IMPORTANT PART

Owners Should Give More Atten-
ton to Universal Joints, De-
claTes an Expert.
SHAFTshOVING CONTINUALLY
On Account Of Location Joint Is Neg
lected More Than Any Other Part
Of car-Engine Is Blamed for
Difficulty.

Pity the sorrows of the poor uni
yersal joint. Compelled to struggle on
alone, out Of sight and out Of mind striy-
ing to overcome friction when neglect
ed, shocked almost to the breaking
point BY contact Of the rear wheels.
with water bars and mud holes, wrench
ed numerically by sudden use Of the
clutch-still it stands up under the
strain. Study its needs and attend to
them, and you viii be repaid a hum
dredfold, writes an expert in an ex-
change.
The purpose Of universal joint is
to deliver power from one shaft to
another when out Of line or at a
varying angle. The forward end is
fastened to the spline shaft in the gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going to the differentiaI and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
another universal joint near the differ
entail The two shafts are rarely in
sine, so some sort of flexible coupling
is necessary, and the present high
grade joint has been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises and falls with
the spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out Of line and the need of a flexible
joint is quite apparent. The angle is
never very greet, because any depar-
tCre from straight line loses power.
When the car is properly loaded with
passengers the line win be found to
be very nearly, if not quite, straight.
On account Of its location the joint
Is often neglected probably more than
any other part of the car. 1t is a
dirty job to grease or even TO inspect
it, and so it is neglected until the
engine is unable to pull the usual hills
on high gear. Frequently the engine
is blamed for this, whereas the fault
is entirely due to friction in the uni
versaI joint, gears, and differential.
Long before this trouble arises the
joint should be fabricated.
Fhe old types were covered with a
heather boot difficult to remove. But
the present type is completely incased
in metal with convenient plug for
greasing. OF course a grease gun
must be used and the lubricant forced
in ar different angles Use a light
gear-case compound. one that will
reach every part readily.
Avoid Cup Grease.
Do not use cup grease, as it viii
not work into the joints, but viii
squeeze out and stay out. This also
applies to the lubricant used in gears
and differential. 1t must be of con
sistency to run in between the gears
as fast as it is forced out.

Mr.. Frank Pinckney, custodian OF
the Casa Grande Ruin and Tumaca-
cori Mission, has favored THE
OASIS with a copy Of the Director
of the National Park Service for the
fiscal year ending June 30th, last,
which touches upon many points OF
in Arizona.
The following Is taken from Its
pages:
"Tumscacori National Monument
Arizona
4-s'The land on which islands the
Mission, which was
founded by Father Kino In the
Seventeenth Century, was donated
to the government during the past
year. When the national monument
was established the government
claimed ownership Of this land. The
title was disputed, however, and the
Supreme Court Of the United States
sustained the adverse claim in 1914.
The mission remained in private
ownership until a few months ago,
when the owners of the tract donated
to the government the 10 acres on
which the mission stands. The pub.
lie spirited action Of the former
owners in transferring this ancient
ruin to the government deserves the
appreciation of the Service and Of
the country at large, as the opportu-
nifty is thus given to preserve one Of
the most interesting relics Of the
early Spanish exploration and set
tlement
"The donors Of this property are
James e. Bouldin, Jennie N. Bould-
in, Helen Lee Bouldin and Weldon
M. Bailey. The preliminary work Of
preservation will begin as soon as
practicable under the direction Of
Mr.. Frank Pinckley, custodian Of the
Casa Grande National Monument"
It will be recalled that Mr.. Pink
ley made a visit to the Tumacacori
ruin couple Of weeks ago, and at
that time he arranged with Mr.. A.
