200 Will Train at
Princeton University For
Y Work to Aid Allies

Two hundred men. successful
lawyers, physicians, businessmen,
clergymen, actors and other profess
sional and mercantile "aces," will go
to Princeton University Monday to
undergo a weeks intensive training
in preparation for work overseas as
Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries with tile
American expeditionary forces.
Twice each month 200 men of ap-
proximately the same caliber are
sent to Princeton's intensive train
ing camp, to put in week of what
every man of them has declared to
be the hardest but most delightful
work he has ever done in his life.
Not a few of the 200 range in age
all the way between 35 and so, and
some of them have never before in
all their lives, done a days athle-
tics.
Already $500 Y. NJ. C. A. men
have passed through Princeton's in

and as Pershing's Army grows. IT
is expected that this army of "aids

crease with equal space.

fabrication Important
in the Use of a Can

When overhauling a car the wise
motorist will not overlook the slight
est chance for a needed repair or
replacement Especially now that a
shortage of both new and used cars
is certain, the greatest care in keep
ing the car in good running order is
imperative.
Some of the most important parts
of a car and the parts most sus-
ceptible to wear If not properly
watched, are the bearings. Bear
ing failures are usually due either
to improper adjustment,or improper
fabrication. One of the first rules
of bearing fabrication is that the lu-
bricant must not contain any water,
acid, alkali or any kind of abrasive.
Such substances will greatly affect
the highly polished surfaces Of races,
balls and rollers.
According to engineers of the
Joseph Dixon Crucible Company. the
most satisfactory bearing lubricant
is their mixtures of oils or grease
and graphite. Selected fake graphite
is used in Dixon's Graphite automo-
bile lubricants because of its ability
to fill up minute holes in the poll
ished surface of the bearings. 1t is
said of fake graphite thus said as a
lubricant, that the more it is
rubbed, the smoother it becomes"
The oil or grease is used more or
less as a vehicle to carry the
graphite to the surface of the con-
tact.
