THE DEMON BUZZ-BUGGY.
Water IN Crank Case Oil.

Few motorists realize that a
comparatively large quantity of
water gradually aCcumulates in the
crank case, mixing with the oil
and forming an emulsion which has
impaired lubricating qualities. This
accumulation of water is more pro-
nounced in winter than in summer
and is found to a greater extent as
the number of cylinders increases.
This brings out the Importance of
changing the oil every 1000 miles,
and for the best lubricating re-
suits every 500 miles, In which case
the old oil may be run through a
chamois skin to remove the water,
after which it may be used again.

A Little Common Sense.

Why do American motorists
like to speed? 1t is not because
of the sensation entirely. the
police officials say. And it is
not because all of them are de-
sirous Of flying in the face Of
the law. The speed mania is
but an evidence of the mental
makeup Of the average Ameri-
can.
The Yankee idea IS to get
somewhere by the fastest
method We are living in an
age of speed. The need for in
creased production, with its ac-
Companying demand for more
speed, has been impressed upon
the public mind. and particu-
larly has been impaired to the
motorists.
The American autoist, out for
a spin on country roads. only
wants to find himself moving at
a pleas >rable rate OF speed.
But what Of the car owners
who disregard speed regula-
tiOns while driving on the city
streets?
Many accidents have been
caused by this disregard of
rules. Yet the motorist is help
less. He is subservient to the
American speed principle The
facilities which enable him to
reach the end of his journey in
the shortest possible time are
at his finger tips VIII he let
this power lie dormant? He
will not. Rather, he throws
caution to the wind-and
speeds.

Car for Rural De-

With a record OF power and en-
durance as yet unsurpassed, the
Duplex Limited truck is being dem

this city. william P. Killeen, with
Offices and service station at 624 l.
street southeast, is the distributor.
He also is the distributor in Wash
ington and adjacent territory of the
Moore mechanical hosting and
dumping bodies for trucks
The Duplex Limited, the truck
that gets there ION time all the
time" is one of the sturdiest built
and most easy riding trucks on the
market. 1t rides like a passenger
car and is utterly devoid of the vi
bratiton usually found in heavy
duty trucks. So enthusiastic is the
distributor over the possibilities of
the Duplex Limited that he is ready
and willing to put It to any kind of
test that may be asked of him. One
of them has just been turned over
to the Postofice Department for
test on rural mail routes and will
be used for a month on the run from
Washington to Baltimore, via Fred
erick, Md, Harpers Ferry, w. Va,
and Hagerstown. Nd.
Asks Hard Tests.
In seeking tests, Mr. Killeen asks
that the truck be taken over the
worst roads. and gives the assurance
that it will arrive at its destination
on time and without the need of any
kind of help.
1t is equipped with HinkIey
heavy duty motor, developed by the
man who was chairman Of the
board which designed for the gov
eminent the now famous Liberty
motor which was used by the United
States during the world war.
