the fire department
ANSWERS TWO CALLS
The fire department were called to
the apartments of T. T. Waid in the
rear of the W. P. Curtis tire shop at
,3:30 a. m„ Tuesday morning to ex
tinguish a small fire that was burn
ing between the floors in his kitchen;
the fire was caused from hot ashes
that Mr. Waid had taken from his
stove and left sitting on the floor en
cased in a pasteboard box; the fire
did but little damage other than char
ring a hole in the floor near the chim
ney. Mr. Waid says that he has been
taking ashes from his stove in the
same manner for years and this is
the first time that he has had trouble.
Shortly after seven o’clock this 1
morning the department was called j
to the residence owned by C. P. Uhl,
on highway No. 20, just east of the
C. N. King residence, where the south
part of the residence was on fire;
there was no one living in the house
although a man by the name of Zink
had moved some household goods in
to the house yesterday; the stoves
were not set up; the blaze seemed to
be located in the southwest corner of
the south room; the damage will
amount to about $400, which is cov
ered by insurance.

Penetrative
Lubricity”
MEANS
1. Freedom from Friction.
2. A “Carry-Over” Film by Metal Penetration.
O lubricate, an oil must decrease friction
between metal surfaces. A motor oil
docs this by jeparaling the metal surfaces,
and theoretically keeping them separated
under all operating conditions. It may amaze
you to know that many oils frcoucntly fail to
do this.
Think how this “separation” of moving
parts is accomplished. The oil forms a wall or
“film" between opposing surfaces .. . anil it is
upon this film that the reputation of every oil
must rest The film is thin, of course, for it
must ride in the tight crevices of bearings,
cylinder-walls, etc. . . . lint it must also be of
extraordinary strength ... it must cling tena
ciously ... or the pressure of your motor
will squeeze and hurl it from the vital points
that must be kept separated.
Penetrative Lubricity... The New
Gauge of Motor Oil Merit
Penetrative lubricity is the outstanding char
acteristic of the new Conoco Germ-Processed
Motor Oils. This characteristic is the direct
esult of Germ-Processing.
You must know this story of Germ-Process.
Briefly, it is the patented result of 16 years'
experimentation by the British scientists,
Wells and Southcombe. Back in 1901, when
everything of fundamental importance was
known about the refining of mineral oils . . .
these two scientists foresaw that additional
improvements must be made, in order to keep
lubricants abreast of the future development
of the “gasoline buggy ”
They knew that animal and vegetable oils
were "oilier” than mineral oils could ever be,
but were impractical (or use in internal com
bustion motors which operated at high tem
peratures.
Finally the Germ-Essence, containing the
“oily” property lacking in mineral oils, was
isolated. And a method was devised for com
bining this essence with highly refined mineral
oils.
Only Conoco Oils Are
Germ-Processed. . . This Gives
Tlu./i Penetrative Lubricity
Continental Oil Company now owns the ex*
elusive right to Germ-Processing for North
America. Only with these new oils can you
secure a fracture-proof film which actually
penetrates the metal surfaces of your motor!
What does this mean? ... It means that the
all-important film no longer may be hurled
and squeezed from moving parts. The Germ*!
Essence carries the oil into every minute
crevice . . . into the very metal itself. And
there it clings—clings when the heat of high
speeds seeks to scorch and drive it away . . .
clings when bearings try to squeeze it out . . .
clings, too, when you stop your motor. And
this is most important . . . for the oils you are
now using drain away as the motor stops, and
require 5 to 15 minutes to resume their guard
duty when you next tread on the starter. That's
why f0% to 60% of your motor wear occurs
in those first minutes of operation,
Save your motor by the use of this new oil.
Introduce it to Conoco Germ-Processed oils
today at the sign of the Red Triangle.
