The Automobile Simplified By FREDERICK C. GUERRLICH, M. E. Make This Your Automobile Correspondence School AN intimate talk on the worklnj units of the automobile diseased In such a war 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. Ouerllflh about it. An answer will be published on the completion of the articles on the section of the automobile under discussion. Copyrighted. 11T, By Frederick C Guarrllch.
PREMIUM LIST FOR HAGERSTOWN FAIR
It your engine misses, find out why and correct the fault immediately. Running a car with a raising engine means a very severe strain on all the part of it When the engine misses the first thing to do is to find out which cylinder is missing. This can best be done by making the cylinders miss one after the other, by short-circuiting the spark plugs. Thus. If you were to sfcort-circuit the spark plug of cylinder No. 1. you would prevent the spark and if the cylinder was not missing before it will now miss, and the missing of the engine will be doubled. On the other hand, if No. 1 cylinder was missing, you could not make it miss, and there will be no change In the running of the engine. So if you short circuit the plugs one after the other you will finally come to one, which, when short-circuited; will not cause the engine to run differently than before. This is the missing cylinder. The illustration shows how to short-circuit the plugs. By touching a screw driver to the plug and the "ground" as shown, the current will go through the screw driver and not V through the plug, and so there will - not be a spark. Of the Three Essentials, Ignition or Compression are generally the cause of missing.
I told you that a fault in the Pri
mary circuit is liable to be the cause
of an engine suddenly stopping, and
Justments were right yesterday, they
will be right today, unless they have been tampered with. Unless you feel sure that the adjustments are wrong do not touch them. The adjustment will have to be a little different in the winter than in the summer and on a mountain, than in a valley. Water in the gasoline will cause a missing, but this missing will be accompanied by loss and regaining of power in such a way as to be quickly recognizable. Sometimes a regular miss will occur when "false air" gets into the mixture as it enters one cylinder because of a leak in the manifold or the gasket between the manifold and cylinder. , While with most systems, a regular miss is practically never due to a fault in the promary, with the fourunit system as used on the Ford cars, the fault is very liable to be in the primary, as with this system, there is
a coil for each cylinder and a wire for
each coil. To see if the wiring is at fault, take the primary wire of the missing cylinder off the timer or commutator and touch It to the ground. If the coil vibrates everything is O. K. Should the coil fail to vibrate, change the coil around with another coil, and see if the new coll will vibrate. If it does, the former coil was at fault, probably in the adjustment of the vibrator points. If the new coll does not vibrate then the trouble is in the

that the secondary circuit was unlikely to be at fault. With a miss, the reverse is true, as if the primary circuit fails, it will cause a failure of the spark in all the cylinders and not in one only. What are the units in the secondary circuit? The coil, distributor and spark plugs. More than fifty per cent, of the time a miss is due to a defective spark plug. The way to proceed then when your engine misses, it to locate the cylinder which is missing, and then take the lead (wire) oft the plug and hold it a short distance from the betal of
the engine. If you get a spark, take out the plug and either replace or thoroughly clean it and reset the , points and see if the miss disappears. If the miss does not disappear then you must expect that loss of compression is the cause. Short Circuit is Cause. If you do not get a spark when you test the lead, the trouble Is probably due to the lead being short-circuited.
In most of cars, these leads, for neat-1
sess sake, are carried in a shield or casing, and. due to the vibration of the car, the insulation often is worn off where the lead enters or leaves this casing. An examination will show this. A loose primary wire, pitted or improperly set, interrupter points will often cause a miss, but the miss will generally be irregular; that is, first in one cylinder then in another, or perhaps every four or five revolutions. Ignition being O. K., we must expect loss of compression to be the trouble. To see if you have loss of compression to any extent in the missing cylinder, open all of the compression cocks, and then close one on one of the hitting cylinders. If you will then slowly crank the engine you will be able to compare the compression
in it to that of the former cylinder. Having determined that compresision is at fault, -first thest the valve caps and sparkplugs by pouring oil , about them and watch for the bubfiling, as explained before. Next see i the valve adjusting nut is not up too tight, as it may have worked up. Next see that the valve is not sticking and that the valve spring is not broken. This failing to show a fault, the valves need grinding, or the piston rings are leaking. As a rule, you will know Whether or not the valves need to be ground, as this must be done in the neighborhood of every 1,000 miles of running. When the piston rings of one cylinder leak, you will bear a sort of muffled hissing sound when climbing a hill. A bad mixture will cause a miss, but the miss is generally an irregular one. The adjustment of the carburetor is liable to be the cause, but if your al-
wire. Ninety per cent, of the time loss of power is due to the fact that the valves need to be ground. Valves should be ground in the neighborhood of every 1,000 miles of running. It will pay to do this, as loss of compression means los sof power, and loss of power means loss of mileage per gallon of gasoline. A poorly-adjusted carburetor will cause a loss of power. It would be well for owners, unless they understand how to adjust their carburetor, to run their cars to the service station of the maker and have their expert adjust it for them. It will take him a moment or two. When an engine is cold, it will not develop full power, it will often miss and, ingeneral, not run right. Before doing any adjusting always warm up the egine.

Founder Of Locomotive Brotherhood Is Dead
fBy Associated Press DENVER, June 28. John A. Leach, 76 years old, of Sedalia, Mo., who in 1873 founded the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen at Port Jedvis, N. Y., died Thursday night of pleurisy. Mr. Leach had come here to attend the triennial convention of the brotherhood, resolved to maintain his record of having attended every convention of the organization. At the first meeting at which eleven men were present, Leach was elected grand master and Hornell, N. Y., was elected as the first convention city of the organization. After many years service with the Missouri" Pacific railway Mr. Leach retired several years ago and had lived in Sedalia since that time. His home was a gift of the brotherhood.
