DIRTY PLUGS WASTEFUL.
GASOLINE TEST SHOWS
Cleaning and Adjusting Points is
Suggested as Remedy.

Cleaning and Adjusting Points is
Suggested as Remedy.
Tests conducted before the Society
of Automotive Engineers group, and
at the University of Michigan dis
closed that dirty or badly worn
spark plugs cause a waste of one out
of every 10 gallons of gasoline There
is only one way to remedy this, the
engineers point out, and that is by
having spark plugs cleaned regular
ly and the liring points re-adjusted
at least twice year.
Oxide coating, the engineers say,
forms on all spark plugs and grad
ually builds up until at 5000 miles
it usus.lly increases to point where
it begins to affect engine perform
ance, causing missing, loss of power
and gasoline waste without the
motorist being aware of it.

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD
FORD IMPROVES
GAS SYSTEM AT
ROUGE FACTORY
New Compressor to Boost
Capacity to Sc Million
Cubic Feet.

Sufficient gas to meet the aver
age daily requirements of a city
of 100000 inhabitants will be
avilable daily at the Ford Rouge
Plant at Dearborn, Mich, when i'm
provements to the plant gas sys-
tenn now under way, are completed,
according TO r. A. Hayes, Indian
apolis branch manager.
The average daily consumption
in Detroit and several suburbs
embracing a population of 100000,
was about 55,O00,0OO cubic feet in
1894. With the installation of a
large new gas compressor designed
to pump about 100000 cubic feet
OF gas a day, The Rouge Plants
compressor capacity will be boosted
to about 56,000,000 cubic feet.
Gas for plant use will be provided
by coke ovens blast furnaces and
a mixing station which will pro-
duce a combination of blast furnace
gas and propane gas. The propane
supply is to be maintained, how
ever, principally as a standby sup
ply and to meet peak loads. The
combination coke oven, blast fur
mace and mixing station gas supply
will give the Rouge Plant total
potential supply of 100000 cubic
feet of gas, although the daily
compressor capacity will be 56,0O0,-
600 cubic feet.
An innovation in industrial gas
distribution control is planned at
the Ford Plant for handling the
immense quantities of gas which
will be used in the widespread plant
departments.
A method of control whereby
every one of the scores of gas con-
sumption points in the plant will
be instantly operated and regulated
from a single, central supervisory
control board is being perfected.
While such electrical control sys-
TENS are in use in many places
in connection with the distribution
OF electric power, this is believed
the first time in American industry
that such system has been ap-
Piled to gas system.

NEW YORK, March rep.
Hamilton Fish, replying. to the first
Communist campaign speech on the

Communism equally last night. He

Browder, Communist Party secre-

spoken the night before. He said L:
Il am inclined to the belief that
the open attacks of Communism
against our industrial, social and

dangerous than the subtle and insid-
ious attacks of the radicals, Social

New Deal brain trust who are
spreading the same kind of class ha-
tired. Like termites, they are I'M
