WATER IN CRANK CASE

This is the time of year when water
condensation in the crank case as
sumes serious proportions. Tie water
IS lroduct of combustion, and it
makes its way dove p"si .:e I.-h n
rings into the era IL case, where it
mingles with the oil and is quickly
churned up into IN emulsion. which
has little or no value as n lubricant.
In warmer weather the water in the
form of steam may be blown out of the
breather; but when the crank case is
being played upon by cold breeze the
steam condenses irto water which con-
teammates the OIL The remedy lies, of
course, in more frequent changes OF
oil. The lubricant should be drawn off
about once in four weeks and filtered

creases in seriousness with the num-
Der of cylinders. In some eight and
twelve -cylinder engines as much rs d

MONDAY IS LAST
DAY To ANSWER
XMAS ROLL CALL
Extra effort To Be Made To
Place Phoenix And Mari
copa County Whey They
Belong On Red Cross List

The whole Central Arizona Chapter
has SO far enrolled through the Christ
was Roll Call of the Red Cross a little
more than half the number of ex-
pected and not one-third of the pos
sible number, estimate based upon the
population represented in the district.
Saturday, which was planned to be
next to the biggest day for the Poll
Call, was almost unproductive Of re-
suits because of the rain which was
general all over the chapters territory.
II will, therefore, take a tremendous
finish to give the chapter the abso
lutely required membership to con-
unue the work OF the Red Cross in this
district for the new year,
Monday is the last day of the Roll
Call. With at least 10000 people in
the territory under the jurisdiction of
the Central Arizona chapter, the total
enrolment so far is only about II, 900.
Phoenix is making a very poor show
ing, for not even half of the companies
and firms of the city are as yet dis
playing 100 per cent emblems showing
that each of their employees had "a
heart and a dollar"
One Firm Takes 100
In some instances empolyes have
taken out memberships for all those
of their force who could not afford the
expense and one firm-Moore & Me-
Lellan-took out 100 memberships to
help out in the good work. 1t is hoped
on Monday to have all of the companies
and firms in the city on the 100 per
cent list.
The residential district has not done
even as well as the business section.
While the downtown part of the city
has not done what was expected in
some parts of the residential sections
relatively few have joined, even know
ing that this is planned to be the last
call for 1919 for the Red Cross and
that the local chapter will get all OTIS
funds for relief work for the men in
service for 1919 from it's share of the
Roll Call revenue.
Yuma, Pima and several other coun-
ties have made better reports in pro-
porto nto population than the Central
Arizona chapter has been able to make
and volunteer workesr are asked to
come to general headquarters, room s.
Central school building, Monday morn
ing to bring a brisk finish to the cam
paign.
Ends Late Monday Night
The work will be continued until late
Monday night and it is hoped that
by a supreme effort something really
Tine in the way of Roll Call enrolment
will finally be accomplished.
The publicity writer for the Christ
mas Roll Gail frankly admits that he
got the names twisted in the story
published yesterday morning about the
two little girls who osld blotters at two

PISTON PIN PLAY

1t is sometimes a little difficult to
determine whether there has been
wear in the piston pin bearing. With
the piston pin in place and the lower
crankcase half down. or a side plate
off remove a valve cap or spark plug
and turn the engine over, so that the
piston is at top dead center, in such
a position that a screwdriver may be
pressed down on top of the piston,
while with bar the piston may be
pushed upward from the under side.
So by alternately forcing up and down
any play existing may be detected.
Inspect oil and gasoline connections
every week.

CANTEEN COMMITTEE
MAY CHANGE LUNCHES
HIGH PRICE OF BUTTER AND
SUGAR EMBARGO MAY STOP
GIVING CAKES

On Monday afternoon the canteen
committee prepared lunches for a
number Of soldiers scheduled to leave
on that day for camp in California
for special limited service. No So
Letting was done for the lunches as
the articles were hastily gathered on
short notice.
Owing to the shortage of sugar and
the high price of butter, the committee
may feel compelled to change the con-
tents of the boxes SO as to call for
fewer cakes and cookies and home
made candies. Articles like pencils,
post cards, and extra apples may be
substituted. It is hoped, however,
that it will never be necessary to
omit sandwiches as they are a very
popular element of the lunches.
In future those who wish to contrib
ute but who can not give articles
made with sugar and butter are cor
daily invited to donate money. No
matter how small the sum is land this
means as low as five cents) the COM
mittee will be glad to receive any gift.
Yesterday young man left town
to join party at Colville to entrain
there for the army. To the regret of
the canteen committee, it was not
aware of the calling of the drafted
man until he boarded the train at the
station, and it had only the chance to
extend to him and his wife and child
rem the good wishes Of the Red Cross
of Moscow. If his going had been
reported by friends or relatives to
the canteen committee, a fine lunch
box would have been prepared for
him even tho he did not belong strictly
to the Latah county group. If he
goes through Latah county, he is we'll
entitled to this courtesy.
The committee earnestly hopes that
in future it will be kept more fully
informed of the movements of drafted |
and limited service men. Those who
have any information about a pros
pective departure are urged to tele-
phone that information to phone num-
Der SO at any time. A member of the
committee will be at the station at
he proper time to wish the soldier
goodbye.
