THE OREGON "STATESMAN, SALEM, OnHGOM : " ) More Miles. vyon know that the average Is capable ot running at '000 miles, on a. gallon of ' you. are not getting this probably nine times . oat ' cause la due to leakage olnL. , . - '- . a other hand it your mil , exceeds 1000 - miles to .the ... allon of IW It Is best' to renew ; your crank case oil; alter; 1000 ! miles by drawing off. 1 This la re s commeided tecanse. In many cases, the on level Is,, kept high , automatically by dilution or gas oline" pasilag the piston, into the ? crank aSe.i-. Put, t granting . that dilution does not run hlsh in your motor, there fcs little value to the lubricant after being churned and -x-l;ped about and subjected to V.? temperature forseveral hun , drto" thousand revolutions of the , ' motor, t .'. y'yy), : :r If you, find It necessary to put a quart or., twq quarts of cylin , ; tier oil itfihe crank case erery 100 . xailes you. might Just as well. start r looking for a leak. ; v - , In hunting oil .leaks about the motor, the best procedure Is to wipe all .grease and pll toft oil pan, , timing gear or ebaln case, .valve cover plates, oil pipe lines, pump and gauge connections; then ex ; amine oil panV drain ping and an Joints while motor Is etopped after, case whie motor is stopped, after , which start the motor and while it ; J la running about 1000 revolutions . permlnutetir at a speed equhralr! 'mt'lq 25 miles-, per hour, on the road. Watch all joints and oil con : ' ' nectIon for several minutes. Thls"! I - l recommended because oil leaks i f that develop 'above the oil level i ; ; will not show up while the motor I i . is stopped or even whila It Is run I nlng atlow.speeds. ,; ... j . Looee oil line connections, loose screws in pump body, oil screen assemblies, vent pipes, oil - pan joints, gear case, valve -cover plates, etc, .will cause leakage, also if gaskets cr any of those j units have .'been,., damaged . during j repairs, or If "improper material : hs teen used, for new gaskets. Leakage may develop ven with t ' screws pulled , down, tight, so with . ri etor running , at a fairly high speed, leakage can easily be , de tects a-at the above points by. ex- carefully. A very slight bleeding of oil from any of these points will cut your oil mileage to a very great extent. . . . . J "V Another point which ,1a Tery of ten . overlooked 5 Is the chance of leakage along the outside oil lines, due to pipes! chaffing on metal parts. Examine your oil lines care fully to see that they do not make contact with sharp- sheet metal parts, corners of nuts, etc. The tubes as a rule are made ot cop per and are easily bent or reshap ed to prevent rubbing. - In some cases motor oil is wast ed by leakage through the ,rear main bearing. This can be de tected by checking for drip at fly wheel bousing while motor is run ning. . If fly, wheel .and clutch are enclosed the oil -will accumu ate and fill up the housing. Ih the case of a dry plate clutch this condition may cause clutch slip ping. . In ta oil clutch. It will probably result In a clutch drag, due trover-oiling, and sometimes will f lid Its way back into trans mission, overtoiling 'this unit. . By removing drain ping from fly 'wheel housing, or In the case of open fly wheel housing watch below while motor is running at 1000 revolutions per minute for drip. -y TOU dripping at4 the rate of one or two drops in 10 minutes may. be considered ' of no sconse--quence. . .-' However, drip at the rate of 10 to 20 drops a minute Is excessive, and aalde from; the loss in econ omy is liable: to result in clutch and 'Other, troubles- 1 -V t;i This . condition .can. be . correct ed -only by service mechanics. It is always best to take your car to " agents representing manufac turers for adjustment of this na ture, ft i ' Sometimes the trouble results trqm improper ' assembly .'of. . oil elinger or ; bearing parts during repairs,1 .bearing I wiping,, covering up oil grooves and : return holes due to r bearings being- adjusted too' tight .or to excessive speed with new, motors, and; with mo tors on which -the : -bearings have been taken; np- or bearings that hare suffered through lack of oil.

WHAT HAPPENED IN . LILLIAN'S ROOM ' I feared this." - . A fMls8 Jone's voice put reproach, j condemnation and -vindication of I ner ownTirophecy - into the,com ment, j the only one she t made, as she : entered Lihla,ns room' In re sponse to my. frantic summons. She touched the bell as she passed, and I inew that an needful aid for Lillian would be immediately forthcoming, so I" crossed to -Marion's ' side, f . .; The child had nttereda, shriek when her - "mother feU 'swooning against Robert Savarin, but had Clasped her little hand over her mouth, ' evidently : mindful of thy previous Injunction for . silence,, and' had uttered' no' sound since, although her wilding staring, siv-' guished eyes and ashen face showed how great was her terror. Even as Miss Jones bent over Lil lian she cast one glace at the little girl -and; spoke. 'quickly, ; impera tively, .to me. " : " . j V ' ?- - "Take her Into the next room at Once, - Marlon, your mother Is alive. - She has only fainted. But,! we ; must have absolute autet.1 here... I . I, blessed the presence of mind which had given this assurance, to the terrified child, even before I surmised the nurse was ab solutely sure of tbe truth of her own statement. -1 tried to sima-i late her composure, but my own heart, was wild with, anxiety, ,aa t carried Marlon to the next room. It was but a minute or two until Rovert Savarin ' joined us, and I knew that when aid had come at Miss Jones's summons he had been compelled . to give Lillian's unconscious form Into mora skilled hands.' - - With a pitiful Uttle moan Ma-i rion put out her arms' to him. .fie took her from me, and. sat down1 In; a big am chair, soothing her with, infinite tenderness. But (ha face he bent abova her was ashen and I knew that his was the hear? lest .burden of us an, that he held, himself at least partly to blame for Lillian's collapse. From 'the next room came, the subdued yet hurried . movements which mark a. battle between life and death in a hospital. After what seemed an eternity I heard the deep tones ot Dr. Pettit, and felt a rush of . thankfulness that he ..had arrived. The physician's personality affects me nnfavorsw bly, but in emergencies I find my self clinging blindly to his skill. "WEI My Mother Die?" I think all three of us had al most . reached ' the . breaking point when the hall door opened and Dr. Pettit came in. - ' . . "She is conscious," he "said with: his Usual deliberation, and lsln no immediate danger. But there must be weeks ot absolute aulet for her, and for a time she mast see : no one, not even her chUd She has consented to this on the condition that she be -allowed ta speak to each ot yon now. I am going , to permit thia speech oily because it will harm her more" to deny her than to grant her re quest. - But, you must not speak except f to . answer, her questions, and must leave her almost at once. And there must be no tears." He looked' at-Marlon Inquiringly. "I. won't cry, she said tensely. "But, will my mother aie?V j , 4 Her Whole tortured child soul was in the query. Dr. Pettit bent over her tenderly. - ' if she lets ns take ear ot. her-as she should have done months ago." " . v ."What Is the trouble, doctor? Robert Savarin s .quiet voice gave Ho hint of the agony I knew was swaying him. "A complete nervous collapse," the physician replied. : "Her use fulness f or the rest of her life, Indeed,. her life itself, depends1 up on, absolute rest and quiet for a long time." , , . . . . "She will have it." Robert Sav arin sa'id, and the words had the fervor of a vow. . We followed the physician into the- room where Lillian lay, too exhausted even to lift her head from the pillow. A New Fear ' "Hold the child close to her,M DrPettit said, and Robert Savar in lowered Marlon till her face rested against her mother's. 'Lil lian's eyes turned to me. j 1 "Madge," she. whispered slwly. "My keys In purse, my mall, edi tors you will-" v I will attend to everything," I interrupted promptly to save her speech, "and" I knew she meant to confide Marion to Robert Sav arin,' but ; I : guessed " she would prize my assurance of care also. "I will help Robert with Marlon in every way. Just rest and get well." W:';?; y '"All right." The words came with difficulty, and I stepped back from the bed without even the touch of her beloved hand, so pre carious did her hold on life seem "Robert Marion," she breath ed... . y "yes, sweetheart. I shall not leave her," the man said softly, and then' the mother, with a su preme effort, put her lips to. her little daughter's cheek. "Be brave,, darling, and mother will get) - "well soon," srhe mur mured, and the child, with a self- 1 almost uncanny, returned ther's feeble, kiss, and nt- mply the familiar childish WD (UV i I She was again lifted in Robert Savarln'B arms and carried out of the room, as the physician bent above her- mother. , I lingered long enough" to see that Lillian had, not swooned again,, as I had feared she might, and then fol lowed the , artist into , the f next room. . . t- It was not until hours after ward, when we had returned to the Ticer farm, and Robert Sav arin .had made arrangement to take : temporary quarters at the farmhouse - where , Dicky , had roomed, that there flashed across me the thought that LilUan'a col lapse removed , the last barrier to Grace c Draper's re-entrance intp our lives;. With my father gone on an indefinite trip,' Lillian so 111 that no news could be given her tor weeks to come, there was no one near who could authoritative ly forbid Grace Draper's presence. - (To be continued) . her mo tered si L 7 xormm FOR THE FARMERS r ; - The coddling moth has develop ed a taste for, Oregon walnuts.
