Life Of Engine and Car Depends
on Proper 0iIing Of Many
Different Parts.
PREVENT METALS TOUCHING
To Avoid Trouble With Bearings or
Cylinders Put in an Extra Pint OF
Oil Every Hundred Miles-Don't
Wait for Squeak.

"The life of your engine and car
depends upon fabrication" is the sub
iect of M article appearing in a recent
issue of an automobile magazine.
The principle of fabrication is to
prevent any two pieces of metal that
are working one against the other from
touching. This is accomplished by hay-
ing II film of oil between these two
metals. Upon this film of oil depends
the life of bearings, cylinders and pis-
ton rings. Only three different grades
of lubricants are used. The owner
should provide himself with a supply
Of gas cylinder oil, grease and steam
engine oil.
Right Oil for Engine.
Never use steam engine oil or any
thing but a pure mineral oil In the en-
CINE. Fast running or riding over
heavy and hilly roads uses up oil much
faster than city driving. Put In an
extra pint Of oil every hundred miles
or so. This %precaution will avoid
trouble with bearings or cylinders.
Once a month or every thousand
miles, the oil In the crank case should
be drained Off and a fresh supply
poured in. The oil may be drained by
removing the drain plug at the bottom
of oil pan. After draining, flush the
crank case with kerosene through the
breather pipe. replace drain plug and
with clean oil. BE absolutely sure
that all the kerosene Is drained off.

the confession is said to have been
presented.
Thompson declared that he had no

for his selection of the banker as his
expected victim was his need for ready
money.

Erecting the Platforms.

The platform makers in the po-
litical parties are now busy. or
course the platform of each po-
litical party will be actually put to-
gether by the committee on resolutions
of its national convention, but it Is
important for the leaders TO know
fairly well in advance what the plat
form Is to contain. The Republicans
are following a new plan this year in
getting up their platform. Last Janu-
AIRY. it will be recalled. the chairman
of their national committee, VIII ii.
Hays, created a committee on plat
form suggestions made up of more
than 100 mel and women representing
the various shades of opinion in the
party. This committee was divided
into subcommittee, each subcommit-
tee with a chairman.
The next step of the committee on
platform suggestions was to send out
a QUESTIONABLE to influential members
of the party. The questions embraced
a large range of subjects. These ques-
%tionnaires brought IN n large fund Of
information and the chairmen of the
subcommittee are now sitting this In
formation. At a meeting here the
other day they decided to take the
boiled down facts brought out by the
questionnaires and from them frame
recommendations to the convention
on resolutions. OF course

Pianks for the Democrats.

The Democrats have no committee
on platform suggestions at work, but
the chairman of their national commit
tee, Homer Cummings. and other men
connected with the national organiza-
ton have recently been putting In a
good deal of time on the platform. II
is generally assumed that President
Wilson will write the more important
planks. He has already written in
spirit at least the plank dealing with
the treaty Of peace and the League Of
Nations. In his recent letter to an
Oregon Democratic committeeman he
insisted that the party must stand by
the treaty and the League of Nations
covenant. He did not go so far as to
say hat the platform declaration must
say that there shall be no reservations.
but he did say hat it must not lend
its approval TO destructive reserva-
lions. 1t is generally agreed that in
its political convention neither party
will be able TO produce a plank dealing
with the League of Nations that will
satisfy all the members of the party.

Topics That Were Avoided.

The national committee of the Re
publican party deemed It advisable to
have the committee on platform sug-
gestions stay away from n few topics,
among them all matters relating to in
ternational affairs. and this includes
the treaty Of peace and the League Of
Nations; the tariff, the prohibition
question, and the arraignment OF the
Democratic administration. At recent
conferences here substantial agree
ment was reached as tn the wording
of the planks that will deal with the
treaty and the League of Nations and
the prohibition legislation. IL this
agreement stands, the platform will
first Of all condemn President Wilson
for his handling of the treaty and will
then in general terms indorse the ac-
ton of the senate in refusing to ratify
the treaty without reservations Amer
icanizing 1t.
In handling the subject of prohibit
tion it was the thought Of the men
who attended these conferences that
there shall be no specific reference to
the federal prohibition amendment or
the Legislation by congress under
which the amendment is enforced, but
instead a declaration In favor Of law
enforcement. In support Of this plan
1t is argued that nationwide prohibit
ton is a fact legally speaking. and
that there is no occasion for the party
to say that it favors or opposes prohi-
hilton in its present form. The Anti
Saloon league, ii is asserted. has indi-
Gated that a general declaration In
favor Of law enforcement is all 1t will

that are being made TO ne committee
on immigration. many industries are at
this time crippled because Of their ina
bility to employ sufficient labor, and
building operations and municipal pub
lie works are suffering in nearly every
section of the country. 1t is asserted
that there is not only a shortage o. la
Dor. but that the available supply OF
labor has been slowed down since the
world war. Thus far the committee
on immigration has not indicated
whether 1t will give serious considera-
ton to the demand that 1t shnll be
made easier for illiterate laborers to

In connection with the proposed re-
vision of the immigration law. the
house committee has been asked to
give consideration to a plan, which had
its origin in New York. for the crea-

TEST REPEALED
Labor Men Resign From Inter-
Racial Council; See Hand Of
Cheap Labor Employers.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Because
the inter-racial council favors repeal
ing the literacy test section of the
immigration law, John Golden and
John p. Frey have resigned from
that organization. The former is in
ternational president Of the United
Textile Workers Of America and the
latter is editor Of the Molders' Jour-
nal.
The unionists intimate that the in
ter-racial council is operated in the
interest Of employers. In referring
to the conference which acted on the
literacy test, the unionists say that
Throughout the whole session the
wishes of practically only one party
was heard, and these were not only
against any control of immigration
in the future, but for the repeal Of
the few restrictions now in exist
ence.
I'VE canont give our countenance
or Endorsement to the program which
the inter-racial council has recently
adopted, a program which would, in
addition to resulting injuriously to
the workers of our own country, fail
to provide any adequate rule for the
regulation Of immigration.'
