REDUCE COST OF
UPKEEP OF AUTO
Use of Proper Oil and At
tenticn to Filter Will
Save Money.

Use of the proper grade oil and at
miles, engineers agree, will reduce cost
of mechanical upkeep Of the car, saw
ing the motorist perhaps as high as
$3.50 in car wear during the life of
his automobile.
The thin oil film between the NOV
ing parts is what protects the auto
mobile engine against wear. This
film is six times thinner than the page
of this paper. But it must be kept
clean and free from carbon residue
and other foreign matter.
Function Efficiency
This can be done by proper atten-
ton to the oil filter-the device
through which the oil passes and is
filtered. When the oil is filtered prop
erly it has less tendency to form car
bon residue or develop gummy matter
which will absorb dust and dirt. The
oil filter will function at highest eff
cheney up to 10000 miles driving. Aft
er this mileage it becomes filled with
carbon and other foreign matter and
should be serviced Immediately.
Inability of an oil to properly lubri-
cate is nearly always the result of
its contamination rather than faulty
refinement, assuming, Of course, that
the correct grades to meet engine OPP
Grating conditions have been selected.
Filter Cleans Oil.
The oil filter cleans the engine Oil
constantly at the rate of one quart a
minute while the engine is running and
the entire contents of the crankcase
every five to ten minutes. In 10000
miles of driving it removes sometimes
as much as two pints Of dirt, foreign
matter and sludge from the oil. thus
preventing this destructive material
from iniuring the engines vital parts.
The use of an oil filter gives clean
fabrication and reduces engine wear.
But if the cartridge is not renewed ev-
cry 10000 miles, its whole purpose is
defeated and wear of the engine parts
will result from dirty oil.
After 10000 miles of driving 1t Is
important that the filter cartridge be
renewed. This is important because
this mileage the filter unit becomes
filled with dirt. sludge and other for
eign matter taken from the oil.'

Faulty Contact Points
Cause Engine to Miss

Missing of the engine and buck
ing" frequently blamed on the car
buretor are often due to nothing more
than improper adjustment of spark
plug of breaker point gaps or both.
Before making carburetor adjustment
In high compression engines the car
owner or mechanic should make sure
that the plug gap is adjusted accord
ing to the car manufacturers recon-
mendations, and breaker contact
points are filed square and likewise
adjusted.
Dirty or worn out plugs also cause
trouble often blamed on the carbure-
tor, and spark plugs and breaker con-
ract points should be examined at
least twice year.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Huge Crop Losses Due to
Drought Boost Prices and
Rouse Government.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

DROTRACTED drought and Excess
sively hot weather brought to the
farmers of the United States mix
ture of good and evil and aroused the
administration to the consideration of
relief measures beyond those con-
templated by the act creating the fed
eral farm board.
Both government and private crop
reports led to estimates that the new
corn crop had been damaged to the ex-
tent of at least 5OO,OOO,OOO bushels,
and the rains that fell throughout
much of the corn belt during the week
were said to have come too late to
have much influence on the yield since
pollination had failed.
Private reports by one of the lead
ing experts of the Middle West indi-
Gated that q large part of the crop
was beyond any material recovery.
In Ohio the corn was deteriorating
rapidly, and In southern Indiana it
was badly damaged. In Illinois the
situation was at its worst in the
southern part of the state. The crop
In northern and western Kentucky
was said to be entirely ruined, and the
condition in Missouri and Iowa was
not much better. Throughout the
whole drought region, also, pasturage
and all fodder crops were burned up
to an alarming extent.
On the other hand, these bad crop
prospects led to a sensational rise in
the prices of grain on the exchanges,
and within a few days there was an
estimated increase of about $65O,OO0,-
600 in the theoretical value of farm
ers' products. The market in Chicago
went wild and corn led in the swift
advance, followed by wheat and the
other grains. For the first time in
five years the public came in on big
scale, and there were heavy buying
orders from foreign countries. 1t was
believed there would be a heavy sub
stitution of wheat, oats, rye and bar
ley for corn sas live stock feed, and
consequently the demand for those
grains was large. Also the estimates
of the Canadian wheat crop were
slashed as a result of damage by
drought. heat and black rust. The
yield of rye in Europe, exclusive of
Russia. will be far below normal, and
the Prussian oats crop Is greatly
reduced. l,E.. 49,

Brown. Mr.. Mann's statement. which
was issued on the eve of meeting
of the Republican national executive
committee in Washington, outlined
plans adopted by group of promi-
nent southern Hoovercrats to incor-
porate in "all-southern" Republican
organization and throw off the yoke of
northern patronage carpet-baggers"
as well as of designing political hi
jackers."
Hoovercrats representing ten south
ern states had met in conference in
Savannah and adopted resolutions eX-
pressing resentment at the refusal of
the administration to recognize Mann's
services and leadership. They agreed
to meet again in Atlanta on August 10
to perfect their organization. Because
of the heavy Hoover vote in the South
in 1923, the ten states represented in
the Savannah conference will be en-
titled to 267 delegates in the 1882 Re-
publican convention, 100 more than
they were allowed In the Kansas City
convention.

plenty of fighting this winter, with
the bosses girding for struggle

who the vanguard of the workers
are. 1t shows the bosses realize
that the workers are joining the
struggle for unemployment insur-

Judge Macrery Killed for Refusing to
Pay Last lnstallment on Judgeship

The Daily Worker exposures of
Tammany graft finally forced the
capitalist press to lift the lid
trifle yesterday. After the Daily
Worker came out on Tuesday, re-
vealing for the first time what
the capitalist press already knew
but was hiding-that Judge
Crater disappeared because of
being involved in the crooked
bankruptcy proceedings of the
Hotel Libby, in which Crater and
the other Tammanyites in on the
deal cleaned up over $500, 900.
At once there was a scurrying
around and Walker Immediately
called a conference" on the SUBJ
ject. And the capitalist press,
which had sat upon the story for
months, for the fiSst time began
some cautious admissions about
Crater's mix-up in the Hotel

Brother Admits Killing But
Retreats.
Heating was then and continues
to be in the midst of a bitter fight
with Patrick Dowd for the control
of the booty in the 18th District.
A few weeks after Macrery was
killed, Edward Broderick, Dowd's
chief lieutenant, declared publicly
that Macrery's brother, Wallace
Macrery, told him that the Judge
had been killed because of his re
fusal to pay the full price of his
judgeship.
Judge Macrery's brother later de-
MED this, after political pressure
had been brought to bear on him,
and District Attorney Banton, in
stead of investigating Broderick's
charge, tried twice to have him in
dicted for perjury, although the
Grand Jury refused each time to
find true bill.
The case was forgotten by every
one but Macrery's relatives until
the present election campaign, when
the charges were reiterated, but this
time more quietly, by Keating's
enemies. In magnificent display
of righteousness. Heating demanded
that Macrery's body, which had
never been subjected to an autopsy,
be exhumed. This was about a year
after Macrery had been buried.
Judge Follows Orders.
AS per schedule, Supreme Court
Justice Hammer was asked for an
order permitting the body to be
exhumed. And also as per schedule,
Justice Hammer refused. Attorney
General Ward, a republican, now

tigate the charges. Evidently the
trail grew too hot, for soon after
he announced that after a confer

aim of these two groups was to
unite all the forces fighting against
the party and the working class
from open counter-revolutionaries
and sabotagers like Palchinski to
Suchanov who termed himself a rev.
dictionary socialist of the Third In
ternational, with the Kulaks as a
basis. One of the chief methods of
their work was the utilization of the
right wing elements in the ranks of
the C. P. of the Soviet Union as an
instrument to shake and decompose
the proletarian dictatorship. The
liquidation of both groups conceded
with the decisive successes of the
work for the construction of social
ism, with the development of the
forces of the Party to overcome the
great difficulties in the way of this
work, with the rallying of the Party
masses on the basis of the general
policy of the Party, and the destruc-
ton of right wing opportunism. The
liquidation of the Kulaks as a class
on the basis of solid collectivization
and on the basis of the radical So
cialist construction of industry and
the roofing out of all the capitalist
elements, must be followed by the
liquidation of the agents of the Ku-
laks in the state apparatus. Our
socialist offensive will mercilessly
root out and destroy all those ele-
ments which attempt to utilize poll
tically the resistance of the Kulaks.
