I'm not much of q haad at high
falutin' science, but 1t didn't require
any schoolin' to put me wise to the
meanin' of gravitation, or whatever
you call 1t. The whole business was
demonstrated to me right in the OIL
of the car.
The idea came home a little
stronger each time / watched the
average motorist around these parts
in process of tryin' to oil up. 1 coRJ d
see right then and there that in oil
in the cars various parts there's
one thing that can make or break
1t. That's gravity.
Watch that chap over there, for
instance. At the base OF his emerKen-
cy brake rod lever there's little hole
through which he Is supposed to In
ject a few drops of oil now and
again. I'm willin' to bet dollars to
punctures that most of the oil he
tries to squirt in there goes on the
outside. He looks at the puddle of
its way in" what really happens is
that gravity leads it away from the
hole and sends 1t drippin' to the
floor. IL this chap knew what he was
about he might better aim the oil
can al the top of the handle. BY
wants it to so than by the method
hes now usin'.
I've seen some folks shoot q lot of
oil around the oil plug for q gen
orator bearing. imaSinin' that II would
work its way in. What 1t did, in
most cases, was to work it's way
down and out, perhaps never touch
ing the part it was intended to lub-
ricate.
When you're oilin' the car don't
waste the oil by putin 1T whore it's
goin' TO run off and encourage = re-

It's what they call science, but it's

Chance to Catch Up.

Frequent reports to the effect that
may or may not be significant, but it
is generally conceded by progressive
automobile trade pepele that an an
nual rate of increase in registrations
as shown in 1923 is not to the best
interests of the industry nor to motor
transportation.
A little slowing down in sales to
peopeopls who have never before
owned cars and who accordingly cam
not materially aid traffic conditions, it
is said, would give traffic authorities
an excellent opportunity to catch up
with the many problems which they
have been graphing with, and Crap
ping successfully.
One automobile man has said that
it is TO the best interests of motor
dom that the automobile trade should
concentrate this year on trying to sell
new models to people who already
have cars. rather than to look for
new prospects. This, he says, would
serve to place few million moro
cars in service that would be far
safer because of numerous new inn
provements. They wonld be easier to
handle; thus simplifying the matter

sons, there would be much opportunity
to untangle many of the knots result
ing from the sudden popularity of the
motor car
Too many restrictions upon the
use of the automobile have come into
eheot because the authorities have
known of no better way out If the
country could concentrate on putin r

The practice of keeping the car in

particularly trying on the clutch
