I have a small car that needs paint-
ing badly. i cannot afford to havt it
painted so I would like to do it my-
self. I would appreciatc replies to
the following initiations in your next
issue of "Motorist Problems."
What kind of paint?
How apply?
Is one coat enough?
If car can be left out overnight
while drying, as garage is too dark to
paint in. and in ordnr to put machine
hack in garage it Would be neccssary
to start car, llll'l‘t’lly possibly injuring
paint through heat of engine?
Thanking you in advance, I am.
S. E.
It is necessary to clean a car thro-
oughly, removing all grease and dirt,
and then to sandpaper thoroughly, in
order to obtain a smooth surface.
You will have to decide what kind of
paint to use: that is to say, what
color. etc. Most any“ paint store car-
ries a full line of automobile paints.
Some of these are ready mixed and
easily applied. More detailed instruc-
tions regarding the applications of the
paint may he obtained from the party
selling the paint.’
()nc cont would hardly be sufficient
The first coat should be allowed to
dry thoroughly, and then should be
rubbed down with sandpaper. The
second coat applied on this should
give bcrtcr rcsults.
You could hardly expect to obtain
very good results by leaving the car
outsidc. It would be much better to
run tin» tar undcr cchr where it is
dry ntcht.

‘Has this perhaps something to do:

ivnlighten me on the subject and per- i
hops point out a way to rm to ovar-

, From 'what you have stated. it an-
ipcars that you have hecn Vtroublcd
with carbon in the cylinders from the
start. This may be hire to bad de-
sign. There are a number of motors
which, are faultly in this respect. In
stallini.r new piston rings will not
necessarily" overcome the trouble in
such a case. I you have been troub—
led with motor smoking continually
it would be advisable to reduce the
oil level so that t’ICll cylinder will not
receive so much oil. In a number‘
of cases troubles of this kind have
hecn overcome by turning a. slight re.
costs on each piston, approximately
ions-half inch wide, and then drilling
a few holes in this recess so that the
surplus oil working up on the pistons
will return to crank case and not
work up into combustion chamber.

| The claim is made that 95 per cent.
iof the oysters used in the market are
' brought from other states, though the
beds in the waters of Connecticut are
growing grounds that are not finish
ing grounds for the oyster.
'The “Oyster and Fisherman,” which
is the official organ for the oyster
growers, prints the following in last
week's issue, about the oyster taxa.

“Intelligent public opinion is now
demanding that great productive in-

destroy or greatly injure our produc-
tive industries, popular opinion
swings back to the realization that
’our most important industries must
root be sacrificed. ,

“This was not a franchise granted
to seine particular person or corpor-
ation which may of necessity become
a. monopoly, but the grounds were in
the nature of homestead settlements
in which those men who had the
courage and the industry to try to
cultivate these lands were permitted
to do so. Those who did take the
risk were regarded as too venture
some, and the common opinion in
1876 was that it was a case of the
fool and his money soon parted."
“These pioneers encountered many
difficulties and great losses, but creat-
ed and established a food producing
industry which has furnished employ-
ment for thousands and food for mil~
lions. .
“After a few years, the demand for
ground increased by reason of the
success or the pioneers and a Shell
Fish Commission was created princi-
pally to sell oyster grounds of the
state in order to benefit the state
treasury. Under the extravagant ad-
ministration oi this commission the
expenditure for selling these oyster
grounds far exceeded the proceeds
so that the state instead of netting
fortyflve thousand dollars before 1887.
it had ‘ln fact expended forty-live
thousand dollars nrore than the pro
seeds of the grounds.
“in 1887 the oyster growers peti.
tioned the General Assembly to abol-
ish the Shell Fish Commission, but
through political influencetliese of-
fices were retaned for more or less
deserving office holders.
"Six or sewn years ago, a move-
Incnl was slut-ted to increase the rev-
criuc from oyster grounds to the State.
This was based upon the fact that
the oyster grounds of Connecticut‘dld
not yield nearly as much income 'lo

grounds of llhodc island did. This has

strong and clear statement of the
conditions pertaining to the industry.
It shows that the treatment which
the industry has received has Ber»
iously depressed and diminished it,
While it does not impair the quality
of the product the output has been
seduced and the accrnge held by
planters has decreased to the amount
of some thousands of acres. Among
the facts which are shown in these
papers are the follinwgzv-
“The law has been for more than

"Although thc foundation for the
