Lean Gas, Pop, Pop, and
Your Motor Goes Dead

On bright snappy morning you
step on the starter and the motor
starts, runs for a second, and stops.
You try it again. and 1t does better,
but when you feed little more gas,
pop, pop" and the motor dies.
That is caused by too lean a mix
ture. But you ask yourself why-why
does 1t "pop."
First you must form q mental pic
ture Of the four cycles or strokes Of a
piston, namely, the intake, compress
sion. power, and exhaust strokes; also
picture the valves on the intake stroke,
as the piston goes down. The intake
valve opens, allowing the suction of
the piston to draw gas from the car
buretor into the cylinder; then the in
take valve closes, the exhaust valve
also remains closed, and the piston
starts up on compression stroke. When
1t reaches the top dead center or 10
degrees past, the spark occurs, and
the compressed gas explodes and
drives the piston down on the power
stroke. The exhaust valve then opens
as the piston comes up, and forces the
burned gases out through the exhaust
valve, manifold, and out the muffier.
When the mixture Is too lean there
still remains in the cylinder certain
quantities of burning gases which can
not be forced out by the piston on ex-
haust stroke. Under this condition, as
the intake opens and the piston starts
down on the next intake stroke, the
burning gases, which still remain in the
cylinder, ignite the new intake charge,
and the flash is followed out the in
take valve to the intake manifold, then
to the carburetor, hence the "pop."

GETTING STARTED
IN COLD WEATHER
What to Do When Gas Does
Not Vaporize Readily;
Choker Trouble.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotive Engineering. Chicago.)
OF course the principal difficulty in
starting q, car when 1t is cold Is that
the gasoline does not vaporize readily
and combine with air into combust-
ible mixture. Understanding this, do
not wear out the storage battery with
the starter or your patience with the
crank handle with a fruitless endeavor
to start something. Use your head
instead Of your arm. The car will start
easier, for neither headstrong nor
armstrong starters are worth while.
Open Choking Device.
AS soon as the engine starts 1t Is
very important that the choking de-
vice be opened partially, depending
upon the temperature until the engine
heats up, and then fully closed. 9th
'erwise the excess of gasoline will
cause the engine to run sluggishly.
Indeed, 1t may load up the cylinders
with such rich mixture that the en-
gine may, stop again. This in turn will
make 1t harder to start the engine
than before. Do not open the choker
again If the engine stops from this
cause. Get as much air in as pos
sible while you crank the engine and
thus approximate correct mixture.
If the use of the chOker device fails
to start the engine the only thing left
to do Is to apply heat to the intake
manifold. You may pour little hot
water over the manifold. The intake
will get warm enough this way in
wrap a cloth about the manifold and
empty the teakettle slowly upon it. Ex-
treme care must be taken not to get
any water on the high-tension igni-
tion terminals or in the float cham
ber of the carburetor. Water will not
pass through the spray nozzle and
tiny globule will stick there and
back the case -e.
To Warm Carburetor.
Practically all modern carburetors
have some sort of warming device to
heat the gasoline and air entering the
a stove or hot-air furnace attached to
the exhaust pipe and some depend on
hot water from the cooling system.
Neither of these will get into action,
however, until after the engine has
been running some time and will not
help the cold-morning troubles Of the
owner. If. there Is hot water jacket
on the carburetor. persons who drain
the cooling system on cold nights will
aid starting materially If they fill the
radiator with hot water in the morn
ing just before 1t is time to start the
engine. This warns the entire engine,
SO that condensation is not likely to
occur.

FetO but Hape Kindly
Feeling for Lincoln

"You (the South) have no oath
registered in Heaven to destroy the
government, while have the most SOL
emn one to preserve, protect and de-
fend it," said Lincoln in his first In
augural. This Is the Lincoln who ap-
peals to the conservatives, the Lincoln
who saved the Union, says a writer
in the Boston Globe.
They quote him on emancipation {:
IF could save the Union without free
ing any slave, would do it; IL 1
could save the Union by freeing all the
slaves, / would do 1t. Whatever
do about slavery and the colored
race, 1 do because / believe 1t helps
save the Union"
However much he hated slavery.
Lincoln saw the Union as his first job,
and even the stodgiest tory of today
can respect him on this count.
But the noncOnservative (from the
lightest pink to the deepest red) re-
members Lincoln's remark on first see
ing a slave market. "If I ever get a
chance to hit that thing, I'm going to
hit 1t hard"
During the spring Of 1919, one Of
the reddest magazines in America
fiaunted a full-page face of the Eman-
cipator on its cover and in Its edl-
torial section justified its course with
examples from the life Of Lincoln.
Even Lenin. in one Of his Letters to
American Workingmen," commented
on the emancipation of the slaves and
paid tribute to the President who ac-
complished 1t.
The South always felt that had Lin
coin lived 1t would have been spared
the major horrors of reconstruction.

DANGER TO Ignition

It sometimes happens that after you
have switched off the engine with the
idea of stopping for passenger to
alight the latter will change her mind
and tell you to go on little farther.
Carelessly you switch on the ignition
again and the engine starts off again
before 1t has come to a dead STOP
The danger lies in the fact that one
Of the cylinders may fire at the wrong
time, reverse the engine and send a
hazardous backfire through the intake.

from Uncle Sam S navy. Wednes-
day will bring to the waters of San
Diego bay a large potrion of the At
lantic fleet which has been taking
part i'll the maneuvcrs near Homo

few of them enjoyed any extensive
relief from duty while at Honolulu.
BY Wednesday morning it is ex,
pcctcd that no less than 40 ships
of the Atlantic fleet will be "park
ed' in San Diego bay. Each one
of these will send as many of it's
men ashore for tho leave as can be
spared, so that several thousand of
the blue jackets will be allowed a
two days holiday seeing the sights
Of San Diego.
In order that everything should
be put in readiness for the shore
leave, orders were issued by the Of
ficer in charge of the scouting fleet
for the Detroit, which arrived Mon
day, to arrange for shore patrols,
80 that as soon as the remaining
ships arrive the liberty parties can
go ashore without delay. AS most
of the ships of the fleet arc expected
to reach this port either late Tues
day night or Wednesday morning,
considerable detail had to be work
cd out in order to have them get
away for their vacation in as

To Rescue of
Animals

SAN DIEGO, June To-
Through the quick action of of
ficcrs of the San Diego Zoologi-

animals which was threatened
with starvation at Priest Lake,
Idaho, is to be saved and
eventually find place in the
dens and cages of the local zoo.
The animals including %
dogs, four bears, Il wild cat,
deer, two wolves, several coy
otes, an eagle and an owl were
the property of the Nell Ship
man Motion Picture company,
were taken over by creditors of
the cinema concern. A press
dispatch sent out reported the
specimens were on half rations
and later were allowed to pass
two days without anything to
eat.
Reading this in a local paper,
Director Foulconer of the zoo,
wired an offer to feed the group
and bring them here for fur
ther care. This offer was
promptly accepted and as soon
as possible the collection will
be shipped to San Diego. While
the specimens arc not needed by
the zoo which already has a
number of kind represented, it
was thought better to bring
them here than to allow them to
starve at Priest Lake.

Mead In Stand
Against Blanket
Relief of Settlers

A firm stand against the granting
of indiscriminate blanket relief to
settlers able to pay on federal recla-

ferment of charges due the govern
ment was taken today by Commits
sioner of Reclamation Elwood Mead
with the sanction of the secretary
of the interior.
The commissioner s action result

covering water rental and drainage
charges, which were presented after
irrigation began and after relief
from payment of irrigation charges
amounting to over ! ,000,00O had
been granted. Not only were these
applications for a postponement of
charges denied on the ground that
the showing of inability to pay was
inadequate, but in Il letter Commis-
sioner Mead discussed the general
situation applicable to. all the fed
eral projects with regard to de-
ferred payments.
