Getting Beat Is Expensive.
It cost Congressman Thomas A,
Chandler of the First Oklahoma dis-
trict $7,471.78 to make his unsuccess-
ful race for re-election this year, ac-
cording to his statement filed with the
clerk of the house. Of this amount,
$1,000 was contributed by the repub-
lican national congressional commit-
tee. His successful opponent, E. B.
Howard, spent $702.36 in the primary
slection and $383.60 in the general
e'ectlon. J. H. Davenport spent
$884.83 in the primary and James K.
Moors spent $1,564.00 In the primary.
In the Eighth district Dick T. Mor-
gan, successful candidate, spent
$691.16 in the primary and $1,443.30
n the general election, a total of
$2,134.46, while C. H. Hyde, his op
ponent, spent $1,082.42.
In all the other districts the re-
ports as far as received, show no large
amounts expended either in the pri-
nary or the general election campaign.
A movement is on foot now to or-
ganize and equip a Y. M. C. A. in

CRANKCASE ILLS
OF MOTOR CARS
fttetillation Tests of Lubricant
Made by Engineer of Na-
tional Reputation.
GASOUNE HAD LEAKED OUT
Figure* Qlven Should Form Illuminat-
ing Comment on Troubles Motor-
lets Are Having—Difficulty
Solved In Two Ways,
An engineer of national reputation,
Wbo has been making distillation tests
Of lubricant taken from the crankcases
of motorcars, reports in one typical
ense that 45 per cent of the supposed
oil In the crankcnse was nothing more
nor less than gasoline which had not
been consumed and had leaked down
past the pistons. Only 87% per cent
of good lubricating oil was found—oft
that Is really suited for lubrication of
the cylinder walls and piston rings.
Nor was this a neglected car. The oil
bad been In the crankcase only nine
days and a grade of gasoline testing 58
Baume had been used.
The test figures were checked by a
government chemist and are incontro-
vertible. They should form an Illumi-
nating comment on the trouble motor-
ists are having in these days of low-
gravity fuels.
8olvlng Difficulty.
The difficulty, say the experts, is to
be solved only in two ways—more fre-
quent changing of the oil in the crank-
case and greater care in the purchase
and use of low grade or “stale” gaso-
line.
“It is not uncommon,” says the edi-
tor of Motor Age, “for a car to start
on a tour with the gasoline tank filled
with a good grade of gasoline and run
beautifully for the first two days, per-
haps, or until a fresh supply of gaso-
line is taken on at some small out-of-
town garage or country store. Then,
before long, a noticeable loss of power
manifests Itself in the engine.
“There Is nothing more distressing
than the gloom of impending engine
trouble. So, think of the gasoline first
and you may find the source of that
power loss. The trouble caused by
poor gasoline Is an Illusive one and
generally gives the inexperienced op-
erator no end of perplexity in laying
his hands on the difficulty.
Facilitate Starting.
"In troyble of this kind, to facilitate
starting, one should drain a half to a
cupful of gasoline from the float cham-
ber of the carburetor. This will re-
move water and dirt if it is that which
is giving trouble.
“The operation should be followed
by priming the cylinders with gasoline
and then holding a cloth saturated
with gasoline over the air Intake of
the carburetor while the starter is op-
erated. If the engine runs with power
on the priming mixture and then die*
down to less power when the tank gas-
oline Is being used, it is well to as-
sume that the trouble is within the
gasoline itself, and the remedy is to re-
place the gasoline immediately. If this
(s not possible, change the carburetor
mixture for more gas until a new sup-
ply Is available."
FILLING BATTERY TOO FULL
As Bad as Not Putting In Any Wat«i*r
as Overflow Runs Into Bottom«
Eating It Out
Filling your battery too full Is as
bad as not putting nny water Into it
at all.
When the cells are too full, rough
riding or a rapid charging of the bat-
tery due to long sustained or rapid
driving forces the electrolyte to over-
flow and run down luto the bottom of
the battery box. It is only a short
time until the acid fluid will eat the
bottom out.
The motorist should keep In mind
that while It Is pure distilled water
he puts Into the cells, It Is not water,
but diluted acid thut overflows. This
acid will corrode both wood and steel.
In filling the battery cover the plates
with about a half Inch of water. More
than this Is unnecessary. This depth
will allow for the movement of elec-
trolyte caused by rough driving or
rapid charging.
PIPE EXHAUST FROM GARAGE
Old Drain Pipe Is Used for Purpose
of Carrying Off Unpleasant or
Dangerous Fumes.
Asphyxia caused many deaths in
garages before it became generally
known that a garage must be well ven-

of a private garage avoided the neces-
sity of keeping the doors open by
piping the exhaust outside, as shown

age—How to Remedy.
The owner who is not diligent and
neglects the parts he does not see or
which do not give trouble usually may
find some time that upon starting one
of the wheels becomes locked, even
though the brake pedal and lever are
free. This is due to the fact that
there is so much play in the brake
linkage that when the hand brake
lever is released it merely takes up
the play, leaving the unlubricated
mechanism set In holding position.
This happened recently, and a ham-
mer had to be used to loosen the brake
mechanism. If you should have fuel
feed trouble which you cannot explain
it may be caused by pieces of solder
in the gas tank.
