Don’t fill your mo- tor by pouring ofl into it through a dirty or sandy funnel. Sand and dirt do not lubricate, but they do destroy. Don't use too light an oil under: the impression that an ofl must be very light in order to reach all parts. The temperature of your motor is so high that too light an oll will be, fo thinned out as to be of little u @ lubricant. For efficiency and economy use the heaviest ofl permissible with your lubricating system. Even heavy oils run freely when exposed to the heat within the crank case. Don't forget that an air cooled motor requires heavier ofl than a wates cooled motor, because of its higher operating temperature. Latha think that of! never wears out. When you drain the old oil from the crank case always rinse it out thoroughly with kerosene before filling in the fresh oil. Be sure ot close all drain cocks.

ALDERMAN IN NEWARK CHARGED WITH BRIBERY Baker Accused of Taking $100 Bill After a Lighting Contract Was Approved. Alderman George H. Baker, Repub. lican leader in the Ninth Ward, New- ark, which he represents in the Coun- cll, was held under $5,000 bail by Judge Grice in the First Criminal Court here to-day on a charge of hav~ ing accepted a $100 bribe. Baker is also charged with conspiracy, as is Alderman Thomas Lee of the Sixth Ward, a Democrat. Lee has not been located by the police. It is charged that Charles Fay, su- perintendent for James F. Kelly, @ plumbing and heating contractor, passed the money to Baker in the City Hall last evening. Kelly bid for the heating and ventilating of the new Police Headquarters building. He bid about $14,000 and was the low- est bidder. Kelly claims there was a conspir- acy entered into by Lee and Baker to do him out of the contract. But last night the Building Committee, of which Baker and Lee are members, reported to the Common Council in favor of awarding the contract to Kelly, As Fay was leaving the City Hall he ts alleged to have passed a $100 bill to Baker, Baker says it was simply the return of money he loaned Kelly. ee CLOSING QUOTATIONS. to overcome this condition? vas every imorning.
