War Tax Has Not
Hurt Sales of
Motor Cars

The 3 per cent war tax on the sell
ing price of motor cars has had no
bad effects on the trade, according to
c. II. Larson, head of the local Odds
mobile Company and president of the
Motor Club.
"What gave promise of becoming a
grave problem for the dealer TO solve
never became problem at all Mr..
Larson declares. 81 can say with the
utmost candor that automobile agents
in this city, almost without exception,
counted at first upon the tax as 4
lettering and depressing factor in
business. That was thought TO be
the normal reaction. As a matter Of
fact, nothing OF the kind hiss hap
pened.
"The prospective purchaser very
frequently does not even refer TO the
3 per cent in discussing with the
salesman whether he wants the car.
The government has expressed its
need for a vast revenue, and the man
about 10 acquire an auto does not

By II. Clifford Brokaw

The fabrication Of the modern auto
engine is so simple that most owners
do not realize the Importance Of it.
It is the things which normally take
care of themselves that are most likely
to be neglected.; the things about
which we know the least, when they
do so wrong, cause the greatest dam
age, not the things with which we have
become familiar through frequent tin
kering.
The instruction books issued By the
manufacturers say 10 inspect the oil
reservoir Of the engine each time be-
fore leaving the garage to see il the
required amount of oil is there and this
inspection should not be neglected.
With most owners it is "by guess and
besorry."
The most usual scheme of engine
fabrication used to-day is to carry a
certain amount Of oil in compartment
in the bottom Of the crank case, called
the sump. There is a pump which OPP
crates whenever the engine is run
ming, and which pumps the oil to some
sort of an indicator on the dash, so
that the driver can see II it is circu-
lating. From this point it flows by
gravity to the splash pans located
under The connecting rods. and above
the stump. Here the oil is held at such
a level that when the crank shaft re-
wolves the ends of the connecting rods
dip into the oil and splash it over prac-
tically all the working parts of the
engine. This splashing and agitation
of the oil create a fog of oil in the
crank case, and the rapid motion of
the piston and other parts circulates
the vaporized oil over the moving parts
SO that film of oil is deposited on
those parts where the splash itself does
not reach.
The pump circulates more oil than
is used, and the splash pans are ar
ranged with overflow openings, so that
the excess simply drops back into the
stump and again is passed through the
system by the pump.

It Is this oil which makes the engine
20. It is the effect OF the banana peel
under your heel, in that it makes the
parts slip over each other easily. When
we'll "slicked" the engine runs. In ad-
dition TO this, the oil between the pis-
ton and the cylinder wall makes a seal
which prevents gas from leaking by
on compression and explosion strokes.
II too much oil is fed great deal VIII
be drawn past the piston on the sue
ton stroke and get in the cylinder,
where it will burn, forming carbon and
giving out smoke from the exhaust
III this type of system the principal
causes Of trouble are too much oil IN
the stump, so that the level reaches
above the splash pans, and such large
projections on the connecting rods that
too much oil is splashed when the level
is normal. In the latter case the
trouble often may be remedied by mar
rowing the projections OF the connect
ING rods which dip into the OIL II is
not wise to shorten them, because 1T IS
very difficult to get an even graduation
that will insure sufficient oil without
giving too much. II the oil should run
out while the car is in use the engine
will get stiff and lose its power, and
the friction of the unlubricated parts
will generate enough heat to melt out
the Innings of the bearings, and If the
engine runs for any length Of time 1t
may be wrecked beyond repair.
This means that, although the oiling
system needs very little or no atten-
ton, it should be inspected each time
before leaving the garage and on the
road occasionally. if long trips are
taken. to make sure that oil is present
in sufficient quantity and is circulating
Oil in a sense does wear out, and in
this sort of a system it should be re-
placed with new oil occasionally. Some
of it will work up by the piston and be-
burned up, and some will work out
around the different parts of the en-
CINE and be lost, but most Of it will
remain in the stump longer than It is
advisable to use it. All of the gaso-
lene that is taken into the cylinder is
not consumed usually. Some Of II IS
forced by the piston on the compress
sion stroke into the crank case, where
it condenses and mixes with the oil.
This thins the oil sometimes to point

When Well "2icked" the Engine Runs Smoothly

where it has little or no lubricatine
value. Also, the oil on the inside OF
the piston head burns and drops down
into the crank case, and there is some
wear of the moving parts, which causes
a deposit of metal in the oil. These
things, together with the small amount
of road dust sucked in through. the
breather pipe, make the oil unit for
use in short time
In the circulating splash system,
where the oil is used over and over
again, the oil should be drained out en-
tirely about every 1000 miles, more or
less, depending upon the grade OF the
oil and the fit of the pistons. These
things all enter into the lubricating
value of the oil after 1000 miles per-
formance:
Grade of the oil.
Fit of the pistons.
Temperature at which the engine is
run.
Grade Of the gasolene.
Adjustment of the carburetor.
There are some other things, but the
above are the chief factors. II would
be we'll to acquire the habit of examin-
ing the oil every few days to determine
just how it stands UP in the particular
engine.
After the oil is drained out half
gallon or so Of kerosene should be
poured into the sump and the engine
run about one minute or less, the idea
being to get d complete circulation of
it through the lubricating system. The
kerosene should then be drained of
and the splash pans under the connect
ing rods be wiped out if possible. The
screen of the oil pump should be re-
moved and washed carefully in kero-
sene and replaced. Then the stump
should be filled to the proper level with
fresh oil.
Outside of getting under the car to
remove the drain plug, ,his is not a
dirty job. Still, one would better put
on old clothes and overalls to prevent
greasing up a perfectly good suit.
While oil is expensive, it is poor
economy to use it beyond its useful
stage, because damage may be done to
the machinery which will cost much
more than years supply of good oil.
