QUES "boot aBtoSlIs
To the Automobile Editor;
Within the past month 1 have had
, the valves
■ ground in my engine and
the carbon removed and still it knocks
when running on the level, and more
so when climbing a hill. What further
repair can you suggest? L. B. T.
The grinding of the valves and the
removal of carbon will not eliminate a
knock caused by loose bearings, if the
knocking only occurs when the engine
overheats, the cooling system is defec¬
tive. If the knocking is growing worse
some bearing is coming loose and the
engine will have to be taken down to
repair it. It is extremely dangerous to
run the engine in this condition.
To the Automobile Editor:
Some of my friends talk about using
the engine as a brake. How is this
done? Does it hurt the engine any?
In order to use the engine as a brake
the switch must be off, the gears in
mesh and the clutch engaged. In de¬
scending very steep grades it is best to
use the low gear. The brakes should
also be used if the speed is too fast.
If yours is a medium or light car you
may use the second speed. There will
be no harm to the engine.
To the Automobile Editor:
When I throw in my clutch the car
jumps forward with a hound upon
stalling. Can you tell me what might
be the cause of this trouble and how
it may be removed? T. F. S.
Your clutch is too harsh. When
starting from a standstill let the cultch
in gently. If you have a leather-cover¬
ed cone clutch, squirt neatsfoot oil all
around the clutch leather and let it
stand over night with the clutch block¬
ed out. If it is a multiple-disk clutch
running in oil, change the oil and put
in a little heavier grade. If this slips
too much, mix some kerosene with it.
If you have a dry-plate type some of
the lining may be loose and catching.
If a metal to metal type the clutch
may be so rough as to need refacing.
A little graphite and oil may give a
temporary relief.
To the Automobile Editor:
Would it cause any extra wear on
the differential if in turning sharp cor¬
ners one did not throw out the clutch?
Or is it better to throw out the clutch
and go into second speed? E. T. D.
Throwing out the clutch while turn¬
ing corners does not affect the differ¬
ential, which is designed to take care
fit such conditions. To disengage the
clutch around corners is good practice,
but this is done more to take the strain
off of the drive shaft and the tires. In
most cities there is a law against turn¬
ing corners at more than four miles
an hour so it is necessary to go into
second speed in order to do this.
To the Automobile Editor:
Does a cut in a tire need to be vul¬
canized if it doesi, not reach the inner
fabric? Is there any way to close this
up by what may be called a home re¬
pair? N. K. W.
If the cut is small and does not
reach the fabric a temporary repair
may be made by cleaning the cut thor¬
oughly with gasoline, letting it dry,
coating the isides of the cut with tire
cement, letting that dry, and then fill¬
ing the cut with tire putty. This must
.set over night or for twenty-four hours
if possible, but it is soft and will wear
away. There are portable vuicanizers
which will do a fairly satisfactory job.
but a regular vulcanized repair is the
best.
CENTRAL GIVES
VALUATION
That the capitalization of the Cen¬
tral of Georgia Railway represents oniv
$22,281 for each mile of track operated
a sum less than the construction cost
of a mile of ordinary hard-finished
highway, is the statement of W. A.
Winburn, president of the Central. He
points out that it costs $25,000 per
mile to build such a highway, with
only light grading, and without consid¬
ering the value of the land on which
the road is built; while the railway
capitalization represents the right-of
way, buildings, ballast, ties and rails,
heavy bridges, signals, telephones and
telegraph lines, shops, terminals, etc.
Discussing “watered stock,” Mr. Win
burn argues that this contrast proves
the reasonable capitalization of the
Central of Georgia. He points out that
the railway must build and maintain
its own tracks, whereas motor trucks
and busses, in competition with the
railways, have the free use of hard
surfaced highways, built and maintain¬
ed by public funds, and which must lie
re-built by tax money when worn out
by motor traffic. He declares further
that the struggle the railways must
make to earn a modest return upon a
low capitalization proves that there is
no “watered stock,” and that the
freight and passenger rates are rea¬
sonable.
The statement explains the railway
valuation now under attack by radical
agitators who aim at government own¬
ership. Air. Winburn says that the
transportation companies ask only such
treatment as the constitution of the
United States provides, and that to
disregard these provisions would in¬
volve confiscation of private property
and of investments, made in good faith,
such as has never occurred in Ameri¬
can history.
TEETHING BABIES
Our mothers will be glad to learn
that they can now get “Pitts Carmina¬
tive” for a small price from Penning¬
ton Drug Co., phone 43, and that it
does not contain dope, morphine or
soothing drugs of any kind. So if your
baby is having trouble and pain from
teething, such as vomiting, wind or
colic, painful stoois or diarrhoea, bowel
troubles, is fretful, feverish and losing
flesh, then hurry, mother, and give
your little one a dose of Pitts Carmina¬
tive. Then your child will rest easy, be
well contented, happy, digestion fine,
vomiting and colic stopped, and teeth
are cut easily and naturally. Pitts Car¬
minative also helps in cleaning the di¬
arrhoea mess out of your childrens lit¬
tle bowels easily, as nothing else can
do. Children like the pleasant taste of
Pitts Carminative, and take it readily.
Dose for all ages, (10 days and up) is
printed on each bottle. lyr

THAT Umm LAMENESS
If your lame every morning, and
suffer urinary ills, there must be a
cause. O.'ten it’s weak kidneys.
To strengthen the weakened kidneys
and avert more serious troubles, use
Doan’s Kidney Pills. You can rely
on Covington testimony.
