so mutilate and destroy them as to

called rebuilt tires
'I am of the opinion that the old
scrap rubber could be profltably used
In the making of sub-grades for high
ways. Roughly ground old rubber, say
TO about the size of q cubic inch, laid
down to thickness of four or five
inches, ! believe. could be used as IN
excellent base for highway building.
The surfacing could be of either mac
adam or concrete. Recent investiga-
tions of road sub grades indicate that
20 per cent of road failures are due to
faulty foundation and not TO the wear
ing surface.
IA sub-grade of rubber scrap would
not be expensive. 1t would, I believe,
afford great cushioning power to the
road to absorb the heaviest blows, and
would not resist the upheaval of the
road surfacing due to frost. It is the
resistance of the roadbed, as at pres
ent constructed, to surface expansion
which is responsible for cracks. A rub
Der sub-grade would give the neces-
sary play when frost is disturbing the
road.

The man with common sense will have
tucked away in the tool box, wrapped
and properly labeled, new set of
fuses.
But I did not set out to tell man
how to locate trouble in car, but
rather TO emphasize the fact that the
first thing needed Is common sense
Take the various knocks and rattles
that come at times TO almost every
car. It does not do TO jump at con-
clusion in such things. A click may
sound directly under your feet and
come from the difFerential or rear
hub, and the rattle that sounds like
the brake linkage or brake band may
be in the universal joint or some other
part.
Rattle in the brake linkagc does not
occur when the brakes are being
pressed, but rattle in tie universal

more perceptible when on down.
grade, where the car and motor strive
with one another, and taking up slack
in the universal Joint will be audible.
rattle that you do not l.otice on q
rough road is not likely to come from
loose part. Common sense comes
in closely observing all the conditions
which come with the rattle or knock,
or other disturbing sound. and gradu-
ally eliminating one part after an
other as the cause. Naturally, if you
go into the garage and tell the man
to tighten up your brake linkage he
will do it, and then maybe you will
find that was not what made the noise
that anneys you. Many noises are in
termittent, and that in itself should be
a guide because it eliminates so many
things. An intermittent click or pound
in the rear assembly, for instance, is
more than likely to be chip from a
broken gear tooth in the differential,
getting between the teeth every little
while. A bearing knock would be con-
tinuous, but chip of steel would
work through the grease and OCCASION
ally get between the gears.
Moral Is: Don't Fuss
The principal evidence of the lack OF
common sense when trouble comes is
that the driver fusses around aimless-
ly IN hunting the cause. 1t does not
make much difference where one starts
if one has plan and follows it log
ically through. If the engine won't
start it is the gasoline mixture, the ig-
milton or compression that is at fault,

Engines Seem to
Make" Oil Supply
I'm Winter Time
This L. Because Condensed
Low.Crade Fuel Works BY
Into Crank Case Unless
Right Lubricant Is Used

Motorists often stop to ponder the
question of what becomes of the oil in
the crank case Of the automobile en-
gihe. 1t is only recently that engi-
neers have discovered what happens.
They have known that the average
car requires 81 quart Of oil for every
rs to 200 miles, depending upon the
mechanical condition Of the engine.
Many an engine, however, seems never
to use any oil at all, but actually to
manufacture it. A long series Of
laboratory experiments were required
to determine what happens. They
were undertaken because the lubrica-
ton OF the automobile is the most i'm
portant point in it's operation.
The greatest cause of winter engine
trouble is contamination by unburned
fuel in the automobile engine, which
seems to maintain constant level of
oil no matter how far the car is driven.
Here is the chief cause OF over
heating. worn and burned out bearings.
scored cylinders, rapid carbonization
in winter time. Few motorists realize
that most cars overhead moro often
and foul the spark plugs more easily
IN the winter time than in the SUNNI er
time.
The cause of this Is simple. Much
of the low grade gasoline taken into the
intake manifold fails to vaporize. It
condenses on the cylinder walls and is
sucked down into the crank case. II
washes the lubricating oil off the pis-
tons. The immediate result is that this
unburned gasoline contaminates the
lubricating oil. AS fast as the oil in
the engine is used it is replaced by
gasoline, causing the driver to thinl
that he has enough oil in his crank
case In reality, after a few hundred
| miles of running, he may have nothing
there but adulterated fuel with nc
lubricating value. Then he is sure Of
| getting into serious trouble. The
thlnned down oil is sucked up into tn,
combustion chambers, where it for,n>

AIuIHOIS, OhlduOIIld.
Editor Ardmoreite,
Ardmore, Oklahoma.
Dear Sir:
The brick-masons of Ardmore wish
to thank you for the editorial in your
paper of May 18TH entitled Making
it Proportionate," in which attention
is called to the reduction in income de-
manded of the brick mason, carpen-
ter painter, etc, and in which you
state that the landlord, the manufac-
turer and retailer should each bear
his proportion of the reduction which
must be made before we can return
to 'normalcy."
We feel that the Ardmore local
unions have done their part in re
ducing the cost of building, and one
Of our reasons for having done this
is the splendid attitude of your paper,
and that of the citizens of Ardmore
in general, toward us.
We are an integral part of this
community, and our interests are iden-
tical with those Of the merchants and
other business men.
Yours very truly,
