WINSL0W
George Dustin

uCOfSe DuSth
WinSlow people were greatly sad
dened Monday when it was learned
of the death of George Dustin of
his home about 5 o'clock yesterday
morning. The deceased had been
in very poor health for some time
past and although his death was
not a shock. it was keenly felt, as
he was a loyal, true citizen of this
town.
Mr.. Dustin was born July Sth,
1860, the son of Jane and James
Dustin. His birthplace is the home
where he died. and although his
work has taken him, away from
Winslow for short periods of time,
1t was never for long. and his life
has been for the most part passed
here.
He is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Charles Harrington and Mrs. Sophia
Nigue of Waterville, and one broth
err, Charles Dustin of Pittsfield, Me.
For many years. until his eyesight
failed him, Mr.. Dustin was we'll
known all over Maine as a noted
driver of horses. He drove in
many races and knew the track busl-
ness from the beginning to the end.
In all town affairs he was a loyal
and devoted citizen, always interest
ed in anything that was for the up
building and. benefit of his town.
He was a familiar figure on the
streets as he has not been active in
business lines for some years. due
to the almost total loss of his eye
sight. But he was always pleasant,
had smile for everyone, and he
will be very sadly missed by all
Winslow people.

After all the ink, paper and
energy that has been expended to
manufacture a saturation point In
the automobile industry everyone
seems to have come around to the
conclusion that would have been
reached in the first place had the
alarmists been taken as a joke.
Last year proved that the more
automobiles there are the more
there will be made and sold. But
that's Just one OF the reasons.
There can be no saturation point
when cars are being used more and
more extensively. Though they
may be better built use IS bound TO
result In greater wear, greater need
for replacement.
A younger genera ton Is coming
TO maturity with definite ideas as
10 what 1t wants In the way OF alto
mobiles. 1t wants the newer and
better things. which means that
scrapping of older cars would be in
order regardless Of how many miles
Of unused transportation still re-
main.
The American woman Is unique in
that she has proven her ability to
drive cars, 60 900 school teachers
own cars, large percentage %
which arc women. When such fields
are opened up to the motor car
manufacturer the bird who worries
over a saturation point had better
run for cover.
Doubtless the increase In accidents
and fatalities tends to retard sales,
and will continue 10 do so until the
manufacturers realize that it is their
job to educate the public properly

About Enoine Oil

When the oil indicator seems to
drop radically on a long trip It isn't
necessarily an indication that YOU
have bought poor oil or that your
motor is suddenly becoming an oil
gusher More than likely II is a
warning that what you had IN the
crankcase when you started was
more unburned gasoline than oil.
You can drive a car about town
for weeks without seeming to need
oil. just because as the oil Is burn
ed off the raw gasoline is added to
the crankcase due to excessive re-
cranking of the engine. Thus when
the car is taken on run of say one
hundred miles or SO the gasoline
burns OF, thereby radically reducing
the amount of lubricant in the
crankcase.
If YOU suspect oil dilution II is
best to drain out the old oil and
replace with new before starting the
trip. but if this is not convenient
it is advisable to pour III fresh oil
oven though you seem 10 be adding
more oil than is necessary.

The Old Mechanic Says

Just glanced through the news
papers today and reached con-
CluSion or two that ought to interest
the driver who wants to use his
brakes effectively. All along I've
SAID that 1t never helps matters to
lock the wheels. but now that some
OF these four wheel brake designs
prevent the possibility of lockin'
don't want the driver to get no.
ZION that he doesn't need to apply
his brakes intermittently when tryin'
TO make the quickest possible stop.
In Commentin' upon u railroad ac-
cident which was caused by the
train sldin' five car lengths some
expert on brakes said that the en-
ginocr overlooked the principle of
friction. and that in failin' to apply
the brakes intermittently he en-
couraged slide instead Of n bite"
into the rails. The expert said that
sidin' is not brakin' and added that
Il good brake should chatter.
Applied to the sort of brakes that
lock the wheels it is easy enough
to see how this engineers advice
applied. but where brakes do not
locl< the motorist is likely to think
that it's all right to slam on the
brakes and hold 'em. He forgets
that when he does this the brake
drums start slidin' against the
bands and that the car will not
stop as quickly as it would if he
would just release the brakes and
make the bands take a fresh bite
into the drums. The quickest stop
can always he made by maxim the
brakes chatter.
