CHANGE OF OIL
TO SAVE MOTOR
Official of Large Motor Truck
Concern Urges Practice as
Protective Measure.
KEROSENE QUITE INJURIOUS
Little Chance Of Changing. Quality OF
Gasoline, Therefore Variation Of
fabrication Frequently 10
Strongly Advocated.

A campaign to call attention to the
necessity of changing oil in motors
every so many hundred miles has been
advocated by NJ. L. Pulcher, vice pres
ident and general manager of prom
inent motor truck company. He con-
tends that failure to change oil fire.
quently Is the main cause of the de-
teriOration of motors.
Mr.. Pulcher points out that there
is so much kerosene in gasoline to-
down past the pistons, get into the
Iubricating oil and thin it. The kef-
osene cuts the thin film of oil on the
wearing surfaces of the pistons, pis-
ton rings and cylinder walls.
Bugbear of lneffciency.
With the film of oil on the wear
ing parts of the motor broken. fric-
ton, the bugbear of motor efficiency,
starts in The pistOns work up and
down through broken films of oil in
lubricating substance that has lost
considerable of its richness and thick
ness.
There Is little chance of changing
the quality of the gasoline There
fore, to prolong the life of the motor
the only thing to do is to change the
lubricating oil frequently. possibly
every 500 to 1000 miles, he advocates.
An experiment witnessed by Mr..
Pulcher recently is instanced by him
as proof that it is the mountaineering
qualities of the oil that damage mo-
tors.
Result of Experiment.
A motor was brought into a shop
with almost .015 inches wear. The
motor was ground to 900 inches over
size, fitted with new pistons. put on
the block and filled with good, clean
oil. The motor was then run contin-
uously for 60 hours and during this
time the oil was changed three times.
When the motor was taken down
1t showed no wear,
tue motor was again put together
oil was taken from an old truck and
the motor was put through the same 90
hour test without any change of oil
1t showed .0Oo inches wear indicating
that g. Is the mountaineering qualities
OF the oil resulting from the kerosene
working past the pistons and mixing

The age of motor may almost be
said to depend upon the number OF
times the oil is changed in it.

ANYBODY Here Know Harding?

Unless some loyal citizen comes tt
the front with alacrity, Webster City
stands in danger of being scooped by
Waterloo. Doesn't anyone in this city
know the republican presidential noml'
nee? Didn't anyone go to school with
him, slide down his cellar door, swipc
apples with him, etc, etc. etc?
Waterloo has had this distinction and
here's what the Waterloo Courier
proudly prints:
Three men in Waterloo are greatly
rejoiced at the nomination Of Senator
Warren q. Harding for president by
the republican convention. 1t means a
probability that boyhood friend and
playmate will become the chief eXecu-
tive of the nation, and when he occupies
the White House they can point with
pride to the fact that they were bare
foot boys together with the president
of the United States.
o. c., +. c., and J. L. McClintOn,
brothers, were born and reared on a
farm adjoining that of DR.. Harding, at
Blooming Grove, o.. Il small inland
town where Warren Harding and his
seven brothers and sisters lived. The
boys of the two families were much
together, joining in the homely sports
and fun of Il rural community.
In those early days, the Hardings
did not have much money, and Warren,
with the others, had to do the chores
and labor common about the farm. He
often went fishing, swimming and
horseback riding. n everything, with
the McClinton boys. His father, known
as Old Doc Harding, trod the hard path
of country doctor. while the rest of
the family ran the farm, according to
the "reminiscences of O. c. McClinton.
Warren was studious, industrious and
ambitious. He left the farm and taught
school for while; worked his way
through college and learned the print
crs trade at the same time. Mr.. Nc
Clinton remembers well when the nomi
nee for president bought the Marion, O.,
Star, which he still owns, and through
the editorial influence of which he rose
to be United States senator. 1t wasn't
much of paper, then, and Harding
had big fight to gain recognition and
make the paper Il paying proposition.
He had the opposition of the city adj
and competing paper
with financial backing. He won out,
and the Star became power in the
state.
When asked about Mr.. Harding's
chief traits Of character. Mr.. McClin-
ton said he has the reputation in his
home state of being n deep thinker
inclined to conservatism. He stated
that the nominee will thoroughly think
| proposition through before giving
his ideas about 1t. M
Mr.. McClintOn is "a democrat. but he
was glad to pay his, tribute to the good
name and sterling character of Sena-
tor Harding.

If life were only love, then life would
AS wearisome as an untroubled sea:
Monotonous as prairies in the sun,
Level and long. which even the gods

But life is love for only one brief hour
There is a moment when the perfect

Blossoms and breaks, dew-wet and

A lily on the clear glass of a pool.
One instant-sO it seems-of rich, high
joy;
And then the fates who build, also de-

And the white moment passes. Love is

Yet there can be no life without that
hour;
And pressed within LIES book there is a
flower.
