Of automobiles today, restricting
both the speed and distance TO
which they can be driven, have
given owners something new TO
think about in regard 10 service,
according to w. a. Hilman, serv-
ice manager Of Chrysler.
Operating automobiles under
present conditions has intro
duced some problems not here
tOfore experienced so frequently
10 such a degree by the owner

"The principal one of those is
dilution Of the engine lubricant
and more rapid formation of
carbon I'm the combustion cham

the compression area.
This is chiefly due 10 the en-

Girls Trained
As Lube Experts

A national program for the
training of women 10 perform a
dual war service by learning a
specialized automotive profession
was proposed by William L. Holler,
Chevrolet general sales manager.
Through a series of service schools
throughout the country, young
women are TO be trained as lubri-
cation experts. thus freeing men
for two important wartime jobs
on the fighting front or as me-
chanics on the vital transportation
home front.
Already, one school has been
held under Chevrolet auspices, %
young women being trained as
lube-raCk attendants. Without ex-
ccption, they have been endorsed
by the dealers employing them as
capable operators fully qualified
TO take over this highly specialized
operation.
With an expansion Of the train
ing program, Holler estimated,
thousands of young women may
find employment i'm automobile
dealerships in a worthwhile, war
contributive job. He added that
rates of pay for the girls are COM
parable. and in most cases equal,
TO those established for men doing
the same type of work.

Engine Packing

With trainload shipments of
Buick-built bomber engines going
forward daily 10 the plane makers
and production scheduled for
further heavy increases in 1913,
Buick traffic men. through a rela-
lively simple redesign of packing
cases, devised a 125 per cent in
crease in the effective use of rail-
way shipping facilities.
BY more than doubling the use
full shipping space in a box car,
the move has solved shipping prob
lens. according 10 the company.
At the same time critical trans
portation facilities, needed else
where for the movement Of war
freight, have been conserved and
savings effected in
Army Air Force freight costs as
well as in time required for load
ing and unloading.
This eXpedient, typical of auto
motive mass production methods,
involved making the engine pack
ing cases one inch narrower and
four inches shorter. Box cars
formerly were loaded in one hour
and ID minutes and are now loaded
with more than double the num-
Der Of engines in an hour and a
half. Actual loading costs, accord
ing TO Buick, have been reduced
