Many drivers do not use grease or

the ordinary way. When the follow

NOTER JURIST HAS
STRENUOUS DRIVE
Carries Hunting Party, Camp Outfit
and Game Through Roughest
Part Of Wyoming.

Judge V. H.. Stone of Landers,
Wyo., one of the best known lawyers
and lecturers in the West, returned
recently from an outing trip into the
wilds Of Wyoming with few bust
ness associates; and gives very in
teresting account Of his experience
in motoring in that country. The
journey proved quite strenuous one
for Judge Stone, who undertook the
job Of pilot for the party.
They left Landers early in the
morning in a new Oakland Sensible
Six automobile, with Judge Stone,
who had had only one Lesson in driv-
ing, at the wheel. Aboard the car
were four other men, two big suit
cases and camp beds, making big
load for such a hard climb as was
ahead.
The first stage Of the journey was
to Crooks Gap, 80 miles away, over
Beaver Hill, which is the worst climb
in Wyoming, and the rest of the way
through sand. ~ had never driven
car a mile before this trip" said
the judge, afterward, "and the way
our Sensible Six went over that Bea-
yer Hill and through the heavy sand
with the cargo we had, was certainly
a revelation" From Crooks Gap,
the party went on to Rawlins, 100
miles further and arrived there in
time for six o'clock dinner.
Coming back, nearly three months
later, was even harder test of the
pulling power of the car. The load
consisted of Judge Stone and his four
friends, one buck deer that weighed
258 pounds dressed, one 55-pound
coyote, and the suitcases and camp
bends. The road was then trench
of snow and mud and it says some
thing for the overhead valve, Al
horse power motor in the Sensible
Six that Betsy" as Juge Stone af-
fectionately calls his car, came
through without "a stutter or bubble
and mostly on high.
Anybody who knows that coun-
try" said NJ. C. Mann, the local Oak
land dealer, "can appreciate Judge
Stones achievement as "green"
driver In three months, he has driv-
en- his car more than 1000 miles, and
all her work has been over killing
hills and grilling sand, and sometimes
through "gumbo' that rolled up so
that the wheels of the car would lock
unless cleaned frequently.

OIL OR GREASE?

There are many motorists having
difficulty in keeping their cars or gar
ages clean owing to the fact that oil
and grease seem to leak continually
from the gearbox and rear axle hous-
ings. Where oil should be used the
unwise motorist often puts in hard
grease, which in comparatively
short time may be worked up into the
recesses of the case where it will do
no good at all.
There are many gearsets, Of course,
which are designed so that hard
grease can be used more advantage
ously than, flowing oil. But, if the
manufacturer recommends flowing
oil it should be used without question.
The greater amount of oil-leaking
trouble experienced by motorists is
due to the use of too much oil in the
gearbox and rear axle housing. In a
geafbox in which fluid oil is used,
the amount of lubricant maintained
therein should be no higher than the
center Of the lowermost gearshaft.
This pertains to gearsets in which the
shafts are either in horizontal or a
vertical plane. In gearbox having
the gearshafts in the same horizontal
plane the oil should reach the center
of both gearshafts; and through only
the lower shaft Of gearset having
the shafts in the same vertical plane
will be partly submerged in the lubri-
cant, this shaft and its gears when in
motion will throw plenty Of oil onto
the other working mechanisms of the
case. If too much oil is used it only
tends to work out through the bear
ings, causing a waste of oil, and a
dirty car or garage floor.
The same applies to the lubrica-
ton of the rear axle, the only differ
ence being that the oil which escapes
not only tends to render the brakes
ineffective, but often the oil is thrown
out onto the wheels, tires and car
body, giving them all dirty appear
ance, damaging the latter two, and
making considerable work for the car
washer. Should a reduction of the
amount of oil used prove ineffective,
have new felt washers fitted to the
axle ends. This should cure the trou-
Bile by all means. Motor Age.
