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

A campaign to call attention to the
necessity of changing oil in motors
every so many hundred miles has been
advocated by M. 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-
day that it has a tendency to run
down past the pistons, get into the
lubricating oil and thin it. The ker-
osene cuts the thin film Of oil on the
wearing surfaces of the pistons, pis-
ton rings and cylinder walls.
Bugbear of lnefficiency.
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
a lubricating substance that has lost
considerable of it's 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 nOnlubricating
qualities of the oil that damage mo-
tors.
Result of Experiment.
A motor was brought into a shop
with almost .O15 inches wear. The
motor was ground to .O2O 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 dowr
It showed no wear.
The motor was again put together
oil was taken from an old truck anC
the motor was put through the same 6O
hour test without any change OF Oil
It showed .OO5 inches wear, indicating
that ;: is the nonlubricating qualities
of the oil resulting from the kerosene
working past the pistons and mixing
with if that cause the deterioration OF
motors.
The age of a motor may almost be
said to depend upon the number OF
times the oil is changed in it.

UNABLE TO IDENTIFY MUMMY
Quandary as to Disposition of
"OId Jimmy"

One of LOndon's problems at the
present hour is what to do with a
mummy that lies at the back of the
Mansion house in one of the Oldest
churches of that ancient city. No one
knows where it came from, and the
jocular element around the Mansion
house describe it as "Old Jimmy-a
former lord mayor of London" The
rector is in a quandary over it's dis
posal. The figure is perfectly pre-
served; eyes, hair, nose, teeth, nails
and ribs.
Inside the door of the mummy's box
is a glass lid, which was removed a
few days ago for the first time for
many years. The mummy was covered
with cobwebs, but was still in good
condition. 'It feels like leather" said
an OnlOOker as he touched "Old JIM
my's" elastic ribs. The rector invites
suggestions from the public as to what
to do with the mummy. The mystery
as to it's identity arises from the fact
that during the great London fire in
1866 it was hurriedly removed from
another church and placed where it
now lies so as to escape the ravages
