OIL PUMP FIXED ON

Out Bearings.
illustration Shows Plan for Arranging
Force-Feed oiIino System at
Small Expense-operated by
One of the Cams.

On an automobile engine which was
oiled by the splash" system, 1t was
found that the tube which conducted
the oil from the fywheel to the front
part Of the engine became clogged,
and some burned-out bearings result
ed. To prevent the recurrence of this
accident, a. pump was installed in the
oil line and connected to be driven by
the cam shaft, as shown in the sketch.
The upper part of the motor crank
case, on the camshaft side, was drilled
out and tapped opposite one of the
cams, to take a brass tube, which was
threaded with a standapl pipe thread.
This tube was reamed out to q snug
fit for a small piece Of shafting, which
formed the plunger of the pump. An
other piece of tubing was screwed
onto the first at right angles, and to
the ends Of 1t, through two ball-check
valves, e attached the oil tubes
leading to the crank case and to the
bearings of the engine. These check
valves acted to prevent oil from flow
ing back to the crank case, while per-
hitting 1t to flow in the proper direc-
ton. On the end of the plunger was

Motorist III Unpleasant Predica--
ment Because He Failed to
Take Precaution.
NOTE CIRCUMSTANCES FULLY
Important Point offered for Jury's
Consideration Is Whether Car Was

Saves Worry.

To the owner Of q new car who Is
Just testing his wings, so to speak, on
the highway 1t may seem ghoulish to
talk OF what to do In case an accident
happens to his car or through it. But
we all know that accidents involving
motorcars do happen, though in a ma
30rity OF cases the car owner is not to
blame.
No matter how guiltless of wrong
the metorist may be unless he knows
what to do at the time the accident
occurs. knows how to protect himself,
In other words, he may find himself in
an unpleasant predicament simply be-
cause he has failed to take certain pre-
cautions.
Note All Circumstances.
To begin with, the car owner should
try to keep his mind as calm as pos
sdble and note all the attendant cir
cumstances at the time Of the acct
dent. He should get from any by
ISLANDERS their names and addresses
and also those Of people in nearby
Uu11uAueS, GIefANCA kAVSS ROASoAS Wv
messed the accident
: II the motorist knows that the fault
has not lain with him he should point
out to the people whose names he has
gathered particular phases Of the &C
cadent, measure any distances that may
be germane to the subject by pacing,
If no other means Is at hand. Be GER
tain to get some confederation of the
rate of speed at which the car was
being driven. If the horn or other
warning signal was sounded be sure to
have witnesses ready to help prove this
fact.
In case the accident has occurred at
the intersection of two streets, it is
important to prove that the vehicle
had been slowed down before coming
70 the crossing.
Rightful Place of Car.
One of the most important points Of
fered for a jury's consideration is
whether or not the car was in it's right
right hand side Of the thoroughfare,
where 1t belonged? Testimony to this
effect will help the defendant. If the
emergency brake was firmly set, IN
prejudiced witnesses may be shown
this for later use in court.
When an accident happens at night
1t Is important to prove that the lights
were properly burning and in order.
When the mishap occur in rainy
weather or when the streets are slip
the nonskid chains in place on
the tires.
In case the trouble came when the
car was making a turn, call attention
to the fact that it was making a wide
turn, in accordance with the statutes,
and was ON the proper side of the
road.
If a person has been injured, try to
remember his conduct just before the
accident. Was he behaving in a way
to make him guilty of negligence, as,
for instance, sheltering himself under
an umbrella, and not keeping a prop
er lookout? Were you, the operator,
looking ahead and tending to your
driving, or were you talking or other
wise permitting your attention to be
distracted?
II you can prove by measurements
that you brought your car to a halt
within the distance required for check
Ing the progress of a car driven within
the legal speed limit you will have
scored a distinct point.
