Accepted at Con- tinental service stations and by dealers generally, CONOCO She Balanced Gasoline NII What Causes the Clink, Clink, Clink and How to Prevent It - A knock in an engine always means trouble but it is often difficult to say just what kind of tgouble it is. When an engine is in good condition it runs with a smooth purring sound. ‘The experienced driver notices at once any unusual sound in his engine and can tell with fair accuracy just what is causing it. Any noise in the engine should be investigated without delay, otherwise res pail that might be a comparatively simple repair or adjustment, if caught in time, may develop into a very expensive overhauling job if neglected. It is a good idea to learn the meaning of the various kinds of knocks or noises that occur in an engine. x Probably the most common kind of knock is a “carbon” knock which causes the engine to CLINK, CLINK, CLINK when it is pulling hard and the ignition is advanced. and is noticed particularly after it is warmed up. This knock is caused by an excessive amount of carbon deposit in the cylinders. When the gasoline mixture is taken into the cylinders of a clean engine it is not excessively heated before the spark occurs at the points of the plugs, so that the flame spreads through the mixture gradually, reaching its maximum power when the piston is exactly at the top of its stroke, in a flash or detonates like a charge of dynamite instead of burning slowly and evenly. This means that if the ignition is at the usual running position, the maximum power or pressure of the explosion will occur before the piston reaches the top of its stroke, and you hear a metallic CLINK, CLINK, CLINK as soon as the engine begins to Pa hard. You notice that as soon as you retard the ignition the nocking stops. The reason for this is that the spark now occurs just as the piston reaches the top of its stroke instead of some little timé before. As you probably know, when an engine is in good condition, the spark is set to occur at a point that fires the mixture BEFORE the piston reaches the top of its stroke. This allows the flame to spread through the mixture which reaches fts maximum power just as the piston reaches the top of its stroke. Carbon deposit is caused in a number of ways.

If your carburetor is adjusted so that there is too much gasoline in the mixture, the unburned carbon is deposited on the tops of the cylinders and pistons and yery soon you have a heavy deposit on them, To prevent carbon deposit, use the right grade of oj! and keep it at the correct level in the crankcase, adjust your carburetor to deliver a clean burning lean mixture and avoid excessive use of the choke. There are a number of mixtures sold that claim to prevent carbon deposit forming. The majority of these are simply a mixture of three parts of kerosene to one,of alcohol. To be of any use, the mixture must be used regularly in small quantities. Use it about twice a week just after you come in from a run and while the engine is warm. Squirt about two teaspoonfuls into each cylinder and let it soak in al! night. When the engine is started in’ the morning the softened carbon will be blown out through the muffler. It is a good idea to open the muffler cut-out if you ne one fitted to prevent the carbon blocking up the muffler. ~ Have You Tried “The Little Store Around the Corner?” FOR GENUINE FORD PARTS AND ACCESSORIES FOR ALL CARS Our Rental Service—Good as Ever RENT AVNE W:( AR | ‘ DRIVE 60 ANYWHERE ANTIME| MILLER TIRES McKONE TIRES 106 SOUTH DURBIN OPEN EVENINGS $16.80 $16.80 SPECIAL BATTERY SALE A 18-plate 6-volt battery rubber box built by the Prest-o-Lite Battery Co., Inc.

Why? ‘It should always be remembered that the United States is essentially an agricultural country and that when the agricultural population of the country {s prosperous it is safe to asrume that most of the country is equally prosperous. That is trne because the farm population of the nation constitutes a major market for all manufaetured product. “Most cities are behind in their building programs.
