LUbR|CATION IF
 ENGINE SHOULD
 BE UNDERSTOOD
By Luke McGlook

No car owner of the present day needs to be told how important lubri- cation in all it's many aspects is in contributing to the life and efficiency of the motor car. However. there are certain forms of fabrication fail ure that the owner often does not realize as existing. He does not at tribute to them the troubles which they have really caused.
 For instance, it is a very common characteristic of automobile engines to develop tendency to allow the lubricating oil to leak past the pis- ton rings into the combustion cham Der. where it scots the plugs, in duces the smoking of an aggravated character and forms extremely heavy carbon deposits. I have fre- quently encountered car owners who complain of the carbonizing tend ency of their engines without real tzing apparently that the trouble is due to improper fabrication or to a minor trouble in the. engine, which can be remedied without any trouble at all.
 The common name for this leakage of oil Is ''oil pumping" and it's fruits are carbonized motor. or sooty, oily plugs, which induce ignition trouble in more or less aggravated form I have known car owners to spend goodly sums of money in changing spark plugs, installing new piston rings and even replacing the pistons, to cure a chronic case of oil pumping, and all to no use, for the simple reason that they had neg lected some little seemingly minor detail that was the key to the whole situation. It is all the very human
Arizona republican., 1921-09-11

falling of not being able to dis tinguish between cause and effect. Sooty spark plugs do not arrive at that condition without some primal cause, and changing plugs without curing the disease is like bathing a cancer with witch hazel.
 The fabrication of the engine cylinder involves a good many prop lems and some co cooperation on the part of the user if they are to be satisfactorily solved. The ideal con- dition, of course, is to have just enough oil supplied to keep the cyl finders properly fabricated, but not so much that it will work past the rings into the combustion chamber. In practice this ideal is difficult to achieve and in practically every en- zine there is certain amount or leakage. In most cases this Is kep' low enough to keep carbon and otn- CT troubles from the acute stage.
 If, however, the oil level in the crankcase is too high the leakage will be accelerated with the usual results. Furthermore, it is possible to get this same condition by the use of an incorrect grade of oil. If too thin an oil is used the lubricant will force Its way past the rlngS into lhe combustion chamber. In many cases the car owner uses an oil of too thin a body and when rapid car bonization takes place he suspects the pistons, the rings and almost everything else except the true cause of the trouble. Every car manufacturer recommends a certain grade of oil to be used in his engine and his advice should be rigidly ad- hered to by the car owner. In case there is any question in the matter the advice of the service station should be asked. The commonly recommended lubricant is a medium body oil. but this is not universal, SC the car owner should make abso- lutely sure of his ground in this vi- tally important matter.
 It is also true that a heavier grade of oil is usually needed in summer than in cold weather. Heat tends tc reduce the body of oil, thinning out the viscosity just as it does with mo- lasses. Very often, too, a heavier oil is needed in old cars than the one which served very well when the ve- hicle was young. The reason for this

PENSIONS GIVEN EMPLOYES OF THE
 FRANKLIN PLANT

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 19-Es- tablishment of a pension plan which will reward old and faithful employees was announced today by the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing company, makers of the Franklin car.
 The plan provides. first, for the re- tirement on regular allowance of all male employees who have reached the age of TO years and all female em- ployes who have reached the age of SO, and who have been Is years or longer in the company's service. Ex- captions are made in individual cases where an employe requests that re- tirement be deferred until some later date.
 Retirement also is provided for any man who has reacher the age of 65 and any woman of 55 who has been 20 years or longer in the company's s employ. Retirement on allowance in this case is granted at the request of the individual or at the discretion of the factory committee administer ing the plan.
 Ten-year employees also may be re- tired on regular allowance if physical examination determines the fact that they are permanently and totally in- capacitated for serviec provided the incapacity is not covered by award of the state workmen's compensation laws. Employees whose age makes retirement advisable also are cared for under this heading
 Annuities are paid monthly by check and do not initiate against an employe entering other work not prejudicial to the interests of the company. Annuities which may be authorized are from 1 F per cent of the average pay for 10 years preced- ing retirement. provided payment never shall be less than $250 per year or not more than 50 per cent of the annual wage. Payments ordinarily terminate at the death of the bene- ficiary, but may be continued for a year in the case of needy dependents
 The plan, covering as it does inca pacitated employees of 10 years serv- 1 ice to those who have been 20 years 1 in the service of the company, as well as looking out for needy depend I ents, is regarded as exceptionally 1 broad in scope. It was adopted after a year of study of all known plans of industrial pension by H. c. Blag- I brough, head of the industrial rela- l tions department and George s Butcher. employment manager. 1 The plan will be administered by 2 1 factory committee comprising MT 1 Blagbrough, Mir. Butcher, also presi- l dent of the employees mutual benefit
 society, William Dunk, production manager, s. E. Alderman. sales man. | ager and c. E. Hull, assistant treas l urer.

TRUCKING ID BE PLACED ON REAL
 SYSTEMATIC PLAN

NEW YORK. Aug. 1s.-A tangible plan was started and definite actlon taken to place ss-country trans portation on an economic and busi- ness-like basis at the Highway Transport Education Committee con- ference held at the University Of Maryland last week. Trucking has long since become definite factor in our daily transportation and the var ious routes to all parts of the country are to be systematized in order that time and expense may be saved and for the assurance that only the best and most direct routes will be used between two points.
 Charles s. Howe, president of the Case School of Applied Science, pre- siding; Professor J. G. Mckay. Uni versity of Wisconsin. and Professor W. K. Hiatt, National Research Council, with other educators, out lined constructive programs for re-
 search into finance, valuation, trans portation, administration, instruc- tion, maintenance and other factors entering into the costs of highway transport.
 Roy D. Chapin, chairman of the highways committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. called attention to the fact that those interested in highway transport have the benefit of canal and railroad expe-
 rience and consequently do not need to make the mistakes of former pio-
 neers in transportation. By placing 1 the roads and motor transport ques- tion on a business basis the full ben efits of the investment can be re- 1 alized.
 l Motor transport is of particular in l terest to the farmer. l.. M. Esta- | brook, assistant director of the U. s,
 bureau of market and crop estimates l indicated, since 153.400.000 tons of
 farm products are transported over | the highways to the railways annu- ally and additional thousands of tons
 are carried on the highways directly
 to the markets.
 | A. M. Loomis of the National
 Grange said that the farmer is fully
 as much interested in the carriage
 of goods from the market to his farm
 as he is in the haulage of produce to
 market. It is essential to the farmer
 therefore. that transportation be con-

r FACTORY ORGANS ON
 .READJUSTME EN I

Factory newspapers in Americas automobile industry are taking the lead in bringing to the wage earner a realization of the fundamental part which wages and wage readjustments play in creating the balance of busi- ness" so necessary to complete re- turn of normal trade.
 The factory newspaper is not an old institution. While a number of the larger industrial institutions of the country created the plant paper management and worker before the war, the true value of the factory paper was not demonstrated until war days, the rumor makers were working and stories calculated to weaken the morale of the worker were circulated daily.
 It was found that the factory news paper best offset the efforts of the agitator and the enemy propagandist to disrupt the efforts of America s great army of workers. And with the close of the war, leaders in every industry, aroused to the value of this new agency for bringing the man. agement and worker into closer con- tact agreed that the factory paper was too valuable an instrument to be

 In the present struggle between various working groups of the coun- try to force workers in other groups to accept wage reduction. the factory newspapers are proving of great value to the workingmen.
 As instancing the excellent work which is being done in this direc- ton, an editorial in a recent issue of The Willys News. plant newspaper of the Willys- Overland company, may be cited
 This editorial, in simple language tells to the thousands of the com pany's skilled mechanics just why business in general has slackened and just how each workman can aid in bringing business back to normal.
 It makes clear to the workmen that the low prices of the cars they make are due in part to wage readjust ments points out that the farmers have accepted wage cuts and also tells of great groups who have re- fused as yet to cooperate in the work of bringing business to a nor nal balance in values. By this method of direct presenta- ton of the situation Willys- Overland is preventing any spirit of panic from 1 invading it's force of workers And by this means it is also insuring that it's product will be made by mer

That 80 per cent of the automo- piles stolen in Chicago are disposed of with the consent and knowledge of the owners. is the charge said to have been made by the automobile squad of the Chicago police depart ment. One of the officers attached to this squad says he knows of sev- eral instances where cars have been insured as 1920 models. whereas they were really five and six years old. The high 1920 prices, of course, are more attractive to the dishonest in- surer. This police official contends that the only solution that will stop

DIR. Levy has caused severe critf-
cism by members of the board.
At the meeting yesterday after
noon the committee on the sanitary
code, comprising DR.. r. B. Fitz
Randolph, d. 7. Bowen and DR.. A.
Clark Hunt. reported that following
the boards direction it had request
ed from Attorney General McCran
on the legality of section eight of
the code relating to the issuing of
licenses to conduct boarding houses
for children. The committee re-
that the Attorney General
declined to prepare such an op1n-
ion because DIR. Levy had recon
nIended him not to do so.
1t was. claimed that DIR. Levy had
consulted with the legal department
OF the state and had learned that
IL an opinion were given it would
probably hold hat although the

such institutions, it had no power
to license them. 1t is said that this
opinion not being in accord with DR.
Levy's views and not suiting him,
led to his suggestion that no for

pected that the hearing July IL
the whole matter will be aired
will be a lively one.
