Parcel Post Extension
 Would Cut Profiteering

Extension and development of the parcels post would be an excellent thing for this country, says an exchange. It would be a potent factor in the elimination of gambling and jugglingin the necessities of life. It would reduce the number of middlemen who are fattening at the expense of the consumer.
 These middlemen and gam blers who juggle the products before they reach the retailer or consumer are responsible for much of the skyrocketing which has cursed this country Ot late years. There IS no end to their rapacity.
 With a practical extension of the parcels post the retail CT and the consumer could order the bulk of his supplies direct from the manufacturer or the farm.
 Manufacturers and farmers could sell their products as easily through newspaper and magazine advertising as they do now through the present method of sending hordes of salesmen throughout t h e

CLEAN DEPOSITS
FROM OIL BASE
Sediment and Muck Accumulate
Much Faster Than the Car
Owner Ever lmaglnes.
NASTY BUT NECESSARY JOB
Small Lumps Of Carbon From cylin.
ders, Sand From Road and Metal
Turnings Have Been Found
Give Engine Needed Care.

(By WILLIAM II. STEWART. JR., Pres
ident Of the Stewart Automobile
School.1
What a world Of trouble you are
storing up for yourself IL you do not
drop the oil base and clean II. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster than
you think and sooner or later you will
have a ruined engine on your hands.
1t Is not sufficient to change the oil
regularly, as advised by the manufac-
turer. The oil base should be taken
down and the deposits removed occa-
sionally.
Nature Of Accommodations.
The first time you do this you will
be surprised at the nature of the ac-
c%umulations. Small Jumps Of carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the road.
even particles Of metal turnings left
there ,yhen you a came from the
factory, have all been found in the
oil base. But worst of all Is the thick
muck of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and sink
to the bottom, but the muck remains
even after the base is drained Of the
old oil.
The advice usually given to the mo-
torist may be summed up as follows:
"Drain out all the old oil, replace the
plug and fill to the usual level with
kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 80 seconds. and then drain the
oil base. Repeat If thought necessary.
This stirs up the muck and sediment,
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings are
cleaned with q minimum Of effort and
without removing the crank case"
Grit Spiashed Around.
"Stir 1t upl" Indeed, the grit
which should lie dormant until scraped
out by hand is stirred up and splashed
all around the crank case and also
carried into the bearings. 1t forms a
fine grinding compound, which either
shortens the life Of the bearings or
clogs up the Oil holes. causing the bear
ings to run dry. The result is even
worse If the oiling system Is one Of
the present type forcing oil through a
hollow crank-shaft directly into the
bearings. Right into the bearings,
mind you! and under pressure, tool
Can anyone defend this method after
realizing what this means? 1t is not
q sufficient answer to say that the oil
must pass through a stralner.
SO although 1t is a dirty job and a
.disagreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning, 1t is the only
way to give your engine the care it
really needs

F. Fl. Akers, Chicago, manager OF
a large automobile concern. has pre-
scented the results Of some ~investiga-
lions relative to motor stages and
freight lines.
While Mr.. Akers believes in COM
mon with many other automobile men
that rural express lines have a future
before them, he has run across sew
eral problems which must be met and
solved before they can be a complete
success. He advocates the establish
ment of a rural express commission
operating under the state government,
and regulating rates, competition, etc..
as a protection to this very young In
dustry. Here Is a case which Nh.
Akers investigated:
mot long ago one of our truck deal
ers in Washington saw a very feasible
u~ntraversed motor express route be-
tween a small town and a fairly good
sized city. A young clerk in a clothing
store had consistently saved his mon
ey-had been reading the govern
ment's propaganda-and saw in the
rural express idea an opportunity OF
becoming his own boss-a proprietor
of a rural express line-with every
chance to expand. The young man
enlisted the help Of the truck dealer.
Together they canvassed the mer-
chants In the town and were assured
of enough business to make the line
pay, providing a reasonable amount
of freight could be secured In the
city to haul back.
'The young mar purchased the
truck and soon had a thriving little
Perth Amboy evening news., 1920-02-28

haul at either end Of the rail and wa
ter routes-that Is, In haulage by
highway. There are tremendous pos
sibilities In savings in this direction.
Careful investigation by the depart
ment of agriculture last year show
that haulage from farms to shipping
points costs less than half as much
by motor truck as by horse and wagon,
even under present conditions of the
highways. Thus, the average cost Of
hauling wheat by wagon was 80 cents
a ton for each mile, while the cost
with motor trucks was only is cents;
to haul corn by wagon cost 33 cents
per ton-mile as against 10 cents by
truck, and to haul cotton by wagon
cost 48 cents compared with Is cents
by motor truck.
TraiIers Lower Rates.
Even these comparatively low rates
for hauling with motor trucks can
be cut in half by the general use Of
trailers, since the hauling capacity
of a truck can be doubled or even
tripled in many cases by towing n
two loaded trailers behind the
truck, using a Remi-trailer with the
truck.

Our faulty distribution Of food
stuffs and other necessaries Of life is
responsible to q considerable degree
Tor high prices to consumers. Official
Investigations show that 1t costs as
much to deliver farm products from
railroad terminals at New York to city
consumers as to ship them by rail
from points as distant as Buffalo, or
to deliver a ton of coal in Chicago
as to ship II from the mines in south
ern Illinois.
High Cost Of Hauling.
On the other hand the cost Of haul
ing products from the farm to the
shipping points and to take manu-
featured goods back to the farm is
double or triple what 1t need be. These
transportation costs at both ends of
the rail haul must be added to the
prices charged for farm and factory

car company.
First assume that you must look
out for yourself and the other feiioW'
too. Don't rely wholly on the other
fellow doing the right thing and you1i
be on your guard If he does the wrong
thing.
Never back or swing from the curb
into the street without looking back to
see If the way Is clear.
Glance both ways on each cross
street. and If you're not on the main
thoroughfare slow down before you
cross. It's safest to drive slowly
enough to have the car well under
control where buildings hide intersect-
ing streets.
DO not cut corners In turning, but
keep to your side Of the street and
look both ways before you make a
turn.
Put out a hand as a guide to the
car following or approaching.
If passing a slower vehicle pass on
your left, but in passing a street car
always keep to the right.
Do not follow another vehicle too
closely. 1t might stop suddenly.
Stop when the street car ahead Of
you stops and stand still till all pas
sengers getting off are out Of the

AUTO DRIVING IS
RIGHT EXERCISE
San Francisco Physician Sees
Not Only Physical, But
Mental Benefits.
IS STARTLING HYPOTHESIS
Takes Exception to Often Repeated
objection That General Zee Of
Motors 10 peterioratina-
Muscles Developed.

That motoring is probably the finest
form Of exercise for the average man
and woman Of today Is a somewhat
startling hypothesis. Most Of us do not
consider the driving Of a motorcar In
the light of exercise at all. In fact
one frequently hears regret expressed
that the general use Of motor vehicles
has interfered with habits of exercise
that are important to Jul natural we'll
being.
A San Francisco physician takes e1.
ception to this view of motorcar driv-
ing and shows that instead 1t Is posi-
lively beneficial. He Classics Its bene-
fits under three heads-physical, men.
tai. and what he terms volitional.
Essential Merit.
'It Is the muscles Of the arms, to.
gether with those of the chest and
abdomen, that prominently and habit
ually suffer" he says. Here we find
lack Of development. s~oftness, fabbi-
ness and the accumulation OF unwhole-
some fat. And 1t is precisely here that
the steering wheel Of the car may come
to the rescue. 1t Is true that the
handling Of the wheel, particularly If
the car Is small, is not a very siren
uous form Of exercise, but that. in
stead of being a defect, is an essential
merit.
Their best interests are met by
precisely the kind Of efforts that the
steering wheel, supplemented by the
handling of the gear and brake levers,
requires, namely, mild but persistent
action, which involves, first and last,
virtually all the muscles Of the arms,
chest and abdomen.
Benefits Derived.
"When you drive a car 40 or Sc
miles over average American roads
or a fraction of that distance in the
city, you give your arms and torso a
course of purposeful calisthenics that
rebounds directly to the benefit of your
muscles, arteries and heart, and indi.
rect,y. but no less significantly. to the
benefit of your digestive apparatus, and
the organs Of elimination, and blood
and nervous systems"
The doctor proceeds to point out
that, in addition to the exercise, the
motorist has been in the open air, buff
feting the winds, inhallng ample guam
titles of oxygen to meet the increased
need Of the accelerated currents OF
blood corpuscles, and that digestion
and assimilation are thereby facili
tated and the toxic products accumu
lated through former inaction are in
increased oxidized and elm
