Spark Plug Care.

Saving as high as 4 miles per gallon
of gasoline is accomplished through the
simple expedient Of cleaning spark
plugs or replacing those that are old
and worn. an article by William Tobeldt
in the current issue of the magazine
Automobile Trade Journal says in ef-
feet
Many service men" the article
states. "haVe been advising car owners
to have their spark plugs changed every
1000 miles, realizing that the new
plugs would improve the performance
of the engine. But there are many who
have not brought out the important
point that old worn spark plugs or
fouled plugs waste gasoline-and plenty
Of it.
The whole story Of the gasoline waste
hinges around the fact that whenever
a spark plug misses, the unburned fuel
is forced out of the cylinder without
having done any work and consequently
the gasoline mileage is reduced.
What causes this miss?
"It is a coating composed Of combus-
ton residuab that forms on that part
of the spark plug insulator that Is ex-
posed to the combustion gases.
This coating short circuits wholly or
partly the spark current, It keeps the
current from jumping the spark gap.
Here's how temperamental the thing
Is.
When you operate your car the coat
ing on the plug won't give you bit Of
trouble at first Then as the engine
gets warmed uD the coating gets warmed
up. After a while il gets real hot. Then
il acts as a short circuit and the plug
misses. Unburned, wasted gasoline goes
out the exhaust pipe. After missing a
while the coating gets cool again and
the plug starts firing Then it gets hot
again and the plug misses 1t keeps
this up Misunderstanding gasoline
and lowering engine performance.
Unfortunate Aspect.
The unfortunate aspect of this con-
dition is that the car owner Is usually
ignorant Of it. His hearing can't

Human nature is strange. I confess
to complete baff1ement when trained
nurse told me that one OF the greatest
fears Of her life would be TO get at the
wheel of a car or take a drivers test.
She meant it. There are millions Of
women entertaining the same fear, but
never before had I heard this confes-
sicH from such a human enigma. Just
before talking about driving she had
told me of her efforts to save a child
who was brought to the hospital with
infantile paralysis. She had personally
attended to the preparation Of the
respirator in the isolation building, and
had forgotten self In a struggle that
looked like Mount Everest compared to
the molehill Of operating an automo-
bile.
Of course, there is always going to
be an obliging Sir Walter Raleigh
around to change tires for you, so don't
bother reading this. I was just going
to say that one Of the car makers now
advises through the reference book,
that the jack be placed under the
shackles at the ends Of the springs

tainly makes for a cleaner, easier job.
The wheel will, of course, sag little
and the jack must be raised up more,
but because there is less of what engi-
neers call 'unsprung weight" the
scheme works out surprisingly well.
When trying TO balance the family
budget and review experiences with the
family ears, don't let friend husband
make a mental slip at your expense.
Because your car has required more
servicing for a lower mileage is no rea-
son either to assume that you are
poorer driver or that the car is not
up to standard. His own car may have
given a poor account of itself under
the stress to which you must Of neces-
sity put your ear. Your car Is the one
that has to make all those short runs
to the stores and to the schools, with
excessive starting and stopping. His
car is more apt to be pressed into what
seems to be the harder service of the
open road, but which, In reality, is the
sort that makes for more efficient oper-
alton.
Enter madam with lot Of new ways
to signal when at the wheel. She's
experienced enough to realize that

that they don't get over in pinch and
now and again are positively dangerous.
You'll never see her, for instance, rush
up to an intersection, stick out her arm
and then make left turn from the
right-hand lane Of traffic. Instead she
keeps working her way over to the
center. You know she's going to turn
left even without a definite signal. All
the traffic officers know which way she
is going to turn because she makes it
a rule to point the front wheels that
way when stopping.
Even il you are not one Of those
women who use puncture-proof inner
tubes, at least you will want the con-

When you want to add air or make

unScrew a cap. Everything is ready for

Energy of Speed.

How would you like to drive car
of the top of a 10-story/ building?
The answer is obvious; you wouldn't! I!
But do you know that car going
so miles an hour will hit an object
with the same force that 1t would II
falling from the tenth floor OF build
ing? 1t will do the same damage to
what 1t hits, to itself, and tc its occu-
pants as if it dropped from that height.
A car moving at go miles an hour
travels 88 feet per second The power
required to stop it in l second is
astonishing. AS a matter of fact, no
brakes ever made could Withstand the
drag or resist the momentum.
Fortunately. car moving half as
fast has only one-fourth as much
stored-up energy. The power required
to stop it in the same distance Is only
one-eighth as much and the driver
has 2 seconds to cover the distance.
The average driver assumes that at
twice the speed the momentum and
braking effort required is only double.
A fatal mistake The stored-up energy
increases as the square of the speed and
the power to be absorbed by the brakes
in stopping in the same distance in
creases as the cube Of the speed.
Ninety-nine out Of q hundred drivers
assume they can stop a car going so
miles an hour in the same distance as
one going is miles an hour with only
four times the effort.
The right answer is 64 times and the
difference makes the accidents! The
foregoing is contributed by the National
Saftey Council.

JUST NEEDY ONES ARE
ENTITLED TO FLOUR

Through a misunderstanding, some
people are asking for Red Cross flour
who are not intended to have it. In
most cases they do so innOcently, be-
lieving that they should get it be-
cause they hear that their neighbor
did
Red Cross flour is intended for
those who need it; for those in dis
;tress, for those who cannot, by some
other honest means, get flour. 1t is
mot intended for the man who has
money with which to buy it. nor for
the man who has something he can
barter or trade for flour, nor is it in
tended for the man who has no i'm
mediate cash provided he can secure
it on credit. The Red Cross is trying
to keep people from suffering for the
want of food and is not trying and
cannot possibly furnish flour to those
who can help themselves.
If you do not come under the above
class, please do not ask for flour.
Your officer in charge of the dis
tributiOn is doing his best to make an
honest distribution and he should be
helped by all good citizens and should
mot be hampered by requests from
people who could not possibly qualify
as destitute or even needy.
