"There is a fly In the ointment, when the foreign field Is consid ered, however.

This can be be determined by following the man u factors chart says Mr. Watkins of Smith and Watkins. For many cars a heary oil should be used In warm weather, and a lighter weight oil In cold weather. It gear shifting is hard or dif ficult after the car has stood all night In a cold garage, or after being parked on the street for a time, the grade of lubricant iu the transmission should be changed. Replace the old grease ' with 8 special weight grease that Is not affected " by either cold or warm weather conditions. A rule , that must be obserred do not thin the old stiff grease by adding lubricating oil. In thin ning the crease .which has already done its duty you are courting trouble and unnecessary wear on allj parts involred. . A test for the consistency of the lubricant In the rear axle can be made by Jacking " up the - rear wheels and turning them by band. They should rotate with ease. As surance should also 'be made that the brake bands are not dragging while making-the test.' A heary grease should not be used for; lubricating spring shack ies and steering connections.

"The average car owner spends several, months Income in toe pur chase of a car.

"Considering the investment in volved, the exercise of care In the selection of the proper lubricant is only applying the first princi ples of common sense. 'Just' oil Is not enough even though motor oils may look alike. Toad stools and mushrooms are similar in ap pearance, yet there Is a power of difference between them. "Different makes of cars call for different grades of oil. and in order that the car owner- may ac quaint himself with these, the Union Oil company has prepared a lubricating oil chart covering all makes of cars. These charts are free for. the asking and may be secured at any Union Oil service station or at independent dealers handling Union Oil products.'.' Permanent Roads Being De manded; Must With stand Great Strain Good roads must be considered important military factors in America's defense, according to Maj. General Charles P. Summer all. chief of staff, U. S. army. "Our military plans are guided solely by requirement for the de tense of our own country," wrote Major General Summerall in a re cent article for Chicago Motor Club News. He further , stated that the network of good roads now being constructed from coast to coast of the country provided invaluable arteries of transport and communication, should a na tional crisis arise. ... Military roade, lt was shown must be capable of withstanding the great strain of military traf tic, which is far more severe than ordinary traffic. The Via Sacra highway, leading to Verdun, in France, was considered adequate for peace-time needs, but during the war it required so much re surfacing and repair that; had the material been used at one time,, a road 12 feet thick would hare been built. Permanent Roads Demanded ,The major esesntlal of a mili tary road Is permanence and util ity under any and all conditions. Under modern- warfare, .the Vic tory goes to the side which can most quickly mobilize forces at a definite point. The historic de feat of Von Kluck, when his army threatened. Paris 'early ln . the Great, war, was made possible by the taxlcabe of Paris, carrying re serves rapidly to the danger point. American roads, to render the same type of service, must be capable of standing terrific pun ishment. "Many roads In this country,' stated Major General Summerall. "would not stand, this . wear, though they are entirely suitable for light touriet traffic? - Naturally present reads which are withstanding the severe traffic of interurban motor freight and passenger service are those which. should war' come.twould be best equipped to serve the army trans port system; ;., Hear duty roade must be made of concrete or a material equal-tn Strength and in economy of upkeep.

J a p. 14.- Widespread disapproval on the part of the motorists everywhere at the recent decision of the Unl ted States Supreme court, placing upon the motorist full responsi bility incrossing a railroad track, was crystallzed here this week when steps were taken to have the law. as laid down by the Supreme Court, changed. ! This was done in a i bill intro duced in the House by Congress man Frank Murphy of Ohio, the purpose of which would be to shift a part Of the responsibility! to tne raiiroaas, wnicn tne preme Court s decision! places up - on the motorist. Under the court's decision rendered by j J u s-t ice Holmes, a motorist in: crossing a railroad track at a blind crossing, must assume; full responsibility and must not only stop, look and listen, but under the rule laid down by the Court, must, if nect essary, get out of his 'car and go onto the track to make certain that a train is not approaching. The Murphy Mil, H. R. 7901. provides that a federal court, in such a case, must not adopt a rule contrary to the laws of the state. territory, or place where the ac cident occurred, its effect being to require the railroad to bear such responsibility, at blind cross ings, as the state Imposes upon them. j' !'''"! Commenting on the measure, Thomas J. Keefe, General manag er of the American Motorists As sociation, which has already rolc ed its disapproval of the Supreme Court's decision,' declared that the Murphy bill would meet with the approval of the millions of motor ists of the country. I ' "It is both; unfair land unecon omical to permit a railroad or a state to maintain a , blind grade crossing and "make the motorist assume full - responsibility for crossing the dangerous spot. The effect of the Supreme! Court's de cision In the Goodman (Ohio) Case, placed such a burden upon the motorist (hat there was bound to be a reaction against t such a law, and Representative Murphy's bill is the first legislative expres sion that congress oncurs with the' motorists! viewpoint that the law Is unfair; in this respect."
