Slight Leakage Of Water
Into Cylinders May Pre-
vent Plug Firing.
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.


If the engine starts more easily
when the water level is allowed to
run low the indications are that there
has been leakage of water into the
cylinders through the head easket.
A lower water level will, of course,
prevent such leakage when the engine
is idle. Usually a leak Of this sort
does not continue when the engine Ia
running, due to expansion Of the
cylinder head and block.
Even slight leakage into the cylinders
will cause moisture to get on the
plugs IN sufficient quantity to prevent
the latter from firing. 1t Is a common
cause OF starting trouble much toe
often overlooked.
Few motorists are willing to admit
the fact. but one reason why new cars
run so well Is because they are given
the benefit Of the sort of driving that
owners feel new cars deserve. Re-
versing this explains why it is that
when a car starts to grow old 1t per-
forms much worse than 1t really
should.
Merely psychological? Well, per-
haps. My personal feeling is that
new cars are given the advantage
OF better driving. If have ever had
any doubts about it, these were quickly
dispelled the other day when I rode
with an extremely thoughtless driver
who failed to obtain anything like
smooth performance from q brand
new car. He operated the car as IL
it were "junker," crashing through
the gears, racing the engine, slamming
on the brakes and letting in the
clutch too suddenly. As I rode with
him I became conscious Of the fact
that the engine was noisy and rough.
The brakes did not seem to Be equal.
lied. In addition, the clutch grabbed.
had to keep looking at the sparkling
hood to keep convinced that the car
was new.
Apparently 1t requires new-car
driving to help q new car do its
stuff. wonder why more Of us
don't try some new-car driving with
our older cars. 1t might help US save
money to invest in better new cars.
Judging the cause Of tire wear from
the character of the wear itself al
ways seems like phase OF clairvoy-
ance to the average motorist. Yet
some Of this diagnosis is simple
enough. A case in point concerns
the matter of trying to decide be-
tween wear caused by underinflation
and that resulting from some error
OF alignment. When a tire is run
under too little pressure both sides OF
the tread will be as good as new. If,
however, the wear is only on one side
invariably the outer side of the tread
you can be sure the trouble Is due to
some more serious cause.

that he gives the car many little at
tentions which are not on the oiling
chart. Follow him as he lifts the
hood and spreads little graphite on
the hood lacing. Note that he gives
the hood clamps a drop or two of oil.
He may even put pat OF vaseline on
the hinge of the foot rail or sparingly
lubricate the mechanism for the ad-
justment of the position Of the front
seat.
All auxiliary fabrication must be
done sparingly. That is one reason
why it is so often overlooked When
the car is raised on rack and pounds
of grease are shot into the transmits
sion and universal joints. fabrication
becomes an easily understood process.
Reduce it to drop Of light oil or a
pat of vaseline. however, and it seems
less important. Overlooking miscel-
laneous fabrication invites miscella-
neous trouble, much of it serious and
expensive.
1T TAKES but little penetrating
or spring oil to check those loud
and annoying noises in cars of the
Hotchkiss drive type where friction
between the front ends of the rear
spring leaves is particularly high. Oc-
casional fabrication of the cross shaft
of the braking system will prevent
having the shaft freeze" and the
brakes refuse to release. Just a pat
of vaseline on the cam of the dis
tributor shaft will silence an annoy
ing birdie" which has worried many
a driver.
The speedometer cable is one OF
those parts that requires a little at
tention now and again. About every
10000 miles its flexible shaft core
should be removed and run through
a handful of grease. A special lubri-
cant recommended by the speedome-
ter makers is preferable for this.
Since the speedometer head should
be removed and fabricated carefully
with oil at this same mileage period,
it is advisable to let the service people
attend to both jobs. If the head is
overlubricated the speed dial will be-
come unbalanced and disassemoling
will be necessary.
About every 2,500 miles few drops
of light oil should be applied to the
generator through the special oiler
usually provided. This oil reaches
the motor bearing. Here again mod
Grafton is the rule. An excess Of oil
will cause the commutator and brushes
to become oily. The trouble is, how
ever, that too many car owners con-
fuse moderation with oversight.

prior to 1914, and Keys new words for
the already familiar air seemed the
most natural thing in the world.
One of the very earliest versions of
the music and words together was
published by the Cars Music Store
in Baltimore some months after the
stirring occurrences which gave the
stanzas birth. The original of this
precious edition is what is known to
Libraries of music as Americana raris-
sima; that is to say, extremely rare
American published music. The Lii
brary Of Congress possesses copy of
this, which is illustrated here, and
shows how published music of CEN
tury and a quarter ago really looked.
The Library of Congress collection
of early editions of THE Star Span
gled Banner" in music form comprises
virtually every known edition that has
ever appeared of this great song, which
was made the official national anthem
by Congress during the presidency of
Hoover. This truly remarkable song
collection is due primarily to the in
defatigable efforts Of two well-known
students of American music, the late
Oscar Sonneck, for many years chief
Of the Division of Music in the Library
Of Congress, and Joseph Muller Of the
New York Public Library.

sional lubricant in order To protAct
the bearings. Today many cars come
equipped with vibrator type horns.
These require no fabrication. Since
the starter motor is not in constant
operation. 1t does not need as much
attention as the generator.
HOWEVER, the owner often Is In.
cnned to neglect it altogether.
because he does not take the trouble
to remove the cover from the armature
so as to lubricate the shaft bearings
On many of the newer cars. how
ever, the starter motor bearings are
self-lubricating. That is, they are
made of a bronze composition with
lubricant imbedded within.
At the base of the distributor will
be found special oiler. Light en-
gine oil should be injected here for
the purpose of lubricating the dis
tributor shaft. Do this about every
$500 miles. Here again moderation
is the watchword II too much oil
is injected at this point the excess
will work up into the head and cause
blackening of the points as it is scat
tered by the moving shaft into a sort
OF mist. Some distributor shafts re-
quire grease. Be sure you know your
cars specific needs.
Among the parts requiring occa-
sional lubricating are those in thu
control system. Take the levers that
operate the throttle and the position
of the distributor. Often the throttle
shaft itself sticks. To prevent this
put penetrating oil In the shaft from
time to time. Even the accelerator
pedal hinge will need oil. This part
Is apt to become rusty. Should this
happen the pedal may stick and allow
the engine to race.
The speed with which the modern
car can be fabricated, when consider.
ing only the essential units, should not
be stressed to the point where no
time is allowed for checking over de.
tails. Extra mileage is invariably the
result of extra fabrication.
