GREASE USED IN
SEVERE WEATHER
Has Distinct Drawbacks as
Lubricant for Automobile
During Winter Season.
When Used in Cups It Has Charac
teristic of Getting So Hard That
Little Lubrication Gets to
Bearing Sugface. ‘
For several years past no wise mo
torist has used grease as a lubricant
for his transmission, yet many car
owners who ought to know better em
ploy this heavier lubricant. Grease"
caunot flow to the bearing surfaces
and In the transmission the gears cut
a clean path through the grease when
it is cold and run practically unlubri
cated thereafter. In addition, grease
has the unfortunate characteristic of
carrying dirt and foreign matter that
it may pick up. It has distinct draw
backs as a lubricant in any location,
especially in cold weather, when it
ought never to be used. In winter
the grease Is almost certain to be
come packed agalnst the walls of any
case in which it is used, while the
geurs operate entirely dry.
When grease Is used In cups, it hax
the characteristic of getting hard, so
that the cup cannot be turned down
properly, and little lubrication gets to
the bearing surface for which it Is In
tended.
On practically all cars of any but
the most recent vintage grease cups
are fitted at various locations. If the
owner desires to substitate oil as a
lubricant for the grease he has prac
tically to replenish the cups every day.
In many cases this would be worth
the Increased labor.
Wick Feed Devices.
On the other hand, it may .e possi
ble to replace the grease cups with
large ofl cups having gradual feed.
Some of the newer car models have
been designed with central lubricating
points and with wick oillng devices,
which require replenishment only once
or twice a season. At any rate the
substitution of 01l for grease for al
most any lubrication service will be
a benefit to the parts affected.
Naturally different parts of the me
chanism require different lubricants,
that is to say, different grades of oil.
For the gears, the transmission, differ
ential and rear axle, a heavy ofl will
be the most satisfactory Ilubricant.
The last year or so has seen a num
her of extremely ingenious oil cups of
der to produce this car he took as a
Iputtern for streamlining the chassis
! and body the shape assumed by rain
drops falling through the air. A raln
drop Is forced into a perfect stream
lined form in the air resistance. The
motor and transmission form a unit
that is mounted to swing about the
rear axle, thus doing away with the
propeller shaft and universal joints,
and forming a very compact power
plant. The motor, which is of the “Y"
type, has six cylinders and is arranged
in palrs. It is of the type used by An
zaniy, having one pair of cylinders
vertleal in the center of the “Y.” The
radlgtor Is behind the motor, giving
per&'fl cooling by means of a fan.
The back of the auto resembles an air
ship ear and has a seat for the chauf
feur in the bow. The chassis Is made
of a wide frame of pressed steel,
shaped into a boat, and it is closed In
and streamlined on the bottom. This
car, which is only a ten-horsepower af
fair, can, because of the slight resist
| ance, make 75 miles an hour. The
whole construction is a fine example of

I entific interest. Note the rudimentary

fered to the motoring publie, some of |
them embodying a gradual feed, |
achieved by means of constricted pas
sages that allow the 01l to leak out |
only by degrees. Others employ what |
is known as wick feed, In which the |
01l is carried up in a wick and fcdi
gradually to the part needing lubrica- |
tion. For such places as the shackle |
bolts of the springs, the cross shafts |
of the brakes, the universal joints, in |
some types this makes a satisfactory
arrangement.
Use of Graphite.
It has always besn the custom to
lubricate universal joints by means of
grease or graphite, because there Is
great difficulty in keeplng 01l in the
Joint. This part moves with great
rapidity when the mechanism s
in operation and needs the most effec
tive lubrication. Recently it has been
found possible to lubricate the uni
versals by means of eil fed through
wicks. In many cases this change
would have to be the result of altered |
design, which the manufacturer Is
loath to do because of the cost. ‘
Wick feed has the double advantage
of being economical as well as efli
cient. In operation the ¢il travels up
the wick by capillary attraction, just
as it does up a lamp wick, and is dis
charged upon the surface requiring
lubrication. The oil spreads itself all
over the whole surface, and really this ‘
method Is the next best thing to hav
ing the parts run in oil. The wick oil |
cup does not require frequent filling |
and another advantage of the system'
is that dirt or forelgn matter, even |f'
it is present In the oil, cannot make
its way to the bearing surface. |

Mr. Hays holds that two little

The Post Office department proposes

made public by the secretary of war.
To bring those gullty to trial, he rec

£250,000 to pay rewards of SSO for
each draft deserter delivered to the

“It is lmperative,” he declares, “that

possible energy In pursuing these men
and in punishing all who are found

deserters to escape the punishment
provided for their offense, conse

“Inaction of this sort would tend to

They Insisted that the dissemina
tion through the newspapers of Infor

an evil which congress should correct
at once. Under a strict interpreta

acted, a newspaper would be violating
the law if It puldished a statement
predicting the winner of the world
baseball series or a tennis match.
“The proposed legislation,” said Sen

these great papers have been an ald

“It is the duty of a newspaper to
print the news. It does not become
an ally of the gambler when It prints
racing odds. These papers want an
opportunity to speak—not for the
gamblers, but in behalf of the free

guage of the secretary:
“The extension of the national for

which will protect the watersheds of

by legislative now cover the headwa

streams beyond the Mississippi and
protect ‘enormous investments in irri
gation work, irrigable farms, and
hydro-electrie development, They are
now siowly being extended by pur
chases over the watersheds of nav
igable streams in the Eastern states
and should be extended still further
as rapidly as possible,”
He also says that information on
the need for timber growing and the
best methods for growing and utiliz
ing timber have been widely dissem}:

organized. They have sections and
divisions already performing in some
measure work which is contemplated
to divert to them. All that is neces

several departments in the post offices.
In no sense would any postmaster's
contact or responsibility to the depart
ment be interfered with. It would sim
ply mean that the smaller oflices and
the department could be relieved of
much detail in accounting, ete,, with
the result that both could function

General Harris says the publica

newspapers ‘proved highly useful for
the purpose of straightening out the

therein, despite all the care and effort
expended in an attempt to iInclude

He shows that less than one-half of 1

A “balanced diet” may sound
confusing to many people
The facts, as explained
here, are simple.
The secret of a “balanced diet” is to have food
containing all the elements needed for proper
nutrition. These elements are protein, to nourish
the tissues; starch and sugar to furnish energy;
fat to supply heat; and mineral salts to provide
the material necessary for building nerves, brain,
and tooth and bone structure.
Grape-Nuts, the nourishing cereal made of
whole wheat flour and malted barley, served with
cream or milk, is a complete food for young and
old alike,
Go to your grocer today and get a package of
Grape-Nuts. Eat it with milk or cream for
breakfast; or with stewed fruit, jelly or jam, as a
delicious dessert for lunch or dinner.
