Buick Value —The Measure of Automobile Values People now-a-days measure automobile values on the basis of Buick value. How often you hear such remarks as: “It’s not nearly as good as Buick”. People make these remarks both consciously and unconsciously. Consciously, because they actually know Buick value either from their own experience or that of their friends; unconsciously, because for twenty years Buick has been the accepted standard of the industry. Good reasons, both, why you should own a Buick.

How Carbon Deposit and Leaky Valves Rob Engine’s Power I am sure most of my readers know from experience what an annoying and temper trying experience it is to try to pump up a deflated tire with a tire pump that is not air tight. You pump and pump, getting warmer and warmer every minute, both inside and outside, yet with all your hard work, the tire inflates with exasperating slowness. When your engine commences to lose its power and pep, it may be for the same reason that the tire pump takes so long to pump up the tire. Your engine is composed-of a number of cylinders which if they are going to do their work properly, must be air tight. If any of the valves are leaking, when the pistons come up on the compression stroke, part of the charge of gasoline mixture leaks away, then the engine naturally fails to develop its full power. It is a good idea, therefore, at this time of the year, to examine all valves and see that they are seating properly and holding compression. This is not a difficult operation, and can be performed by any driver that takes an interest in his car. Some engines have caps fitted over

move the nuts on them. The cylinder head can now be lifted off. The first thing you will notice on lifting off the head will be a deposit of gritty black carbon deposit, and this must be removed before you start grinding in the valves. This carbon deposit is the cause of overheating, knocking and loss of power, especially during the warm weather. .To remove the carbon, use a flat scraper and a wire brush. If the cylinder head is held down with j bolts, be sure to screw the bolts back in • CLEANING OUT place before you start scraping off the > \ CARBON DEPOSIT carbon.

JACRCT HO!£S BRING R/STON TO Start removing the carbon from the TQR Q£ STRORT cylinder next the radiator. Turn the engine over with the hand crank until you bring the piston in this cylinder to the top of its stroke. After scrap ing off all carbon with scraper, finish with the wire brush and a piece of cloth moistened in gasoline. Be very careful to remove every particle of carbon from cylinder walls. You are now ready to exaqaine and if necessary' grind in the valves. To remove the valves, pry up the spring under the valve, then remove the small pin or retainer under the washer. If you find difficulty In drawing the valve up through the valve guide, examine the end of the valve stem to see if it is burred. If it is. remove the burr with a fne file. Take out only one valve at a time, so EXAMINE THE VALVES that you wlll not get them mixed up . ( \ If the faces of the valves and valve \\ seats have a continuous silvery gray — ( j ring on them, they are in perfect conjggri \l ' dition and should not be touched.

For fifteen days Mrs. Temple Evans, widow bf the late Charles T. Evans, served as clerk of Vermilion County. Evans' second term was to

the valves. In this cast, all that is necessary is to remove the valve caps, then the valves can be taken out. If, however, there are no valve caps over the valves, then the first thing to do is to drain the cooling system. While the water is draining off, disconnect the spark plug wires and tag each one as you take it off, so that you will know which cylinder it goes to. Next remove the spark plugs and the top hose connection. Now remove the cylinder head holding down bolts or if studs are used, re-
