PREVENTS INJURY TO MOTOR
Accumulation of Carbon From Cylin
der, Sand From Road and Othor
Particle Shorten! the Life
of the Bearing.
ray. WILLIAM H. STEWART, President
of the stewnrt Automobile School.)
What a world of trouble you are
storing up for yourself If you do not
(drop the oil bn.se and cloiin it Sedi
ment nnd muck accumulate faster
Mion yon think, nnd sooner or Inter
fcrou will hnvc a ruined engine on your
linnila. It Is not sufficient to chnngo
he oil regularly,, as advised by the
manufacturer. The oil base should be
llnken down nnd the deposits removed
iDCcnslonnlly.
The first time you do this you will
lie surprised nt the nature of the accu
mulations. Small lumps of carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the
rond, even particles of metal turnings
left there when your car came from
the factory, have nil been found In the
till base. But worst of all Is the thick '
muck of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
nnd other particles are heavy and
sink to the bottom, but the muck re
mains even after the base is drained
of the old oil.
I Usual Advice to Motorist
' The advice usually given to the mo
torist tnay be sammed np as follows:
"Drain out all the old oil. Replace the
plug and fill to the usual level with
kerosene. Bun" the" engine liof more
tnan su seconds nnd then drain the
oil base. Repent If thought neeessnry.
This stirs up tho muck and sediment
which runs out with tho kerosene. In
this way the bose and bearings nro
cleaned with a minimum of effort and
without removing tho crank case."
"Stir It up,M as Hamlet any. In
deed, the grit, which should Ho dor
mant until scraped out by hand, Is
stirred up and splashed nil around the
crank case and also carried Into the
bearings. It forma a fine grinding
compound which either shortens the
life of the bearings or clogs up the
oil holes, causing the bearings to run
dry.
Injurious Results.
The result Is even worse If tho oil
ing system Is one of the pressure
type forcing oil through a hollow
crnnk-slmft directly Into tho bearings.
Right Into the bearings, mind you I
nnd under pressure, tool Can any one
defend this method nfter renllklng
whnt this means! It Is not a suftl
clent nnswer to say that the oil must
pass through a strainer. ' The finest
grit will always pass through and
harm Is done!
So while It Is n dirty job and a dis
agreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning It Is the only
way to give your e2gl:io tho car Jt
really needs.
MOST CONVENIENT TIRE TOOL
Little Wedge of Wood Can Be Slipped
In Between Bead and Pulled
Around Surface.
One of the most convenient little
weapons for use in tire repairing Is a
little wedge of wood, three-quarters of
nn Inch thick and three to five Inches
long, depending on the size of tires
used. This wedge Is slipped In be
tween the bends and can be pulled
around the entire circumference of
the tire with one hand, while the oth
er Is free to hold the tire. Tills is
much easier than trying to use both
hands to force the casing open, while
holding it on the shoulder.

IMPORTANT PART
IS ILLTREATED
Owners Should Give More Atten
tion to Universal Joints, De
clares an Expert.
SHAFTS MOVING CONTINUALLY
On Account of Location Joint I Neg
lected Mora Than Any Other Part
of Car Engine la Blamed for
Difficulty.
I'lty the sorrows of the poor uni
versal joint. Compelled to struggle ou
alone, out of sight ami out of mind striv
ing to overcome friction when uoglect
etl, shocked almost to tho brunkiug
point by contact of tho rear wheels,
with wuler burs and mud holes, wrench
ed unmercifully by sudden uso of the
clutch still It stands up under tho
strain. Study Its' needs ami intend to
tlieni, and you will bo repaid a hun
dredfold, writes uu export lu au ex
change. Tho purpose of a universal Joint Is
to deliver power from one Btuift to
another when out of Hue or nt a
varying angle. The forward pud Is
fastened to the spline shaft In tho gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going to tho differential and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
unother universal Joint near tho differ
ential. Tho two shafts are rarely lu
line, so some sort of a Uexiblo coupling
Is necessary, ami the present high
grade Joint lias been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises mid falls with
(be spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out of line and the need of a flexible
joint is quite apparent. The angle Is
never very great, because any depar
ture from a straight line loses power.
When the car is properly loaded with
passengers the line will be found to
be very nearly. If not quite, straight.
On account of 1 I location the joint
Is often neglected probably more than
any other part of the car. It Is a
dirty Job to grease or even to Inspect
It, nnd so it is neglected until the
engine is unalde to pull the usual hills
on high gear. Frequently tho englno
Is blamed for this, whereas the fault
is entirely due to friction In the uni
versal Joint, gears, and differential.
Long before this trouble arises tho
Joint should be lubricated.
The old types were covered with a
leather boot dilllcult to remove. But
the present type Is completely incased
In metal with a convenient plug for
greasing. Of course a greaso gun
must be used and the lubricant forced
in at different angles. Use a light
gear-case compound, one that will
reach every purt readily.
Avoid Cup Grease.
Do not use a cup grease, as it will
not work into the Joints, but will
squeeze out and stny out. This also
applies to the lubricant used in gears
and differential. It must be of a con
sistency to run in between the gears
as fast as It is forced out
Now give a good look at tho bolts

It was Sunday morning in the choir

that we were to sing "Amen," hut, not
noticing closely that the other mem

with the "Alimcn" ringing out in the
silence of the church, without even

ESTABLISH RATES FOR MOTORTRUCK HAULING
The Pea in Thl Load Will Go Directly by Motortruck to the Dealer at
a Market 15 Miles Away and Arrive In Fresh Condition.
(Prepared by the United State Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The man who plans to operate a
motor truck should have a good work
ing knowledge not only of his engine
but the entire machinery In general.
The wages paid drivers vary in differ
ent sections of the country and for
trucks of different sizes, ranging from
$2.75 to $7.50 a day. Depreciation Is
one of the heaviest annual expenses
wllh a motor, a loss" of from 20 to
83 1-3 per cent of tho cost of tho truck
each year being required to cover this
charge,
Maintenanco Cost.
Data collected by the bureau of mar
kets show that the annual cost of over
hauling and repairing the trucks
ranges from $100 to $000 a year.
Those truck operators who make It a
point to keep their machines In a con
stant stnte of repair have relatively
small charges to meet for annual over
hauling. On the other hand, those who
operate their trucks as long as possi
ble with no regular repairs often have
to pay a heavy overhauling chargo at
the end of the year. Tire expenses, gar
age rent, taxes, licenses and Insurance,
overhead expenses, repairs and equip
ment all swell the annual maintenance
costs.
Rates for Hauling.
In some sections there aro as many
different systems of computing rates
and charges for hauling as there are
motor trucks, each owner having an
original way of figuring his transpor
tation toll. There are several factors
which should be considered In the es
tablishment of rates In any district.
The value and the fragility of the load
bear a direct relationship to the rote
that should be charged. Very valuable
or fragile loads Involve the greater
risk on the part of the carrier and the
tariff for the carriage of such goods
should be sufficiently high to offset the
risk Involved. The length of tho haul
naturally la another prime considera
tion, Iload conditions directly nlfnct
operating costs and hence must also
bo considered, In establishing rates.
Tho perishability nnd bulk of the load
must be taken Into consideration,
t here complete delivery Is made from
the door of the shipper to the door of
the consignee, nnd service Is rendered
which Is not duplicated by the rail
road, this additional service must bo
considered In fixing the rate. Prac
tically no rates have been established
on the basis of cost plus n reusonnhle
profit. A satisfactory rate must be
one which Is low enough to attract
business nnd high enough to offer a
reasonable profit to tho operntor.
Where conditions do not permit the
establishment of such a rote, enre
should be exercised In starting a route.
