something wrong with carburetion,
the owner deliberately aims tor

if he hits upon the right solution.
Interesting Example
An interesting example is cited by
an experienced car owner. There
was an odd noise in his new engine.
With any of his previous cars he
could have detected a loose bearing
in a moment but the new engine
ran so smoothly and was balanced
so perfectly he could not seem 20
diagnose by the usual means.

thinking there might he a slightly
worn piston pin which is often
rendered harmless by driving at
speed where there is higher and
more constant pressure on the pis-
tons. Then, suspecting piston
slap, he tried using different grades
of oil. He even went so far as to
examine the clutch and the accessory
shaft of the engine.
Then he decided to reverse the
whole process. With one spark plug
wire disconnected he drove with
the engine running on only five OF
it's cylinders. With this disadvan-

nounced. He was at once aware
that there was a loose bearing.
A car owner who could not seem
to hit upon the right adjustment
for his carburetor turned the ad
justments until he had a rich mix
ture. The trouble became more pro-
nounced. Then he made the trouble
still more pronounced by adjusting
for a still richer mixture. This
proved beyond any doubt that the
trouble was due to inability to OBJ
tain a lean enough mixture. He
took the car to q carburetor expert
and had the necessary changes
made in the carburetor.
To Find Squeak
One of the best ways to find a
squeak is to exaggerate the condi-
lions which are likely to cause 1t.

thing to do is to run for a short

A large measure of the success OF
the motor car racers who have
astounded the world by their ire
mendous speeds during the past
summer, has been made possible by
development of cooling and lubricat-
ing systems which permitted motors
to operate efficiently at the cxces-
sive speeds demanded.
Mr.. Chrysler, in a recent CONVEX.
sation, asserted that these results
would undoubtedly be the basis Of
even greater and finer development
Of cooling and oiling systems for
engines in every day use, inasmuch
as the life of a motor depended SO
vitality on the proper functioning Of
these two units.
Other Vital Changes
"In addition TO remarkable en-
cheering developments in oiling and
cooling we are also on the eve of
vital changes in crankshaft and
camshaft design and production,
which, will play an important part
in the advent of the car Of the
future" Mr., Chrysler said.
New machinery will be de.

this machinery will be fitted not
only with new grinding equipment,
but with test and inspection gauges
which will keep automatically these
parts absolutely correct to the most
infiniteSimal dimensions.
But it will be in valve tappet
design that the greatest advances
will occur. Engineers, long ago,
felt that the mushroom tappet type
was most efficient, but the prop.

provide for durability and utmost
efficiency. So for years they have
been working to develop new types

LOOKING BRIGHTER

Conditions are beginning to
look brighter and seem to be
improving daily. Employers are
talking and acting in a different
mood at present than they were
a few months ago.
The weather is beginning to
show that summer effect. 1t is
high time for all to get back into
the harness. Let's put our
shoulders to the wheel of prog
ress. Let's give the wheel a
good turn. Let's get away from
knocking. Let's all be boosters.
We can do it if we just forget
that knocking propaganda.
Many are the individuals who
have realized that times are
hard. That we can't have ev-
erything cooked to our order.
That we must take the bitter
with the sweet. To us the man
in business has been the hardest
sufferer. The winter Of 1925
will not be forgotten by many
of us. 1t has been a real tough
winter.
SO once again let's forget our
past troubles and get down to
hard work. The harder we work
the faster we will get out of the
rut. Many a one got into rut
this winter. Many that never
knew what it was to get into a
rut. Forget it. The less
thought of it the better.

ALIEN LAND LAW UPHELD

The California alien land law,
which prevents an American
from transferring land to a Jap
anese, has been sustained by
the United States Supreme
Court, which held that the law
does not violate the fourteenth
amendment of the Constitution,
nor the Japanese-American
treaty Of 1911. The Florida leg
islature has passed a law for
bidding the owning of land in
that state by Japanese.

TIPPING AN INSTITUTION

The tipping habit has become so
widespread that it has become highly
organized.
In many cities hotel porters, bell
hops and walters not only do not de-
pend upon wages, but actually work
for nothing, depending entirely upon
tips to make their living.
In large resort centers of the United
States, it is known that walters actu-
ally pay for the privilege of working
in cabarets, hotels and grills. The
tips they receive run into large sums.
In Miami, Fla, some of the walters
in grills and popular resorts corral as
much as $500 a week. This is in the
form of tips and special privileges ac-
corded patrons.
Many girls and young women seek
employment as hat room checkers, the
emoluments of which are large.

WOULD SELL ALL SHIPS

President Coolidge permits it
to be known that he favors op-
Grating the governments mer-
chant ships only until they can
be sold" This is his answer to
a question as to whether he
proposes to hand them all over,
at any price he can get, before
Congress shall come back to
consider the question. A min
ority of Jne Shipping Board
wants to keep and operate a part
of the government fleet, as a
safeguard against high shipping
rates which the international
shipping trust would impose.

w deal of amusement from the
row that has been going on between
the Carry-on Club, an organization OF
World War Veterans, and the Prln-
cess Elaine Won der Lippe-Lipske,
who owns the house in which they
have their headquarters. While she
was away from Washington for a
few days, some of the club members
turned over the Princess twO-year-
old daughter to the Detention Home.
Upon her return, the Princess order
ed the members of the club out Of the
house and tried to move in an organ
ization of blind veterans from Balti-

forts to put them out into the street,
and obtained a temporary injunction
prohibiting the Princess from inter
fering with them.

the best interests of the country and
