in Central Asia
Fur Traders See Commercial
Possibilities Developed by
the Third Asiatic
Expedition.
While science toys with the 25 dino
saur eggs brought gack from the in
terior of Mongolia by the third Asia
tic expedition, and wonders about
their relationship to the dinousaur
skeletons now and then unearthed in
America, industrial leaders are giving
deep and serious thought to the com
mercial phase of the expedition's
many remarkable discoveries.
Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of
the expedition, demonstrated that it
was not necessary to rely on the plod
ding camel In order to penetrate the
rich Interior. His three Dodge Broth
ers motor cars did what the fur trad
ers and others interested in the com
mercial. development of Mongolia had
considered impossible. The fur trad
ers promptly bought up his three
Dodge IJrpthers cars, proved to their
satisfaction that it was in the car to
do it—and not just luck—and are now
operating fleets of the same sturdy
American car in pursuit of the for
tunes that roam aimlessly on the
plains. Trips that formerly required
months are now made in days. There
are no roads, but that seems to make
e difference when one is using

suits of the expedition are viewed by
the press is reflected in the countless

Stuiebaker Light Six Coupe
The Studcbaker light-six live-passenger coupe was one of the most at
tractive ears exhibited at the show. The body is small enough to be chummy,
yet it is large enough to insure comfort for five full grown people. In speak
ing of the show, O. N. Bonney of the O. N. Bonney Motor company said, "It
has been a very gratifying week. We have had many many visitors at our
display that showed a very friendly attitude to the Studehaker line on a
whole. The buyer of today seems to place (pialify anil workmanship much
above the mere fact of low price and the buying public appreciates value
more each year. We had a good number of retail sales during the week and
we have every reason to believe that business throughout the year will be
very good.”
is the following from the Dallas Jour
nal.
"How many of us grubby folk know
that dinosaurs laid eggs?'Who among
us could estimate the value of dino
saur eggs? Geologists working In the
wilds of Mongolia under the auspices
of the American Museum of Natural
History have discovered a whole
nestful of dinosaur eggs, 25 of ’em,
to be specific, and they say that the
value of the egg is priceless. Their
valuation will not be challenged. For
these eggs are big as moons, com
pared to those of the industrioift* hen
of our own time, and they are past
the possibility of deterioration, since
they are^ fossilized and are estimated
to be 10*00,000 years old.
"Old King Tut, it will appear, has
no sort of monopoly on relics of apti
quity. This lay of the ancient dino
saur antedates the puraaoh's time by
ages and epochs. As an exhibit from
a primeval past it will stand In a
class to itself. The exhibit is made
even more impressive by the addition
of tons of other fossil remains which
were found in the Asian desert.
"That the discovery was due to the
courage and determination of the man
who comprised the scientific expedi
tion need not be stated. But an in
teresting revelation is that it would
not have been possible without the
aid of that modern of moderns, the
automobile. Motor cars penetrated
hundreds and hundreds of miles into
legions that had never scented the
odor of gasoline, following with ease
the trails which had been made by
caravans of camels. The leader of
tiie expedition, Mr. Roy Chapman
Andrews, is quoted as having said
that all o^ Mongolia is accessible by
motor car and that a new field for
commercial exploration and develop
ment has been opened.
From -which it may be seen that
great possibilities may be hatched
from dinosaur eggs. Commerce is a
follower of the flag, we 'have been
told. But it may also be said that It
follows the explorer In the name of
science.”

Flat Service Rate
at Stutz Stations
Effort Made to Increase Effi
ciency and Reduce the
Repairing Costs.
i -
In an effort to raise the efficiency of
all Stutz service stations and to re
dflee the cost of servicing Stutz cars,
the Stutz Motor Car company of
America, Inc., is introducing the flat
rate charge system into every Stutz,
service station in the country.
Under the flat rate plan, the dealer
will he able to tell the owner exactly
how much his hill Is going to be for
a certain piece of work. The flat
rate system also Instructs the dealer
on matter of combining operations.
In many cases it would lie a lot more
economical for the owner to have a
number of operations performed on
his car In place of just one. This
feature of Intelligent servicing of cars
is stressed.
The unusual accessibility of all
Stutz engines makes them especially
well adapted to the flat raje system
The operations are proportionately
simplified.
Rebuilt Tokio to Depend

America's conception of modern
taxicab service has found favor with
the Japanese. The first contingent

The successful Invasion of the orient
by John Hertz, veteran taxicab op

his recent activities in London and

Urged to Watch
Dilution of Oil
Btiirk Sales Manager Gives
Suggestions to Avoid Exces
sive Drain on Crank
Case Oil.
•'Crankcase dilution, or the thin
ning out of the lubricating oil in the
engine, Is a subject that deserves the
serious consideration of every auto
mobile owner,” according to E. T.
Strong, general sales manager of the
Puick Motor company. "This dilu
tion is caused by the unburned fuel
which, (lesplte the many great im
provements In carburetlon, finds its
way between pistons and cylinder
walls into the lower crankcase. Pres
ent day fuels require a much greater
amount of heat for proper vaporiza
tion than those of a few yeare ago,
and in designing the carburetor unit
every effort has been made to pre
vent Incomplete vaporization.
"The result of crankcase dilution is
excessive wear on pistons and rings,
cylinder walls and engine bearings
due to the fact that the lubricating
qualities of the -crankcase oil have
been Impaired.
1 "The car owner can avoid excessive
dilution In the oporation of his car by
observing the following suggestions:
"Avoid holding air regulator handle
on 'choke' position longer than neces
sary. It should be turned to 'cold'
position as soon as driving conditions
permit.
"Do not idle engine or drive at ex
tremely slow speeds for long periods
of time.
"Drain the crankcase at regular In
tervals, the frequency depending on
the season and the conditions under
which the car is operated. A com
plete change is recommended every
500 miles, although under certain
driving conditions in cold weather a
more frequent change may be advis
able.
"Do not flush crankcase with kero
sene."

Careful Attention Urged
to Get Big Tire Mileage
Two casings, one of which had
rolled up a mileage of 31,000 and the
other 20,000 miles, were recently re
moved from the driving wheels of a
Cadillac sedan owned by A. G. Zeller,
president of the Michigan State Auto
mobile school, Detroit.
"These casings were In such good
condition that I had them retreaded
and am using them now for spares,”
said Mr, Zeller, who attributed their
long life as much to careful driving
a* to tire quality. >
"Careless application of brakes and
too great an eagerness to accelerate
from nothing to 80 miles an hour in
a few seconds contribute greatly to
tire strain and excessive wear of
tires. Improper inflation is another
tiling that quickly ruins even the
best of casings.
"Own a pressure gauge and use it.
Take the trouble to remove tire* and
tubes for inspection now and then;
keep the rims clean; watch the tube
protecting flap to make sure It is
properly in position and not wrinkled.
Dook the casings over for signs of
damage and make little repairs where
necessary.”
Difference in Flint Exhibit.
There was a marked difference be
