TRUCK SERVICE
HARDEST TEST
Modern Delivery Fleets

Truck service is the crucial test

half-sole dealer here. How to in

outs has been areaI economic problem
with the men who foot the bills for
fleets Of delivery cars.
Tire troubles, with their resultant
delays and added expense in the dellv-
cry Of goods. are among the serious
business problems with which depart
partment stores have to wrestle. A
tire that viii stand up under all con-

Fleets OF several OF the biggest de-

seaboard and the Pacific coast are de-

CARE Adds To
LIFE Of AUTO
Many Car Owners Fail to
Appreciate Value Of Reas-
enable Care to Car.

IF motorists would only take rea-
sonable care Of their cars they would
be surprised at the increased mile
age they would received without
visits to the repair shop" st ties B.
F. Schooler, sales manager OF the No
tor Sales Co
Here is one way that car can be
made to last longer. and most owners
do not realize the paramount impor-
lance OF the operation: Drain the oil
from the or nix cases every 1000 miles,
clean out the crank case with kero-
sene and then fil il up again with
fresh, clean OIL Do this consistently
and you viii save repair bills and pro-
long the lie Of your motor.
In the instrut ton books issued to
owners, motor car manufacturers
stronsly recommend that at regular
intervals. the old WORKOUT OIL should
be drained of and the crank case re-
filled with a fresh So ply.
The extreme importa-cs OF follow
ing this good advice is usually not
properly appreciated b. o,sners. q II
an examination o. the oil taken from
the crank case Of motor that has
been run for a season without clean
ing out would quickly colvin any
owner Of the necessity OF this service
"a great many owners appear
be under the impression th~t the
lu0ricat ton OF the motor is being pro-
perly looked after so long as they
pour in from time to time sufficient
fresh oil TO mai tain the proper level
in the crank case
while the maintenance OF the pro-
per oil level is very important, IL is
not all by any means that is required
to insure efficient motor lubr.c ton.
The oil in the crank case mus. be kept
clean and. 50 far as possible, free from
sediment and grit This can only be
realized by frequent and regular
changing OF the crank-case supply.
It is understood that this applies TO
motors where the circulation splash

ployed and the oil is continually used

Great Scientist, Scholar,
Thinker, Usually Not an
All Around Good Fellow

There is always danger when any
one concentrates that the concentra-
ton will be carried too far-sO far
that it produces narrow, one-sided
and warped point of view, observes
writer. The great scientist, the
great scholar and great thinker in any
line, is usually not an all around
good fellow" Grabbed" queer"
peculiar" "odd,"' funny" and
"warpeG'-are these not the adjec-
tives that generally describe the ge-
muses. of the world?
The very effort to concentrate on
the one subject which has brought
success has made it impossible to
keep in touch with the thousand and
one currents of thoughts and topics
of conversation which go to make ur
comfortable and easy-going life.
Like the old sea captain, these ge'
muses. miss something in their effort
to fix their attention on one thing.
In spite Of this danger, it is a good
thing to work for concentration. The
likelihood of becoming one-sided is big
where genius is concerned, but then
it can be excused Most of us can
safely concentrate our attention and
still feel sure that we will keep in
touch with the world about us.

Courageous Men Who Have
Carried Civilization Into the
Dark Corners of the Earth

"The world today would be a very
small place were it not for men who
have carried the torch Of civilization
into far places" says William Heyliger
in an article entitled Daniel Boone"
which appears in Boys Life. Gan I'M
quenchable fire, burning in their
breasts, has urged them forth to break
paths for their generation. They have
penetrated the dark corners of the
earth; they have, in many cases, paid
forfeit with their lives. Columbus, Ma
gellan, Livingstone-all were Of this
lions breed. So, too, was Daniel Boone.
'"There was never a day, for almost
fifteen years, when Boone's life was not
In danger. No other man ever fought
civilizations fight against such bitter
odds. He led the first white settlers
into Kentucky. His eldest son was
killed on the march. Other men gave
up and returned to civilization, but
Boone pressed on. He founded BOones-
boro, and for years never knew what
moment the warwhoop Of the savage
would bring him from his sleep. His
daughter was kidnapped by the Indi-
ans; another son was slain from am
bush. But Boone, with that flame Of
creation burning in his breast, never
once turned aside. Almost single-hand-
ed he wrested the great state of Ken
lucky from the Indians. Almost sim
gle-handed he planted the banner Of
human advancement 500 miles beyond
the then farthest frontier"
