The Automobile Owners Obligation
Be Fair to the Manufacturer and
Dealer by Being Fair to Your Car

The writer recently saw comic in som.
paper In which a man was shown carefully
busting his new car and worrying because

was blank left 10 indicate the flight of
time and then the final picture. Here the
same man was shown in a car covered with
dirt and mud, while bystander says: Mis-
ter, your car looks awful 10 which the
man replies: II don't care as long as 1t
There was as much truth as comedy pict-
ured In this comic. That man. when his car
was new, was also extremely careful TO fin
ms grease cups regularly; to keep his radia-
tor filled and in short, do all he should do
10 take proper care OF his car, and, untor-
tunately, when he became careless about
the looks of his car, he also began 20 ne
gieet the mechanical parts OF II, and now
seldom fills his grease cups. and is contented
as long as the car runs.
II. when spring, or steering mechanism
bolt breaks on this mans car, he be told
that 1t broke because of his neglect and not
because OF a defect. he would probably be-
come quite indignant. Mr.. Reader, are you
this man? Are you the man who was bur-
iesqued as above? The writer must admit
himself.
Whenever there is n grease cup on your
car there are rubbing parts, and where there
is rubbing, there will be wear unless
lubricant be used. A pin two inches In d.
ameter Is not only twice as strong as n
pin one inch in diameter: II Is about eight
times as strong, the strength being proper
tional to the cube Thus you can see how
greatly the strength Of the various bolts Is
decreased by small amount OF wear.
Failure to the grease cups regularly
means that annoying rattle and that disa-
greeable squeak.
While you may sometimes feel that about
twenty-nine of the horses are dead in your
3o-horse power machine, nevertheless that
machine will do as much work for you as
thirty horses could do It will carry you 200
miles day; It Will take you further In
five minutes than horse will In half an
hour, without counting the time taken 10

required for harnessing one horse to the
lubricating of the equivalent OF thirty horses?

to the upbuilding of the business that
bears his name the best of his long ex-

Right now Walker Motors are offering

accounted for only by the circumstance
that the trucks were bought from banks

Too Much Oil.
AS rule YOU viii not err by giving too
much oil, but there Is one kind of mechanism,
10 which much damage can be done by Civ
ing too much oil ! refer to the electrical
Instruments; such as the magnetic, generator
and starting motor. Too much oil here may
cause bad short circuit and one which is
hard to locate and repair. BE sure that
you have read the paragraph in your In
struction book on the lubricating of these
parts. In many systems drop or two once
month Is enough.
Using Self Starter with Spark Advanced.
With the advent of the electric starter the
use of the spark advance and retard lever
has been much neglected. You would not
crank your engine by hand with the spark
advanced for fear that It viii kick back and
hurt you. So, why make the starting motor
run the risk OF being hurst by starting the
engine with the spark advanced? Many a
man has started his car IN this way hundreds
O: times. and then one day when the condi-
tior was just right the engine kicked bacH
and stripped the teeth off the flywheel or
ruined the starting motor. This meant re-
pair bill In the neighborhood OF $50.

To show how well he conquered this

that every year since starting in busi-

Franklin sales in the New York dis

The Wrangell sentinel., 1921-07-28

In spite of all the data that has been furnished by. the Town of Wrangell the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors is uncon- vinced as to the advisability of constructing a breakwater at Wrangell.
 The following letter from the acting district engineer is self explanatory:
 WAR DEPARTMENT, UNITED STATES ENGINEER OFFICE,
 JUNEAU, ALASKA,
 July IS, 1921. MT. J. c. Grant, Mayor,
 Wrangell, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 We are attaching 25 copies of circular letters from the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Washington, D. C., which has ref erence to the Wrangell Harbor pro. ject.
 As you will note, the Board ot Engineers contemplate rejection of this project, but, if requested to do so, will hold a hearing to receive any further facts that interested parties may care to present. Noth- ing further, however. can be done by this office. Any effort to secure an appropriation for the project should be from the citizens of Wrangell and others concerned, and should be addressed to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, Washington, and we pre- sume, might be forwarded through Mir. Sutherland, whom we are noti- lying by this same mail, of the Boards conte emplated action.
 N ill you kindly distribute these circulars and advise us at the earli- est date practicable the names of the parties to whom they are fur nished. This information is de- sired for forwarding to the War Department at Washington.
 Respectfully,
 c. s. Ward,
 Acting District Engineer.

 The River and Harbor Act ap- proved June ,, 1920, contained pro. vision for a preliminary examina- ton of Wrangell Har Dor, Alas ka. The required examination was made by the District Engineer, and pursuant to favorable recom- mendations thereon, survey was authorized. The report of the Dis trict Engineer on the survey is fa- vorable for the improvement of the locality to the extent of recommend ing a breakwater about 500 f.. long at an estimated cost of s5o,ooo
 In accordance with law, the re- port has been referred to the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Har- bors tor consideration and recom- mendation. From the information presented, the Board is not con- vinced of the advisability of the United States undertaking any im- provement at this locality at the present time for the following req sons:
 While small boats have been
 inconvenienced by wave action

 improvement would be entirely

 All parties interested in the pro- posed improvement are invited to submit, within a period of 50 days from the date of this notice, state ments and arguments bearing upon the necessity for the improvement in the interests of commerce and navigation. Such statements should

The Town Council andalso sev- eral private citizens, have already exerted their best efforts to con- vince the War Department of the urgent need of a breakwater at Wrangell. Therefore, if the De. partment is still unconvinced after all the argument and data that have been furnished it is doubtful if further efforts would be of any avail.

PARIS. April 26 (by Associated Press) Marshal Foch will preside at the ceremony which will take place at the Arc de Tromphe on May 5 to celebrate the tooth anniversary of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte. Standing by the arch graven with the names of Napoleons victories, the man whom many have come to con- sider as one of the greatest soldiers of all times, will make a fitting speech to honor a dead comrade.
 It is emphasized that the centen- ary celebration is in no way political in character but is merely a tribute to one of the greatest of French gen. erals.
 President Millerand, and the presi dents of the senate and chamber Bourgeois and Peret, are giving their support to the celebrations, which will include commemorative visits to Corsica, Elba, and to several battle fields where Napoleon gained his most famous victories.

OPPOSE SALE
 SEIZED SHIPS
 TO FOREIGNER

LONDON, April 26 (by Associated Press) The British chamber of ship ping has decided to oppose the sale to foreigners Of any of the merchant ships surrendered by the Germans. It holds that under no circumstances should any of them be sold back to the Germans. A vote to that effect was taken at a meeting of the coucl- cil just held to decide what dsposi- tion should be made of the vessels remaining in the possession of the British government.
 Lord Inchcape, who has been en- trusted with the sale of the vessels on behalf of the separations commits sion, said that 16S German ships had been privately disposed of to the Brit ish nationals, but good number still remained to be sold and the demand for them, owing to the slump in the shipping trade, has slackened. It had been suggested that some arrange ment might be considered whereby the market for the ships might be thrown open to the whole world.
 One Newcastle shipowner affirmed that England would be disgraced in the eyes of the world, if, after all her commerce had suffered from German submarines, any of the German ships were allowed to. go back to Germany particularly at the present prevailing low prices.
