!HE average motorist feels safe
when his oil gauge shows motor
oil up to the proper level. But he
is mistaken.
Every time you use the choke you dilute
your oil. Every piston stroke draws in road
dust. A dilution with 5 percent of gasoline
lowers the lubricating efficiency of oil fully
15 percent. After five hundred miles oper
ation the dilution averages more than this.
Contamination by dust and carbon has
changed its nature. It is rapidly becoming
a grinding compound.
To give your motor protective lubri
cation you must keep it supplied
with clean oil of the rigbt body.
J
I
Take lubrication
seriously and
your motor will
last longer and
gh'e you better
service.
Consult the Polarine Chart. Buy the right grade of Polarine for your car.
Keep the oil up to the proper level. Drain and flush thp crank-rase after
every Jive hundred miles of operation and refill uith fresh Polarine.
This will save vou many times the cost of oil in the greater mileage and
power you will get from gasoline and the entailer cost for necessary repairs.
Buy Polarine where you

light, medium, medium heavy, spe
cial heavy and erf ra heavy to suit

It is true that a group of disrep

among Daugherty's close associates.
But the testimony of Roxie Stinson
and Gaston Means was valuable av
showing what kind of intimates Mr
Daugherty had and what kind oi
men he had in his department.
Was Mr. Daugherty's statement:
"My conduct and my associates have
been equal in respectability to those
of any public official in Washing

The insurance bonus is a palpable
trick. Both the American Legion

Oliver Wendell Holmes says some
where that "Society is a strong so
lution of books. It drawF the virtu,
out of what is best worth reading,
an hot water draws the strength of
tea leaves." This is a statement
destined to open the eyes of thos
pedants who believe that all learn
ing lies in the musty shelves and al
cove? where books abound.
If is surprising how many persons
quite the reverse of scholars have
ideas on current literature and even
that of a bygone day. The second
hand shops dd not flourish for the
professional stulent alone. There
fere, instead of steeping himself in
his own books with only his own set
of faculties to guide him, it was
Holmes' idea to get close to people,
and read books through their eyee.
Choose them when they are "good
natured and expansive, as they .are
apt to be at table." said Holmes.
In this suggestion lies hope not
only for the scholar, in furnishing
him a new and pleasant means of
learning, but for the man who har
only brief intervals to give to book.s.
Even though he has little time for
learning, his opraions are not worth
less. He will learn, too. by this con-
honest bene- centra ted method alrc-idy i-'ated.
when he makes a point of view.
