Use Of Oil TO Eliminate
Valve Stickage Explained

How best to add special valve oil
when trying to eliminate stickage
of valves is simply solved when you
consider what the problem really
Is. There is no point in administer
ing the oil unless it reaches those
places where the stickage starts,
which, briefly, is in the valve guides.
Since guides have two ends, there
are two ways by which oil can be
administered, through the cylinders
and through the valve compartment.
It is only mildly effective to in
troduce the oil through putting 1t
into the gas tank. This method Is
preferred as a preventive of stick
age rather than as a cure. To
send a stable quantity OF oil into
the combustion chambers, remove
the air filter. speed up the engine
and pour half pint of oil into the
Air intake of the Carburetor. When
the last of the oil has gone through
the intake, cut off the engine and
allow it to remain idle for about 20
minutes. At the end of this time,
start it up and let it race for few
times. Clouds of smoke will emit
from the exhaust. and much dry
carbon will be blown out.
Use a quart of the special oil II
1t is to be admitted to the valve
guides by way Of the engines oiling
system and the valve compartment.
A longer time will be required in
most cases to free the stickage and
even if this plan does not prove so
successful as the cylinder route.
1t will be effective in checking the
spread of stickage down through the
valve guides.

Axle Lubricant Trouble
Can Be Adjusted Easily

One of the important details in
keeping a car in good condition is
to cater to its peculiar wants, which
NATURALLY vary for different makes
and models.
On one car, there is much COM
plant about lubricant working out
of the rear axles. This has given
some owners no end of worry, and
considering that the trouble is di-
rectly due to a grease retainer that
doesn't do a good job, there seems
to be plenty of justification for de-
spalr.
But meeting the problem is SIM
pie enough. Owners should merely
make it a rule to drain off some of
the rear end lubricant whenever the
car is being fabricated. The excess
In the rear end comes from the
Transmission leaking past faulty
retainer into the propeller shaft
housing.

Functions Of Engine Rings
Exclaimed for Motorists

1t has been a marvel to service
men to know how motorists can
expect to make sensible selection
Of piston rings when they profess
to know so little about how rings
work. Some motorists do not even
know the difference between COM
preston and oil rings, yet they fire.
quently tell the service man what
kind Of rings are preferred or argue
with him as to just how many rings
should be replaced. All this sug-
gests the ACCESSIBILITY of a brief
summary of the purpose Of rings
and the types needed in an internal
combustion engine.
Rings must do two things: First.
they must prevent expanding gases
from blowing past the pistons into
the crankcase; second, they must
prevent oil from sucking up into
the combustion chambers. Nat
urally, the upper rings check loss of
compression and gases into the
chankcase, while the lower rings
control the amount of oil that Is
distributed over the cylinder walls.
Engineers are by no means in
agreement as to how many rings
are best, and there are as many
ideas about ring design as there are
companies making rings. However,
in replacing rings, it is important
to avoid using rings with such pres
sure that they keep oil from the
area in which the pistons travel.
That may make for good, slow
pulling power for a time. but it kills
the engines pep. causes heating and
wears the rings and cylinders excess
sively. For lest results. an engine
should always burn off some oil,
otherwise, it is not being properly
fabricated.
In any kind OF ring work it can
not be too strongly emphasized that
the skill of the mechanic is para

a brightness about them that can
well serve to add a note of cheer
to the serious Job ahead in the
preparedness program.
Equally serious is the part the
automobile dealers of the Nation
have in placing these new cars in
the hands of the public. for the
public has cone to regard the auto
mobile as a prize essential of mod
ern life and looks to the dealer to
make it accessible to the Commun-
tty. In a word, the automobile is a
public institution. and the local
dealer Is one of its trustees.
Dealers Responsibility.
1t is the responsibility of the
dealer to maintain the prestige Of
each car sold by keeping it in work.
Ing order for the owner. To do
this he must employ complete
and trained staff snd keep on hand
an adequate supply of repair parts
as we'll as maintain clean and up
to-date place of business in a con-
venient location.
Selling of a new car frequently
involves the exchange of two ard
three used cars before the trans
action has been completely liqui-
dated and the dealer has realized
on his investment. In that man
ner he serves the requirements OF
the buyer who can afford a nov
car as we'll as the buyer whose in
come permits him only the lowest
priced used car.
Service to Public.
Public interest demands that au-
tomobile dealers be stable and de-
pendable merchants of the service
which automobile users require
Through the years this requirement
has made the automobile retailer a
substantial businessman in the COM
munity, with large investments IN
buildings and service facilities and
personal participation in civic az
fairs. His customers are his friends
and neighbors, who buy from him
because he serves them with salts
faction.
The operations Of automobile
dealers today are guided by the
publics interest. Competition is un-
deniably keen, but this competition
has been the publics insurance

ALL FOOLS DAY

How the custom of playing practical
jokes on April /, known also as All Fools
Day, originated is unknown, but one
authority has traced its beginning as far
back as about 1864 in France. At this
time New Years Day was carried back
from March % to January /.
Prior to that, the spring festival be-
gan on March 25 and ended on April l,
this last day being one on which it was
the practice to play harmless jokes on
ones friends and neighbors, such as send
irg them on fools errands, the person
fooled being called an April fish.
The day appears to have been
anciently observed in England as a gen
eral festival, but the fooling feature was
not introduced until about 100. In Scot
land the victim of fooling was called an
April gowk. meaning cuckoo. A similar
custom is said to have been widespread in
India from time immemorial.
In some countries hOaXes have been
perpetrated on the public by newspapers
on April L. A few years ago Havana
morning paper on that day printed tragic
account of the wreck of large foreign
ship named the Loot Lirpa in the harbor.
Vast throngs went to the docks to see the
ill-fated vessel, but the wreck was not
visible Loot Lirpa was merely april

HANDS OFF SEAPLANE BASE!

Key West has had some very bitter
and painful experiences in her past his
tory. Not a few of them were caused by
unwarranted demands upon employers,
particularly during the period when the
cigar industry fiourished here. The Cltl-
zen has seen industries leave Key West be-
cause of the unreasonabeness of some of
those who then found employment in our
manufacturing plants. -.
- - Now Key West is facing new era
what appears to be one that will bring
prosperity to our city once again. Part oil
this new outlook, the new optimism OF our
citizens is based on the resumption of
naval activities. One of the factors in this
new activity is construction of the naval
seaplane base on the old TrumbO Island
section of the city. Erection of the sea-
plane plant is providing work for cur idle
men and a new source of income for all
our citizens. There is some indication the
seaplane base may become a permanent
part of the naval establishment here.
Nothing should be allowed to inter-
fere with the construction of the seaplane
base. The wages being paid the common
laborers and skilled workers by the con-
tractor are specified by the navy depart
ment These wages were established by
the U. S. department of labor and are
based on the standard of pay for COM
parable work in private enterprise in this
area. In other words, the wages directed
by the navy department are the wages
prevailing generally in this area. The sea-
plane base workmen may not work more
than eight hours in any one day-this also
3 part of the specifications laid down
by the naval authorities.
So it came as a surprise when it was
revealed yesterday that a man represent
ing himself to be an organizer for one of
the big labor groups appeared on the
naval seapane base site and began agitat-
ing the workmen into making demands for
higher wages. The agitatOr was ordered
off the property leased by the navy, but
there is nothing, except the common sense
of our Key West w0rkmen, to prevent him
carrying on his program of organization
elsewhere. tsnl..s:. l. i5fr. Il.
Our citizens hope the common sense
of our workmen will be strong enough to
prevent trouble and delay in the compile
ton of the seaplane base project. There
is always danger that such trouble might
cause the loss of the base to this city. We
hope all of our citizens are agreed that
this is poor time to start making demands
upon those interests that are helping put
Key West back on its feet.

something about ito answer
the great commission by putting
the teaching and example of Je-
sus to work in our lives.
The eleven disciples Judas
now being dead and probably
about five hundred others las re-
ferred to by Paul in 1 Corinthians
1850 gathered on a certain noun
tain in Galilee, probably three or
four weeks after the resurrection
at the place and probably at the
time specified by Jesus when he
told the two Marys who were at
the tomb to tell his disciples to
meet him in Galilee.
There on the mountain-top.
Jesus gave to the waiting apps
ties and the other believers gath
cred there their orders as to their
course of action in the future. In
the beginning he affirmed his SOW
ereignty. "All power is given
unto me in heaven and in earth"
During his ministry, he had
shown his authority over disease.
demons, and even death itself.
He had proved his authority over
the forces of nature: he had prov
ed his authority to forgive sin
and, now. after his resurrection,
he asserts the authority which he
has both in heaven and in earth.
Then, in the words of DR.. H.
c. Moore: "The Master sketched
four features for his worldwide
and age-long program. The first
was enlightenment. Go, We
therefore and let your light
shine in every part of the world
