probably remember that the old
fashioned compression ratio of 4 to
! left quite a clearance at the top
of the stroke between the piston
head and the cylinder head. When
carbon formed on the top of tie
piston head in these engines the
compression was raised only very
slightly, not enough probably to
cause a decided knock. But in the
new motor" says Mr.. Weir, "the
compression ratio is sometimes as
high as s to l, and this leaves a
small fraction of an inch clearance
between the top of the piston and
the cylinder head. Some of these
high compression jobs have only
3-32 OF an inch clearance. It is
easy to imagine what a carbon de-
posit a 10Th of an inch will do 70
the modern high compression mo-
tor" Mr.. Weir goes on to say,
Getting back to the primary cause
of carbon is a major discussion
nowadays, because it is a matter
of considerable importance. The
one easiest way to avoid hard car
bon deposits is to use an oil ike
the wholly distilled Sunoco Motor
Oil which does not contain any
cylinder stock. Cylinder stock is
used in compounded oils to give
heavier body, and since cylinder
stock contains considerable wax,
this sticky substance on the top of
the piston head, collects SCOT which
is always produced when gasoline
is burned, and the engine heat
bakes it into hard carbon. If all
users Of high compression engines
We're to use nothing but Sunoco
Motor Oil they would never have
any hard carbon, ard therefore
their motor will have the greatest
efficiency

man has the appearance of guilt he investigates him with meticulous honesty, locks him up if the evil dence warrants it and frees him if it doesn't. Tn "open-and-shut" cases such methods are admirable, but when things are not what they seem and facts contradict them selves, the subtle approach and the comprehension and evaluation oi human motives are, in my opinion more likely to get at the truth. Deacon laughs at me, of course.
 For this reason I dreaded his ap- pearance.
 The serious implications of the evidence had not escaped my minc for an instant. I had seen Jerry flying down the drive a minute or so after his father had been stab- bed to death. I had called and instead of answering me he had gone faster. That was fact. But so was my faith in his inno- cence a fact; that is, it was fact to me. I knew that Jerry couldn't have killed his father. Deacon
 liked the boy, too, but his concrete mind would ignore the human ele- ment and consider only evidence that could be demonstrated.
 I decided not to tell him what I had seen. He must dig up his own evidence. Perhaps it wasn't Jerry I had seen after all. No, this wouldn't do. He was in my homo every day in various kinds of at tire and his flannels were as fa- miliar to me as my own garments. Besides, an eye for detail has be- come second nature with me. I then tried to comfort myself with the thought that Jerry would re- 1 turn and explain his -precipitous flight. He would, of course! But what was the. young fool up to-?
