From the Vacuum Oil Co., Hong Kong we have received a copy of a booklet, "Correct Lubrication for Motor Cycles and Cycle Cars" that is full of most useful information.
We quote the introductory chap-has
tor:-
One half of the money spent on
repairs is wasted). Why? Be- cause that half might have been saved by correct lubrication,
The seized platon or bearing, and the consequent expense of getting home, the days of service lost-all may be the result of incorrect
'lubrication.

What is incorrect lubrication? Using oils of poor quality or of the wrong body for the machine, failing to provido sufficient oil, or
to clean out the crank case re-
gularly. Each of these lends to rapid wear, heavy depreciation, re- pairs, and increased cost of opera-
tion.
Suppose at the end of each year you reckon up the cost of running
your machine.
You will find that your bill for lubrication in the smallest sum involved in the total operating ex- penses. Yet the rate of deprecia- tion, the economy fa fuel and oil consumption, and the amount of your repair bill depend on this
small lubrication item.
Suppose you try to economice by purchasing a low-priced oil. What happens?
You save, perhaps, 108. on your year's bill for lubrication, but in Home impromptu race, or on a long steep hill, the low-priced of fails to stand the test of service and your engine seizes up.
Perhaps you were not so un- fortunate. Your oil may seem to be working all right. But in the meantime relentless friction is taking its toll from your engine, and is wearing away the bearing surfaces. Soon, much sooner than you have a right to expect, a knock develops and repairs are necessary..

A MOTORING PROTECTION.
When motoring first came in most! women protected their complexiona from the unavoidable wind and dust with chiffon veils (saya thu "Manchester Guardian"), Now that veils are quite old-fashioned, It is difficult to know what protec tion to adopt, but a girl seen recent ly on a motor bicycle was amply protected by a transparent, talc mask. This slipped out from her cap like a bird's beak and came down past her nose, so that, with her head slightly bent, her entire face was screened, and yet she was able to breathe freely and seo clearly, both of which are difficult through a veil.
