walls, and also because
of the habit the alloy has of actually
growing to larger dimensions after
it has been heated and cooled thou
sands of times in service. If enough
clearance had been allowed when the
engine was new so as to provide for
this constant expansion when 1t
grew old there would be excessive
oil pumping. II the clearance were
not provided. the pistons would be-
gin to expand too much and score
the cylinders after the engine had
been in service for a while"
Wasn't this what gave aluminium
pistons q bad name few years ago?'
Smith interrupted to ask.
Yes. but engineers have solved
this problem by two very logical
methods" l explained. First, they
discovered that by heating and cool
ing the alloy before making 1t into
pistons, or by heat-treating 1t, they
could make it grow to a point where
IT would not expand permanently
after being used a short time. Then,
to provide for less clearance of the
pistons when the engine is cold, they
cut slots in the piston skirt. A bar
rel piston naturally expands outward
ly, just as if it were a solid piece of
metal, but when slots are cut in the
skirt some of the expansion can be
directed toward filling up the slots
rather than in taking up the clear
ance between piston and cylinder wall.
"In my engine one of the pistons
was made from a stock of aluminium

BEST TIRES IN FRONT.

Always run the strongest tires on
the front wheels as an extra precau-
ton against front wheel blowouts.
Since lowpressure tires have come
into style, however, there Is another
reason for putting your best tires for
ward. It is the matter of front-wheel
wabble. Wabble, regardless OF It's
causes and cures, cannot start until
the stored up forces Of vibration have
exceeded the friction resistance to
such forces as offered by the action Of
the tires against the road surface.
The rougher the tire treads, therefore,
the greater the friction. and the faster
the car will have to go before wabble
can start.

cause whenever you climb hills 1t
knocks badly, even though you have
the carbon removed regularly. The
trouble is that in trying to thin out
the cast-iron pistons in your engine
the factory went too far and sacrificed
heat conductivity. When the engine
gets hot and the gases that are up in
the thousands of degrees are heating
the tops of the pistons, the metal
starts to glow. immediately forming
hard particles of carbon, which also
glow to incandescence. Then the pre-
ignition of the gases starts and you
have a variety OF knocks
Smith decided the lesson to learn
from all this is not to knock any par
ticular kind of metal or design of
part until all the facts are known,
and that once the facts are known
the various remedies suggest them
selves.

SPRIlNCTIME
The Chestnut.
(Copyright.) }
BY ID. G. PEATTIE.

Alder and willow and elm, sassa-
frss, maple and poplar-they are all
in bloom or soon will be. For all
these and many more the great
host of our native trees, 1t is Spring
and the time for unfolding of flower
and leaf is at hand. But for one
tree it is not Spring. nor ever will
be again. Tho chestnut, once forest
king, is dead Mutely, it's bleached
skeleton pleads for our pity.
No birds will ever nest again
among it's green leaves, nor squirrels
forage upon it's sweet nuts. Only the
scavenger crow, with his love for
dead, blasted trees, comes to sit on
the chestnut and bask, his harsh
wings as FURNISHED as the scar trunks
of these dead trees.
Scarce a living American chestnut
exists around Washington. Such few
as are still hslf-alive are in the last
stages of the dreadful blight that has
swept the country. More than 25
years ago the chestnut blight, acci-
dentally introduced from Asia, got its
start on Long Island and, spreading
unchecked, has slain all in its path.
Not for lack of heroic efforts to save
it has the chestnut died. But the
disease, spreading under the bark, is
incurabso, and it is carried with in
eXorable swiftness.
But as when an old man dies we
look to his son, so may we look TO
the Chinquapin, a dwarf chestnut
common in the District, whose nuts.
If small, are very sweet. Thoroughly
blight resistant, the chinquapin is the
one consolation to US as we view, all
over the Maryland and Virginia hills,
the stark skeletons of the chestnut.

much for solution. The result is that
while many of the new frocks are
full, and likewise appear to be,
large humber appear to be as straight
and scant as ever. But the scanti-
ness is only apparent. The fullness
shows only when the body is in mo-
ton.
often this effect is produced by
means of the inverted box pleat
adroitly placed at the sides or more
obviously at the front. Sometimes
there are little kick pleats introduced
near the hem, and, again, there are
tiers of very fine pleats introduced in
groups. AS with Beer of Paris. many
of the dreSsmakers introduce this
subtle fullness by means of clever
little godets and circular insets,

Friday the 18th" will scare all vic
tins of ignorant superstition, but 1t
has no terrors for those who have
more faith in the fundamental forces
of nature than belief in the fatalistic
qualities of mani made days and
numerals. The planetary aspects of
tomorrow, as it happens, are quite
benign, and, although they do not en-
courage excessive zeal or denote great
material progress, they presage a
condition of positiveness and reveal
an urge to perform your customary
duties with intelligence and con-
scientiousness. The vibrations indi-
cate that literary or artistic efforts
will be exceptionally favored, and
that, in addition. peace and content
ment will prevail in the home circle.
A boy that first sees the light to-
morrow will be blessed with a strong
constitution and enjoy exceptionally
good health. He will not be addicted
to study, but disposed to forsake
learning for the pleasure of outdoor
sports and pastimes. He will have
strong character. but should be
trained for something other than a
sedentary occupation. A girl, how
ever, born tomorrow will not be
physically strong, and will require
aSsiduous care and attention during
childhood. She VIII temperam entdlly
be very amiable and have the "old-
fashioned" craving for a home of her
own and children. She will not be
dominating, but will generally get
her own way by persuasive arts
rather than by forceful methods
Those who celebrate their birth
days on that date are. generally
speaking, of simple character, indus
trious, frugal and without any great
ambitions. They are satisfied with
life as they find it. and rarely, If ever
experience the urge to do or accom-
They are truthful, sincere and loyal,
before them, and not much troubled
with the why's" or "wherefores" of
life's problems. They all make ex-
cellent companions, as they are inva-
ribly in a receptive mood, and not
only find but give pleasure in associa-
tion by never putting up an argu-
ment. They, especially If engaged in
gricultural or outdoor pursuits are
fated to go through life placidiy and
and possibly secure
greater happiness than those who
fired by ambitious dreams, keep
lighting and struggling to reach what
is, too often, an unattainab BILE goal.

poireeTwi

Every woman knows the service
able poiret twill. 1t has for some
time now enjoyed a. largo and well
deserved vogue, and is still one of
the most popular worsted fabrics on
the market The name, which may
have puzzled not a few shoppers. is
for it's famous creator, Paul Poiret
of Paris.
What this fabric really Is, is a spe-
cial type Of ullbodied worsted. Its
special characteristics by which every
woman recognizes II on the store
counter, or when made up into gar
ments, are the peculiar twill OF the
face, the soft and kindly touch of the
material and the dull, yet clear, ap-
pearance of tho surface. In poiret
twill, the diagonal weave shows a
steep anglo on tho face of the cloth.
and runs at a steep pitch, being what
is called a high angle twill"
Not all poiret twillS look alike,
however. There are some on the
market with different interlacings.
and with differently pitched angles.
which give a consequent variation In
the appearance of the face. Most OF
these fabrics that you will encounter,
though, have sharply marked twills
standing out clearly from another,
and somewhat bold in character
considering their size. There are
some that are fine and rather fat, but
perhaps these strictly speaking,
should not be classed as poiret twills
at all.
AS you know, worsted yarns are
not prepared in the way that woolen
spun yarns are, although both are
wool. In a worsted 1t is customary
to use wool of a relatively long.
smooth and non-crinkling character.
First this is carded, then 1t goes
through a combing process which
eliminates all the short. broken and
tangled fibers, and leaves behind only
the longer flbers which lie straight,
parallel and true to one another.
Wool spun yarns, on the contrary,
made of the shorter and more crink-
iy and curly fibers, are rough and ir-
regular. The result is that goods
made from the former consist of
yarns regular and smooth, more lus-
trous and therefore have q. smoother
and harder face.
Unless the greatest care has been
taken in spinning and weaving a
piece of poiret twill, the careless
work will be plainly apparent in the
finished goods on the counter. Every
thing shows sup readily on the face
of such material. The shopper should
regard any irregular yarns, showing
thick or thin places, or havin

straight skirt, relieved by no insets

no sort of fullness about it.

straightline frock. The box pleats,
when they peep open, show a facing

To some persons to say that a per-

saying that he is ill-bred. Noisiness
goes hand in hand with bad breeding,
and 1t really seems as il one of tho
things that mankind acquires in
achieving civilization is a degree of
silence, or at least control OF noiei-
ness. The man who wears creaky
shoes or heels that thump every time
he takes step, who slams doors and
bangs the furniture as he goes about
is usually not well bred man.
But the activity above all else in
