mothers for little runabouts between
a year and a half and three years
old. The flared cut at the sides and
the uge of two materials give the
garment a somewhat “dressy”

Cause of Motor Knocks
Explained by Scientist
Motors “knock” because of the very
rapid burning of tiny drops of the
fuel containing peroxides, formed
during compressipn, believes Prof, BE.
N. da CC. Andrade, whose lectures on
engines before the royal Institution in
London are attracting wide attention.
Professor Andrade says there are at
least 14 theories as to the causes of
the “knock” which is so disconcerting
to automobilists. He inclines to the
one mentioned and says that regard
less of the cause, certain chemicals,
among which may be named lead
othide and iron carbonjl, if put into
the petrol in quite small quantities,
will cause it to occur more easily,
As the use of the “anti-knock™ sub.
stances allows the use of a higher
compression, Professor Andrade be
levee there Is a great future for the
development of this method of in-
creasing efficiency.
