YOU AUTO KNOW

That Oil wears out" and that
it should therefore be replaced
with new oil every thousand
miles or so. This wearing"
process Is due to the fact that
some Of the Oil works up past
the piston where it is burned
up; other portions work out
around the different parts of the
engine and are lost, but the
major portion of the Gil remains
in the "sump" or crank case long
enough for 1t to become mixed
with the gasoline which has
been forced past the piston. In
time, the addition of this gaso-
line thins the oil to such an ex-
tent that it has comparatively
little lubricating power.
The man who wishes to get
the most economical power out
of his car will therefore see that
the crank case is drained regu-
{ larly, depending upon the tenn
perature at which the engine is
run, the grade of Oil used and
the fit of the piston. Ordinarily,
{ this should be attended to every
1000 miles and at no time
should the car be driven more
than $500 miles without attend
! ing to this important detail.

When the car owner is confronted
with the condition of excessive oil con-
sumption and no reasonable explana-
tion Is forthcoming, it is well to sus-
pect the rear crank shaft bearing.
A small notch cut on the under side
of the steering wheel rim In position

when backing the car in a straight and

REFUSE GERMAN STATES OATH
States Scorn Allegiance to Re.
publican Constitution.

Berlin.-Public officials In some OF
the federated German states have re-
fused to take the oath of allegiance
to the republican constitution on the
ground they owed allegiance only to
their own state.
The point of law evoked lively dis
cussion, particularly in Bavaria,
where respect for the present German
regime is not deeply grounded. Legal
suits were brought In two cases for
reinstatement Of the officials whose Of
fees had been declared vacant on &C.
count of their unconstitutional atti-
tude.
One court ruled the oath was I'M
necessary, but higher court reversed
the decision.

have been proving the practicability
and usefulness of the airplane In many
interesting ways. Their idea is to
force the government and people to
see that not only is aviation useful
to Newfoundland, but that the future
development Of Newfoundland de-
ponds upon aviation.
Bell Island, the irOn-producing rock
In Conception bay, was cut off from
the mainland for days by an ice block
ade In the bay. The ice was too thin
to bear man or horse, and too thick
to allow boat to get through it. For
three days the thousands of miners
there had been without mails or news.
papers. Cotton loaded up his machine
with st. Johns newspapers and in q
very few minutes had dropped them
In the public square on Bell Island,
and then circled around and saw the
men rush for them and open and read
them. This greatly impressed the au-
thorities.
Some steamers were frozen In the
Ice off the coast some miles from st.
Johns 1t being an unusually hard
winter in Newfoundland. They, also,
had been without newspapers or
mails. Cotton repeated his stunt and
dropped newspapers onto the decks of
the steamers. and the passengers were
able to read the afternoon papers al
most as quickly as citizens Of st.
Johns did. Delivery Of newspapers
has been made In many places around
the shore.
An Object Lesson.
The Norwegian manager Of paper
company at Alexander Bay wanted to
get down to the plant from st. Johns.
The cross country train was showed
In somewhere near the line. Cotton
took Blakstad, the manager, to his
place in an hour and three-quarters,
at the same time dropping newspapers
on the passengers in the marooned
train. Among the train passengers
was w. f. Coaker, minister Of marine
and fisheries, who had refused to be
taken by plane to Port Union, head
quarters of the Fishermen's Union Of
Newfoundland. He was on the
"bogged" train for three days.
The machines being used by Major
Cotton are a Martinsyde, with a 275
Falson Rolls-ROyce engine, and a
DH-9. The former is the same type
used by the first men to come to New
foundland in connection with the
transatlantic flight. Both machines
have very quick take-0ff and land
very slowly. Then there is West
land limousine, with $50 Napier en-
CINE, particularly useful in case of
crash, as the aviators can live in the
cabin in comparative comfort. Con
centrated food for month for two,
snowshOes, blankets, ETC., are always
carried in each machine. Neither of
these machines Is suitable for the con-
ditions of the country, however, and
on his return to England Cotton will
have some specially designed for the
work, putting into them everything
that he has learned while here.

MINERS ON DUTY AT THE
 CLOSED MINES QUITTING

Herrin, Ills, June 2S.-(By the A. P) Miners on duty at the closed mines in Williamson county, through an agree ment between the coal operators and the United Mine Workers of America, are quitting their posts tonight with the result that unless substitutes are obtain ed, millions of dollars worth of mines soon will become total loss through flooding. It is understood that they are quitting because of threats they have received from local miners.
 Most of the men quitting are not mem- bers of the miners union, it wa Gsaid by coal operators and state officials who to- night made a hurried tour of the county to confirm the reports previusly received from anonymous sources. They have been caring for the mines since the strike began on April 1. Yesterday and todoy there have been many rumors here that further raids on mines. in retaliation for previous labor troubles, were planned and that the bumpers and guards would be told to leave soon.
 Mine unions here could not be reach ed tonight to discuss the matter. Hugh Willis, district board member, was said at his home to be out at one of the mines The information that the men were quit ting came to The Associated Press through an official and indisputable source which cannot be revealed.

 T can find no words to express my feelings of horror and grief at the appal- ling tragedy which robbed you of your beloved husband and the country of one of it's most distinguished soldiers.
