JHOIVCI IIHO Dili PART IN MOTOR CAR OPERATION Two Copper Sheets With Asbestos Between is Most Efficient Device. The inexperienced motorist little realizes what an important part gaskets play in the proper functioning of an automobile, say experts of the McConaha garage. They are found at every place where there is a joint and when they become damaged the engine suffers. A gasket may be defined as a piece of soft material placed betwen two surfaces to prevent leakage. Usually they are made of paper or asbestos card, but the beat are made of copper asbestos, meaning two very thin sheets of copper with asbestos betwen them. It may be objected that copper is not a soft material, but it certainly is softer than the two pieces of cast iron, or steel betwen which it la placed, and so the definition holds good. As the parts are squeezed together the gasket adapts itself betwen the two surfaces and so makes a tight Joint. Prevent Oil From Leaking. Z Paper gaskets are placed at the bottom of the cylinders to prevent the oil from v leaking as It is splashed about the cylinders, and at the water pump and other places where there is no great heat. It must be evident that asbestos or copper asbestos gaskets are required around the cylinder head, the exhaust manifold and the inlet manifold. These gaskets are stamped out by special machinery and so must be purchased. But the motorist may cut one himself from asbestos card, using the old one as a guide. When the Joint is set up securely by means of the bolts such a gasket will be found to be quite reliable, but it certainly cannot be as satisfactory as one of copper-asvestos. Paper gaskets must be made every time a part is removed, as they are torn in the process of removal. Proper Way to Cut Pattern. There are two ways of cutting them one by means of a hammer, and the other by means of a knife or scissors. A fairly heavy grade of wrapping paper is best. It is laid over the surface to be covered and the fiinger is run along the edge to be cut in order to mark the outline. Here is a dirty fiinger better" than a clean one, as it fcaves a mark that is easy to follow. The paper is now cut along the line of the surface by a hammer delivering rapid blows very close together. This is a very satisfactory method and the one usually employed. If a knife or scissors seems preferable either one may be used to follow the outline marked by the finger. Bolt holes may be cut very neatly by tapping with the rounded end of a machinist's hammer. Gaskets Must Be Shellacked. Such gaskets must be shellacked in order to hold properly. The shellac is applied to one side of the gasket and also to the surface and the two are placed together before they dry. Before the other part is replaced it also receives a coating of shellac, as does the other side of the gasket. The bolts are now set "up as tight as possible and the joint will be found to hold satisfactorily. Leakage of oil through a gasket may readily be discovered, but leakage of air into a manifold is not so easy. If a gasket leaks at the inlet manifold it will give a lean mixture and consequent loss of power. When such a leak is suspected, run the engine and inject oil around the joints to see it it is sucked in. If it is you have located the leak, in which event you should tighten the bolts or replace the gasket. Another method is to inject gasoline around the joints. If the engine picks up speed you know that you have found the leak. So look over your engine and locate the gaskets. Keep a supply of extra ones on hand so that one may be replaced readily and practice on some other machine or part so that when a gasket is needed you may be able to make one expeditiously and well. Stutz. With Eddie Hearne As Pilot, Slated for Race Word has just come from California that K. C. Durant, son of W. A. Durant, president of one of the largest automobile corporations in the country has purchased the famous No. 5 Stutz racer, and has contracted with Eddie Hearne as the pilot. This announcement will undoubtedly result in the icturn of the world's champion Stutz to the Indianapolis Liberty Sweepstakes race, May 31. It is said by western racing enthusiasts that this famous old car will be disguised under another name, than Stutz, but it will be the same No. 5 that made its debut on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1915. A little tinkle of rumor comes hot on the heels of the announced purchase of the Stutz that an attempt will be made to carry to victory on the radiator of this car the name of a well known medium priced automobile, but at this time this rumor has not been confirmed. Ixjcal race officials for the 500-mile Liberty Sweepstakes. May 31, at Indianapolis, believe that Durant will enter tho revamped Stutz at InrilaTtarolis, as it has been intimated that Hearne will campaign this car over the country this season. The Indianapolis officials naturally feel that a purse of $.".0,000 will he too tempting to Eddie and his mount to be overlooked, especially as Heanw knows the Indianapolis course about ls well as any driver in the country. With such a car and with Hearne'B sure, heady driving, this combination of old seasoned veterans will undoubtedly offer stiff competition for thoae who hope to take home the big end cf the Indianapolis purse with ease.-v ... If the car owner, after.being out in bad weather, will take the trouble to wipe the tires and rims clean 'with a sponge Rnd then wipe them dry, especially along the beads, he will do much to prevent tho formation of rust.

Car Bath Particular Job If Done Right "Washing the car is not the casual job some owners seem to imagine," says Cliff Bevlngton, local auto dealer and garage owner. Mr. Bevlngton gave this information. "To begin with, the car should be washed immediately after it has been dirtied. If mud is allowed to remain on the varnished surface for more than a day, It is difficult to eradicate it. for the washing plain water should be used, neither too hot nor too cold, about 50 degrees Farenheit being the proper temperature. A large sponge soaked in clear water and then sopped against the surface, so that the water trickles down, is best. Never turn a stream of water at high prassure on the body. This will grind particles of sand and other grit into the varnish, to the detriment of the finish. The idea is to float the mud or dirt off the surface. Soap should never be used on the body except for removing grease or oil spots. A Boft piece of soft cloth, well covered with castile soapsuds, serves very well to remove grease from the panels. The hood should never be washed while- it is hot, as this will result in discoloration. In cleaning the radiator send a Btream of water from the rear instead of from the front, to keep moisture out of the

mechanism. In dying the body a clean chamois being done in straight lines. If spots of tar or road oil are found on the body, it is best to treat them with salt butter or kerosene. The butter softens the deposit so that it may be wiped off easily. Kerosene should be applied locally and wiped off within a minute. AIRPLANE PRINCIPLE MAKES PERFECT AUTO "The chief aim of builders of the motor car, since the day when ths utility of the automobile was established, has been to increase its range of possibilities," says F. I. Stafford, of the Stafford Auto company. "Through the years every manufacturer has concentrated his energies on perfecting a car which will go over the road with the least resistance, with maximum comfort and greater economy. 'i'l "The introduction of aerotype engineering and designing perhaps has done more toward the attainment of that end than any other one step. It is universally admitted that aerotype construction, such as is found in the Cole Aero Eight, eliminates more efficiently those elements of resistance which stood in the way of motor car performance than any feature brought forth in a decade. "Many principles involved in the construction of aeroplanes are found in the Cole Aero Eight. The frame of this car, through the perfect b1r.nce and coordination of parts accomplishes the same results as that of the aircraft. It is light, strong and flexible. The bulky weight i3 placed In the center, allowing the side members of the frame to serve as shockabsorbing elements. As a measure of extra precaution and comfort shock absorbers are standard equipment on this car. "Because of its well balanced construction, the Cole Aero Eight "skims" over the road. It is not driven into the road. With road resistance practical".' eliminated there is a marked decrease in wear and tear on tires." CAPT. KIMBER VAS READY TO DIE OF: CONSUMPTION Doctors Told Him So, but He Is Gaining Strength and Health Tells How. "My case of tuberculosis was an advanced one, of over , five years' standins. Was in a tuberculosis hospital for over a year and returned home worse than when I went. I had to give up a good position in New York City and move up Into the Catsklll mountains on the advice of my physician. "The doctors said I was ready to die a year ago. I was so weak I could hardly stand up. "I began taking Milks Emulsion last October. I have now taken 18 large bottles and my gain In health and strength has been very steady. I am now able to walk to the village three miles and. back, and chop a little wood every day. "I used to fill a sputum box once a day and my cough was continual. Now I do not raise enough to fill a sputum box in a week. I do not cough any during the day, only when I get up in, the morning. , "When 1 first began taking Milks Emulsion, and for some time after that, I couldn't take a deep breath without coughing. Now I ran take in draughts of fresh air without any of thaprevtous irritation. I had six hemorrhages prior to last October, but since taking Milks Emulsion I have not spit up a bit of blood and have been practically free from temperature. "I have been treated by thirteen different doctors and had spent all my money trying to find a c,ure. The doctors all told me that there was no medicine that could do this, so I was very skeptical about trying even the first bottle of Milks Emulsion. But I was persuaded to do so by a nurse who told me of two positive cures it. had effected in her own family. "Thank God, 1 tried it. I began to feel a beneficial effect only ten hours after I started taking it. I am continuing its use, feeling pretty sure It will effect a cure in my case, as I am steadily improving. The advanced stage of my disease had arrived before I heard of Milks Kmulsion," and this is making my recovery slower than ff I had started taking It a few years sooner." Capt. Frederick E. Kimber, Dunton Lodge. Cairo. N. Y. Capt. Kimber wrote this letter August 1. 1918. His constant gain in strength and health through this wonderful food medicine has been duplicated in hundreds of other advanced cases. t'nder the maker's guarantee. et'Ffy- sufferer is welcome to try It witnout risKing a cent.

CAUSE OF GASOLINE LEAKS If gasoline drips from the carburetor when the car is standing and the engine is not running, the needle valve connected with the float should be Investigated. If pressing down stops the dripping, the float is too high. If the dripping persists, the valve leaks, and should be ground in, preferably using pumice-stone.

And that is 'not all: . The two -phase power feature of its 58-horsepower V-type engine means still further saving.

NEW. LONG ISLAND MAP

The Bureau of Tours of the Automobile Club of America has issued a new map of Long Island, and vicinity. Th touring area shown is somewhat larger than is usually included in a Long Island map. The main routes along the" Connecticut shore is shown as far as Westerly, It. I. The principal connections are also shown between Manhattan and Westchester county, and a section is included of New York and New Jersey west of the Hudson and south of Stony Point. Motorists who are not club members may obtain copies for 50 cents, paper edition, or 1 1 printed on linen. Strong soapsuds made from automobile soap and rubbed on the glass of the windshield and allowed to dry will prevent fog or rain from obscuring the vision through the glass. Kerosene is sometimes used for this purpose, but it does not last as long as the above, and glycerin is also recommended.
