L~UBRICATION IS
BIC REQUISITE
Much More Liable to Be Neglect
ed in Winter Than When
Weather Is Pleasant.
MEANS LONG LIFE TO Car
Advisable in Cold Weather to Have
Universal Joints Filled With
Soft Grease, or Add Small
Amount of Heavy Oil.

by R. A. LEAvELL. Department Of En-.
cheering Extension. Iowa State Col
lege.)
In the winter, when the garage is
cold, systematic fabrication of the car,
as recommended by the manufacturer
In his instruction book. is very much
more liable to be neglected than 1t is
when the weather is pleasant. In adj
dition. under the influence of cold, 1t
is more difficult to get the oil to flow
from the oil can into the oil cups or
to force grease in by means of a grease
cup.
When the ear is run, the Oil or
grease, because it is stiffened by the
cold, does not work in between the
wearing surfaces so readily. A uni
versal Joint in particular may be part.
ly filled with cup grease which is soft
enough to lubricnte properly in the
summer, but which, like butter, be-
comes almost solid in zero weather.
During cold weather 1t is advisable
to have the universal joint housings
filled completely with soft grease or,
II they ARE already full, to add a small
, 1919-02-20

more than one-third full on account
of the liability of having the grease
work out along the shafts and onto
the brakes and tires.
If a heavy dark green oil, known
often as steam cylinder stock, as 600
w, or as transmission Oil, is used it
will be found advisable to thin it down
slightly in zero weather by the addi-
ton of automobile engine oil.
Mud Absorbs OIL.
Whenever mud gathers around the
bearings and dries it absorbs oil just
as sawdust Or a sponge would, and if
the oiling is not taken car of fire.
quently enough the parts will first be-
come dry, then water will soak in and
cause rusting, and, finally, they will
freeze fast and become almost immov-
able. This often happens on shafts in
the Incorporating mechanism.
Proper fabrication in accordance
with recommendations of the manu-.
facturer found in the fabrication chart
in the instruction book which he fur
nishes with the car, will make a diff
ference of 10000 miles between a car
which is ready for the junk heap and
the n which runs just as well as IL
did on its first trip.

ADJUSTMENT OF cARBUREToR
and Accurate-Too Thin Mixture
Causes Trouble.

(By HENRY L. THOMPSON, Department
of Farm Engineering, Oklahoma A. and
M. College.)
Nine-tenths of all the peculiarities
of the gas engine are attributed to the
carburetor. Some men have the habit
of tinkering with it all the time.
The modern automatic carburetor is
a very reliable and accurate machine,
and when correctly adjusted to meet
certain conditions it should operate
In a satisfactory manner.
|. Most carburetors have an adjust
ment for low speed and starting, and
another adjustment for high speeds.
Too thin a mixture causes the en-
CINE to pop inc miss, while too thick
a mixture will cause black at the muf-
fier. Blue smoke is due to Oil.
First adjust the engine for low
speed so that 1t will start easily and
pull strongly. Then run the motor at
a medium to high speed under same
load and adjust the "air" or high
speed adjustment.
In an auto this may be done by
running the machine up u long, regu'
lar grade on which 1t can make about
% or 80 miles an hour, finding the
adjustment which will give a certain
speed with least throttle. In a trac-
tor the carburetor should always be
adjusted under load so that II pulls .
| given load the easiest. After the prop.
er adjustment has been found leave
IL alone.

Get New Kidneys

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of tiltering out and
throwing off the poisons. developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back. highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation, or even stone in the blad'
der. These symptoms indicate a condition
that may lead to that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.
Do not delay a minute. At the first in
dication of trouble in the kidney, liver,
bladder or urinary organs start taking
Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules, and
save yourself before it is too late. Instant
treatment is necessary in kidney and blad'
der troubles. A delay is often fatal.
You can almost certainly find immediate
relief in Gold Medal HARLEM Oil Capsules.
For more than 200 years this famous prep
aration has been an unfailing remedy for
all kidney. bladder and urinary troubles.
1t is the pure, original HARLEM Oil your
great-grandmother used. About two cap.
sules each day will keep you toned up and
feeling fine. Get it at any drug store, and
Is it does not give you almost immediate
relief, your money will be refunded. BE
sure you get the GOLD MEDAL brand.

CHAINS SHOULD BE CLEANED
First Soak in Bath of Kerosene and
Then Brush off to Get Rid Of All
Dirt and Grit.

The silent chains TINT are becoming
popular for cam shaft and other drives
should be thoroughly cleaned every
time the motor is taken down. The
chain should first be soaked in a bath
of kerosene and then brushed with 6
stiff brush to get off all dirt and grit
After cleaning, the chain should be
dried and then washed in hot water, to
which a little washing soda has been
added. Next the chain should be sub
merged in u bath of moderately heavy
lubricating oil and allowed to remain
until the lubricant has reached every
Granny of the bearing surface. 1t is a
good idea to have this oil warmed
through before immersing the chain in
1t, as this thins it a little and permits
it more readily to reach hidden sur
faces.

MOVE
FOR TRAFFIC court
Central Association Takes
Stand Against Practice of
Giving Collateral.

The Central Citizens Association.
deploring the continued death toll OF
traff1c accidents. last night went on
record as favoring traffic court. It's
meeting was held at the juvenile
Court, 203 / street.
Discussion centered about reSolu-
ton introduced by Robert II. McMac.
kim in which he recommended that
violators of the traffic law should not
be allowed to put up collateral at the
precinct station house. but should be
made to spend few days in Jail. This
motion was passed and referred to the
executive committee.
Replying to Mr.. McMackin. Capt c.
P. NJ. Lord of the sixth precinct,
member of the association. said that
refusal to take collateral is not feas-
[ible under the law. The police laws
are not stringent enough. he said. to
second and third offenders. Capt. Lord
said they could not be convicted for
the reason that they would rather for
felt collateral than take the chance
of a jail term.
49, Solution Not Yet Reached.
"The solution of the problem has

my observation, the fault lies just
