CLEAN OIL BASE
MOST ESSENTIAL
II Should Be Taken Down and De-
posts Of Oil and Muck Re.
moved Occasionally.
Prevents INJURY TO MOTOR
Accumulation OF Carbon From cylln-
ders, Sand From Road and Other
Particles Shortens the Life
Of the Bearings.

(By WILLIAM II. STEWART, President
OF the Stewart Automobile School)
What world Of trouble you are
storing up for yourself II you do not
drop the oil base and clean II. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster
than you think, and sooner or later
hands. II Is not sufficient to change
the oil regularly, as advised by the
manufacturer. The oil base should be
taken down and the deposits removed
occasionally.
The first time you do this you will
he surprised Mt the nature Of the accu-
mutations. Small Jumps OF carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the
road, even particles Of metal turnings
left there when your car came from
the factory, have all been found In the
oil base But worst Of all Is the thick
muck of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and
sink to the bottom, but the muck re-
mains even after the base Is drained
of the old oil.
Usual Advice to Motorist.
The advice usually given to the mo-
tOrist may be summed up as follows:
Drain out all the old oil. Replace the
plug and I'll to the usual level with
kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 30 seconds and then drain the
oil base. Repeat If thought necessary.
This stirs up the muck and sediment
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings are
cleaned with minimum Of effort and
without removing the crank case"
"Stir II up" as Hamlet says. In
deed, the grit which should lie DOR
mant until scraped out by hand, Is
stirred up and splashed all around the
crank case and also carried into the
bearings. 1t forms fine grinding
compound which either shortens the
life of the bearings or clogs up the
oil holes, causing the bearings to run
dry.
Injurious Results.
The result is even worse If the oil
ing system is one of the pressure
type forcing oil through hollow
crank-shaft directly into the bearings.
Right into the bearings, mind you
and under pressure, too! Can any one
defend this method after realizing
what this means? 1t Is not sufii-
Client answer to say that the oil must
pass through strainer. The finest
grit will always pass through and
harm Is done!
SO while 1t is a dirty job and dis
tgreeable one to remove the crank
use for proper cleaning 1t is the only
y 10 give your engine the care 1t

which should be considered I'm the es-
adjustment of rates In any district.
The value and the fragility.Of the load
bear direct relationship to the rate
that should be charged. Very valuable

risk on the part Of the carrier and the
tariff for the carriage of such goods
should be sufficiently high to offset the
risk involved. The length of the haul

ton. Road conditions directly affect

considered In fixing the rate. Prac-
ticully no rates have been established
on the basis Of cost plus q reasonable
profit. A satisfactory rate must be
one which is low enough to attract
business and high enough to offer a
reasonable profit to the operator.
Where conditions do not permit the
establishment of such rate, care
should be exercised In starting route.

Roosevelt Association Declares
Movement to Erect Monu-
ments Must Awaken
Americans to New
Sense of DUTY.

The Roosevelt Memorial association,
which has assumed the task during the
week OF October 20-27. of collecting
a fund OF at least $5.0O0.OOO. for the
erection at Washington of a towering
shaft OF marble to Colonel Roosevelt
and the creation of a park at Oyster
Bay, unreservedly declares that 1t Is
looking beyond the accumulation of
| this fund. and that Its greatest work
| is to preserve for all the people OF the
United States the inspiration that
| famed In the great heart of Theodore
Roosevelt and guided his statesman
ship.
Unless the movement for the crea-
ton of Roosevelt memorials kindles
In the souls of his fellow Americans
greater devotion, more loyalty and
deeper faith, 1t will have accomplished
only a small part Of what 1t was In
tended to do; and not only among the
native, but also among the foreign-born
American citizens must this patriotic
feeling be fostered.
Theodore Roosevelt was a states
man. a historian. journalist. a big
| game hunter naturalist. an explorer,
but In and above all he was an Amer
lean, whose ruling passion was his
country" says william Boyce Thomp-
son, president of the Roosevelt Memoir
ial association "He served his coun-
| try with every side Of his versatile be-
Ing. He rescued from oblivion n ro-
mantle era OF her history; he studied
her wild animals aud birds and gave
them sanctuaries: he redeemed her
desert: he struggled for law and order
on the frontier and for humanity In
her slums: he fought for the honor
OF her flag. In war and peace. abroad
and at home, with pen and sword and
the organized power Of high position.
He loved America and with every
breath he drew. he served her"
This Is the man who has passed from
among US. the man who was as beloved
in the liberty-ioving lands across the
sea as he was In his own America. and
millions OF their inhabitants have sig
nIfied their purpose of contributing to
the Roosevelt memorial fund during
the week of athe drive. Their cause
he valiantly espoused In those never
to.be-forgotten dark days before VIC
tory came to the Allies. and because
of this they revere the name OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt little less than that OF
q saint.
Nor will the peoples In the territor-
| iai possessions of the United States be
less backward about honoring his mem
ory than those In this country. In
Alaska. Hawaii. the Philippines, Porto
Rico and, In fact. In the furthermost
corners Of the earth where the glorious
Stars and Stripes fly. men and women
and children have signifed their In
tention to help create the Roosevelt
memorials and pay homage to the
memory Of man all Americans loved.

HULL HOUSE, CHICAGO,

Scheme Simple, But Makes for Brand
Of Amerlcanisnn Col. Roosevelt
Believed In and Constantly
Labosed For.

Hull House. In the midst Of one OF
Chicago's most congested foreign dis
tricts. has been for many years work
ing out an Americanization scheme
so perfectly In accord with the poll
cies of the late Theodore Roosevelt.
that 1t might serve as an inspiration
to communities where the work has not
yet gone 50 far.
AmericanizatioD, In the sense OF
adapting foreigners to the life and
customs OF the United States, has been
a necessity in South Halsted street
ever since the founding Of the Hull
House by Jane Adams, close friend
Of Colonel Roosevelt and In most re-
spects a warm sympathizer with his
beliefs.
1t has been Miss Adams policy
Dot to change her foreign neighbors.
but to adapt them with all that they
bring from the old country. to the life
of the new. AS an Illustration of tho
value OF this, Miss Adams tells a
story of a peasant woman who had
not learned to speak English nor kept
up In any way with her children as
they grew up and went to school. Then
classes In hand-craft were opened at
Hull House and the old world women
were asked to come In and teach the
crafts they had brought with them
from Europe. This woman taught and
did weaving A few months later, her
twelve-year old daughter came to Miss
Adams and asked:
miss Adams, Is 1t true that my
mother Is the best weaver in the neigh
borhoodT
Assured that this was true. the
child went proudly away with respect
for her mother she had not had be-
fore.
In addition to the craft classes and
the classes in English, Hull House has
young peoples parties. nelghborhood
parties, and clubs for promoting neigh
borly frlendllness.
Hull Houses Arlericanization pro-
gram Is simply teaching English. CIV
ics and anything else that Is asked
for: Interchanging craft knowledge
and providing facilities for friendly
sociability and recreation.
A considerable share of the Roose-
Welt Memorial fund Of $750.000. to be
raised In Illinois during the week Of
October 20-27, will be used for the
spreading OF this sort Of Americanism.
South Halsted and Its contributary
streets In Chicago, are evidence Of Its
success.

WHY ROOSEVELT SENT
FOR SETH BULLOCK
Wanted Britishers to See Typical Wild
Westerner and Educated Ameri-
can Gentleman.

do you know why sent for Seth
Bullock to meet me in London when
was on my way home from that trip
around the worldr the late Colonel
Roosevelt once asked a casual ac-
qualntance from DeadwoOd, Captain
Builock's home. II wanted those Brit.
ishers to see my ideal typical American.
They didn't know Bullock's sort at all.
They didn't know q man could b .
Wild westerner and an educated gen.
tleman at the same time"
Captain Bullock. who died recently
at his home In Deadwood. was q typl-
cal westerner In appearance. He was
tall. gaunt. raw-boned. with dropping
musfache, and he wore soft white
hat. He had been one OF the oid-tins
vigilantes In Montana and was the drst
sheriff In Deadwood. He was quiet
and soft-voiced and had quick wit
that was delightful. He was among
those who brought law and order Into
the turbulent young West. and he re-
sented any implication that he was or
ever had been bad man with gun.
When Roosevelt was making a cam
paigning tour through South Dakota
and Wyoming at the time he was run
ming for vice president Captain Bull
lock was with him. When he returned
home he had some rings made of Black
Hills gold for the other members OF
the party. Before they were ready. 81.
I. Cleveland. newspaper man who
had been one of them.' wrote several
feature stories about Captain Bullock,
telling OF the notches on his gun, and
his general bloody record.
Captain Bullock read the stories and
when he sent the rings the following
note went with Mr. Cleveland's:
my Dear Mr.. Cleveland: am
sending you a Black Hills gold ring as
little souvenir OF our trip with Mr..
Roosevelt. You will see that your
Initials are engraved inside. The

Colonel Roosevelt and Captain Bull

the colonel spent on his COW ranch on
the Little Missouri north OF the Black
Hills, and when he was inaugurated

Bullock and his trough riders were
among the interesting features Of the
Inauguration parade.
