THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 PAGE THIRTEEN FINEST GASOLINE STILL INPERFECT: 50 CLEAN ALVES Modern Motorist Paying For Assumption Carbon is Routed SHOCK FOR OWNERS Service Stations Notice Dif- ference in Grinding of i] Parts ! "Clean carbon and grind valves" not so long ago was so common on repair shop work sheets that, even if writ- ten so illegibly as to be beyond read- ing, it was completely understood by the mechanic who happened to get the job. Any five-word order almost automatically was taken to mean ¥clean carbon and grind valves." Then, along came "high test" gas and the old phrase passed relatively out of the picture. It emphatically is not to be in- ferred that high test gases are not what they are cracked up to be. The -most super of the superlatives of the manufacturer, however, fall far this side of what the average motorist is inclined to think the newer gasolines are capable of doing. The automotive engineer is with the service manager on this ques- tion. He has been able to create an automobile capable of truly aston- ishing performance as a result of the advances made in the production of gasoline of a higher grade. Still, he recognizes that, good as the gaso- line of today undoubtedly is, it has its limitations. One of the limitations is that it is unable to eliminate 'the need for cleaning carbon and grinding valves. It. has startingly lengthened the eriod between carbon and valve obs but as to eliminating them, his Siperience says "no." he revelation may he shocking to car owners, but a number of engin- eers and service department heads were consulted and there was uni- versal agreement on the subject, The motorist is satisfied with performance, not because it is the kind that comes from a carbonless engine in which all the valves are seating perfectly, but merely because he is content to believe it is, Unfortunately, he really is missing a lot of performance that is in the car, but cannot find a way out simply because the owner fails te go to the shop now and then and ask them to "clean the carbon and grind the valves." ; In the old days, there were plenty of audible signs that the car was choked up wtih carbon, During the process of acceleration or while climbing a hill, the knock or, ping within the engine meant only one thing, carbon, After it reached a certain point, there was no, escape a cleaning job. hen, the non-detonating or knockless gasoline made its debut, It removed the knock and a whole lot of the carhon, but the complete elimination of the first led to an uni- versal assumption that the latter too had been thoroughly put to rout, True, it was quite a rout, hut not quite a complete one, Knocking always has been car- bon's way of making its presence known and felt, Presto! No knock, no carhon reasons today's motorist, The car owner is paying for the lack of precision in his logic, He pays in two ways, according to those who should know, In the first place, he loses through performance that is not ® to the car's potentiali- ties and, in the second, when he fin- ally does get around to having the valves ground, he finds them in such condition that replacement is meces- sary, Then, in addition to the replace: ment of valves, the Jo whi 1 often badly pitted and ed require 4 tN) "from a' me- chanic above the ordinary in dex. terity. That costs money, too. The motor car owner often is prone to forget in connection = with the high quality gasoline he uses today that it is not always the motor fuel which causes the most and worst variety of carbon. How about the lubricating oil which, when pistons, rings and cylinders have worn as a re- sult of long service, works up into the combustion chamber? In the newer engines, cooling sys- tems have been given larger capacity, valye materials have been changed and the designs and the dimensions of the valve and its seat have been modified to Diavide for the better dissipation of heat and to create a safeguard against damage, particu- larly to the exhaust valves which are exposed to temperatures that may approach the critical, "his departure in design practice should suggest to many car owners the fact that perhaps the valves in their own cars if i to become carbonized, or lifted from their seats by particles of carbon are subject to damage or, at least, are not function- ing properly. Another vagary of the motorist is cited' as contributing to the situation. This is the modern motorist's crav- ing for silence. To get it, he js con- or service station to get the valves adjusted. The adjustment sought is not, in a majority of cases, in the in- terest of more power or better all around efficiency. No, indeed, it re- lates rather to noise, The result is valve deterioration, greater carbonization, and the attend- ant evils of both, Internal combustion engines have been amazingly improved, but they have not reached that degree of effi- ciency which sets them beyond the creation of that famous by-product-- carbon. Gasolines, too, are improved in quality. So are lubricating oils, Be this as it may, there's a lot of carbon in America's 23,000,000 motpr vehicle engines that might be re- moved without reflecting upon the motor or the foods it consumes and with a most beneficial effect upon performance. . The motorist who doubts this should ask his favorite service expert, More Than Mosquitoes If it is any consolation to the vie- tims of insect bites to know of fel- low-sufferers in still more unhappy state, people here should read about the devilish cleverness of the tsetse fly in avoiding the death it deserves, Chiggers, mites and mosquitoes seem to be gifted with extraordinary in- genuity in escaping the notice of their prey until the damage is done, but they are not entirely impreg- nable. There are ways of killing them, A scientist, who has been investi- gating the ravages of the tsetse fly in Zululand has used everything he can think of to destroy the pest, but without success, He tried dipping the cattle on which it feeds in a poison bath of the kind used to kill ticks, but the fly, lightiny on an animal still wet, took a bite with- out getting any of the dip, The tube through which it draws blood is kept shut until it has penetrated the layer of liquid and also the skin, In a last desperate effort to get some poison into the flies, the doc- tor injected arsenic into the blood of some cattle, Unfortunately it killed the cattle before the flies ar- rived, and they were not interested in the carcasses, Oshawa MERCHANTS | Annual BARGAIN FEAST Oshawa Luggage and Fancy Leather Goods Special for BARGAIN DAYS A 10 per cent. discount will be given on all goods in our store, marked at present prices,--also specials on vari- ous goods, Special prizes will be offered jn the balloon contest.

New York Governor Would, Imitate Provincial + Liquor Control Ottawa, Aug. 27--From opinions which are widely expressed here, both in political and other circles, Canada has a greater interest and also a more material stake in the outcome of the United States Presi- dential election this year than in any which have preceded it. Thousands in Canada listened in on the radio to the acceptance speeches made in turn by Mr, Hoov- er in California and Governor Smith at Albany. It is very conceivable that Canadian general policy for the future may embody more or less res action to the result of the November election across the line. Mr. Hoover's Republican policy as interpreted here, has a particularly vital bearing upon the Dominion, Mr. Smith, if elected, would seek to copy the Can- adian laws in respect to the provin- cial control of liquor sales, although to so amend the Constitution as to bring that about is admitted to he a very involved and laborious enter- prise. St. Lawrence and Tariffs This policy, however, might in de- gree, affect the Dominion in a tour- ist sense but not otherwise, The Republican proposal to recon- cile the Mid-West farmers is double barrelled. Each of the two plans will inevitably produce an effect here, It is intended to raise the tariff on agricultural products, not against Canada, specifically, although the effect would he the most immediate and far reaching. Coupled with this is a remedy for transportation cost of the farmer by the development of the St Lawrence Waterway, a pro- ject possible' only with the consent and co-operation of the Dominion Government, While, from the viewpoint of Re- publican electoral strategy, this plan may he most attractive, the widely voiced opinion here is that the two schemes do not harmonize from the Canadian angle. } the Canadian farmer is to he shut out of the Uni- ted States market as the means of further protection for the Mid-West American agriculturist, it is argued that Canada will not be in any al- truistic frame of mind to help com- plete the rest of the relief program by co-operating in the St. Lawrence is view is propagated hy a large number of letters that are coming to Ottawa, Watchful Waiting Some suggestion has heen advan- ced that a formal statement on the subject should be made, but such is not at all likely. There is no dis- position to intervene in the electrical affairs of another country, but the opinion is seemingly deepening that Canada should adopt a policy look- ing to its own interests and without any regard to the interest of the United States or the political for- tunes of either of the parties which now are struggling for predominance there, If the Republicans are suc- cessful they will have a free and un- obstructed hand to adopt whatever tariff policy they please. and Mr, Hoover's 'record is such as to lead to the belief that he will do what he has promised. The second part of his program, namely, the St, Law- rence question, is.one which will re- quire Canadian consent and co-oper- ation, and the opinion is extensively voiced that a tariff club is not the most soothing medium to accomplish international effort in a great joint enterprise, So far as the Democratic party is concerned, Governor Smith steers clear of the St. Lawrence question, but conveys the impression that Americans have nothing to fear from what that party would do to the taritf if returned to power at Wash- mgton His projected scheme in regard to liquor laws, however, is based upon the Canadian system of provincial control, accomplished in Canada, however, without encountering the constitutional obstacles which prevail Waterway... wl i in the States. As to the working of the Canadian Provincial systems, much Americas | investigation is promised in the next | two months. i If Mr. Hoover is elected it is more than conceivable that the Liberal tank policy may undergo some varia- ion, Likewise the caution, if not the apathy, displayed toward the St. Lawrence scheme as an international enterprise, may only be intensified, Comments The American Tariff League, com- menting on Gov. Smith's tariff views as sxpressed in his Acsepiance speech, t fn i t!
