cause a short plug permits the heat
from the electrodes to reach the
shell and thence the cylinder head
quicker.
Plug makers have simplified the
business OF remembering plug type
by showing that the heat range work
ike thermometer. Plugs with the
higher numbers are hotter, the cooler
ones having the smaller numbers.
1t Is important to replace plugs or
change to different heat type BY
referring to the numbers, not bv
measuring or comparing lengths. To
correct minor condition it is ad-
v1sable not to jump more than one
number in the heat range. For moro
serious conditions greater jumps may
be made
Should the plugs show rapid burn
ing away Of the electrodes, for In
stance, the remedy would be changing
TO q cooler plug. Preignition caus-
Ing backfiring, or excessive blowby.
would call for the same treatment.
On the other hand, If plugs should
ioul continually the indications would
be that they are too cool a type.
ONLY five things can happen to
spark plugs. They may wear
out normally, develop an abnormal !
gap, break or crack the insulator, start
preignition or foul. Many tests have
proven that after 10000 miles the
best OF plugs have seen their maximum
service and should be replaced Re-
Gaping, to compensate for normal
wear on the electrodes, should b.
done every 5000 to 5000 miles. Al
ways use a feeler guage when re-
Gaping the points Of a plug. It is
Job that calls for precision.
While the cleaning Of spark plug
Is no longer a simple operation for
the car owner without service station
equipment he may occasionally find
1t necessary TO make an alteration
himself at some time when service
Is not convenient. Care should be
taken in removing the plugs, for they
may be damaged easily by rough
handling with wrench that is not
designed to fit them. In re-gapping
always bend the side electrode only
never the center one.
If the lower end of the insulator is
cracked the indications are that
either the plug is the wrong heat
type or the engine is operating much
too hot Remember that spark plugs
tell much about any engines general
condition.
Much of the blistering of the cleo
trodes is due to preignition and the
use of too hot a plug. Blow-by is
evidenced by streaks of SCOT on the
outside of the plugs between the In
sulator and the shell. This calls for
cooler type Of plug. If an engine
Is habitually hard to start 1t may need
hotter plug.
Knowing your plugs these days
means knowing your motor.

There is no man of vast wealth
living in this country today who has

wisely or benehcially than he, and
here and there all over this broad

OF people whom he has quietly aided
In his strenuous battle of life; many
a man whom he cheerfully assisted
out OF the slough OF despond; many
man and woman ready to rise and
call him blessed because Of his count
less benefactions. In all his CHEEKY
benef1cence, Mr. Morton never ques-
toned an applicant for his bounty
how he came to be down and out, nor
what his political or sectarian leanings
might be.
In private life he was ever one
Of the most lovable and unostenta-

PLUGS BEAR BRUNT
Much Trouble Is Avoided by Observing
New Rules in Selecting and Servicing
Automobile Spark Plugs.
PARK PLUGS, always the zest OF

- PARK PLUGS, always the zest OF
the automobile engine, have
stepped into new prominence
~ with developments that mark
important strides in motor advance
ment, says Frederick Russell, auto
motive expert According to service
men the number Of ailments directly
attributable to failure to pay proper
attention to the selection and care
Of plugs has increased by leaps and
bounds.
-Four major changes in motoring
conditions account for the main alter
ations in spark plug design. First
among these is the greatly increased
horsepower of modern engines. Seven
years ago engine output varied from
80 to so horsepower, whereas today
horsepower varies from so to 100
This means higher temperatures and
two more major changes: Higher
compression and higher engine speed
Over a seven-year period compression
has jumped from go pounds per square
inch to 30. Engine speed has nearly
doubled, leaping from 1,700 rpm. to
5000.
Fourth among the major develop
menst is the great increase in road
speed. Fifty miles per hour was fast
seven years ago; today fast car
travels at least 80. This is one Of
the greatest difficulties in the selec-
ton of spark plugs, because motorists
change their speed habits frequently,
little realizing that the marked change
in speed should by all rules call for
change in spark plugs.
When the car is driven faster It's
owner expects the motor to use more
gas and oil. He is prepared for
greater difficulty in bringing the car
to stop. But he assumes that the
spark plugs can handle the situation
with ease. It Is tribute to manu-
featuring ingenuity that spark plugs
are as reliable as we now find them.
WITH these marked changes In
engine design and car use one
Of the first steps was to adopt a
smaller diameter plug. Previously
plugs were of standard size, meas
ured in inches. Their SUCCESSORS
were metric size, ranging down to as
small as IA nm. 1t is expected that
increased combustion chamber tenn
peratures will call for 10 NM plugs.
Utilizing a smaller diameter permits
the plug to give up its heat to the
cylinder head more efficiently.
The next step was to study the
heat characteristics of motors and
to design plugs Of varying heat dis
sipating characteristics. The result
was the offering Of complete heat
range with plugs varying from the
cooler to the hotter type. The only
difference between hotter and
cooler plug is that the former is
longer. Putting 1t another way for
the sake of clarity, cooler plug is
q shorter one. This is logical be-

MILAN LANDS FROM SEATTLE,
 MARINE PLANE
New Marine Airways Pilot and Mechanic Arrive
 Tn Fairchlld

Bringing the Marine Airways Fairchild II seaplane north to Ju- neau. Chet Mclean. new Marine Airways pilot, arrived here this afternoon about 12:30 o'clock, with the completely rebuilt ship, which has been painted the Marine Air ways colors, black and yellow.
 Arriving here in the Fairchild with Pilot Mclean was Donald Shoe maker, airplane mechanic, who will be in charge of service for Mar inc Airways. Shoemaker and Mo- Lean were engaged by Chief Pilot Alex Holden while he was south this winter.
 With Herbert Neff and R. c. Todd as passengers, Pilot Mclean and Shoemaker took off from Se- attle yesterday morning at 10 O. clock in the Fairchild. and after stopping three hours at Alert Bay, arrived at Ketchikan yesterday af- ternoon. Spending the night at Ket- chikan, they came on into Juneau today.
 MT. Todd was landed at Peters burg this morning by Pilot Mclean and Vance Blackwell took passage on the plane from there into Ju- neau N. A. McEachran also arrived here with Pilot Mclean this after noon being a passenger from Wran- gell to Juneau on the flight north.
 Pilot Mclean is wellknown in Juneau and southeast Alaska, hay ing flown in this section for sev- eral years before shifting his &C., tivities to the Interior and Vest ward. He was formerly a pilot for the Ketchikan Airways and the AL aska Air Express, in this section, and was one of the founders of the Panhandle Air Transport Company. Leaving here, he flew in the h. terior for the Pollack AirwayS, and for the past three years has been flying for the Star Airways, of Anchorage.
 MT. Shoemaker has been connect cd with the service and mainten- ance divisions of several major fly ing companies during the past twenty years.
 Since taken south by Pilot Holden this winter, the Marine Airways Fairchild seaplane has been com pletely rebuilt from floats up, al a cost of several thousand dollars and, glistening in it's new paint is in perfectc cndition. The shir performed admirably on the flight north from Sea tile, Pilot Mclean said.
 This afternoon. Pilot Mclean ac- companied Pilot Holden on the fourth of the company's series of round flights between Juneau and Chichagof and Sitka, in the Marine Airways Bellanca seaplane leaving here about 1:30 o'clock.
 On his return from Sitka this af- ternoon about 4 o'clock, Pilot Hol- den is to take short hop to ths down-channel end of Douglas Is. land, with one passenger
