TO SELECT ROUTE.
FOR MOTOR TRAIL
TO SAN FRANCISCO
Midway Trail and the Lin
coin Highway Suggested
for Trip of Famous Motor
Caravan.

Manager Shank of the Shank Auto
company of this city announces thai
arrangements have been made to de
terrnine which route the famous mo
to-. caravan of the San Francisco ad
vertising club to St. Louis, with the
Herald Republican motoring depart
ment of Salt Lake. Two routes are
open, the Midway trail and the Lin
coin highway.
Because of the importance Of the
caravan journey, for which the Herald
Republican trip will be pathfinder
almost the entire nation is looking to
Salt Lake for the answer of-"which
road between Salt Lake and Denver
should be taken at this time of year?''
The features which enter into this
stunt. to make 1T the most unusual
and important ever attempted in the
west, are these:
No caravan of motor cars has ever
attempted to negotiate the difficult
and cold mountain passes between the
Utah and Colorado capital as early
as May.
Individual motor tourists who have
undertaken the drive in other years
because Of the lateness Of the last
winter, say it cannot be accomplished
The San Francisco Advertising club
caravan h s determined to go and the
best route must be chosen impartially
The San Francisco club, at the ma
tional convention of advertising clubs
at st. Louis, the terminus of the May
trip, will gain the 1918 convention.
That convention, at San Francisco
probably this early next year, will be
a mecca for autoists and all the coun-
try is wondering whether a motor trip
so early across the mountains is feas-
ible.
Particularly are the eyes of Denver,
st. Louis, San Francisco and all the
cities along the route fixed on the
Herald Republican pathfinding trip as
this will answer the question of its
practieability.
The pathfinding trip. officially au-
thorized by j. A. Houlihan, secretary
of the San Francisco Ad cluo and

HINTS ON CAR LuBRlcATloE
Not Enough Attention Is Given to Mat.
ter by Drivers of Machines
Drain the Crank Case.

By H. L. THOMSON, Oklahoma Experi-
ment Station.J
Not enough attention Is given by
drivers of automobiles to the chang
ing of the lubricating oil in the crank
case. Fresh Oil is poured in the cranl
case from time to time, but no thought
is given to what happens to this Oil.
The oil breaks down into gum and
carbon as 1t wears out, neither of
which will lubricare. Pouring fresh oil
into this mixture simply dilutes 1t.
There is also water, which will sepa.
rate from oil into the bottom Of the
crank case, as well as dirt and ma.
terial which will have a tendency a
clog up the straiper OF the oil pump
and cause serious trouble.
Once in every 1000 miles the crank
case should be drained of oil and The
oil strainer cleaned. A gallon of kero.
sene is put in and engine run fof
about a minute, and the kerosene
drained off. 1t is surprising how black
and dirty this kerosene will be, and
what dirt 1t will bring out with 1T.
Then when fresh oil is put In the
crank case the engine has a clean oil
Under such treatment the bearings Will
stand up for long time without talk
ing up. The wear on the whole inter
nal mechanism of the motor will be
much less. In addition to this, the
driver will save many dollars In fuel
bills. Friction is greatly increased on
the inside of the engine when carbon
and gum are present in the lubricant,
and It will take more power to run
IN engine, and the engine will have
less power to drive the car. Changing
the Oil as often as this is apparently
an expensive procedure, but really Is
the cheapest insurance for long life
that the engine can have.

BEER AND STUPIDITY

"The most sinister thing about beer
Is its apparent harmlessness," says
DIR. Edwin f. Bowers "Whisky, wine,
gin, brandy and other so-called hard
drinks long hid behind the Biblical
bulwark, for the stomach's sake At
last science and common sense COM
bined to prove that they have no pc
culiar medicinal value. Then beer
picked up the fallen banner. The food
values Of beer and ale have been pro-
claimed so widely and entertainingly
that the average person fatuously be-
lieves in them. Besides, beer is sup
posedly the beverage of that truly neu-
trail country lying between sobriety and
iDebriety. 1t is the cup of compro-
mise. I can drink beer all night with
out feeling it, is common enough
remark.
"But can you?
| Modern scientific research has
shown that, contrary to general belief,
beer is proportionately much more
noxious than are wines or liquors. The
Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress, a con-
clave of many of the most famous ply
sicians in Europe, concluded that.
while spirituous liquors make man
brutal and dulls his Judgment, an ade-
! quate amount of beer makes him SLOW
witted, and abolishes judgment. While
wine or brandy in sufficient quantity
makes man crazy, beer tends to make
him stupid"

Mistake of Many Owners.

A mistake which many owners make
is to rub the mud and dust off the high
ly fini he'd surface with wet sponge.
The particles of dust and grit thus
wired off form an abrasive which
scratches the mirror-like surface of a
new car, and care should, therefore,
be taken to flow a gentle stream OF
water over the surface to be washed
so that the mud will be loosened and
the dust rinsed off. The sponge should
only be used to assist the flow of this
dust and mud. After the car has been
thoroughly rfnsed with clean, cold wa
ter, a well-wrung chamois skin should
be used to remove the excess moisture
and to assist in uniform drying.
But the complete soap and water
bath for car is at least a time-con-
Stunning and troublesome operation,
and, especially in winter time, it is an
uncomfortable if not dangerous occu-
patton. 1t is little to be wondered at,
therefore, that many preparations have
been placed upon the market to re-
move dust, mud and grease and to pol

The ordinary racing car, because of
lts shape, creates air eddies and cur.
rents that force the car to push mass
OF air along Gin front of it and pull
along another mass in back Of 1t by
suction. 1t requires a certain amount
OF power to move these masses of air.
This leaves less for the actual propul-
sion Of the vehicle whose speed is cor
respondingly decreased. Hence great

Renew Neglected Car.

The car which has not been cared
for properly or which is beginning to
give evidence CT the need of a new
coat of paint or varnish can be tenn
porari'y rehabilitated as often as de-
sired by the use of one of the above
mentioned cleaners and polishers, for
the reason that 10 water is used with
them. They are applied either by
means of soft rag or in the form of
fine spray from an atomizer and are
used directly on the mud and dust.
Included in the composition of such
cleaners is an oily chemical which
coats each particle of dust and mud
SO thoroughly that it is rendered harm
less and cannot scratch the surface of
the car.
