POOR LUBR|CAT|ON
PROVES EXPENSIVE
Oil Is Cheaper Than Metal,
Declares Chester Porter
field, Who Is an Expert.

There is, perhaps. no one thing
which is the primary cause of more ex-
pense in maintaining an automobile
than the very same thing, which is most
easily avoided. and that is. insufficient
or improper fabrication" says Chester
Porterfield. who has made close study
of the subject
1T is not possible" he continues, "to
go into details as to just what parts re-
quire fabrication as no two makes OF
cars are alike. The user should Impress
it upon his own mind that whenever
one part moves upon or in contact with
another friction is created. Friction
means wear and the wear will be of
the metal itself unless oil is there to
receive 1t. Oil Is cheaper than metal.
The use of too much is better than too
little, but just enough rs best.
Proper fabrication of the motor is
most important. insufficient oil means
wear on the piston and cylinder walls.
overheating. and burned out bearings.
Too much oil means carbon formations
on piston heads and combustion cham
bers, fouled spark plugs, and an OBJ
noxious smoking exhaust.
Many Systems.
Different makers use different sys-
TENS for engine fabrication. On sys-
TENS having a feed pipe leading to
each part requiring fabrication each
feed must be adjusted separately after
the amount of oil required has been de-
termined. 1t is necessary to watch
these feeds to be sure that none of
them become clogged up and that the
parts served are receiving the correct
amount of oil. On cars using an auto
matte splash system for the engine IT
is simply necessary to see that the sup
ply in the crank case is maintained at
the correct level by whatever means Is
provided, so that the distribution will
be neither too light nor too heavy.
Efficient engine fabrication depends
to large extent on the quality Of oil
used. There are many kinds of oil.
good. bad and Indifferent. Get the best.
as there is none too good, and II will
be cheapest in the end.
THE bevel gear housing in the rear
axle, the transmission case and steering
sicnally to see that they contain suf-
ficient lubricant The best lubricant, as
rule, for these parts is a mixture of
cup grease and oil of such consistency
that it is Just thin enough to flow, but
not too thin. II too thick the gears
will simply cut path in 1t and it will
not lubricate properly.
On Amount.
'In the matter of grease cups and oil
holes. the frequency of attention re-
quired depends, of course, upon how
much the car is driven. II a car is con-
stantly on the go. the grease cups and
oil holes should receive attention every
day.
Too much oil at these points 1. bet
ter than too little. In cars not pro-
v!ded with grease cups and oil holes to
draw attention to the fabrication, the
user should observe carefully to see that
every part moving in contact with
another part is oiled judiciously. The
squeaking of springs can usually be OBJ
waited by jacking up the car so that
the spring leaves will separate slightly
and introduce some graphite mixed with
oil between the leaves"

Leave Driver Alone, Says
Washington Motorist

Let me offer a few cautionary
warnings" says a Washington motor
list. who has driven a car for many
years. Even II danger seems imin-
ent or an accident practically unavoid-
able and you are passenger. do not
attempt to lay hands on the steering
wheel or interfere with the driver In
any way. 1t may be taken for granted
that he is doing his best and that your
mistaken efforts at assistance will still
further complicate matters and merely
hasten the catastrophe which you are
seeking to avert"

NOVEL ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN STARTED

Plan of Flanders Co.

Another of those telegraphic auto
mobile advertising campaigns. such
as have made the Flanders-Pelletier
combination famous among national
advertisers. Is under way.
This time 1t is in the form Of daily
bulletins published in the leading
newspapers in sixty-five cities, in
cluding The Times, in Washington.

"50-6" cars there are left unsold ''in
the world" on that day. BY "in the
world" Is meant all new cars in the
hands OF district branch managers and
dealers. as well as the balance Of the
1913 output still unfinished in the fac

to all Maxwell dealers.

big Maxwell plant in Detroit. With a
daily capacity of ten cars, 1t is easy
to figure that four days will more

so. the big advertising campaign with
so much speed back Of 1t. This Is the
interesting part of the matter. The
campaign Is not to dispose Of the
company's output-that has been prac-
tically disposed Of. There Is a dealer
waiting for every car as 1t comes
from the factory. The Flanders idea
Is to see that not a car is left in the
hands of a dealer, however dead that
dealer may be, In fifteen days, at

MAKES DECISION IN
FAMOUS WILL CASE
Contest Over Mary p. Nc
Kean Estate Ends; Undue
Influence Charged.

A final decision In the noted will con-
test case of Oscar w. NIoyle against
Ruth and Theodore Mexican. which at
tracted much attention In the district
court last winter, was rendered yester-
day by Judge NJ. l.. Ritchie.
In II the charge OF undue Influence
made against Ruth Mexican. one OF the
defendants. is found baseless, and the
same charge against Theodore Mexican Is
sustained.
Acting through Oscar w, Moyle. as ad-
ministrator OF the estate. some OF the
Ing moderate fortune to Ruth and
Theodore Mexican, brought suit to set
aside the provisions OF the VIII on the
ground that undue influence had been
used by the defendants TO estrange their
mother from her other children and
grandchildren 1t was alleged that be-
cause OF this Influence the lions share
OF the estate had been given TO the do
PENDANTS.
After a. hearing before jury the case
was dismissed, but second hearing was
allowed,
Among other things. ii Is charged that
the defendants induced their aged mother
to join the Mormon church for the pur-
pose OF strengthening their Influence up.
on her. AS to this charge, the court
finds for the defendants. pointing out
that the question Of religion could have
had no bearing in the matter.
Taking UP the case OF Ruth Mckean'
the court TuIel ltldl Lllete was nv SNi-
dence to show any designedly malicious
attempt on her part to Influence her her
mother against the other heirs. ON the
contrary, the court observes that her ac--
tions toward her mother were borne sole
Is out OF regard for the welfare OF her
mother.
Quite the contrary is the ruling In the
case OF Theodore Mexican. who, II Is
held by the court. took advantage Of the
differences existing between Ruth NC
kean and the ether heirs, TO worm him :
self into the good graces OF his mother
for his own profit.
In this connection the decision says:
He no doubt long ago discovered
his mothers intentions concerning
Ruth and his cupdlty prompted him
to try to attach himself in some way
to the movement Of his mothers
mind In favor of Ruth,
In conclusion the decision reads
Ny conclusion is that Ruth has
made a sufficient defense against the
prlma facIe case made against her.
but that Theodore has not.
A decree concerning the property In
volved, drawn according to the decision,
will be entered later.
