The Automobile Simplified By FREDERICK C. GUERRLICH, M. E. Make This Your Automobile Correspondence School AN Intimate talk on the working tmiU of the automobile discussed la uch a way that the layman can easily understand them. If In reading these articles, as they appear in the Palladium each Saturday, there is anything not clear to you, ask Mr. Guerlich about it. An answer will be published on the completion of the articles on the section of the automobile under discussion. Copyrighted, 1917, By Frederick C Gusrrlich.

LESSON NO. 11. The Locating of Trouble. Many owners of automobiles do not derive the full pleasure from their cars, because of a fear to take long trips lest something should go wrong and they should be unable to determine what the trouble is. "While the automobile of today is so nearly a perfect machine, as to seldom give trouble on the road, nevertheless the man who feels that, if something did go wrong, he could locate the trouble and repair it, .needs must get more

pleasure from driving his car than the man who feels that he would be helpless.' The locating of trouble in the automobile engine is not nearly as difficult as many believe it to be. The man who knows the why and wherefore of the various parts; who thinks, and who will go about matters systematically, will find that he can almost instantly tell what made his engine 6top, or what is causing It to miss. There are two kinds of troublehunters; one will take hold of a wire; replace a spark plug; turn a screw on the carbureter, exhaust himself or his battery cranking the engine, swear a little, and then send for a wiser man,

while the other, when the engine stops, will sit still a while, and, as the physician asks questions of his patient when diagnosing a case, will talk to himself, as: "Have I gasoline?" "Is my battery charged?" "She

Leakage may, and very often does occur at the valve caps (C). Oil

poured around them will alBO indicate

whether there is leakage at this place

When the valve caps are replaced

after grinding the valves, new gaskets

should always be used. Smearing a

paste made of brown shellac and

graphite on the spark plugs, as the

shellac is liable to make the unscrew

lng of the plugs difficult and should the plugs hold tighter In the valve

caps that the valve caps hold In the cylinder, you will not be able to take out a plug without taking the cap out

also, so that the replacing of a defec

tive plug may prove a difficult task.

The next place to look for leakage

is at (D), the valve. There are

number of things which might be the cause of leakage here: Namely, the

valves may have become burned, or as it is termed, pitted, and so need regrinding; the valve head may have warped; the valve stem may have stuck in its guide; the valve spring

may have broken .or the adjusting nuts (E) may bo too high bo that the valve is not seating properly. - Your Judgment will tell you whether or not the valves need to be reground, as this should be done aboue every 1,000 miles, and thef act that they need the regrinding will be indicated to you by the gradual loss of power. The fact that the valve head has warped (unusual in the later model cars), can

means that you are not getting all of the nower out of your fuel.

The next place where leakage is lia- i

ble to occur Is at (E) the piston rings. This may be due to a broken ring,

worn rings, the rings sticking because of carbon or gummed oil getting be

tween them and their, grooves, a

scored that Is, scratched cylinder,

due to the engine becoming over

heated for lrrk of oil or water, or to

the slots of the rings getting in line. When the pistons are put Into the cyl

inders care must be taken to have the

slots of the rings getting m line. When the pistons are put into the cylinders care must be taken to have the slots in the rings spaced equal dis

tances apart. "Where the rings are1 broken or worn they must be replaced It is a good practice to pour about a half a cupful of kerosene into each cylinder about once a week, and it is best to do this while the engine is warm after completing a run. This will tend to prevent the rings from sticking in the grooves. If the cylinders have been scored you will have to have them rebored and new rings ond pistons fitted. A bad leak at the piston ring will general indicate itself by a hissing sound in the engine when climbing a hill. You can tell whether or not your

engine has lost compression by crank

ing It slowly and noticing how much you must pull on the crank handle. To tell if there is loss of compression in one cylinder open all the compression cocks but one and feel the compression in the cylinder having the closed compression cock.

Please notice that, there is no one place through which the compression can leak from all four cylinders, the places of leakage being separate for each cylinder. For this reason should your engine be running well and then suddenly stop, you instantly can eliminate loss of compression as a possible cause. "When, however, the trouble is one of missing, lack of power and sometimes failure to start, the cause may be the loss of compression.

A letter from Winsor B. Harris, son of B. H. Harris, Richmond attorney, was received by the Y. M. C. A. this week in receipt of a "Y" membership card. Harris is still stationed in the U. S. Naval port office at St. Nazaire, France. He writes that the "Y" card mailed on November 13, had just been

received the day before (April 12) by

him.

Mrs. W. E. Russell of 1518 North C street received a message on Friday stating that her son, Bertram B. Russell, had arrived safely in the states.

Announcement was made Saturday that Stewart J. Beebe, vice president and general manager of the Beebe Glove company, had let the contract for a modern home to be builded at the southwest corner of South Six

To help you be the latter type of trouble-hunter, I am going to tell you of all the things which might go wrong; the reason therefor; show you how by a process of reasoning you

can eliminate certain of these things

as not the one which has caused your; trouble, thus limiting the things you ; must look for to a few, and the steps . to take to further eliminate the possi-, ble causes of the trouble until the ' right one (or, rather, wrong one) is' found. In a previous lesson I told you that there were three things essential for; the proper running of the engine; j namely, proper compression, proper j mixture and proper ignition. j Let us take these three esentials up j one after the other and see how and why they fail. I

Compression Leakage. The illustration shows the various places through which the compressed gas might escape. The spark plug may leak at (A), the nut which holds the porcelain into the metal part; this leakage generally being accompanied by a hissing sound. The remedy for this is to tighten this nut, and this failing to remedy the trouble, it would probably be wise to replace the plug. There may be leakage between the plug and the cylinder or valve cap, at

the place where the plug is screwed;

in. as B. The remedy is to screw the plug in farther, or it may be necessary to put a now gasket (that is a packing washer) under it. Leakage here may be discovered by pouring a little oil around the plug. If the oil bubbles there is leakage, and the amount of leakage can be judged by the degree of bubbling. When replacing a spark plug it is a good practice to make a paste of some flake graphite and linseed oil (or if you have no linseed oil, cylinder oil), and to smear this on the threads of the plug- This will not only help to make the plug tight, but will prevent the plug and the metal of the cylinder from fusing together, due to the heat, so that the plug cannot be taken out again. The compression cocks may also leak. This may be at the threads, as with the spark plug; at the valve; or the stem may be broken, especially if it be one of the long stem type. The test for leakage is the oil as given for the plug. I might say that the stems of the compression cocks do often break, and cause a great leakage, and

only be determined by taking the valves out. You will be able to see the broken spring, or sticking valves, and you can tell if the adjusting nuts are too high by feeling of them. They should have clearance of about the thickness of a piece of paper, and, by raising the nut with your fingers.

FOES OF HORSE THIEF WILL PROTECT AUTOS

The "Wayne County Horse Thief and Protective association added about 200 members at its special meeting held at Webster Friday night, two months before the regular yearly meeting in September. Another meeting will be held at the same town Friday evening, June 20. About 1,000 men from all over the

county were present. The meeting

decided to protect members from the theft of all property instead of horses only, and will take special steps when automobiles are stolen. All members are notified following a theft, and a search is made. If the stolen property cannot be recovered,

the member who loses it is paid twothirds of It3 value by the organization.

Yearly dues of $ 1.00 and an entrance

must search for thieves and appear in court against them. Officers of the association are:

Arthur Palmer, president; Walter! Beeson, secretary, and Clarence Pal-

mer, captain.

United States army officers are paid accordig to the rank held by them. A second lieutenant receives $11.67 initial pay a month; first lieutenant. $166.67; captain. $200; major, $250; lieutenant-colonel. $291.67; colonel, $333.33, with an increase of 10 per cent.
