(As dilution reduces the viscosity fef the "on, the "rate" of wear on fsaovlns parts rapidly Increases. Ft .Two principal sources combine ito cause this oil dilution.' v The jfjrst source of dilution Is the wat- ier 'formed during eomousxion tthrough the chemical combina tion of hydrogen In the gasoline (and oxygen In the air. Almost a 'gallon of water Is formed for ev- )r nllnn nf raaoline consumed. The second source 'of dilution Is found In unburned or Imperfectly burned gasoline which remains In the cylinders especially when the fehoke Is used to start the en glne. , Oil Protected In motor -ears of modern de- Bueh as the Oakland and Pontlae sixes, the crankcase oil Is f protected In two ways from' this two-fold dilution first by ther mostatic control of engine tern- sign perature and second by crank- lease Tentilatlon. In a cold automobile engine pnly a small portion of the gas oline becomes raporlzed. And only vaporized gasoline will burn. The normal mixture ratio is a Cwarm engine is approximately 13 parts of air to one part of vapor ized gasoline. But when the chill tot a cold engine permits only a ze, the mixture ratio becomes so disturbed that the engine must ibe choked. The choke cuts off fDart of the air suddIt to tha cair puretor with the result that the Engine receives 10 or 12 times the normal amount of gasoline: This Is necessary In order to pro vide that one part of vaporized 'gasoline required to produce combustion. Engine Warms Quickly The remaining portion of liquid gasoline has insufficient time to" 'burn during -the brief period of 'the explosion.

The thermostat which prevents circulation of water In the cool ing system until engine heat reaches 140 degrees, reduces the period, of Imperfect vaporisation and naturally shortens the time ; during which this type of dilution may occur K.nglnes not so pro tected warm up slowly and suffer a consequent Increase In dilution by gasoline. Another Important advantage of rapid warming up through ther mostatic control Is the reduction of the time during which the water vapor of combustion may con dense Into liquid through contact with cold cylinder walls. This wat er' vapor may work past the piston rings Into the crankcase although part of It usually Is expelled through, the exhaust. r Charles Chaplin Much Improved -LOS ANGELES, Mar. 2 (AP) Charles Chaplin, who was stricken Monday with ptomaine poisoning had Improved today to the extent that a lounge was moved Into his room and he sat up for several hours, his physi cian. Dr. Cecil Reynolds an nounced. The motion picture comedian had been critically 111 Tuesday night with an added at tack of intestinal Influenza but now Is rapidly recovering. Modernistic art In one of Its most dazzling forms Is portrayed In a body by Fleetwood on the Cadillac chassis which has attract ed unusual attention at the na tional automobile salons. The colors are ' a strong combination of polished metal and sable. Development of plowing on the farm from the stage of earliest and crudest boards and Iron plows to modern machinery, methods was discussed before' the power farm ing conference held at Corrallls this month. Speaking on the sub ject "Tractor Farming," J. A. Mc Donald said in part: "One hundred years ago, a man by working hard all day,' could care for the crops on 12 acres of land. At that time,' It ' required three men, four to six oxen, and a tremendous amount of physical labor to plow from one to two acres In a day. Today, one man sitting on a tractor pulling a 2-bottom plow- plows ten acres in the same num ber of hours, and 17 to IS acres with a S-bottom plow. - thus ac complishing from 25 to 30 times as much as Ills great, great,' grand father. . y . - ' - Advance Now Rapid The year 18S0 marks the begin ning of modern agricultural ma chinery; previous to that time, the harrow and the plow were practically our only agricultural Implements, although a few crude types of grain drills, mowers, reapers, rakes, etc, had been worked on from about 1800. From 18S0 to 1928; the farmers' effi ciency, due to Improved Imple ments, has Increased many times more than during the previous 2,- 000 years. The whole development of ma chinery has been a very gradual one; for example, It required more than 2000 years to change the shaped wooden plow, shod', with Iron, Into a plow , that had a curv ed moldboard and that really turned over the dirt Instead of merely stirring it. The Dutch people. In 1700, perfected mold board plows, some of which were exported to England In 178 0. Chilled Plows in 1808 From then on, development came more rapidly; within half a cen tury, the cast-iron plowshare made its appearance, and by 1803, the first chilled plows were put on the market. In 1833, John Lane, and In 1837, John Deere, made the first two steel plows, which were not put on the market until about i860. First honors go to a certain Aaron Palmer, who. In 1837, real ized the limitations of wheels and took out a patent on a kind of tread-mill affair. This was follow ed by patents on track-laying boats, road carriages and railway trains. The work of R. J. Nunn, in 1867 is particularly outstanding for he was a technician who tack led this problem with a full appre- T-- elation of Us many angles. Mr. Nunn's patent specifications and claims are a work of art. Traction Engines Starter From 18 88 on. Interest increas ed, due partially to the develop ment of the steam engine as a source of mobile agricultural pow ed. In the late 80's and all through the S-0's, we find many patents on track-laying attachments for tarc tlon engines, most of which prov ed Incapable of operation when built, but many contributing some small usable Item. This brings us up to the time when the problem was attacked by the men who were eventually successful, namely. C. L. Best of San Leandro and Benjamin Holt of Stockton. From this time on. de velopment was much more rapid.
