every 500 miles other oiling sys-

The gear case and transmission
should be regularly cleaned every
1000 or 5000 miles, according to the
type OF transmission, and the manu-
facturer's instruction book will give
the needed recommendations on this
point.
At end OF 1000 miles. fll the diff
ferentiaI with oil, a partially fluid
oil preferably, not grease, and every
? 900 or 5000 miles, as recommended
by the manufacturer, clean the diff
ferential thoroughly.
At end of every 250 miles, screw up
all grease cups. Be sure that the
grease is actually being forced into
the bearing. If the channels are
choked, have them cleaned out, SO
that the grease can get into the bear
ings.
In the army inspections this is over
done rather than slighted. When an
army truck was inspected the driver
was required to screw down the
grease cups until a collar OF clea-
white grease worked out from tho
bearing to make sure that the grease
was actually penetrating the moving
parts.

There are several methods OF keep
ing repairs bills down. one is by
sending a truck to the shop only when
il has come to such a condition that
II cannot be run further without an
overhaul. Such carelessness, OF course,
will not exist where any real super
vision OF trucks is maintained. A
method used by many operators of big
fleets is to rotate all trucks Of the
fleet into the shops for a close me
chanical inspection. II a truck feet,
however, of a dozen vehicles has one
in the shop each day for inspection, on
a basis OF inspection every two weeks,

however, is prevention. This includes

also the closest sort OF care Of the

 There was a large turn out of mem bers of the order owing to the cleo ton of delegates to the Grand Lodge of Connecticut which is to be held at Bristol during the second week of August and the three elected to rep resent the order were J. w. Brooks, J. J. Howarth and A. R. Saunders.
 It is interesting to note that three members of the two local orders are candidates for office to the Gland lodge. They are George Wood, Pioneer lodge, for the messenger; J.
