OILDAG

This new lubricant is Deflocculat-
ed Graphite diffused in oil. Defloc-
culated Graphite brings new prin-
ciple and new possibilities to the field
of fabrication, and marks a modern
advance quite in keeping with the
progress made in the power and ma
chine fields. Graphite in the defloc-
culated form renders possible the use
OF this valuable solid lubricant with
full assurance that vastly superior re-
suits will be obtained and the cost of
operation materially reduced, as one
gallon of Oildag will do the work Of
at least three gallons Of oil. NFs
The disintegrated graphite .ikr6ni
which Differentiated Graphite ishade
is so fine that it takes 1913 of the par
ticles, lying side by side, to extend
an inch, whereas it requires 338,704
particles of Differentiated Graphite
to extend the same distance. Thus
i is evident the disintegrated graph
tie is 1000 times greater in diameter
han the Deflocculated Graphite.
These are figures difficult of human
comprehension. For it is hard to un-
derstand how, after graphite has
been mechanically reduced much fin
er than the finest pastry or bread
flour in use, the particles can be
made so much finer Still, this is
what is accomplished by defloccula-
ton. All of us are constantly inhal-
ing very minute particles of dust
which we can see in the atmosphere
only when ray Of sunlight shoots
across a room. If quantity of De-
flocculated Graphite were floating in
the same atmosphere, it would not be
visible under the same conditions, nor
are the molecules of Deflocculated
Graphite visible with an ordinary mi
croscope. Under these circumstances
users of Deflocculated Graphite, as
it is presented in Oildag, need have
no fear that this graphite will clog
their filters or mechanical oilers OIL
prove anything but extremely help.
full in assisting to perfect fabrication
When deflocculated, the particles Of
graphite are not subject to the laws
of gravity as we understand them
but take the collodial state.
A demonstration of 0ildag will be
given at the Liberal Auto Supply
Company garage next Saturday, al
expert being present to give informa
ton on the subject of fabrication.

HELPFUL HINTS
TO MOTORISTS

A cracked water jacket is not as
serious trouble as one might imagine.
The cylinder should be removed and
the inside examined to make sure that
there is no leak into the cylinder. II
there is, that must be repaired also.
If not, the leak in the water jacket
can be welded and the casting made
serviceable again. So
If you wish to experiment before
having the above repair made, try
rusting the edges together. Make a
strong solution of sal-ammonia and
water and pour into water jacket. As
it works out through the leak it fills
it with rust and so gradually closes il
up.
If blow hole (sand pocket) sud.
denly developes in the cylinder it will
cause great deal of annoyance be.
fore the trouble is located. The cool
ing system will overhead repeatedly
even though you are doing none of
the things which ordinarily causes a
motor to overhead. So if you are
troubled with overheating and can
not locate any other cause see if there
is not slight leak from cylinder to
water jacket.
Remember to inspect the steering
gear once week. More harm can
be done by failure Of the steering
gear than by any other accident. Look
it over carefully and see if each bolt
is properly secured. Watch the lost
motion of the steering wheel, and if
it begins to increase find the cause
Immediately and remove it.
At the same time keep a sharp eye
on the alignment Of the front wheels.

would have voted unanimously for

Never had such a gripping SER
mon against war been preached here
as that film. 1t showed first peace
full people, the children playing
around the fireside, the farmers and
their wives in the fields and with
Eheir flocks, and the youngsters play
ing in the meadows. Then it showed
the national parliment discussing war
measures. 1t showed the plea for
peace in the parliment, the over
whelming victory of the militarists,
the stern declaration of the king for
war.
And then it showed War, ruthless,
barbaric, in all its hideous cruelty.
1t showed the compulsory draft,
young men being. torn from their
families. 1t showed terrific battle
scenes, cities bombarded and burned,
the battles of the airplanes, the at
tack by the battle cruisers, the blow
ing up of unarmed liners by SUBJ
marines, and all of the h 'deousness of
modern war.
Then came the revolt on the part
of the women of the land, the moth
ers of men, who forming themselves
into nation wide living protest
against the war, under the sign of the
cross, marched to the capitol, to die
if need be that peace be restored.
And they won.

true and certain. To enumerate the
various sorts of clubs in which wo-
men are interested might take some
time, and yet when the list was fin
ished, one would still be justified in
asking: "And why not a woman's

The question has been asked and
thought about, with the result that in
many of the eastern cities, the unique
events in the club circles are meet
ings Of the newly organized motor
clubs. The membership consists not
only of women who drive or own cars,
but of all who are interested to hear
and learn about the mysteries which
lie hidden benath the highly polished
hood of an automobile. They read
and study about the construction and
operation of cars, exchange opinions
and experiences and are frequently
addressed by an expert well versed in
the mechanical features contained
therein, and they employ every posi-
BILE method to familiarize themselves
with the popular art Of motoring.
