When you are using the ordinary ot piston ring, the ofl will eventually creep past the into the combustion chamber and fonis the motor and spark plugs with carbon deposits. Ol does not explode like gasolifie —it burns, and the result is the for mation of carbon in the cylinder domes, on the piston heads, spark plugs, Valve seats and behind the Pleton rings and will seon score evlnders and do other damage of equal severity. As a rule carbon eB be detected by pre-ignition troubles, knocking, loss of power, Ret enough mileage from gasoline an@ oi).

They were present in all sorts of designa, varying in nearly every degree but one. That was their low cost of upkeep. The same movement for smaller, cheaper cars is being felt in we United States. The four-cylinder Vehicle is gaining in prominence Manufacturers of sixes have taken to producing “fours” and have found it easier to sell their new line of care than the older. The urge for the smaller car came ' | | first in Europe where motoriets have had to pay a large tax on the| jamoynt of gasoline their cars con-! sumed, besides being obliged to buy | their fuel at three or four times) the ratio motorists pay here. Fuel was rationed out in pints and costs of cars were at prohibitive heights Construction of small automobiles wan soon recognized as essential by leading manufacturers on the conti nent. One of the first steps taken by their engineers was to devote their attention to construction of smalier engines which would con- sume less fuel. The 183 cubic inch engine has | | been taken off the race track and | the 122-inch power plant substituted. Jit has brought with it a lighter car, |making for less wear on tires and lower fuel consumption Ailr-propelied vehicles are almost « common sight in France. They are the product of the need for fuel economy and pettection of clutch and transmission gears. Construe tion of these cars is light and sim: ple. They are cheap to produce and their running cost is said to be leas) than that of motorcycies. ! The Rumpler drop of Ger! many is one of Germany's contribu tions to the emall car field. It ts steered from thé front, but the en-| gine and all its parts are over the | rear axle ‘The car can develop 65 miles an hour with low gasoline con- sumption, say its producers. The German, French and English | auto shows also displayed a tenden- cy to conserve in tire costs, Many | of the small shown had only three wheels. American rights some of these automobih have al j ready been sold, so that this coun try may soon see the advent of these “freakish” models | A reopnt survey of American au |tomoblie owners disclosed the fact | that the first thing moat drivers | looked for in @ car waa economy of | operation. A few years ago, it was jthe powerful car that was most | popular Both these qualities have been In |etuded tn the modern small car. The rates at Le Mans, France, | proved the high power of the small er engine, while low maintenance costs were maintained. At a recent race 6n the Brooklands track | of only 12 horsepower, ia a 200- mile endurance test, averaged over | 85 miles an hour Some of the small at London's cars to | cars exhibited | auto show recently had| lengines of from five to eight-horse- | small | a power.
