the soft, wet, irrigated fields and
many times plunged into the mud up

Reaching its destination. the Re-
public again demonstrated its rugged

down a steep incline. so that the
heavy load could be taken OF. This
necessltated a slow, backward grind,
putting the brakes to the seYerest

CLEAN YOUR CRANK
CASE FREQUENTLY
BY c. III. WARRINGTON,
Warrington Motor Car Co.

DO you now and then drain the lu-
6ricating oil from the crank case OF
your engine and put in fresh oil?
This is one of the most important
details in the efficient operation OF
yOurscar and should be done at regu
lar intervals. Automobile manufac-
turers and service stations alike en-
phasize its Importance.
dEpou examination Of the old oil
sn the crank case you will probably
find that it has been thinned out in
use. Chemical analysis would show
q varying proportion Of gasolene in
she oil, dependent upon the lubricat,
ing conditions Of your engine and the
length Of time the oil has been al
lowed to remain in the crank case.
Not infrequently upon examination,
the lubricating efficiency of the oil
has been found to be seriously i'm
paired. The principal reason for the
increase OF this trouble in recent
years is the change in the characte
Of the fuel (gasolene) in general use.
Present-day gasolene is Of heavier
gravity and Is less volatile than that
formerly sold. 1t does not as readily
saturate the air in carburetion and
give as homogeneous or gaseous a
mixture as is desirable. The heavier
and less volatile the fuel the greater
the difficulty Of mixing it with air
in the correct proportion for combus-
tiOn. There is, therefore, a greater
possibility Of fuel in liquid being
drawn into the combustion chambers
or cylinders OF the engine.
Affected by Cold.
In starting the engine, particularly
in cold weather, the use of the car
buretor choker valves causes con-
siderable quantity Of liquid fuel to
be drawn into the cOmbustiou cham

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, March s.-Mrs
Anna Fluke, has settled out Of court a
claim for S175 for expenses and incon-
veniences she incurred when her sister,
Mrs Theresa Fluke. Committed suicide
in Mrs. Anna FlHke's apartments in
November, 1917. Mrs. Anna Fluke filed
a claim for $500 damages, including
a moving fee of s23 against the Mrs.
Theresa Fluke estate, because she said
she could not bear to live in the apart

her own life. The claim was compro-
missed after a hearing and she received
the $175 in addition to one-third of the
remainder of the $500 estate Of her

CLUMSY BODYL|NES
YIELD TO GRACEFUL

"one Of the phenomena Of the au-
tomobile industry is the swift transit
ton Of body types from the crude
and clumsy designs which graced the
pioneer cars TO the present-day per
fection and grace of the custom-built
body" said Mr.. Sobotka, of the
Roamer Sales Company. 1926 Connec-
ticut avenue northwest, who repre-
sents the Roamer in Washington
Some of the new bodies are the very
epitome of beauty. They suggest
speed and agility. They imply that
sensation of airy motion which is the
keynote OF modern automobile travel.
Some OF the custom body designs
which have been mounted on the
Roamer chassis eXemplify these traits
in striking fashion. The awkward,
obese lines of the ordinary car are
scrupulously eliminated. There is a
slimness and alertness to the body
lines which is intended to give the
observer the same impression that
the occupant receives.
THE underlying analogy between
land and marine travel Is being real
lied by designers. The new names
being given by body builders to their
creations bring this out very clearly.
There are the boat bodies. 'skiff'
bodies, and canoe bodies. The pro-
file shows the lines slopinE away
from the hood. much as they slope
from the PROV of a boat.
"One of the models evolved for the
Roamer by Karl II. Martin, the we'll
known New York designer, is a four
passenger body Of extremely dashiug
and rakish lines. My study Of cur
rent European tendencies gives me
confidence that this will be one of
the most popular Roamer types for
next year"

lower than the temperatures Of the
fuel mixture entering them partial
condensation occurs. Part OF the
fuel separates from the air as liquid
This liquid fuel has a natural ten
dency to dilute, or thin out lubricat'
ing oil, with which it comes in con-
tact. AS the piston moves up and
down within the cylinder, the liquid
fuel in contact with the oil film on
cylinders, pistons and piston rings
partly CUTS away this lubricating oil
film.
The compression pressure on the
compression stroke aids in forcing
the compressed fuel charge down past
charge and the liquid fuel mix with
the lubricating oil in the crank case
and dilute it.
With These Results.
When the gases or fuel have mixed
with lubricating oil in the crank case
they reduce the lubricating oil in
body and considerably decrease its
lubricating value. This results in:
1. An inefficient piston ring seal
with consequent high consumption Of
fuel and lubricating oil and loss Of
power.
2. Premature wear of cylinders, pis-
tons, piston rings and Of crankshaft,
crank pin and piston pin bearings.
3. Excessive carbon deposits, caus-
ing pre-ignition and laboring Of the
engine.
4. Burned out bearings.
: 3. Poor compression.
6. Excessive accumulation OF car
bon sediment in crank case.
Here Are PreventatiVes.
To overcome these conditions il is
of the utmost Importance:
That the carbureter choker valve
be used sparingly.
That during cold weather a means
be provided to decrease the circula-
ton of air through the radiator,
thereby enabling the engine to oper-
ate at a higher temperature.
That the supply Of used crank-case
oil be drained every four hundred
miles and replenished with a fresh
supply.
- That the correct grade of lubricat-
ing oil be used to form and maintain
an efficient piston ring seal.

ing. In the loop two negroes were
beaten to death. There were several
shootings and Standings, mostly by
small gangs well out from the district
so heavily patrolled by officers.
Racial antipathy spread to the
county Jail where negroes and whites
were mingled in the dull pen" Of
ficers with difficulty broke up the bat
tie. Troubles Of the police were in
creased on rumors that mob was
forming to march on the county Jail
to demand the release of Thomas
Fitz Gerald, charged with the murder
or six year old Janet Wilkinson. De-
tails were drawn from the reserves
in response to that rumor.
The riots, termed here the most
serious ever occurring in a northern
city, were sporadic affairs, taxing the
vigilence of the police to the utmost.
Assaults Of various sorts were re-
ported from the Loop to Sixty-th1rd
street, eight miles from the business
district.
Developments today included the ap-
peal of Governor Frank 0. Lowden to
business men, negro leaders and city
officials to get together to settle the
difficulties. Chicago's serious diff
culties because of the street car strike
were side tracked to assure action in
quieting the rioters.
Four thousand troops were ready
today for duty. They have not been
called for by city officials who be-
lieved they have checked the rioting.
Police were ordered to break up all
gangs and to pick up all hoodlums. In
the black belt crowds were not per-
mitted to gather. Colored soldiers and
police together kept pedestrians NOV
ing Whites entering the business dis
trict were made to explain their mis-
sions. ~
Sale of munitions and arms by
pawn shops were prohibited. Governor
Lowden and Mayor VIM. H. Thompson
after hearing reports from police and
military officials said they were much
encouraged by conditions. Mayor
Thompson said the police have mat
tiers in hand and it probably will NOT
be necessary to call out the militia.

of Boston's schools of bolsheyism.
One of the class rooms In build
ing on Washington street here is
typical Of the schools. On the walls
are pictures of Trotsky, Lenine,
Liebnecht, Karl Marx, and one of
Abraham Lincoln.
On other parts Of the walls are
several signs. One of these, which
is done in red and white. yellow and

inscription another sign bears.
The system, as explained by one
of the teachers Of anarchy and revo'
luton, Is to start the children In spe-
cially organized sunday schools
in which the elementary principles
are taught. Later the pupils are ad-
vanced to the bolshevistic schools
proper, where they receive more ad-
vanced lessons in class hatred.
In the early stages of their educa-
ton the children are taught revolu-
tionary songs, Of which the follow
ing is typical example,,
''We want OF the whole world full
control,
Well have nothing less than the
whole.
All value we make and the whole
we'll take,

The following is another song cal
culated to arouse the enthusiasm Of
the pupils to work for the Cause:
Now Mister Workingman at last

SO he thought 1T was shame, but
he found he was to blame.
SO he works away for his meager pay
In the same old putrid air.
But he breaches everywhere-to hell

organize,
And well confiscate the bank on the

schools, in which the seeds of class
hatred are sown in the minds OF
little children hardly out of the tod
ding age, are operating here and in
several other New England cities.
In these schools or classes, bitter
hatred for the rich is instilled into
the minds of the tiny pupils. They
are taught to sing: ITO hell with the
millionaire," They are told that the
whole world is their heritage; that
bankers are robbers, and above all
that the singers are slaves of the
capitalistic class 1t is contended
that, taught the bolshevist principles
from babyhood, the pupils will grow
up tn the belief that the doctrine is
stronger than anything else.

dren to train to manhood and woman
hood" said teacher in one of the
Boston schools, "and we will set up

The powerful influence Of the
teachings of the bolsheviki was
shown recently when, during a recess
at one of the big public schools here,
teachers were amazed to hear their
pupils singing:
THE peoples flag is deepest red,
1t shrorded all OUR martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and
cold
Their hearts blood dyed it's every
fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
