IN its issue of March 5, the Gazette, of Hutchinson, Kansas, says: “THE BRIGHT SIDE The Standard Oil Company gets into print often but never on account of trouble with its employes. Arthur Brisbane says the company is the best managed business organization in the world. The entire oil business has been singularly free from labor troubles which have beset many of the other major industries. Reasons for this can be found in the fact of the rapid growth of the industry, the payment of relatively high wages and the shifting of producing and refining centers. The oil companies, however, have not been content to allow harmony to rest entirely with conditions. Efforts have been made, in the Standard and other companies, to obtain the greatest harmony possible among the workers. The Standard of Indiana was a pioneer in fostering a policy granting employes, through their elected representatives, a voice in settlement of all questions affecting their welfare, as to wages, hours of labor and working conditions. How the plan is working is expressed by Colonel Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of directors, who says: ‘The greatest thing needed in American industry today is a better understanding between employes and management The day of intolerant and drastic methods by either the leaders of capital or labor is past. Each needs the other, and the policy of establishing good-will, peace and understanding have been established between the management and employes of our company. ‘For five years we have worked together in mutual esteem and trust For the Doard of directors, I say to you that while the problems presented by the situation in the oil industry today are stupendous, we face them with a greater confidence because we feel that we have back of us the wholehearted support of every man and woman in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)/ The oil business has its virtues as well as its foibles, if conducted properly/* The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been relatively free from labor troubles because justice, equity and fairness are fundamental to the organization. Without loyalty, earnestness and complete harmony in its organization of 27,000 men and women, this Company would be unable to render to the thirty million people of the Middle West, the comprehensive service which they now enjoy and which is so essential to their commercial and domestic life.

nv to Tune it

Checking Up Condition of the Ignition System

Asa general rule, it is a good idea for the average driver to keep his hands off the Ignition System as long as the engine is running properly. Now this does not mean that you must NEVER touch the Ignition System, but is meant to warn you against touching it until you thoroughly understand what you are doing. There is a certain amount of attention and care that every driver should give the Ignition System about every 8,000 to 10,000 mlies and this article will tell you just what to do and how to do it.

Next examine the wires leading from the Coil to the Distributor, to see that all connections are tight. Trace the wire leading from the coil to the Ignition switch to see that it has not rubbed through at any point, and make sure also that the connections at the back of the switch are tight. The coil requires no attention other than to see that it is clean and free from dirt and grease. The Ford coils are the only exception to this rule. They have contacts that must be adjusted.

much wider than the thickness of the postal, they are worn, and should be dressed up and the gap set correctly. There are special files sold for this purpose which can be used in an emergency, but the best way to do this job is to take out the points and true them up on an oil stone or on an emery wheel, as they are generally made from tungsten metal, which Is hard to touch with a file. If the points are not absolutely square and true, they will only touch on one corner, and the engine will misfire and have no power or pep. It is a very delicate operation to true up the points of the contact breaker CORRECTLY, and it will be more satisfactory for the average driver to have it done for him by an expert mechanic. If the points appear to be open too wide, run your car along to a good mechanic and have him do the Job. then you are assured of good service from the Ignition System for another S.OOO to 10,000 miles.

examine the wiring. After a car has been running eighteen months or two years, the heat of the engine has a very bad effect on the rubber insulation of the wires, causing them to become brittle and hard. When the insulation becomes brittle, it cracks, and the Ignition current can then short circuit to any point where the wire touches a metal part, causing the engine to misfire. If the wires go through a metal tube, examine them carefully where they on ter the tube and also where wire comes out of the tube. If the rubber covering on the wires is cracked very badly, they are bound to short circuit, and you will save yourself a great deal of trouble if you install anew set of wires.

Probably the most important part of the Ignition System is the Contact Breaker. To examine this, unsnap the two small clips at the side of the Distributor head and remove it, leaving the wires attached. If the interior of the Distributor head is covered with an oily dust, wipe it clean with a cloth and some gasoline. If the contacts inside the head are dirty or burnt, brighten them with a piece of fine sand paper Now examine the Contact Breaker points. To do this, turn the engine over slowly with starting handle until you notice the points open at their widest gap. First test the width of the gap. This varies on different makes of Ignition Systems, but.,is generally just about the thickness of a government post card. If possible secure one of the special gap gauges furnished by the makers of the Ignition, and test the gap with that. If the gap does not appear to be opening more than the thickness of the post card, do not interfere with the points, even though they appear t 6 be pitted. If the points come together squarely when they are closed, they are making good contact. If, however, the points are opening
