Detecting Tire Overloading.
P A. MOTORIST is convinced, that he U using tire of ordinarily good
quality, mat He Is giving them proper care and is not subjecting them
10 unusually severe usage and still he 1 falling to obtain from them as
'iod mileage as the experience of other motorists would lead him rea-
Jiiably to expect there is s strong presumption that his tires are overloaded,
ll Is a very simple matter to take n car to a platform scales and obtain its
total weight, and then to obtain the weight borne by the front'and rear
axtea respectively if the whole car Is setting level when one pair of wheel
only Is on-the scales, the sum of the weights carried by the two axles should
jual the total car weight By consulting the table of allowable loading
Ji6 permissible load for a tire of the size In question, when used in front
and when used In rear Is readily obtainable and these figures should be'
compared respectively with one-half the front axle weigh', and one-half
the rear axle weight If It be found that the actual weight on either pair of
tires exceeds the permissible load, the tires of that pair are overloaded and
even if the actual loading is not actually above the allowable, it may be that
the duty imposed upon the tires Is above that which would lead to the best
economy. Over-size fires are required in cases of overloading.

. I-:. C. II. u.-ks: Can "Poco" alcohol
bo successfully used In decarboniz
ing an engine? Is this method as
good as scraping the cylindersT How
much alcohol should be used in each
cylinder?
Answer: No method Is so sure as
scraping. We do not know this
brJnd of alcohol but, as the name
you give Is quite similar to that of a
well-known brand of denatured al
cohol, wo assume that it is this kind
of alcohol that you refer to. Alco
hol, like a number of other liquids,
exerts some solvent action upon the
compounds which bind together the
particles of carbon doposits and Is
thus cnpablo of softening and loosen
ing thorn to some extent and thus of
hastening their expulsion from the
cylinders. To treat a cylinder, r

engine until the piston Is at the top

a se,ulrt can or oil gun, put back the
plug and let It stand over night,
in the morning, suck out the alcohol
with tho oil gun, through the plug
opening, replace the spark-plug and
run the engine briskly. One cylin

all have been operated upon. If tho

I. A. B. asks: what Is the "con

what is it for?
Answer: Its object is to Increase
the Intensity of the Igniting spark
and to prevent sparking at and burn

primary or low tension circuit It
consists of a small bundle of tinfoil

Plans Move Forward.
Washington, July 19. American
plans for a "business nrmy" in Kussia
with a considerable military protective
force are moving forward rapidly. .
Despatches from Tokio today indicat
ed that Japan has approved tho nlnii
and the other allies already had done
so. ine original proposition, outlined
by the United Press recently still
stands. The aid to Russia will be eco
nomic, while American, Japanese and
a few British and French troops will
constitute a force to join with the
Caecho-Slovaks already in Siberia.
These' forces will not be combative
but merely protective. It is believed
that the Hussians will rally quickiy
about allied forces and actually will re
sume a strong stand in battling Ger
man influence and military oppression.
That there may be no misunderstand
ing of the allied purposes, a corps of
''educators" will bo sent into Siberia
ahead of the expedition.
