W- H- L- Writes- My engine smokes

Answer: When pistons and rings

This effect is Very slow and we doubt whothor a bad case of smoking would no much i‘iiliBV0d by tho uso of graphite, hn- medintoly at least, for it is probable |that tho rings are not even approxi- mately well fitted. lf graphite is to be used, the defloccuiatcd variety, which is permanently suspended, in .nn cxtromcly minute form, in oil, is bottcr than thc ordinary kind. Wo lwondcr if you aro using a high fire- tost ol-l, wllcthcr the pistons are as iitiilfiy tight as they can readily be ,mttdo and whether -there is anything about your lubricating system that causes too much oil to collect in thc roar crunk-case compartment, when ,tho car is headed up hill.

WHY EXHAUST VALVES NEED
' FREQUENT GRINDING
L. S. 8. asks: Why .do ox-hnust
vulves require grinding so much of- tonar than the i-niet? J find this to 'bu thc case with my engine.
Answer: Th0`oxhaust valves have
to withstand the effects of flaming gases, passing between their faces und seats, every tlmc they open and this intense heat produces la scaling of t-ho valve metal, which soon ron- dcrs the exposed surfaces rough and loaky. When -an exhaust valve once _ loses its -tightness, high temperature gases begin to escape past it a soon
‘ns explosion occurs and the oxidizing and scaling effects are thus protract- ed and intensified. . ,On the other hand, the inlet valves have to pass 'only the relatively cool gases from
thc carburetor antfl.-their faces and seats are not swcp by flame so long as they are not leaky. '
Questions of general intcrost to
‘motorists will be answcrod in this icolumn, space permitting. Address 'Albert L, Clough, care of this ofilce.
WHEN THE ENGINE WON’T START

Failure of nn engine to start when
it is turned over briskly by the cranking motor or by hand, is practically always because an explos- slvd mixture is not prcscnt -in 'thc cylinders ‘or because nn adequate spark docs not -take place at thc plug points. Assuming that thc ignition switch is in the opposition un-.1 that tllerc is plenty of fuol .in thc tank,thc difficulty usually arises from one or more of -thd following causes: Fail- urc of the fuol to reach thc carburet- or, as shown by no escape of gasoline whcn thc cnrburctor bowl draw off cock is opened. This may be duo to the gasoline piping or one of the screens being clogged with sediment (for ice in winter), to the failure of of the vacuum tank to opcratc, or to ‘thc vent hole in the mn-in tank hav- 'lng become closcd.

H. B. 8. writes: ._ One cylinder of
my engine is weak und fails to fire at slow speeds, apparently because it lacks compression. When I idle the cngiue, with thc pct-cocks open, the wcak cylinder makes only a slight hiss, when its flaring time comes. l suppose that now rings oro needed. How about this? Do you think the valve-rods uccd adjustment?
Answer: Faulty ring action is the
cause of low compression, if thc valves arc all right. llc suro that thc valves nro properly ground, that their action is froo, so that they cannot -possibly hold open and ill-at tho push-rods arc adjusted with sultr- ciont clcnrancc to permit their scat- lng fully whcn they should bo closed, lf tiloro is nothing wrong about thc vnlvcs, it must be conclud- ed that the piston is not tight in its cyliudcr which may be duo to thc rings having worn, having stuck in their groovcs, having lost their clus- tlclty or broken or to th c cylinder' wall huviug become scored by s misplaccmont of the wrist-pin Jr by failure of lubrication. ln cuso you find that a leaky piston causes this loss of compression you may as well remove it and ascertain the cuusc. it tho rings ure not worn bright all around, they are not acting properly.

reason that thc generator of my car falls to generate? 'lt gives no cur- rcnt, even when thc, engine runs fast, for I have hitched a :lamp di- rectly to lt und lt will not light?
Answer: .. lf the brushes do not

and the generator will remain inac- tive. In case the connections from tho brush holders to the field-coll windings are not tight or thc fuse, which is sometimes included in the lieid circuit as a safety device has burned out. tho generator will not “bulld up." it is possible f0l' il field winding to burn out, through tho gener£ttor’s having been operated without any load. An accidental con- nection of the live brush or terminal of tho generator to a gi‘0iHld€d Puri ofthe cnr may produce a “dead short-circuit," which will prevent the fields getting current, to maganizc them.

Sunday School Lesson

(Topic for Aug 31.( ..Every man that striveth In the games exerciaeth-self control in all things-I. Cor. 9.25.
It was the policy of tho kings of
Babylon to tal-to the best among the youths of a captured or subjugated nation and train them for spcolul state services, Among the` Hebrew youths who were taken captive to Babylon. after the fall of Samaria, Daniel ant his three friends wore selected to be trained for high offices. Everything was done to make thcm forgot their land, they wcro givcu new names, and were taught all thc learning of the Ch- aldeans.
Tile scene of our lesson is the royal
palace at Babylon, when this city on the banks of the Euphrates was ut thc height of its g_lory under Ncbucliad- nezznr. Do you know that tho actual temple of thatgrcat monarch has been unearthed in our day, and that men living in this twentieth century after Christ can walk upon tho vory psve. ment on which Daniel walked in- the seventh ccn‘.ur_v before Clirist? lt has been covered all that-_~ écntuiics by the alluvial soil which the floods from the rlvcr novo thrown upon it. smut fifty foot in depth in places. Each brick found there is stamped with Nebuch- -.\dnezznr's name and royal titles ln cunciform script, Daniel was a lich- row youth. I-low did hc chance to be in Babylon?
In thc Second Book of liiaccabccs
\ve are told that on the king’s birth- day Jews "were constrained by bit- ter constrnint to out of the sacrifices,” and that one of tho great scribes, Eleazor by name, choso rather to be tortured to death, "‘leuving his death for nn example of noble courage, and a memorial of value, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation." Next we near in that book of sovon famous brothers land their mother who preferred death to eating swine’s flesh. In Old Testament times it was held to be n sin to cat swlne's flesh (and is so regarded to this day by strict Jews.) or meat which had been offerod to idols.,
Daniel and his companions in the
court of the great Nebuchadnezzar were ordered to cat tho king‘s dain- tios-whicu might have boon previous- ly'_offorcd ln sacrifice to idols, or might have boon the flesh of animals held to be uncloan by the Jews, or might not have been prepared nc- cordihg to Jewish laws--und to drink the king's wlno. which also might have been offcrod in sacrifice to idols, Although they believed that to par- take of this food and drink was sin- ful, these youths might have reasoned that in that foreign court they must do as they were bid, that it would bo useless to refuse, and that they could only yield to the inevitablc! But they remained firm to their convictions. Had they yielded i.n the matter of eating moat sacrificed to idols they believed they would have been rc- nouncing Jehovah their God for thc false gods of Babylon. and they remai- ned true to their convictions of right.
The result of the experiment was no

Daniel is thought to have been four-
teen years old when he mado his firm resolve that he would be faithful to his principles and loyal to God, that he would make himself strong in body and mind. His self-mastery in youth was tho keynote of his masterful after life. The time to learn .self-control is in childhood and youth, How many of the world‘s failures learn this when it is too late! Boys and girls cannot begin too soon to practice self-control.

300,000 who drive Maxwells of this very model will tell you that reliability plus, ability to endure, ability to stand the gaff of any going, is built into the Maxwell.
7 Reduced to a single word its story is--reliability.
- But now this great car becomes even greater by five im-
- portant improvements:
l. Hot Spot and Ram's-horn, which make the car run smoother,
eteadier, and with Iese wear. and give greater mileage. l
2. improved electrical unit, which cuts down battery wear.
3. New type radiator, which makes the car more pleasing to the eye.
4. New upholstery and seat springs, which produce a better _riding
quality.
' A 5. A new top fabric, making the top more durable (tops so/often are
_ the first things to go in a car).
An important sum of money has been expended to make
it a greater Maxwell. Yet the price is only $l395. f.o.b. Windsor.
' Thus if you were hunting for nothing more than a bargain in a car you would not go further; but consider how superior a car you're getting when you buy a Maxwell. -
