Make This Your Automobile Correspondence School AN Intimate talk on the working units of the automobile discussed In such a war that the layman can easily understand them. If in reading these articles, as they appear in the Palladium each Saturday, there Is anything- not clear to you. ask Mr. Guerllch about It.

Lubrication The Force 8ystem When the force system of lubrication is used the oil is pumped from the crank case and forced through a series of pipes, to the main bearings. From the main bearings the oil goes to the connecting rod bearings through the arms of the crank shaft. In order for the oil to pass through the crank shaft arms, holes are drilled in it, as shown in the illustration. Big. 1. Such a crank shaft Is termed a "hollow crank shaft." The oil will pass through the crank shaft arms, because of the force from the pump, and also because of the centrifugal force resulting from the quick revolution of the cranks.

The gas engine is a heat engine and It takes an extremely high grade of oil to lubricate properly where the temperature is as high as it is on this type of engine. A poor grade of oil will decompose or "crack" into its elements. Hydrogen and Carbon as soon as it comes Into contact with the hot parte. This carbon will be deposited on the pi6ton and cylinder head, and on the valves, where it will become white hot and often ignite the gasses before the piston has come up on its compression stroke and so try to drive the piston back in the wrong direction. This will cause what is known as the "carbon knock " The carbon

Tomato Borers
. F. W. Wesler, Garden Supervisor . Tomato plants are frequently attacked by the common stalk borer, a worm about an Inch long, dark in color, with five white longitudinal stripes. These pests cannot be controlled by a spray since they feed on the inside of the stalk and therefore cannot be reached with a poison.
ine jnjury is first noticed when a
portion of the plant wilts due to the fact that the supply of food and water from the roots is cut off by the feeding of the borers. The entrance hole of this worm is usually near the base
of the stalk and is easily found on
examination of the plant.
The only way to get rid of these pests )s to slit the tomato stems lengthwise with a sharp pen knife,
pull out the borers and crush them.
Then press the cut surfaces together and wrap the stem with a soft cloth
or raffia. If the tomatoes have been allowed to grow over the ground rather than staking them up, the cut surfaces may be covered with earth to promote healing. In dry weather, water should be supplied to the plants to keep them growing steadily and thus overcome the Injury caused by the knife. This same borer also attacks egg plants, peppers, potatoes, beans, rhubarb, corn and other vegetables, as well as many ornamental plants and weeds. Since it passes the winter in the egg stage on weeds, one method of control is to destroy all weeds near the garden. In the home garden, with only a few tomato plants it is a simple matter to control this pest by the methods above mentioned.

In case of purchase of wine Xrom dealers not under church supervision, the bureau expressed a preference that an affidavit of the use to which the wine was to be put occompany the order, for the protection of both ttie seller and the purchaser.

A separate pipe will be run to the cam shaft bearings and the half-time gears. Many cars have a combination of the force and splash systems; the splash throwing the oil on all parts but the main bearing which have the oil fed to them by the force system. When the force system is used, a pressure gauge, which will indicate the action of the pump is usually placed on the instrument board or the dash. The Pump Over System. The Pump Over System, differs from the force system only In that the pipes carrying the oil to the main bearings, the oil instead pouring into a large hole over the bearing. As a rule this system is used In combination with a splash system, the splash getting the oil on to the connecting rod bearing, the wrist pin, piston and cylinder, and cam shaft, while the main bearings are taken care of by the pouring over oll. When overhauling a car mechanics should do nothing outside of cleaning to the oiling system. There are, how. ever, a few points which must be remembered, when tightening bearings. In the last lesson you will remember that I mentioned the fact that the oil
could not get Into the bearing if the j
rressure were very great. One can by tightening the bearings too much, get them so that the oil cannot enter, and this Is very often done by auto mechanics, with the result that the bearings soon burn out. You should be able to revolve the crank-shaft by hand, and to move the connecting rods back and forth without much effort. The bearings should, however, fit "snug." Unless "oil grooves" as shown in
Fig. 2, be cut in the bearing, the oil will only get on the bearing in a line with the the thickness of the oil hole. The grooves are therefore cut in order to spread the oil the entire length of the bearing. Often in a worn bearing, these grooves will have worn away, and they must therefore be recut. This can be done with a fine cape chisel or the point of a scraping tool. Care of the Oiling System. Of course the first care of the oiling system is to see that there is the proper amount of oil In the crank case. Of all the things you must do to take care of your car, hero is one of which you dare not be negligent. A burned out bearing will mean that the entire engine must be dismantled and It is rafe to say that this will mean at least a week's work for a good mechanic and some of bis helpers. You must keep an eye on your oil gauge and sight glass on the dash, so a6 to be sure that pump is working properly. Many a bearing has burned out because of a failure of the oil pump. As a rule when the bearings
do not get oil, they will first bind j

system, as this is a sign of lack of lubrication. I would advise all owners to find out what grades and brands of oil woik best with their engine, and then buy this oil In sealed, labeled cans.
models for many years back. Your supply dealer probably can furnish you with one of these. Your lnstruction book will also tell you what grade of oil to use. Most engines require a heavier oil In the summer time than in the winter time. In practically all of the present day cars, the oil is used over and over again. In time this oil will, even though a little is added now and then, become thin and have lost most of Its viscoscity and lubricating properties.
