TO SAVE GASOLINE

AS long as the present conditions
hold in the gasoline market automobile
owners should remove the oil from
their motors and put in fresh sup
plies every 500 to 1000 miles, is the
substance of a short article in this
months issue of the Haynes Pioneer,
the monthly publication of the Haynes
Automobile Company. 1t is fact
to be counted on, the article cautions,
that the gasoline sold to-day for mo-
tor fuel will inevitably get into the
oil supply, and the resultant mixture
is of low viscosity with poor lubri-
eating properties. The unvolatilized
gasoline which is sucked into the cylin-
ders on starting a cool motor is the
almost common cause by which motor
lubricants are diluted below the point
of effectiveness. The gasoline grad
ually cuts the lubricants oil and works
past the piston and piston rings down
into the oil reservoir at the base OF
the motor The oil. thinned by gaso.
line, is unable to form a viscous filn
on friction surfaces which the oilire
system reaches. The greatest danger
from dilute oil and incidentally thu
most serious in it's effects is scorine
the cylinders and pistons, although
the consequences of this injury hav'
lately been lessened by installation
of aluminium pistons.

A PLATFORM OF, PROTECTION

The outstanding feature of the Re-
publican platform is protection. Not
merely protection in the restricted
tariff sense, but protection for AM

ernmental applications of the power
of control and direction. 1t is a
document that speaks for "Amerlca
first" in every line. 1t does not con-
Germ tself with humanity at large,
except in it's relations to the United
States. 1t does not assume any
benevolent direction ct the moral
conduct of the universe. 1t does not
put US in the absurd and hypocriticai
pose Of divinely constituted leader
pose Of cosmic altruism. 1t takes the
very proper position that the purpose
of American Government is to gov.
ern America, and it rightly assumes
that the duty of the government be-
gins and ends in the protection OF
American citizens and in the promo
tion of their happiness and prosper.

The young winter which struck the
city Sunday was not exactly received
with joy by the people. The storm be-
gan in the night and continued all
through the day. For the most part the
snow melted as it fell but after a time
it commenced to pile up ION electric
wires and to make trouble all around.
Although no serious wire trouble had
been reported up to a late hour. The
electrics managed to keep running
practically all the time, but it was very
disagreeable out Of doors, the wind
driving the snow in binding rush so
that it was almost impossible to make
progress against it. The snow will
doubtless be a help in getting the frost
out Of the ground early and will be
welcomed for that, even if it was q
very cold storm for this time Of the
year.
