JAX CLAIMS TO HAVE
OLDEST WOMAN VOTER

Jacksonville, Sept. 17.-Women from
81 years of age to SIS years have been
registered in Jacksonville, and this is
thought to establish a record in the
state. Several counties have record
ed the registration of elderly women.
but so far this is believed to be the
most striking age record 1t is re-
ported that there are many more
women on the books over fifty and
under thirty. than between the ages of
thirty and forty.
Miss Lucy A. Cross, of Daytona,
Fla. accorded the privilege of being
the first to register in that precinct,
boasts more than eighty years, and
says she has been waiting for sixty
years to vote.
The county registration officer OF
Dade City has accepted the invitation
of the Womans Club to use their club
house as his registration office.
It is estimated that already more
than one thousand women have reg
istered in Jacksonville.

cylinder. The center main bearing
wears in all directions, that is, it viii be
found that the top half Is worn almost
as much as the bottom half and an
equal amount on the sides. This is
due to the whipping action of the shaft
previously mentioned, and during the
suction strokes of the two center cylin-
ders there is considerable pull in an
upward direction.
With these thoughts in mind it will
be seen that after considerable service,
when these bearings are to be frightened
that the upper hall of the front bearing
will be in line. with the upper half of the
rear main bearing, but the upper half Of
the center main bearing will not be IN
line with either one of the other two,
due to the fact that it IS the only upper
half having any great amount Of wear;

bends six thousandths Of inch, result
ing in either broken crankshaft after
a time or in very rapid wear or destruc-
ton of the center main bearing, and no
one viii know why it ever happened.
1t is practically impossible for any
mechanic to determine the alignment
of the main bearings while working
under the motor with the crankshaft in
position. There is only one way to do
this job right, and that is to remove
the motor from the chassis, place it on
a couple of horses or motor stand
bottom side up, remove the lower half
of the crankcase, disconnect all con-
Meeting rod bearings and life the crank
shaft from its bearings. Then the
mechanic will be able to determine the
exact condition of the bearings and
how much they are out of line. All
parts can be cleaned off and Prussian
blue applied to the shaft to find the
points of contact.

is the center main bearing.
The fact that the rear main bearing
wears less than The other two no doubt
is due to the gyroscopic action of the
fly wheel which tends to counter
balance the impulses from the rear
cylinder and practically keeps the
shaft floating in the rear bearing.
The reason for the greatest amount
of wear at the center bearing is due no
doubt to two causes. When these
motors are operating to their fullest
capacity the crankshaft is subjected to
terrific strain and due to its peculiar
shape will have tendency to whip in
the center, regardless Of its size. All
of this whipping strain comes upon the
center bearing. The other cause for
the greatest amount Of wear is due to
/ the fact that it is the only main bearing
receiving impulses from the cylinders
on both sides of the bearing. 1t

Our observations have also shown as
that no two of these bearings wear
exactly the same. The rear main bear
ing usually wears straight down into
the bearing cap with very little wear
on the upper half. The front main
bearing wears down into the cap but
to one side, due no doubt to the action
