NEW PLAN BUILDS UP
CHURCH ATTENDANCE

During the hot weather period, the
Pepper Memorial Methodist church has
combined 1t Sunday school and morn
ing church service into n meeting
with great success. II has been, OBJ
served In many churcnes that q large
number Of people who attend Sunday
school leave before the church service,
especially In, hot weather.
The Rev. Otis Gray Andrews, pastor
Of the Pepper Memorial church, says
that he would rather talk 10 or ls
minutes 10 the whole Sunday school
than 20 preach 80 or ~ minutes TO one-
fourth Of the school At the regular
church service, SO during July ana
August he has been delivering a short
address at the close OF the lesson period,
and closing the entire morning services
at 11:l5 o'clock. As the plan has
worked OUT, those who had formerly
attended only the church service now
come to Sunday school, and those who
came only for Sunday school'now stay
for the sermon. SO that the attendance
at both Sunday school and church has
increased.
So successfully is tine plan working
out that II Is likely thus the combined
services will be continued, with the gos-
pei talk or sermon a little longer, when
the weather gets cooler.
Ice cold lemonade Is served ut the
Pepper Memorial sunday school every
Sunday during the sumner, beginning
at $3.50 o'clock.

Memorial Methodist Sunday school, en-
joyed a picnic supper at OvePton park

IN OILING

The fabrication Of the modern auto
engine is so simple that most owners
do not realize the Importance Of II. It
Is the things which normally take are
Of themselves that are most likely to
be neglected; the things about which
we know the least. when they do 90
wrong, cause the greatest damage, not
the things with which we have become
familiar through frequent tinkering.
The instruction books issued by the
manufacturers say 10 inspect the oil
reservoir Of the engine each time be-
fore leaving the garage 10 see II the
required amount Of oil Is there, and
this inspection should not be neglected.
The most usual scheme Of engine lu-
b~rication used today Is carrying a GER
tain amount Of oil In a compartment in
the bottom Of the crank case. called
the stump. There Is a pump which OPP
crates whenever the engine Is running
and which pumps the oil to some sort
Of an indicator on the dash, so that the
driver can see II II is circulating, From
this point II flows by gravity to the
splash PAM located under the con-
Meeting rods and above the stump. Here
the oil is held at such a level that when
the crank shaft revOlyes the ends Of the
connecting rods dip into the oil and
splash il practically over all the work
ing parts Of the engine. This splashing
creates a fog of oil in the crank case,
and the rapid motion Of the piston and
other parts ~circulates the vaporized oil
over the moving parts so that a film
Of oil Is deposited on those parts where
the splash itself does not reach.
The pump circulates more oil than
Is used and the splash pans are ar
with overflow openings. so that
the excess simply drops back into the
stump and again Is passed through the
by the pump.

In this type Of system the principal

ficient quantity and is circulating,

placed with new oil occasionally. Some
of it will work up by the piston and
around the different parts OF the en-

visable for use. All Of the gasoline

Look for Its Imitators
Next Year

Essex success means next years cars will be
modelled after it. Look for its body lines, and
other features m cars that will come out from
now on. The Essex has filled the demand for
a light weight car with performance and
enduring qualities. 1t is not an old model
modified to meet the trend toward lightness
and economy, comfort and luxury. To get
what the Essex has, requires a design that
begins with one idea in view. A new trend in
design is reflected in the Essex. 1t can not be
met through the adoption of those principles
that have been in vogue.
The Essex is the new word in motor cars.
Its performance is proved everywhere and
its endurance is unquestioned. Can there be
any doubt, after such proof. that it is the car
you want?
