V. Kenworthy, president of the Stewart Automobile school, “and they sometimes add, ‘What care does it need and to what troubles is it sub- ject?’ “The purpose of the muffler is to di- minish the noise of the exhaust. The gas escapes from the exhaust valve at high pressure and strikes the car with disagreeable force unless it is silenced. It is necessary to reduce the pressure from each explosion and to allow the gas to escape so that a great deal of its force ts dissipated and its disjointed nature completely changed. The gas then passes out quietly with only a slight pulsation or throbbing. Method Simple. “The methods by which this ts brought about are very simple. A gas passing along an ordinary pipe would be slowed down and spread out. But this arrangement would require too long a pipe. So baffle plates are used to make the gas turn corners and force its way through small holes in the plates. In some mufllers the gas en- ters an expansion chamber. All this time. it Is losing heat and so contract- ing; thus it slows down more and more? “The care of a mufller is to leave f# alone until it becomes clogged. It does its work without any attention and requires nothing from the driver, The only time we think of it is when we wish to find out if the engine is missing explosions. Then we cut out the muffler’ and listen to the sound o: the exhaust. \ | Beware Soot. { “About the only trouble to which the muffler is subject is that it becomes clogged with soot. This may be caused by too rich a mixture from the carbu- retor, indicated by blac the exhaust. Or, it may be caused by oil working up on top of the pistons, giving the bluish-white smoke char- acteristic of too much lubricant. An- other cause is where the carbon has ed loose from the eylinders, but allowed to fall on the piston. Thi is carried into the mutiler and so helps to clog. “It is easy to tell if the muffler ts clogged where theré is a cut-out. Run the machine up a fa steep hill, If the car speeds up with the cut-out open it shows that the muffler is clogged. A well,designed — silencer should not cut down the power of the engine more than 3 percent. This dif- ference will hardly be noticeable on an ordinary hill, So the fact that the car slows down would indicate back pres- sure due to clogging.” aon The first biennial report of the state drainage and flood control engi- neer is just off the state press. Those who have followed with keen interest the work of preparing plans for con- trol of floods in the Red river valley will want this report of Engineer Hard and recommendations of the commis- sion, consisting of Alessrs Sorlie. Hard and Streeter. This commission was established by the 1917 legislature and authorized to. devise plans and projects to prevent floods in the yalley and to report at the 1919 session® The report ‘is short and to the pgint, consisting of 65 pages with profuse illustrations, prov- ing beyond argument thé conditions ‘of the floods of 1915-17 and of other disastrous years and offering the first icomprehensive, practical valley-wide plan for a solution of the trouble. i As the main features and proj proposed are concurred in by federal engineers of several departments, in- cluding war and interior, the repo carrier additional weight. _Some te ures are new, originating with the commission, while others naturally are old, having been long considered as probably applicable.

ADJUSTMENT OF CARBURETOR | Mistake Made by Many Car Owners in Performing Task While the Engine Is Cold. | ae 1 A great many car owners make the | mistake of adjusting the e¢arburetor | When the engine is cold. Now it is always best to make adjustments to the. motor after it has been run long | enough to get thoroughly warmed through, and this applies equally to the valve tappets, ete, It is quite probable that the cold motor may operate very well on certain. adjustments that will not agree at all with the hot engine. | SPREAD LEAVES OF SPRINGS Paraffin and Graphite Mixture Is One| of’ Most Satisfactory Compounds —Mix Thoroughly.

In the survey; which continued through two field seasons, as extend- ed work was done as the funds avail- able would permit, careful: measyre- ments were taken on the principal North Dakota tributaries, in Red val- Jey proper and about Lake Traverse. The plan of ‘projects proposed con- sists of (1) a series of impounding dams to be constructed at the outlets of several Minnesota lakes, as Red Lake, Ottertail and’ Traverse, and in the gorges of the ‘North Dakotg riv- ers; (2) a canal to give definite chan- nel to the Bois de Sioux slough or river fro mthe proposed site of dam at White Rock, S.

Interesting reference is made to the possible -uses of’ any’ possible reser- voirs in the way of sources of town water and ice supply; as breeding places for fish; for boating and park purposes; to supply water for limited irrigation and power. While it is, of course, recognized that the “flashy” North Dakota stream can produce little water power, yet it is a matter of local interest that there are several sites for small dams (unrelated to flood control), which can be built, as the Bemmels dam at Lis- bon, to produce in the aggregate at least $25,000 worth of water power annually. The. construction of large flood control reservoirs will extend the usefulness these little power dams through most of the open season.
