eaae that 43 per cent of th supposed
oil In the crankcas waa nothing more
nor less than gasoline which had not
been consumed and had leaked down

of good lubricating oil was found oil
that Is really suited for lubrication of
the cylinder walls and piston rings,

had been In the crankcase only nine

Solving Difficulty.
The dlfllculty, say the experts. Is to
be solved only In two ways more fre
quent changing of the oil In the crnnk
ease and greater care In the purchase
and use of low grade or "stale" gaso
line. "It Is not uncommon," says the edi
tor of Motor Age, "for a car to stnrt
on a tour with the gasoline tank filled
with a good grade of gnsolln ma

haps, or until a fresh supply of gaso
line is tuken on at some small out-of-town
garage or country store. Then,

"There Is nothing more distressing
than the gloom of impending engine
trouble. Sot think of the gasoline first

power loss. The trouble caused by
poor gasoline Is an Illusive one and

bis hands on the difficulty.

" "In trouble of this kind, to facilitate
itarting, one should drain a half to a
cupful of gasoline from the float cham

In 1915, with the reduction of the
Ford priee to $565, The automobile
world was satisfied Fords were all
right and that year the firm sold 613.
In 1916 the price was again reduced,
this time to $515 ,and with a further
reduction t0 $415 in 1917, tho firm put
out 600 and could have sold half as
many more only the output was re

In 1918 the Ford factory was working
mostly . for the government aud the
firm sold only 250. But with too etuse

within a few months there will be
