of this practice that many owners
complain of a knock soon after the
bearings have been taken up.
Proper Alignment important
In fitting crankshaft bearings other
troubles may creep in. One of the
main difficulties lies in getting the
bearings properly aligned. This is al
most impossible when the bearings are
fitted from underneath simply by fit
ting one cap at a time. This amounts
to simple Tightening without any
thought to fitting or alignment. If. for
example. the front bearing is scraped
more than the center bearing there is
a tendency for the shaft to defect up
ward and throw the crankshaft gear out
of proper mesh with the others. If the
bearings are taken up too much or IT
alignment is not considered. thep 1t is
likely to interfere with. clutch opera
ton and also to upset the alignment
to the connecting rods. 1t is because
of alignment. difficulties that many
unsatisfactory jobs are turned out and
she driver then complains of a noise
in the front end, or piston and pin
noises. If the bearing wear is only
slight SO that the SHIN thickness is re
duced but little and simply the high
spots of the bearing removed. then the
shaft is not thrown out of alignment
sufficiently to cause any trouble.
Another very important considera-
ton bearing wear is that of wear of
the crankshaft bearing surfaces. The
~crankshaft or main bearing surfaces
may wear oval or become cut. with the
result that no bearing can-s be fitted
until after the crankshaft surfaces are
made round and true. Very often
crankpins wear oval and start the bear
ings to wear rapidly and lated pound
and if such a bearing is simply taken
up it will loosen in Il short time.
The only proper way to refit bear
ings hat are worn to any extent is to
do the work with the engine out of
the chassis, or at least the crankshaft
out. This will insure a perfect job.

will discover these virtues and know
their bearings upon performance and
long life, just as did one Harold Will
liam Mansfield of Los Angeles.
Mr.. Mansfield is in charge of the
mechanical arts department of the
southern branch of the University of
California. He is also supervisor OF
the rehabilitation department for dis
abled veterans. The scope of his de-
partment teachings includes the tear
ing down and r~eassembling of motors
and motor cars.
"Mr. Mansfield recently purchased a
Chalmers Six of the new series. Be-
fore doing so he gave the car a thor
ough g%Oing-over and sent two of his
instructors to do likewise.
Beauty and satisfactory perform,
ance were not the only virtues they
sought. Beneath the surface they
looked for the hidden qualities which
guarantee lasting satisfaction. That is
why Mr.. Mansfield bought a Chalmers

used in many repair shops on certain
makes of cars. Running in produces
a good fit. but it is not as good a job
as accurate hand s%craping for the lat
ter does away with any possibility of
training. parts while the bearings are
being run in.
How to Do 1t Right
In fitting connecting rod bearings
with the engine in the chassis, it is
necessary to remove the bearing caps
and reduce shin thickness. Then the
bearing halves are spread with blue
and the parts re-installed. The en-
CINE is then turned over by hand, the
bearing cap again removed. and wiped
with q cloth to see where the high
spots exist. These high spots are
scraped off. The same should be done
with the upper half of the bearing, but
often it is not done. The object
should be to get the bearing to make
the same circle as the %crankpin. but if
only the lower half is scraped to a fit,
that is. if it is simply frightened in place,
then the bearing does not fit properly.
It may not cause knocking for a while,
but it certainly will not last very long.
To do the job right both upper and
lower halves should be scraped until a
bearing spot is obtained uniformly over
the babbitt. Another important point
is to get each bearing to RI with the
degree of t%ightness. This is i'm
possible if the bearings are fitted one
after the other, for after one bearing
n two or three are tight you cannot
tell how tight the next one is by crank
ing the engine by hand. 1t is because

Barney ldded says:
RAP BEARINGS

One of the most delicate and i'm
portant maintenance operations on an
engine is that of re-fitting the main
and connecting rod bearings and while
it is done every day in garages and
shops a fairly high percentage of the
workers make errors. In the auto
mobile factories the work is done
under ideal conditions with the engine
~dismantled, but in the shop it often is
necessary to do the work with the en-
CINE In place. This offers o%pportuni-
ties for trouble.
The modern production methods in
large factories have made it
necessary to do away with hand scrap
ing and employ a quiker means-that
of running-in the bearings. This con-
sists simply of bringing the bearing
halves to a tight fit and then running
the engine by application of outside
power until the bearing has been worn
down to a fit. This sane method is

properly set, make sure the vacuum
tank is o. K. and that it is not over
flowing into the acu line. That
latter is a common cause Of the
trouble you mention.
Dear Barney Oldfield: What do

| would say it was caused by one Of
the following:
1. A bad gasoline leak in the tank
line or carburetor.
?. Tight brakes.
3. A slipping clutch.
4. Badly worn cylinders.

BRAVE INDIAN WOMAN SAVED LIVES ..~-.-..
OF TWO CHILDREN AND HERSELF WHEN

FACED BY TERRIFIC

I dian wife of Pierre Dorion stands out
in bold relief. Her courage, her en-
durance and her persistency to save
the lives of her two half breed boys
in the face of Il fight against the
hardshps and rigors of winter
which she spent in the snowbound
Blue Mountains is in itself an epic.
Major Lee Moorhouse has studied
the story of the Dorion woman. She
was Sioux and married Dorion. who
was q F'renChman. She always ac-
companied him on all of the eXpedi-
tiOns he made as a hunter and trap
per 1t was while they were on an eX-
pcdition with Il Mr.. Reed on the Snake
river that the adventures recounted in
this story befel her
Some of her descendants later were
among those who acquired land on the
umatilla reservation. They lived near
Adams at one time. Trace of them
now has been lost. The Hotel Dorion
in Pendlcton, formerly the st. George,
is named in honor of the courage and
memory of the Indian woman. The
story as it is rccounted by Alexander
Ross and Gabriel Franchere, by the
former in greater detail, and by the
latter in more fragmcntary way, is
as follows:

Old "TraiI' Historical.
The odd Oregon Trail is the most
remarkable highway of travel known
to history. Tho great idea Of the trek
across what was then known as the
Great American Desert came from Il
common desire for homes and for ad-
venture and needed not the appeal Of
a colonization expert to enlist re-
cruits. The route was not laid out by
highway engineers, no grades were
established and no streams were brdg
ed.
No signs told of a dangerous curve
or a perilous cross ng, and none were
needed Only one sign on the entire
road and that at the forks Of the Santa
Fe and the Old oregon Trail ana that
one reading "Road to Oregon" But
the deep tracks the wagons left, was
all the sign that was necessary No
gravel was spread over the roadway to
combat the dampness and dust. Dur
ing the freshets of spring, the streams
were either forded or ferried, the wa
gon boxes being utilized as miniature
ferries. In the heat of the summer,
when the verdure of the hills and val
leys were withered and dead, the wild
game all departed to better feeding
grounds, the drinking water being
brackish and alkaline and q tOrrid
sun beating down with unabatcd in
tensty, the Trail became Il nightmare
of suffering and desolation, bOrdered
with the skeletons of horses, mules
and oxen and the graves of fallen
homeseekers with crude headstones
which told the piteous story of hard
ships and suffering too great to be en-
dured. And so, the Old Oregon Trail |
was, in its winding course, the Trail |
of romance. adventure, hope, faith and |
achievement as well as the Trail of |
misery, tragedy, hardship, despair and |
death.
But history so records that great |
things are accomplished only through |
suffering, sacrifice, devotion and death
and because by these things an ean-
pire was reclaimed by the intrepid pi-
Oneer of the Old Oregon Trail and
great civilization founded along its
course, the Old oregon Trail stands by
itself apart from all others, the great
highway of highways, reckoning the
red blooded men and women of these
United States to the great northwest
into whose lap generous Creator had
poured with lavish hand wealth or
scenery, resources, health ana content
ment
That the suffering, hardslips and
death of that brave band shall not go
unnotced and unsung, it Is the inSpir-
ed duty of those enjoying the bless
ings of our modern CiViiHatiUn to see
that the name of the old Oregon
Trail go down in history as the great
est road of all times and its memory
made imperishable by 4 grateful peo-
pie.

FAMED DOCTOR IS TO VISIT
 AMERICA

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Dr. Au- gust Krogh, of Copenhagen, Denmark winner of the 1920 Nobel Prize ill med icine, will visit the United States next fall, according to an official announce ment just received from the Dan{sh capital. The doctor will be accom- panied by his wife, Dr. Marie krogh, also noted scientist.
 The main purpose of Dr. kroph S visit is to accept invitations from nu- merous American universities anG scientific institutions to lecture be- fore them; particularly upon the sub feet of the capillary circulation, re- garding which he is recognized throughout the world as leading authority.
 Dr. August Krogh is professor of zoophysiology at the University Of Copenhagen and is member of the Royal Danish Academy of Science. He was born in Denmark forty-elght years ago and as early as 1906 won the Austrian Seegen prize for his re- searches in connection with the res piratory exchange.
 His greatest achievement, and the one which brought him the Nobel award, was the discovery of the capil- larimotory regulation mechanism. Since Harvey, three hundred years ago. discovered the circulation of the blood and Malpighi, nearly fifty years later evolved his theory of capillary circulation, no greater contribution than Dr. Kogh's has been made to that important branch of physiology.
 cAPILLARIEs HAVE FUNCTION
 Scientists formerly believed that the finest blood vessels, the so-called capillaries, were only passive tubes through which the blood passed as regulated by the arterioles, the small est of the artesies. Through number less experiments and Investigations of the most exact and minute char acter, however, Dr. Krogh found that the capillaries have a very active func- tion of their own, as their cells con- tract or relax, according to the way they are affected.
 If muscle is passive most of the capillaries remain closed and con- tracted and can hardly be seen through a powerful microscope, Dr. Krogh discovered. As soon as the muscle is used or affected in any way, however, hundreds of thousands of the finest blood vessels open up, and the blood supply is increased so that the muscle in return can increase and continue it's work.
 Besides being an important contri- button to physiological theory, Dr.
