Its area of
45,126 square
miles is larger
than the combined New Eng-
land states, except Maine, with
New Jersey thrown in for good
measure. Its name means
“Penn’s Woodland" and was so
named by King Charles II, who
granted this territory to the
Quaker, William Penn, and
named it in commemoration of
Penn’a father, who had been a
distinguished admiral and on
terms of peculiar friendship and
intimacy with the royal family.
This grant was made in Heu of
£16,000, which the king owed Ad
miral Penn. On this basis It
originally cost about $2 a square
mile.
Pennsylvania has assumed
such an important place among
the states that it is often called
the Keystone state. This term
was probably derived originally
because her name was carved
on the keystone of the bridge
over Rock creek, between Wash
ington and Georgetown. Later on
it was applied on account of the
great importance of the state in
national elections. Its delega
tion to congress totals 38, sec
ond only in size to that from
New York, and Pennsylvania
accordingly has 38 presidential
electors.
William Penn first came over
to America in 1682. The follow
ing year he laid out the city of
Philadelphia,
or
"Brotherly
Love,” which was named after
a biblical city in Asia Minor. As
Pennsylvania was the only col
ony without a seacoast, Penn
obtained from the duke of York
the control of Delaware, and un
til the Revolution these two
provinces were under the same
proprietary government. Quar
rels with Maryland over bound
aries caused a formal survey
to be made by two surveyors,
Mason and Dixon, and it was
this which became famous dur
ing the Civil war as the Mason
and Dixon line, the dividing
mark between the slave and the
free states.

Article No. 1
THE PURPOSE OF OIL
Machinery of any kind transmits
power by movable members. These
parts must slide in guides or bearings
and they work most efficiently when
their motion excites the least fric
tional resistance. Their
ground surfaces appear perfectly
smooth to touch and sight, but un
der the microscope show marked rid
ges and irregularities. When two
such surfaces come Into direct con
tact at high speeds and under heavy
pressure they grind and abrade each
other like two pieces of sand paper.
No machinery can long survive
such wear and tear, To protect the
finished surfaces, it is necessary to
insert between them a film of oil.
This oil cushion keeps apart the op
posing minute ridges. When the
parts move, they split the film into
“tangential" layers which slip or
flow upon each other with little re
sistance. Thus the basic purpose of
lubrication is accomplished by sub
stituting the easy Internal friction
of oil for the destructive sliding
friction of metal.
It Is more important to maintain
this oil film between the bearing
surfaces than to keep fuel in the gas
oline tank. But If the oil is of un
even or incorrect quality, contains
impurities, or evaporates quickly,
the delicate film is easily destroyed.
Then the metals come into partial or
complete contact, are scored, and
sometimes even fused by the heat.
