irierable inteiat has been displayed In

factory ha made.
The Mitchell Motor company of Omaha
la keeping pace with their factory, de
livering the new Mitchell models as fast
as the factory can ahlp them out. Three
shifts of men are employed at Racine
keeping the schedule of shipments sent
In by the dealers August 1 filled. The
new cars have made the aame big hit In
Nebraska they did In New York, the
only difference being that our Nebraska
people are more modest In their lastes
than gay New York, and are ordering
the black wheels Instead of the bright
red. In New York City purchasers of
the Sixteen Six Mitchell are demanding
red wheels. Deliveries of the new
Mitchells recently are to the following:

carnival have been mad") by the
OldamobJIe Bales company, notice being

carloada of Oldamoblles had left the fac

to follow without delay. The factory has
advised the distributers for this section
that In order-to accommodate them with
these extra cars. It has been necessary
for them to deprive some of their other
branches, but appreciating the Importance
of this section as a consumer of automo
biles, the manufacturers have deemed It
wise to offer Omaha and vicinity the pref
erence. Mr. Bromwell of the Oldsmoblle
Bales company says that he will guar
antee to have cars here for all comers
during carnival.
C. J. Corkblll of tha Nebraska Haynea
Auto company aaya his show room

some respects. "As soon as I get a few
cars get on my floor for display some
fellow who la anxious to get his car
comes In and in a day or two tha floor
la as clear as a bowling alley after a
strike has been made."
N. O. Manley, branch manager of tha
Meta company, has spent the past two
weeks In tha territory under the Juris
diction of the Omaha branch. Mr. Man
ley la very much pleased with tha spirit
of tha dealers and believe that the weat

automobiles.

Add Graphite to Oil
For Motor Cylinder
"Buying a cheap grade of oil because
of the low price la not true economy,
ut will eventually prove to be a very
expensive practice," aaeerta C. J. Cork-)
hill, manager of the NehrAekn-Haynes
Auto Hales company, distributor for the
Haynes Light Six.
"The principal lubricating mediums
commonly used are fluid oil and semi
fluid oils and" greases derived from loth
mineral and animal sources. Graphite,
one of the moat Important lubricants
known, Is a form of crystalline carbon.
The' mediums best adapted differ with I
' the nature of the work the parts are to
perform. An oil that la suitable for one
portion of the automobile mechanlsTrt
may prove actually Injurious to other
parts.
"By adding -about one teaapoonful of
ground flake graphite to every gallon of
cylinder oil, It la possible to carry to all
surfaces a material that Is finer than the
moat minute pores of the metal and
which will gradually cover the metal with
a film which heat cannot easily destroy.
The benefits derived from the use of
graphite in oil are accumulative, for
with continued use all the bearings, oylln- j
der walls and piston rlnae are protected
by a lubricant, which impregnates the
metal. All graphite Is not lubricating
graphite, however, nor la all lubricating
graphite suitable for use tn cylinder oil.
Care must be exercised and only finely
ground flake graphite of th best qual
ity should be ueed.
"Cylinder oil .should be derived from a
crude petroleum base, because . oil of
this nature are Inorganlo and are not Ha
able to decompose by exposure to. the air
or by heat as are the organic lubricants
derived from animal fata or vegetable
sources."-' j

Reo Sales Officer
Finds Big Demand
for Motor Trucks
"Whether the frantic demands of Euro
pean nations for American motor trucks,
when they were confronted with the ne
cessity for rapid transportation of goods
had anyhlng to do with arousing Ameri
can business men to the advantages of
the modern method of transportation I
cannot say, but It la an Interesting fact
that coincident with th European de
mand the motor truck haa come Into Its
own here at home," says R. C. Rueachaw,
sales head of the dual monarchy, Reo
Motor Car company and Reo Motor Truck
company.
Mr. Rueachaw haa Just returned from
an extended trip which embraced the
Pacific coast states, and he states that
the thing that Impressed him most waa
the tremendous demand that existed
everywhere for motor trucks.
"We have all looked forward to a time
when big business and little business
would awaken to the tremendous super
iority of the motor delivery vehicle. We
all realised that when It did come It
would come with a ruen and one has
only to travel across the country to
realize thst that haa happened.
"It is not exactly a happy coincident
that th nation-wide demand occurred si
multaneously with the needs of the bel
ligerent European nations. It has caused
an almost unparalleled condition of ex
cessive demand a demand out of all pro
portion to supply.
"More noticeable than even th pobllc
demand la the attitude of the autorno
Mle dealer toward motor trucks now
ariaya. Formerly they looked at them
nskance and when a) dealer, did deign
to take on a line he ordered a demon
strator and set it back In a corner of
the show room. There It was to be had
by anyone who came In and forcibly
took It away from him."

Before starting th motor In cold
weather see that the mixture being
drawn from the carburetor Is rich, as a
cold motor and cold air combined make
It Impossible to obtain an easily I ml table
mixture by ordinary procedure. If these
precautions are taken there will be no
trouble In starting th motor In cold
weather.
Do not flood er prime th carburetor.
Do not start with throttle wide open.
See that all Ignition connections are
tight.
Pouring hot water over Intak pip often
prove a simple and effective way to
start a motor In cold weather.
In cold weather moisture frequently
condense on th Inside of th gasoline
tank and will give trouble if allowed to
frees In the gasoline pip or carburetor.
To prevent this trouble drain gasoline
system at Intervals during cold weather.
At frequent interval drain th oU
from th crank case In order to be sure
no water la present. If this is not done
the oil pump screen will become xrosen
thus preventing oil circulation and caus
ing serious damage to working parts of
motor.
Generally speaking. In winter, a lighter
oil should be used in the motor and trans
mission than In summer; however. It Is
not a good plan to do too much experi
menting after you have found a satis
factory oil.
Daring freeilng weather fill th water
circulation with one of the following antl
freezing solutions;
Kor a temperature not lower than five
degrees below sere:
Alcohol, 15 per cent
Glycerine, 15 per cent.
Water, 70 per cent
Knr temperature not lower than fifteen
degrees below tero:
Alcohol, 17 per cent
Olycerlne. 17 per cent
Water, 6 per cent.
Alcohol should be added occasionally
to make up for evaporation. The glyc
erin does not evaporate with the water.

were in the first Olds, the first Ford, the first
King, the first Haynes, and many others.
' The automobile that is being preserved in the Smithsonian
Institution at Washington, as the official example of the very first
successful motor car, is equipped with Hyatt Bearings.
From the time of the first car until the present, Hyatt Bearings
have been recognized as an essential part of all types of automo
biles. Today they are working quietly and unobtrusively in the
vast majority of all cars manufactured in America.
Take your car, with its Hyatt Bearings for example. You prob
ably have driven it many thousands of miles, day and night, under
every imaginable condition of road and weather. ' Yet, for all you
know, there are no bearings in it anywhere. You never have seen
them or heard them and they never have given any trouble.
In the laboratories of our great factory at Newark, New Jersey,
the largest exclusive roller bearing plant in the world, we have run
Hyatt Bearings thousands of miles under every conceivable test.
Through these tests, they never have failed to give consistent, care
free service.
To supplement-this engineering data, we wish to know how
many miles your automobile has traveled in actual service upon its
Hyatt Bearings. '
We are ready to pay for this information. ,We have set aside one
thousand dollars to be distributed in awards to owners of cart show
ing the greatest mileage on Hyatt Bearings.
