No car owner of the present day
needs TO be told how important lubfi'

Of the motor car. However, there are
certain forms of lubrication failure
that the owner often does not realize
as existing He does not attribute TO
them the troubles which they have
really caused.
For instance, it is a very common
characteristic of automobile engines
to develop a tendency to allow the
fabrication oil to leak past the piston
rings into the combustion chamber,
where it scots the plugs, induces the
smoking of an aggravated character
and forms extremely heavy carbon
deposits. Frequently car owners com
plain of the carboniZing tendency or
their engines without realizing ap-
parently that the trouble is due 10

Just enough to prevent leakage, and
still not cause the ring 10 stick. The
rings should be Tapped in size and
ring fittings should be done By ex-

There has been a tendency in re

the KEY to the whole situation.
The fabrication of the engine cNiin-
der involves good many problems
and some cooperation on Tie part
of the user if they are to be salts
factorily solved. The ideal condition,
of course, is to have just enough oil
supplied to keep the cylinders prop

ideal is difficult to achieve and in
practically every engine there is a
certain amount Of leakage. In most
cases this is kept low enough to keep
carbon and other troubles from the
acute stage.
Every car manufactures recon-

used In his engine, and his advice
should be rigidly adhered to by the
car owner In case there is any ques-
