Re move flywheel from the shaft so it can be handled more easily. After motor Is disassembled and you start working on the crank shaft energy, system and per severence are put to a severe test. TIGHTEST BEAEXSGS , Place bluing (the kind used In'washing clothes) on the crank shaft where main bearings fit and tighten shaft down wjth the bearings in proper place. Then turn the shaft over a few times. When this is 'done, again remove the bearings and shaft and it will be seen what bearings are out of line and also the high and low spots. Scrape the bearing where the bluing is for they are "the high places. Keep doing this until the bearing seats fit the crank shaft and bearing Is equal ail over. : By following these instructions care fully one cannot help but get his crank shaft in line and get the bearings prop erly seated. Connecting rod bearings should be seated In the same way, one at a time. After seating the bearing, it should be tightened by removing the fine shims be tween upper and 'lower bearings, one at a time, until tight. As soon as the bear ings are tight tap them with a hammer. If the sound is solid, all is well. If a dull sound is heard, investigate, for some thing is wrong and the bearing does not seat properly. After the bearing is tight, if the shaft does not move freely, place a fine thin shim back between the bearings and this will give about the right adjustment. Remember an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and that the best prevention against bearing trouble is to change the oil in the crank case every thousand miles at the most.

SetberBng, Vice President end General Manager The Haynes Automobile Company, Kohomo, Indiana . ; ....... . . , . . s.. This is the greatest year the Haynes has ever known. It is fax exceed ing last year and the year before, when nroduction alone measured the volume of sales, tliat was a "sellers' market," and little if any work was necessary to sell a car. To-day things are different People are scratmizing their rirchases. They1 are insisting that every dollar shall buy its full value. And nday the sales of Haynes cars are extolling those of last year by one-tliird. The volume of sales is 133 per cent, of any previous year. So great is the demand for the Haynes that to-day in our big factories at Kokomo we are enrploying 16 per cent, more men than ever before, even in the big rush days of last year and the previous one. There is just one big impressive reason for this. When anybody sees the Haynes and studies it until he knows its worthlie wants it. The Haynes 50 the smaller and lighter six-cyl inrifr, je-rassenger tcniring car ptroduced the first of the year has swept the country. Never before was a motorist offered such value. When you realize that it i3 oh a par in quality and workmanship with the larger Haynes modeb you sense the extreme desirability of the car. I , -. - .V : Although we had prepared for a large volume of orders, the demand is already so great that deliveries are apt to be delayed.
