Smooth Bearings Not SO
Under Magnifying Glass

Some motorists wonder why with the
smooth, finely ground bearings with
which automobiles are equipped now
adays it is necessary to use lubricant.
A strong magnifying glass held against
the surface of a bearing, especially a
new one, will reveal the answer-myr-
lads of minute depressions and protru-
sions covering the metal surface of the
bearing. 1t is obvious that something
is required to fill up this roughness, to
present perfectly smooth contact sur
face. Hence. lubricant is used
Ordinary greases or oils are not suf-
ticient as they soon squeeze out when
the bearing becomes warm Garage
men and automobile mechanics recon-
mend lubricant containing a flake
graphite, as it is the only substance
that will adequately fill the uneven sur
face and stick there despite the rub
bling and the heat. In fact, the harder
it is rubbed the smoother it becomes.
If car were to be run without a
lubricant i'm the bearings it would
screech fiendishly. Plain grease or oil
stops the screech, but they both squeeze
out under pressure, friction sets in and
the bearing eventually wears out. The
Joseph Dixon Crucible Company worked
on this principle when it brought
out its graphite automobile lubri-
cantS.

The supply of trucks is limited and

Foresees New Era of
Good Roads in US.
After the War

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sill ghways
travel by means of the passenger auto
mobile has increased during the pres
ent summer fully so per cent accord
ing to figures which have been com
piled by the national road bureaus
at the A. A. A. Washington and New
York City headquarters. The increas-
ing number of road journeys has re-
suited from overcrowded trains and
the difficulty of assured accommoda
tons and conveniences except to a
comparatively limited number of trav-
ellers. While percentage of the road
trips have had to do with vacation
periods, preponderating quantity has
related to commercial necessities and
a consequent saving in time obtained
by uninterrupted doorto door trips.
Director General of Railroads Nc
Adoo has just issued statement in
regard to railroad travel, calling upon
the public generally to use passenger
minimum. Mr.. McAdoo thus presents
the case: among the many patriotic
duties of the American public at this
time is the duty to refrain from trav-
cling unnecessarily. Every man, wom-
an and child who can avoid using pas
senger trains at this time should do
so. l earnestly hope that they will
do So"
Chairman Carl G. Fisher, of the
A. A. A. touring board, makes the
comment upon Mr.. McAdoo's plea
with rail lines congested by essential
freight haulage, it certainly is the duty
of every one to cut down his use of
this utility, and. of course, the only
answer is the highway and the self
propelled vehicle, which now can show
anew it's ability to abridge distances
and quickly transport people from one
place to another in the necessary trans
action of their daily duties
'In the Middle West it is the ex-
pected thing for the average passenger
car owner to employ his vehicle in
practically all Of his town to town
journeys, whether they be within the
state or into an adjoining common

ed unequivocally the great need of

He's Too Far West To Be
Hit by "Gasless SUNDAYS

For the fifth time in his career as a
professional auto driver f. G. Cannon
Bald Baker, of Indianapolis, is making
test tour which will touch every state
capital in the United States.
The trip began July 1. Mr.. Baker
drives a Revere automobile equipped
with United States Roya! cord tires.
Previous to this trip Mr. Baker had
made four similar tours of the United
States in Cadillac and Stutz cars.
Those trips were made in four months,
but at the rate at which he is now
travelling he expects to finish the pres
ent tour in two and half months.
The Cannon Ball left Indianapolis on
July 1 and made a swing through Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Kansas to the
Southwest. From there he left for the
coast. whence he will proceed across
the Northern states to Maine and back
through the New England states down
to Frankfort, KY, the last capital on
the journey.
Up to this time Mr.. Baker reports no
tire trouble, except from nail punct-
ures. His great record as driver was
made last September, when he travelled
from New York to California on a mo-
torcycle in five days. He is accom-
panied on the trip by Freddie Carver,
who keeps all the records.

Suggest Tax on Car
Values Rather Than
On Horsepower

ALBANY, Aug 81. - The New York
State Automobile Association has
wired the chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee at Washington that
"the New York State Automobile Asso-
citation. composed of 100 automobile
clubs, indorses the principle of taxing
both automobiles and gasolene, if Con-
gress deems it necessary to assist in
the successful prosecution of the war,
but is firm in the conviction tlrat this
taxation should be on the basis Of in
surance or dealers used car schedule
of values instead Of horsepower"
The 1918 convention of the associ-
alton will meet at Utica on October
1924. Every outside state automobile
association and club in the United
States will be urged to send delegates
to this meeting of the New York State
Automobile Association to discuss mat
tiers of vital import to the motor car
owners of the country.
