I called upon not long since to fix an engine which would easily start. but when the power was wanted it it ould slow down and stop.

The magneto as applied to cars at the present day fully meets the requirements of such cases as I have illustrated, and -will deliver the spark when wanted in fine style, making an otherwise poor working motor almosr uptodate. I have found in my work of repairing and starting up balky en gines that there are Just four things absolutely necessary to the correct workings of the automobile gasoline engine and I will give them here: . First, gasoline in the cylinders un der compression; second, correit tim ing of the point where the gas is to be. ignited: third, spark introduced at this correct time, and fourth, spark repeated as the engine starts to work. Yeu will then have no cause for com plaint. I. How often should -raphite be used as a, lubricant for springs? Would the paste or stick stove polish do if mixed with snsoline? i. The center bolt in my rear spring (Ford) breaks frequently, v. h How 'can I prevent ItT S. P. Tracy. 1. No rule can be given for this. Apply the graphite whenever it is found to be required. This may be only CTice a year, and then again it may be oftener. The object in using a lubricant between the spring leaves is to prevent squeaking, rusting and to cut down the friction. No great harm wiill be done, if the car is used until the lubricant is exhausted. In fact we would' advise operating the car until it is noticed that a new applica tion of graphite is required 2. Steve polish wiill not do. Tou should use flake or powder graphite. Tour suggestion as to using gasoline I brings up an interesting point. It Is silently preferable to mix tne grapnue with gasoline, because after the paste is applied to the spring surfaces, . the fuel evaporates and leaves the dry graphite, which acts -as a lubricant, yet there is no grease or oil to ooxe out between the leaves to catch the dust fend give the springs a dirty ap pearance. 3. The only possible explanation seems to be that you allow this bolt to come loose, or when you put in a new one you do not tighten it suffi ciently. -Use a lock washer to hold the nut from turning and in addition see that the spring clips are kept tight, because if these work loose an addi tional strain is placed on the center bqlt. In replacing this bolt, mate sure tmr you ootaia one from the Ford company. Do not use any bolt that happens to be the right size, as it may not have the requisite strength. I wish to know if four Ford induc tion coils may be connected in such a I manner as to give an induced current I in the secondaries, stronger than that obtained from the secondary or one COIL ' When all coifs are connected would Um great number of turns then in the primary diminish the current" Harold Makin 1- Connecting the four cells In series will give a voltage nearly four times aa great, and this will cause a tem porary current flow nearly four times as large as with one coiL This is assuming that the windings of the colls will stand this increased voltage They may stand it for a short time before ttvAalrtncr AftAarw Hut .Hav a a olnancf certain to break down in time anI they may give out me moment ine current is turned on. Do not attempt to Improve the lgnl-, tiorf of your car in this manner. If it does not work properly, find out what Is the trouble and fix it. If you will describe your trouble we will help you. However, If you wish to use the fous coils in series, merely as an experi ment, do not do so unless you are will ing to risk ruining all tour coils. :. Under these condltibns the cur rent in the primary would be slights less, due to the fact that the resistance of the primary circuit is now four times as great as it was previously Nevertheless. rou-:hly speaking, the current flowing through the primarv may be said to be about the same amount whether the primary consists of one coll or four coils, because the resistance in any case is very small T have a 1)12 Mitchell touring car. . model T. which has never been run very hard and is in verv good shaDe. exceptI can only get about 25 miles out of a quart of oil. the oil pumps so very fast, if I run at any speed.Oouln you give me any Idea as to Why it should use so much oil? Earl S. Hartley First examine the line running to the i clutch yoke, as it may be that this is receiving far too much oil. There Is a valve controling this supply right back of the oil gage and this should be opened only about 1-1 of a turn or just enough to insure a small amount of oil flowing to the yoke. ; Another possibility is that the oil Is leaking out of the rear main bearing This may be stopped by removing the lower half of the bearing and cutting a trough in the center, the trough slop ing so that excess oil will flok back into the crank case. In addition make sure that no excels of oil finds its way up into the com bustion chambers, due to loose fitting pistons, etc i I am told that there is no method for . removing carbon from gasoline en gines which is superior to the use of denatured alcohol. Kindly give me a little advice. Would you apply while engine is hot or cold" How much to each cylinder- How long should it remain in cylinders A. X. Terrlll. By all means apply the alcohol when the motor ii hot. for the reason that the action of the alcohol is roerch to dissolve the gummed oil which binds the particles of i carbon together into a hard, solid mass, and when the alcohol is hot it dissolves the oil more readilv. The cylinder should be filled with alcohol so that it will come into con tact with every part of the carbon. It Is best to do one cylinder at a time. Bring the piston to top dead center on the compression stroke, as the valves are then closed. Fill the cylinder with alcohol and allow it to stand until the carbon is softened. How long this will take depends on how hard the carbon is. One hour may be sufficient and then again it mav be Mcamrv in allow it to stand over night, or possibly 24 hours. T CAUSE OF SAXD W.IJ.TKK.

Venice. California. March . Pros pects this far in advance are for such a large entry list for the first annual Venice Grand Prix. March IT. that Chairman U T. ShetUer and manager Paul Derkum are considering the ad visability of elimination contests. Ven ice desires for its first race only the 1 fastest cars obtainable. According to .aiaMger Deraum, venice wouiu pnuvr flteen of the very fastest cars to twenty-five, which would include slower machines. ' Star drivers and managers of racing teams have been consulted by Derkum J :f ,. .it i.n i,, .k.i, wM mli. I - --' "J-ll.::v-' ;--.; .. er see a more restricted entry list and faster time. For the Venice Grand Prix, as Mr Deikum explans it. it would be prefer able if all cars had to establish their Jkbllity to make a presribed speed. In this way. If five cars of one type showed they atod the speed necessary. twoxwere too stow, then they would be eliminated. Bat. one qualification, speed, is being cosMdaered by. the racing committee of the W. A. A. That is ' miles an hour, the same requirement that is exacted at the Indianapolis speedway. Venice is a road race and if its mini mum were platted aa high as that of the most famous speedway in the world, it immediately would secure rank as the fastest road course in the country. George Adair, the starter, inspected the Venice parkway and says he be lieves the old Santa Monica record will be surpassed. That was 78.72 miles an hour. The entire parkway is -to be sur rouaoVd by a canvas walL If present plans are carries out, This will make It ae. largest inclosure eer created in e history of sport. The wall will be six feet high and three and a half miles in length. It will completely en circle the course and make It impos sible to view the race except from within the confines. A double patrol of guards, one outside and the other within, will safeguard the wall and any attempt to cut the canvas will be re- garded as malicious destruction of property and the miscreants subject to arrest This -ma)- serve as a hard blow to the "fence birds." who have been ac customed to see road races without contributing to the cause, .but it is a step toward the accomplishment of the ideal of the W. A. A. committee, which is that spesctators shall pay to see such high-class sport or stay at home. The drivers are the ones to profit from the Venice Grand Prix and although they are guaranteed SSwos. it is the hope of Chairman Shettler to increase this sum from the net profits of the race.

"We are not half so much inter ested in war orders for motor trucks as wd are in the problem of filling peace orders, ' said the sales manager of a big motor car company recently. "One of the most gratifying phases of this year's business is the tremen dous demand for motor trucks." con tinued the sales manager. "The truck has been of very gradual growth due to the fact that it had to meet more exacting conditions than the pleasure car and that, until within the last two or three years, neither maker or user knew exactly what tnose conditions were. "The more conservative class of bus iness men. while recognizing that the truck, wnen perfected, would inevita bly replace the horses for all city serv ice, at the same time held aloof while they watched from the corner of their eyes the performance of trucks in the hands of their leas cautious, if more enterprising, competitors. "TheNSupremacy of the truck over the horses for city service, has now been recognized for several years and. while the truck business has not grown as rapidly as many imagined It would, and of the three hundred odd com paneis in tne business only a few are really successful, those few are enjoy ing a splenditr'business. The most interesting phase of this year's development is the demand for trucks in rural districts One carload order for trucks exclusively, received at the recent Chicago show, came from a little town in Wisconsin, the popula tion of which is about five hundred. That town is the center of a dairy dis trict and several of our trucks had gone in there previously. Tire progressive farmer, stock raiser ?nd dairyman has discovered that the ruck is more efficient in his business than is the horse equipment. We had not anticipated that. Seemed as if on a dair; farm, for example, where horses are needed for other purposes anyway, that the latter would Drove more eco nomical than the truck. The progress-J ivc rarmer nas round out differently. Quick delivery Is just as important a factor in bis business as in the busi ness of the merchant the whAlMa1 I the manufacturer in the city. In fact. i is more important oecause the cows cannot be milked before a certain hour and the train to the etty loaves at a certain time. Between those two "pe riods the product must be delivered."
