The engine is said to "choke and sputter" end the cause of the trouble is generally that the manifold con tains a large quantity of liquid gasoline, which, when the throttle ig opened is suddenly sucked into the cylinders, "flooding" them and temporarily producing a mixture too rich to explode--at least regularly, and often foullng the plugs. The reason for this collection of unvaporized gasoline is that, when an engine is closely throttled, the rate of flow of air through the carburetor is so low and the suction on the carburetor-jet is so week, thap there is no actual atomizing of fuel into fine particles and very slight mixing action, due to air moticn. Gasoline simply "dribbles" out of the carburetor standpipe and settles upon the walls of the piping, colleeting in puddles upon the lower surfaces of the mani fold, which is oflen too cold to evaporate any of the liquid, except its | most volatile portions. Upon the opening of the throttle, there is a sudden violent rush of air through the piping, which catches up the collected fuel and sweeps it Into the cylinders, producing therein an immense excess of combustible, with results as stated above. When the carburetor is mounted directly upon the cylinder-block, as in most recent engines, the manifold is within the casting, and is heated enough by the surrounding warm jacket water to reduce the loading evil, but in external, exposed manifolds loading takes place, especially when the engine is cold. The hot spot manifold, with a portion of its wall heated by exhaust gas, the combination intake and exhaust manifold, having one hot wall common to both, are expedients for preventing the collec tion and retention of liquid fuel in the intake. The use of a carburetor 20 designed that, even when throttled, the air has a high velocity past the jet and the jet has a vigorous spraying action, tends to minimize "loading". The motorist who owns a car. the engine of which suffers ! from loading after being run throttled, should give the intake more heat ! : .

I am suwe that ths battery is charged and that the starter drive is all right. What is the matter? Answer: Either the engine turns over abnormally hard, perhaps be- cause some its mov parts have recently heen tig ed or! else there is an extra high clec- trical resistance somewhere in the atarter circuit, which prevents the motor from developing the quired torque. If the engine cranks very hard, by hard, it, is not strange that the motor balks at turning it over.

Tooping Track Of Fuel Economy The Tconomical Cor ls Generally The Well Conditioned Car WITH THE PRESENT high price of gasoline likely to advance atill furtier, there fs an added incentive to keep track of a car's gasoline consumption, and the best way to do this is to keep an accurate record of the number of gallons added to fully replenish the tzpk, at each Qliing and 'the cdometer reading on each such occasion. To figure the miles per gallon obtained between any two fillings, it is only necessary to divide the difference between the two odometer readings by the number of gallons supplied durfng the period in question. For example, if on i March 1st, the odometer 1 ding was 6,325 and on May 1st 6,803, the | 1 Car was run 477 miles and, if the tank was completely filled on these { J Roof: two dates and 31 gallons were supplied, including the filling of the last For Sale by Anglin Lumber Co. | THERE IS AN EXILE | but not of the first date, the average gasoline economy during the period DEALER NEAR YOU would be 477 divided by 81 or 15.4 miles per gallon. The longer the period of time and the more the car is run, the more accurate the resuits obtainable in this way, assuming the records are correct. For those motorists who object to keeping such memoranda continuously, gasoline economy can be checked up occasionally in an approximate way as follows: Just before starting upon a fairly long trip, set the car on a level floor, fill the tank exactiy full and record the odometer reading end, upon returning, place the car in a level position, fill the tank exactly full, with gasoline handled in an accurate measure, read the cdometer and divide the mileage run by the number of gallons required te replenish the tank. The miles per zallon thus obtained will be higher ~ - x than can be obtained in average service, especially if the trip is a long mi 3 To-night at Jarvis's Strawberries and Ice Cream Neilson's Saladice Bricks, 4Se, A delicious lee Cream Brick full of frults and nuts Neilson's assorted bricks, 35e.
