much to do with the return Of the oil
can. Oil is the logical squeak re-
mover, and closed cars are excellent
producers Of such annoyances. While
grease Will silence the vital bearings
of the chassis, Oil alone will stop
friction between metal contacts Of the
body with the frame. 1t Is coming
to be recognized that the squeakless
car of today is one to which the Oil
can is applied frequently.
The mechanism governing the oper-
ating of the windows may be oiled by
carefully aiming the tip of the can on
the gears of the window lifters. This
will save wear on the owner as well
as on the litter mechanism.
Oil always has been the motorist s
best friend In an emergency. Lubri-
cation is so SystematiZed that a car
owner can stop at any reputable fill
ing station or garage and have the
chassis creased In half the time II
takes to worry about it, but no sys
TEN has ever been devised that will
prevent a motoriSt from forgetting tC

habitation is scattered. There are
times, therefore. when the old-fash-
ioned oil can in all the glory of its
simplicity can be useful in quieting .

tant job. They will eliminate the
squeak or groan the driver often
hears when working to park his car
in tight space.
Experience reveals no windshield
has been made that will function day
in and day out without developing o
squeak. Many of these noises are no
more nor less than friction between
the glass and the rubber strip. Here,
again, a few drops of oil come In
handy. Moisten the corner of a soft
cloth with oil and rub it on the rub
ber strip. This will help to prevent
sticking in the case of the new W.
type windshields.
Carburetors also can stand an occa-
sional drop of oil. Their operating
rods and levers soon wear and develop
troublesome looseness If not given a
little fabrication now and again. This
applies to the throttle assembly as
well as to the spark control. Besides
there Is the distributor shaft, which
needs little oil If 1t is not equipped
with greasing connection. Even
touched with an oily rag occasionally.
Generators Need Oil.
Generators and starter motors still
require a few drops of oil every few
hundred miles. The spring bolts may
be thriving as a result of the effec-
tive and simplified high pressure sys
tens, but that doesn't keep the deli
cate bearings of the electrical units
cool.
The popularity of closed cars has

operation and consequent saving
1t Is easy to recall the difficulty re-
pair men invariably encounter in try
ing to remove brake bands to refine
them. Refining four-wheel brakes
seems to be so far in the future for
the average owner of a new car that
1t doesn't appear to be necessary to
make any provisions against what re-
pairmen recognize as frozen pins
and adjusting nuts. Being more
provident, the owner who still be
lieves in the oil can makes 1t point
to drop a little oil on the brake band
anchors and the threads and nuts of
the brake band adjustments. 1t makes
for easier removal Of the bands when
they need refining, as they eventually
must.
The brake pedal on this system. as
with all other brake systems, rides on
a shaft-the same shaft that holds
the clutch pedal. A few drops of oil
applied to this point now and again
will save q little wear and bit of
rafting.
1t is important in the hydraulic
system that the wheel pistons return
10 the normal position when pressure
Is taken off the brake pedal. The
springs on the bands help to do this.
working parts at the bands will aid
in keeping things working at their
best.
With any external contracting
brake of the exposed type squeaking
Is likely to be an annoyance after
having driven over dusty roads or
after it has rained~ and left mud and
dirt on the brakes. The remedy for
| this used to be to put few drops Of
meats foot oil on the drums If the
noise did not stop after a good wash
ing of the brakes. But with four
wheel brakes the regular engine oil
in the Oil can will answer the purpose.
1t is true the Oil will impair the eff
cheney Of the brakes for the first few
stops, but four-wheel brakes are so
effective the necessary oiling Is not
detriment.
Will Prolong Car Life.

hot Summer day to do with an oil
can what they could not do at all by
simply wishing for the grease gun
which they forget to bring with them.
If there is no place for an oil can
in the car, 1t is advisable to get a
bracket and make a place for it on
the engine side 6f the dash. II there
is a trunk on the car. spare gallon
can Of oil should be attached thereto,
so that there will be an ample sup.
ply, not merely for. the oil can but
also for the engine.
The motorists who are getting the
most out of their cars are the ones
who, in addition to enjoying the ad-
vantages of moderniZed fabrication
methods, still use the good old oil can
to help keep the good cars good.

STATE DOLE SOUGHT
FOR CITIZENS OVER so
Fraternal Order Seeks $50 Month
ly Pension for Marylanders.
Sees No Tax Gain.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, June ia resolu-
ton advocating the enactment OF a
State pension law to provide a dele
for men and women over 60 years old
was unanimously adopted at the
Maryland convention Of the Ftaternal
Order Of Eagles here this week.
The bill, as favored by the conven-
ton delegates, would have tine State
pay out of it's treasury $40 month
to each man and woman over 60
years old However, no one family
could receive two pensions.
In the case of man anC his wife
the pension would lie paid to the hus-
band and at his death would go TO his
widow Any one receiving a pension
from another source could not get
cne from the State. and any parent
receiving aid from his children would
have a sum equal to the aid received
deducted from his pension.
The advantages of an old age pen
sion, 1t was pointed out. are that 1t
would enable n man and his wife to
remain together in their old age and
would also remove the undesirable
conditions that are said to exist now
in some county almshouses.
Passage Of the law would not cause
an increase in the tax rate the
Eagles believe. because payment Of
an old age dole would decrease the
number of almshouse inmates and
thus decrease the cost of maintaining
such institutions.
The money saved from reducing the
cost of alrrshouse upkeep would more
than care for the pension fund, the
Eagles contend, and 81 a day would
enable an old couple to continue to-
gether in a home of their own.
The Eagles have sponsored a pen
sion law in six other Sttaes where 1t
has already been passed.

MARYLAND DIVORCE
STATUTE ATTACKED
League of Women Voters
Fights Unequal" Law.
Will Ask Revocation.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, June Members
of the League of Women Voters of
Maryland have gone on record to
have one of the old divorce laws of
this State changed, giving one moral
standard for men and women alike.
In a report urging revocation of
the present law, which affects women
but does not touch men, Miss Lavinia
Engle. secretary of the league. made
stirring appeal at the conference
of the League of Women Voters in
Annapolis this week.
There is a divorce law which we
have been trying to have changed for
some time said Miss Engle. This
law permits 81 Woman's past. before
her marriage, to affect her status in
procuring a divorce. We wanted
similar law passed which would hit
nan In the same way. But this was
waylaid by the legislators until we
saw no hope of having it passed.
"NUw as long as we can't make the
law applicable to both men and
women, we want it wiped off the
statute books during the next legis-
l&ture
- have known of cases where
women have been blackmailed into
getting unfair divorces because of
tnlS oIO law, ana IL IS llllle we ndu II
removed
This resolution will be introduced
by the league curing the next legis-.
lature.
Another resolution which the
wcmen passed Concerned grand jury
service.
In advocating that women serve on
the grand jury. Miss Engle said it
was a responsibility and duty they
should have.
There are MANY cases which come
before the grand jury where woman
would be able 10 use she right kind
ot influence in getting honest re-
suits" explained Miss Engle. Gases
concerning women and children need
a woman's viewpoint, and it is absurd
to have only men in authority at
these sessions"
