Notes to each of the eight chap- ters, coupled with ering the complete rent roll of Vi ginfa for the year 1704, speak for t authoritative ‘character of the study. The immediate effect of the book is not only to cast a doubt upon a cher- ished theory, but to overthrow the theory completely. In Virginla, about every ninety out of the hundred, lays claim to a lineage running back to original planters and substantial property holders, a lineage that hints of high sources across the water. This book demonstrates the impossibility of background for such claim. In de- tall it covers the period from the date of scttlement to the rise and growth of negro labor in the colony.

And the characters make up in inadi- vidualty and vividness for any lack in the action ftsclf. With these characters Mr. Hichens gets down to| veal work. The Lady Adela is his chief triumph. And next to her is Dick Garstin, minor in the action, but certainly major in the excellence of himself as an artist and a lawless child of genius.

And, in hie story of Henry Ford he appears to have hit upon a theme after his own heart, one in which he can, literally, let himself go. And he does. One ad- mits willingly, the story having been read, that here is a remarkable per- sonality, here is an amazing example of business success. From farm boy to world magnate—it i6, 6tep by step, all set down in a passion of praise and advocacy. An enthralling story, truly, that one reads in an absorption of ‘interest. 'The facts of Henry Ford’s life are very much to the front just now. Indeed, at present every day appears to be press day for this phenomenal man. Therefore, it is not necessary to go over the facts as Mr. Miller dwells upon them. The ardent spirit of tbe biographer is an out. standing feature of the book. This story finished, one wonders if this is not, after ali, the perfect man, the super-man himself. That would be calamitous for the man, if it were true.

Bo, we can lend at least one ear to the plaint of the people who are full-time pedestrians. Of course, these chaps don’t feel any too kindly toward the automobile and its driver. Tt Is these people out of luck who place the lion's share of blame for accidents upon the motorist. Now you and 1 who have & car license, a driver's llcense— and thus quality for a marriage 1i- cense—are {nclined to place the blame for accidents upon the pe- | destrians. Well, to be fair to one and all, we must acknowledge that the blame probably is a fifty- fitty proposition. Taking this at- titude, then both the motorigt and the pedestrian must do his share in preventing accidents. This s & “safety-first” suggestion that ought to help reduce the bowling over of pedestrians on the streets as well as on the alleys. Just to cheer us all, newspaper humorists joke and jibe about the pedestrian in a good natured way and “Topics of the Day” films screens some of the best specimens for theater audiences.

WASHINGTON, { THE OWNER-DRIVER'S COLUMN BY L. G. HEYMPEL, - Macdonald College, P. Q. Cansda. ‘What an Overhaml ould De to a» Engine, Apart from the general cleaning to which the engine should be treated during an overhaul, there are two things which should be uppermost in the mind of the man performing the job. They are, first, to give the en- gine maximum compression—and sec- ondly, to take up all play present in moving parts. The man who would do his own overhauling shou!ld, befors pulling is engine out of the car, acquaint himself with its condition regarding the above polnts. No one knows bet- ter than the driver of the car whether or not the engine is delivering its full power, whether or not there are any weak cylinders or whether there are any cylinders pumping oil. He also knows what there 18 to be looked for in the way of slapping pistons, loose bearings or any other loose- nesses which cause knocks and rat- tes. If he has & mechanical bent he will huve made up his mind as to the approximate location of all nolses which may exist in his engine, and his plan of action when he gets to work will be ;'-‘ulfled largely by this knowledge of the machine’s condition. Compression Life of Engine. Poor compression .means loss of power and {s directly or indirectly responsible for most engine troubles. Poor compression means that the pistons, plston rings and valves do not meke a fnl tight joint. By turn- ing the engine over slowly with the hand crank the weak cylinders, if| any, can be detected. After the cylinder head has been removed, the valves should be re- moved, marked and examined. The condition of the valve seat will be a gulde as to the source of compression losses. If the valves of any weak cylinder show a poor contact line at the seat, it is likely that grinding them will improve the compression considerably. H 17, however, a certain weak cylinder was affiicted with oll pumping, then the piston and rings must be re- garded with suspicion. The engin should be turned bottom up on the working platform. or low bench, the jcrank case {s now removed and the amount of clearance between the piston and cylinder wall can now be measured up. To do th!s & thick- ness gauge s used. The correct clearance between the outside of piston and the cylinder wall should be about .001 inch. or one-one thou- sandth of an imch for each inch of piston diameter. Thus, for a three- inch cylinder the poston should have @ clearance of .003 inch, or three-! one thousandths of an inch _thick 1a teeler or thickness gauge three- onethousandths of an inch thick should fit neatly between the piston and cylinder wall. These measur ments are always taken at the bo tom end of the piston and cylinder, because the upper end of the plston is always smaller than the open end or skirt. This is necessary to pro- vide for expansion of the head when { running. | 1f when these measurements a taken the play present is found to be .006 inch, or six-one thousandths of inch or more, it is ltkely that some of the loss of compression s due to |too small a piston, though we have seen numerous cylinders with more clearance than this and still have g00d compression. These measure- ments will decide for the repairman whether or not oversize pistons need | be installed. 1f needed, these should be listed on the order for new parts. The socket wrenches are now put| into use on the connecting rod bear- ing bolts and the pistons removed from the engine. Care must be taken | |to mark the connecting rod bearing | | caps carefully to prevent mixing or: | reversing of these parts. The shima, | or levers. should be kept separate for | cach side of each bearing. This will| save much future trouble. H Removing Piston Rings. { The condition of the piston rings{ cannot be ascertained before tWe pis- iton has been removed from the cylin- der. They should be examined for cylinder fit. Dark spots on the out- side of them indicate a poor fit. They should be compared with a new ing, because they may be worn thin, in which case new rings need to be fitted. It the rings lack spring, they should be discarded and new ones fitted. To remove piston rings, several pleces of eheet iron one-half by thres inches are of great assistance. The| ring is raised out of the groove and 2 plece of sheet metal inserted under ' it. This plece is slid around the piston and others inserted, one on each side of the gap, 8o us to raiee the ring clear of the groove, When it may be slid off. Care must be taken not to spring rings too far or they will break.
