Although the Twentieth Annual National

New York has never before contained
SO many thousands OF automotive manu-
facturers. dealers and buyers during Ma.

are claiming that this proves prohibition

when these thousands of men and women
IN and out of the automotive trades made
their reservations for New York hotels
months ago. they supposed that it would
be "a wet show week." and they wanted

Recently was told of a man who pur-
chased a high powered car and who
was ignorant OF the fact that oil and
grease played big parts ia its operation, A
few days later. when he was towed home
with badly dana ged engine, he said -
II thought such things as fabrication were

OF automobile abuses, careless lubrica-

mechanism that runs at high temperature

surface from burning each other, it is
necessary to prevent friction with film
of oil. If the oiling system is in good con-
clifton and the lubricant Of the proper con-
sistency. this protective finn will be pro-
vided automatically.
If the oil is not clean, IL it contains
dirt or grit, it will soon wear away the
metal parts, dirt acting as an abrasive.
Oil is liable to contain not only dirt and
carbon, but also gasolene and water. The
gasolene thins the OIL making it incapable
OF resisting the pressure between the rub
bing surfaces and wear increases. The
water forms an emulsion which has the
same effect, while in cold weather there is
always the danger of the water freezing
and clogging the lubricating system. AS
the average driver neglects to fill the oil
reservoir often enough. II is a good plan
to make a rule OF doing il every day. so
that there will be no chance of the engine
running without oil The instant the oil

be replenished. If this is not done there is
danger of the surfaces going dry. Keep
your oil tank filled at all times and make
sure that the lubricating system is in per-
feet order.

TRUCK BUYERS
NOW CONSIDER
AVERAGE ROAD
Few Truck Users Have to Haul Loads
Which Cannot Be Split Into
Average Units.

That truck users are more and more
coming to select truck to carry their
average load rather than one big enough
for their maximum load is the conclusion
OF j. j. Hunt, General Manager of the REQ
Motor Car Company Of New York.
There was time not so long ago when
the average buyer figured up the biggest
load that he would ever want to haul and
then tried to buy a truck big enough to
carry it, says Mr.. Hunt. 'But the ex-
perienced user has come to realize that
there is nothing so expensive as a truck
carrying half load unless it is the truck
which is so slow that il wastes the time of
an expensive driver.
Few users have loads which cannot be

biggest saving over the heavy truck are
on the occasions when the two-tonner
must travel with half load.
