grinding valves and cleaning engines to

ne found in any engine that hasn't a fuel
lsxer, not only burns and turns to car
bon, btu it attracts carbon as well. Worse
than that. it washes the oil from the CYL
lander walls, and runs down past the pis-
lion rings into the crank case, diluting the
oil there. The news that such troubles

OIL AND GRAPHITE
BEST MIXTURE FOR
RUST IN SPRINGS

Much attention is being given to the
springs in tho late model motor cars
1t is probable that more improvements
have been made in spring construction
recently than in any other feature. and
today the springs on the better cars
are as near perfect as the best engi-
neers of the country know how to make
them.
But the best springs need some at
tention to enable them to function prop,
erly and deliver the comfort which was
built into them. The worst enemy of
springs and of spring action is rust A
spring with part Of the leaves cemented
together by rust cannot deliver the re-
siliency which the engineer built into
1t. And rust Is the most frequent cause
of breakage, for 1t not only weakens
the metal but almost makes the spring
rigid and more susceptible to breakage.
1.-THE best way to combat rust in
springs is with a mixture of oil and
graphite" in the opinion of Mr.. Nor
row of the Bunch Morrow Motor Car
Co, who has used this method very sue

A Tactical Error

From the Home Sector.
major of marines had his battalion
out In the brush in Cuba for prob
lem In observation. He detailed a pri-
quarter of mile away and conceal
himself. The battalion would then try
to locate the private wfSh field glasses
as a training for finding enemy scouts
and snipers during actual battle condi-
tions.
The private trotted off and. at the
signal from the major, flopped to the
ground the major turned around to ex-
plain the problem to the battalion but
upon turning again. was much incensed
to see the private standing again In
full view of all. SEEKING a pair of
signal flags from a sargent. the major
wig-waged wrathfuly: why don't
you lie down as I ordered?"
Upon which the private on the sky
line wig-waged back respectfully but
with great emphasis:
"Sir why did the major order me
to lie down on an ant hill?"
