Motoring Department, The Globe— | What is the advantageé of the float- | ing avle over the semi-floating? And it is not a fact that the semi-floating does not require any more repairs than the full floating, and will wear | as long? CURIOUS. In the full floating type axle the transverse drive shafts and differ- ential may be removed for repairs without disturbing the wheels or tak- ing the axle housing apart. In this case the bearings are in the - wheel hub, and the shafts simply do the In the semi-floating type axle the wheels are keyed to the transverse shafts, which support the weight of the car as well as do the driving. To dis-assemble and repair this type is more difficult. It is reasonable to be- type re- quires less attention. Motoring Department, The Herald— I would like to know something about the properties of gasoline as a lubri- cant. Would a large size bearing which I constantly bathed in gasoline, revolving at a speed not over sixty or seventy revolutions per minute, with a light load, be likely to heat up if no lubricant other than gasoline was used?—A. N. W. | High grade gasoline has no lubri- cating qualities. In other words it has no viscosity. The function of a lubricant is to separate metal sur- faces ‘and prevent friction, which produces heat. 'High grade gasoline is very, volatile, and evaporates read- ily, leaving no residue. The lower grades of gasoline contain more or less crude oil, and possibly you have in mind the use of the lower grades. Motoring Department, The Herald— How does horsepoyer, as applied in mechanics, compare with the horse- power of a horse?—John Houston. The rate at which an engine does work is often measured in units called a horsenower, one.horsepower being work done to the extent of 33,000 foot pounds per minute, supposed to represent the maximum rate at which work ‘could be done. by a horse. ‘Work done by an engine may mean either of two things, namely, the tota] work done by the engine, or the ef- fective work done by the engine.

Powers, Since you have a new car it is safe to ‘assume that the lubricating sys- |tem is in some manner disarranged. ‘From what you have stated it is quite evident that the smoking is due .to too 'much oil. Would suggest that you communicate .with the dealer of this car and .seek his advice as to the grade of lubricant to use.

If you uncouple the A brake band holding the magneto to the base you can readily set this magneto aside in order to get at the valve adjustment. In order to properly adjust the valve tappet rods it will be necessary for you to crank the motor over. In do- ing this the coupling will be dis- turbed as to position and if you are not careful in noting the correct posi- tion the ignition timing will be dis- arranged. Would suggest that you place the piston of No. 1 cylinder at the top center of compression and then chalk mark the fly wheel and also mark the coupling. have finished adjusting the valve tap- pets you may then easily come back to the old position and reset the magneto according to the marks. by doing this the ignition timing will not be disarranged. .o Motoring Department, The Herald —I have a two-cylinder 1910 car which I did not run during the winter.

What a low tension and a is the difference between high tension 3 2. The difference between jump 3. Does the piston travel the same second quarter? why ?—John T. Dennis. The low tension magneto has only a primary winding on the armature and generates a low voltage current. This curreng for jump spark ignition purposes must be led to a transform- er or induction coil and there stepped up to a high tension current. The high tension magneto has a primary winding and also. a secon- 1t is pro- duced is of high voltage. In this case it is not necessary \o use a trans- former or induction coil. In jump spark ignition the current is required to jump a gap and.in or- of 1f not, nature. In the make and break ig- nition the high tension current is not necessary. The electrodes are me- chanically operated and when they make contact the electrical circuit is losed and when they separate the ircuit is broken. Upon the separat- drawn the chanical action, an arc fis across the break constituting spark for ignition purposes. The piston travels a greater dis- tance in the second quarter than it does in the first quarter of the stroke. This is due to the construc- tion of the crank shaft. When the crank pin of the shaft travels from degrees beyond, the piston ‘drops very little. The crank pin in travel- ling through thej next forty-five de- a much greater distance.

There are numerous oth- er incidental expenses which are items to be considered. As stated previously, it is not possible to state the actual cost of maintaining such a car, due to the fact that there are S0 many unknown quantities. For instance, you may be a fast driver.

MATHEWSON STILL “GRAND OLD MAN" Giants- Aimost Hitless But ~Christy Fulls ’Em Threugh. New Orleans, April 7.—For a period of two weeks the Giants have been enjoying good batting along with their victories. A slender Pelican named Red Styles put a deep crimp in their batting yesterday, vet they drubbed Red and the other Policans easily, 1t was a shut out, the Giants winning 5 to 0. Although a hit by Bescher, which with less awkward fielding would | have been caught, and a couple of two baggers by George Burns, neither of which was of any value in produc- | ing runs, were all the hits the Giants made, the effectiveness of Styles was largely self-destroyed. His bases on balls were costly, his support leaked and the Giants did much to confuse | the enemy with their base running. They turned their base running to santly with a shrivelled of base hits. Mr. Styles had no monopoly in creating a famine of base hits. Mathewson, while Styles was bearing the New York market, was completely disarming the Crescent City standard bearers. Matty pitched a heaatiful game, one of his old master kind. The Pelicans swung at his slow one before it got up there and swung at his fast| one too late, and sometimés didn't swing at it all because the ball broke over the plate unexpectedly. To pitch a perfect game a pitcher would have to pitch a no hit game, but for all practical purposes Matty's pitching was perfect. A contributory His teammates were not in the back- ground in the shutout. They were very positive assistants. They backed up the good pitching of the aged Christy with rocklike steadiness and considerably more agility than that comparison'conveys.

Scranton, Pa., April 7.—There were sighs and amens for “Rube” Wad- dell and cheers for Eddie Plank at the tabernacle Sunday night when the Rev. “Billy” Sunday, toward the close of his sermon on “Your Sins Will Find You Out,” drew a graphic parallel between the careers of Wad- dell and “Bugs” Raymond, both dead and Christy Mathewson and Eddie Plank, four great figures in baseball in the last decade. Billy’s reference to ‘‘Rube” particularly effective. He said. “I was reading the papérs the other day of the passing of ‘Rube’ Waddell, whose life was snuffed out. Think of it, only 37 and gone. I tell you, you can't beat the booze game. You have to pay the freight. The old ‘Rube’ was one of the brightest and brain- iest men in baseball, but he is-gone; struck out at 37, a man. who was in his day possibly the greatest pitcher. 1 tell you, you can’t beat that game. “The ‘Rube,’ Matty, Plank and ‘Bugs’ Raymond started in . baseball was cat 3 o'clock and the at about the same time. All" were pitchers. Two started on the wrong road and two on the right road. Two are dead, ‘Bugs’ and ‘Rube.’ “Matty is as good as ever, the king in his line, and when he gets so he can’t put anything on the ball, he'll 80 to work training, young pitchers and get a salary that will dazzle you. “Plank, grand old man, steady and earnest, is getting along, but he can pitch a great game.

Even in the ninth inning, with none down and the bags filled, the New Yorkers did not have the necessary punch to carry away the spoils. Jim O’Neale, who tolled on the mound for the: vanquished nine, deserved better luck. He allowed only four hits, passed three men and fielded his position with the agility of a Wiltse. He had nine assists, four of which were one hand stabs at hot liners. Ambherst won the game in the sec- ond inning. Swasey singled, Wash- burn sacrificed and Swasey scored on Sicard’s single to rignt. Robinson singled to left and on Haaren's muff of the throwin Sicard scored.
