' . ™ What to Do for the Differential and Transmission When It | _ Comes Time to Overhaul Your Automobile, automobile owner thinks about overhauling his car, or of having W'":: the near approach of that time of the year when the average St overhauled, a few words regarding the treatment of the differ- ential and transmission might be appreciated by readers of this column. The casings of both the differential and transmission showld be thor-| irance wrote the following letter \o Stop the rise In rents, ‘ Gasoline ts better, as it removes the | rh» mvening World: oughly washed out with kerosene, heavy grease or o, re readily than does kerosene; but its use is inad- visable at this ti Pay particular attention to the heavy accumulations in the bottoms of the cases, for you will find, on close examination, that | these are literally filled with minute particles of steel, chips broken from the gears. After all is clean, examine all bearings for wear, and if any Is found, take it up by means of the adjustments provided for such purpose: If, in the case of ball bearings, wear is found, this can be rectified at a relatively small expense by having the bearings reground, or they can be exchanged for reground ones, Some transmissions have the counter shaft mounted on plain bearings, usually of bronze. In this case it will be necessary to instal new ones. Before doing this be certain that the end of the shaft 1s not worn. If it ig found to be worn in any degree, the new bearing must be fitted to the refinished shaft. Antomodiie Editor: Have been using half a pint of ether to five gallons of gasoline in my Ford and tho results have been very good, I find it easier to atart and “pick up” and got a far better mileage than when using cnly gaso- Jine, I do not know, however, if it Is injurious to the engine. Can you enlighten me? CHARLES ANDERSON. ‘The use of ether in gasoline, If in eorrect proportions, is of itself not dangerous, nor is it harmful In its action on the cylinder walls and pistons, It ts dangerous, howeve when too great a quantity is use and very quick and violent explo- sions occur, Which subjects the varl- ous parts of the motor to greater strains than they should be sub- fected to, Tho use of ether is, as you say, of benefit, particularly with poor fuel, but it should be used only with the greatest of care Avtomodile Editor! Please give me information how to time the spark and valve on Ford and White cars. G. D. IR You will find the timing gears 4riving the valves on both the Ford and White marks on certain teeth. By meshing up these gears so that the marks coincide with one another the valves will be correctly timed. ‘The Ford ignition ts timed a cos Turn on the motor uni 0. rate n is fust about to descend on 4y/WEpromon stroke. Adjust the re- volving piece (roton) of the commu- tation so that it just makes contact with the segment to which No. 1 wire tg fastened. The coll should then buza if the motor fs turned tho slightest fraction, This 1s done with the com- mutation retarded all the way. ‘The White, which uses @ magneto, fe timed in very much the same fash- fon. No. 1 piston is brought to the top of compression stroke, The mag- neto is set in position and turned until the distrib. tion is about to make gontact on No, 1 segment. The mag- neto is then turned a little further, with the spark retarded until the in- terrupter (breaker points) has just eeparated, It is then fastened in place. Amtomodile Baitor: May I ask if you will advise me the best way to care for pneumatic auto tires when storing them for the win- ter? The car in now stored in a cold nd will remain there until J, BE, MYERS, Store them away in a cool, dark place, with the tubes slightly inflated, enough to straighten out the wrinkles.

I put on a new car- bureter and I got the same results. Will you let me know if the engine needs new piston rings and what really 1s the trouble? ALFRED M'CARTHY. I would advise you to clean carbon out of the cylinders, grind the valves and clean water and dirt out of the earbureter and gasoline tank. Avtomodite Editor: A says that an aro fs the same as a spark, B says it {8 not. Will you please tell who {6 right through your column? M.A. R. Broadly speaking, an arc and a spark are the same thing. If one bases his understanding on the two words on common usage It is splitting hairs to say they havo different mean- ings. Both are evidenco of electrical jumping gas gap of great or small magnitude, Possibly A has reference to the claims of some magnet makers that their instrument produces an are-like flame, due to the more or less fancied belief that the sparks resem- ble the aro used for lighting purposes or for electrical furnaces. If you wouldn't differentiate from the auto- mobile point of view between the two. words, If A and B do, | would suggest they consult a dictionary. Automobile Rditor: How can I tell when my engine ts backfiring? What causes this and what 1s to be done in such a case? My car takes @ bill finely on third speed, but not at all well on first or second, Will it injure the engine to use third speed? When descending should I #hift to neutral? Can I prop- erly shift from first to third speed? When in neutral can I shift to second or third or is {t proper to always go into firet when running tn neutral? ANXIOUS, Backfires are caused usually by A weak mixture—one with too little gasoling or too much air or a cold motor will manifest themselves by exploding in the carbureter. When you hear a popping sound under the engine bonnet you may rest assured that It ls a backfire, The remedy tn the case of a weak mixture is to ad- just the carbureter; in the case of a cold motor run on a rich mixture until the motor ts heated, I do not understand this.

They say that over 500,000 more persons could be provided with homes in such structures during the next few years at @ comparatively amall capital out- Iny by altering old dwellings into the three-family type. Manhattan and Brooklyn alone have more than 40,000 dwellings available for alteration, Most of them are oc- cupted by one family. Realty organi- zations united last year to get the Lawson Threo-Family House Bill through the Legislature, but its pro- visions are not wide enough and only a very few projects have been under- taken. The Real Hstate Board sent to Albany yesterday an amendment to make the law apply to four-story houses of a depth of fifty-five feet. Accompanying it 1s an amendment to change tho definition of a tenement house to one of four families Instead of three, also to relieve the Tenement House Department from jurisdiction over structural changes, giving the right of appeal from its decisions to HOMES FOR 550,000 IN NEW-TYPE DWELLINGS. | Manhattan has 16,000 old dwellings which could be altered for three fam- ilies at small cost, ‘They would make homes for 100,000 more people. Brooklyn has 20,000 which would house 200,000 more. In addition, the | removal of such dwellings from Ten- |} ement House Department restrictions would lead to the building of 20,000 three-family houses within a few years in the five boroughs, making homes for nearly 250,000 persons. Many of them could be of frame or cheap construction in outlying dis- tricts, thus offering ploasant abodes for wage-earners of moderate moans. “We are convinced that the pre- vailing depressed conditions tn real estate will end with the war and be replaced by rapid enhancement,” sald President Willlam P. Rae of the Brooklyn Board of Real Estate Brok- ers, to-day. “The long halt in bulld- ing and vastly improved transporta- tlon facilities are sure to start an lm- mense wave of home seeking. Trob- ably the most attrnctive kind of nraperty at this time Is the throee- story dwelling, which has fallen to slight demand for one-family uso.

Armour and Company understand much better than almost anyone else possibly can that the American people could not afford to buy livestock only to use its edible portions. Consider it. Would you want to pay perhaps twice the present price of beefsteak? By-Products Reduce Meat Costs WwW it not that Armour and Company make curled hair, glue, fertilizer, sand-paper, soap, banjo-strings, and many other inedible by-products, you probably could not afford to eat beef. For, if the livestock were handled on a purely meats and hides basis as in olden days, nearly 30% of a steer would have to be thrown away, Can you not seo how the price of meat would have to be in- creased? But to you, the [mportant part of {t all 1s that Ar- mour and Company factor these by-products them- selves, By so doing, the greatest possible economy in manu- facture is obtained and the expense of handling is much less than if the raw by-products were sold to some other firm, ARMO ais CCleria. | Meat prices do not have to go up to cover any by- product loss, More, by factoring thelr own by-products, Armour and Company materially assist in stabilizing the by- product market for those who sell theirs unproc- essed, and so have a direct influence in maintaining the entire meat supply at true value levels, Protecting You on Price BY ANY other method, the figures you pay for meat would be controlled entirely by outsiders who, being under no responsibilities to the consum- ing public, would have nothing but their own inter- ests to consider, Therefore, It becomes obvious that for doing what some others do not do, Armour and Company de- serve the support of the ultimate consumer to a very considerable degree.
