Autos Run Nicely on
Poor Grade Gasoline
The' natives of the Windy City
were shocked the other day to find
that some automobiles would not
only run perfectly on the poor
grade of gasoline which is being
sold today, but-would percolate with
ease on the fuel oil commonly
known as coal oil or kerosene.
The regular stock Stephens' Sa
lient Six using coal oil for fuel
broke all records in a run from St
Louis to Chicago. The total mile
age was 3(67.5 miles. This distance
was covered in nine hours and three
minutes, averaging over 40 miles per
hour. This beats the best train time
by fully two miles per hour. This

Auto Trade Picking Up,
Says Franklin Dealer
There ,is a 'definite indication of
business' improvement during the
last weeTc, asserts H. Pelton, distrib
utor of Franklin and Marmon auto
mobiles. We feel encouraged in our
thought that the peak of the slump
has passed and conditions are im
proving. So far this month we hart made
several retail sales and the number
of prospective buyers coming to our
Salesroom indicates that business
. will gradually begin to pick up.
Watch the Front Wheels
" The average car owner is quite
likely in the desire to give the rear
wheels all the attention they need
to forget the front wheels. Now
the front wheels should receive a
careful inspection at least once a
month, particularly those of the type
fitted with ball bearings of the cup
and cone type. The cones wear
rapidly because they are subjected
to heavy stresses in travel.

State' Licenses Issued.
Washington, Nov. 20. This is a
nation of Nimrods.
There are 7,000,000 hunters in the
United States, according to the chief
United States game warden in the
biographical survey of the iJepart
ment of Agriculture. This estimate
was made from reports on the nuni'
ber of gafne licenses issued by the
various states.
In 1919 3,600,000 state licenses
were issur1, ami in addition it is es
timated that 3,500,000 hunters are ex
empted under various state, pro
visions. The returns to the states
from licenses was approximately
S4.500.000. a 1 of which was expend
ed by the states in administration of
state laws for the protection of
game. This sum permits the em
ployment of approximately 2,000
salaried state game wardens and 600
fee wardens. The congressional ip-
propriation for tederal game waraen
service tor protection oi migratory
birds is $142,000, which permits the
employment of only 29 salaried war
dens.
. At its recent meeting in Ottawa
the International Association of
Fish, Game and Conservation com
missioners adopted a resolution call
ing for the issuance of tederal licens
es for hunting migratory birds. The
recommendation called for licenses

that the revenue from such licenses
would amount to between $1,000,000
and $2,000,000, which could be used
for the protection of game.
Graphite for the Motor
There seems to be a general be
lief among motor car owners that
graphite has its application only as
t lubricant for gears, joints, etc., and
not at all for the motor. This idea
is absolutely erroneous; graphite is
an excellent lubricant for use in the
motor, when the flake form, the
proper one, is used in conjunction
with the regular lubricant. There
are certain forms of lubricant which
employ graphite in various com
binations with oils, and these often

once every month, he car owner
should jack up the wheels of his car,

them to see if excessive end play has
developed. Rear wheels are partic

Oil for Old Motors
After a motor has seen reason
ably long service, so that the pistons
do not fit as closely in the cylin
ders as they did at first,-it is ad
visable to use a heavier grade of
oil in order to take up a little of the
clearance. In racing motors where
the piston to cylinder clearance is
often more than twice that used in
ordinary practice, the drivers use
heavy oil. High viscosity lubricants
such as castor oil or mixtures of cas
toi and mineral oil, are favorites for
racing motors.
