AUTO INDUSTRY USES LARGE AMOUNT OF RAW MATERIALS I The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce, as is its annual custom, has compiled the newest important facts of the automobile industry in the United States for the year of 1921. These figures and information have been compiled into six groups, which cover in a condensed form the progress of the nations second largest industry. Following vs the third of the series which is being released weekly m The Sunday Tribunes automobile section; RAW MATERIALS CONSUMED IV MANUFACTURING MOTOR CARS.

GUEBRLICH, short-circuiti- it short-circu- definite chemical formulae. Gasoline has none, as it is a combination of many compounds which vary greatly in their natural composition. So the study of gasoline is still going on, not only for the purpose of learning more about its make-u- p but principally to find ways, if possible, of increasing its efficiency as a motor fuel. The farthest step forward in the latter direction has been the development of a balanced gasoline. What makes gasoline Easy Starting " and Full of Power? WOODEN HANDLE These fractions, each of which boils or, In other words, vaporizes at a different. temperature, control in a large measure the various properties of gasoline. Nature provides gasoline, when vaporized, with its explosive character, but tbe refiner determines just what fractions it is to contain, and these in turn govern ita starting ability, the power it produces, the mileage it gives. uncertainty surrounding the exact composition of gasoline. Tens of thousands of liquids have where the lead enters or leaves this casing An examination will show this, and a temporary repair can be made by wrapping the wire with Insulating tape. A loose primary wire, pitted or Improperly set interrupter points, will often cause a minis hut the mine will generally be Irregular, thut Is, first In one cylinder and then In another, or perhaps everv four or five revolutions Ignition being o k , we must expect loss of compression to be the trouble To see If you have loss of compression to any extept In the missing tyllnder, open all of the compression cocks and then close one on one of the hitting If you will then slowly rranic cylinders the engine you will bq, able io feel the Now compression In the good cylinder If vou open this compress on cock and ilnse that oil the missing cylinder you Locating Trouble Concluded. If your engine misses, find out wh and correct the fault immediately. Running a car with a missing engine minus a very severe strain on all the parts oML When the engine misses the first thing to do is to find out which cylinder Is missing. This can host be done liv making the cylinders miss one after the other the spark plugs Thus by the spark If you were to plug of cylinder No 1 you would prevent if the and cylinder wag not the spark, and missing before It will nowr mins, douthe mlBstn of the engine will be bled.

B. ONUf Current Will Co Throuc Conoco the Balanced Gasoline The various qualities of Conoco Gasoline are carefully balanced by its manufacturers. The fractions that it contains have been determined only after a long study of the requirements of modern motors and of the motoring conditions peculiar to the six intermountain states which this company serves. Conoco Gasoline ignites promptly at all times because it has an abundance of low boiling-poifractions. It develops maximum power and gives a rata per gallon because even its highest boiling-point high-milea- nt or power fractions vaporize and burn completly at ordinary temperatures. An excess of "power fractions might seem desirable on first thought but their presence would greatly increase carbon deposits and hence do more harm than good. Use Conoco, the balanced Gasoline, exclusively this season and check it up with your former experience in connection with starting, power, mileage, carbon, economy and dependability. The term fraction is a in the laboratory of a modern refinery. Inasmuch as it accounts for the effect. veness of gasoline, the motonst should have at least a general idea of what it means. Most of us know that water boils at 212 F. Gasoline, however, has many boiling points, a wide range of them m fact. A gallon of any commercial gasoline is composed of various portions, or fractions, which have different boiling points. by-wo- rd 3crew Driver Instead Through This Wire To t Cap. ppwf mi THE CONTINENTAL OIL COMPANY (A Colorado Corporation) you will finath come to one wHJrh, when the e will not cair-(tine io run rUfferentIv than Ik foie This la the missing Lylindcr The Illustration nhowi how to the plugs Hv to whim: a 'r to the plug and the ground, at fchonn, the Current wi. .n the the screwdriver and not throi plug, and eo there will not t e a spaik Of the three essentials Ignition or compression is generallj the tause ol missing I told oii that a fault In the rnmarv circuit is liable to be the caue ?f nrt ngine suddenly stopping and that the unikeU to he at secondary circuit With a mls&, the revere is true, fault as If the primary circuit fails It will emuae a failure of the spark In all the cylinders and not in one onlv What are the units in tho secoiular circuit?
