Paul Smith's, N. Y.. July 13. Gov
ernor Smith of New York, has found
it impossible to accept. the invitation
of President Coolidge to visit him ac
White Pine camp early this week,
rnd as a result the invitation was re
newed Monday night for Friday.
The invitation was extended by
Mr. Coolidge for the governor and
Mrs. Smith to have luncheon with
l ini and Mrs. Coolidge any day of
this week, but although transmitted
last Saturday was not received by
ttie governor, who was out of Albany.
Ilafty telephone calls resulted be
tween the secretaries to the two ex
ecutives during which it was said
that engagements of long standing
would make it difficult for the gover
nor to accept on the days specified,
and the outcome was a renewed in
vitation for the latter date.
One result is to make certain a
later departure of the president for
his boyhoad home in Plymouth, Vt.,
the general view here, in the absence
of a formal announcement having
been that he probably planned to
leave Thursday. Departure on Satur
day now appears the earliest moment
Mr. Coolidge can leave for that visit
which may keep him away from
White Pine camp for five days.
Negotiations on the visit of the
New York governor were carried oni
during a day devoted almost exclu-l
lively by Mr. Coolidge to fishing.

Same with an automobile, poor lubrication
spells trouble especially with the motor.
If it does not get protective lubrication it
won't run well for long. It will get noisy
and riding will be uncomfortable. It will
lose pep and power. It will soon wear out.
The best oil is the cheapest in the end.
It is the best guard against friction and
wear. So it pays to buy Polarine the
highest quality motor oil that years of
experience and the most extensive mami
facturing facilities have been able to pro
duce. Polarine resists the effecta' of heat, resists .
dilution, keeps down carbon troubles to
,the lowest point, provides a continuous
oil cushion that prevents friction. ,
' yse. the grade of Polarine recommended
foTyour motor by the oil engineers and
automotive experts who drew up the Po
larine Chart and you take the first step
towards protective lubrication. Drain the
dirty, diluted oil out after every five or six
hundred miles, or as frequently as the
manufacturer of your car recommends.
It will save you inconvenience and repair
expense. You can't safely economize on oil.
