THE MODERN MOTOR OIL
iVeic Polarine is made to the higher standards of scientific
lubrication required by modern motors.
Wax, tar and other non-lubricating elements are removed
from new Polarine. Oxidizing ingredients which form
sludge in the crankcase and soraetimes cause clogging
of the oil lines and over-heating of the motor are all
removed.
The carbon content of new Polarine is less than half as
much as that of old process oiiL New Polarine stays
clean longer.
Netc Polarine is made from selected oils and varies least
in body from zero temperatures to the operating heat of
the motor. It guarantees effective lubrication under all
operating conditions.
For these reasons, new Polarine in the crankcase of truck,
tractor and passenger car is your best guarantee of safe,
protective lubrication 25c a quart.
At Red Crown Service Stations and Dealers and delivered
everywhere in Nebraska. Consult the new Polarine Chart
for correct grade.

SERVICE STATIONS
STYLES IN FICTION
The public state in fiction, like
styles in women's dresses, frequently
undergoes radical changes.
Pick up almost any magazine now
adays and you will find that a major
ity of the stories therein deal with
the doings of gangsters, racketeers,
and other denizens of the lower
world, with a sprinkling of World
War scenarios.
This class of fiction is evidently
written for the consumption of per
sons who read sketchily, or merely to
pass away time. Unfortunately, this
constitutes a major portion of the
reading public.
It is rather difficult to determine
whether, in our reading as well as
our thinking, we have grown more
sophisticated or easier to please dur
ing the past decade.
Books that were popular during
the turn of the century give evidence
that the people of that period de
lighted in dukes and duchesses. In
England. Anthony Hope constructed
his imaginary kingdom of Hentzau
and filled it with kings and princess
es and prime ministers and pretend
ers and a full complement of the
higher nobility; and soon thereafter
George Barr McCutcheon gave us his
kingdom of Graustark, which was
similarly equipped.
F. Marion Crawford, through the
medium of fiction, kept us informed
of the doings of the Roman and
Spanish aristocracy, and we knew
when we opened one of his books
that, save for butlers and other such
accessories, we were in little danger
of meeting anyone whose rank was
lower than that of a count.
Charles Major, whose name is well
nigh forgotten today, established a
new vogue with his "When Knight
hood was in Flower," which involv
ed three kings and several queens,
and dukes and things like that al
most without number. Paul Leices
ter Ford's popularity depended at
leaBt in part on his ability to draw
the nobility, and sometimes royalty,
into his tales; even in "Janice Mere
dith," his novel of the American
Revolution, he makes (his hero a
descendant of the ruling house of
England, although not on the distaff
Bide.
But, you say. the enthusiasm for
the works of Hope and McCutcheon
and Crawford and Ford and the rest
has waned, and this mora realistic
age finds no charm in their dream
kingdoms. You say further that we
read biographies today and consider
thiB over-romantic 6tuff silly.
But what of Dumas? Dumas' un
failing charm Is not wholly due to
his verve, vigor, and audacity; in
addition, he ushers us into stately
courts and revives for us the long
vanished pageantry.
It is true that the members of
his famous quartette are non-royal,
and In the case of Portho seen his
nobility is in question. Yet we know
that d'Artagnan is Invitably destin
ed to become a marshal of France
and that Athos carries his cardinal's
hat in his portfolio. More, Dumas
makes the old regime live for us
again. His Henri III is a portrait at
least as satisfying as the d'Artagnan;
like Athos, we feel at home with roy
alty and we understand something
of the emotions of Louis XIV.
Dumas' father was a great repub
lican general and Dumas himself was
almost a child of the revolution. Yet
his greatness lies in the fact that he
could reproduce the nibler times. His
novels of the revolution, "Chevalier
de Maison Rouge." "Countess de
Charny," "The "Whites and the
Blues," and the rest are rather in
sipid stuff; his Valois series will sur
vive as long as romanticism endures.
If our taste in fiction has under
gone a change, however, our choices
in the field of biography show that
the love for dukes and duchesBes still
survives.
The only real difference is that we
take our supply of romanticism in
a different form. Everybody is not
fascinated with stories of the under
world regardless of their multiplicity.
Strachey's "Victoria" and "Eliza
bether and Essex" are examples. Here
again we are introduced into courts
and to the royal and noble person
ages, and learn to know them inti
mately. In reality, our interest In
these works is similar to the inter
est of the previous generation in
"Graustark" and "Hentzau."
In both cases we are enabled to
move in another world, and are pleas
ed to find that the personages who
have both splendor and power are
remarkably like ourselves. We like
to read Saint-Simon, who apologises
when he mentions anyone below the
grade of marquis and considers t hat
dukes and cardinals alone are really
worthy of his notice.
Such works will always appeal, and
it unfair to say that they appeal to
snobbery. Instead, their popularity
shows that we are all children, after
all; for those who lead rather dull
and prosaic lives, they are grown
up fairy stories that show us gor
geous palaces and enchanted land.

EXIT SEYMOUR
The Republicans will breathe a
sigh of relief at the departure of
Victor Seymour from the scene, al
though his resignation as manager of
the Western headquarters of the Re
publican Senatorial Campaign Com
mittee will not begin to repair the
damage done. The Nye committee
stripped off the windings of the
Grocer Norris mummy and revealed
his short-lived candidacy as a con
temptible conspiracy to defeat Sen
ator George W. Norris. Grocer Nor
ris and his attorney, A. Paul John
son, reversed previous testimony to
confess that Seymour had induced
the ignorant grocery clerk to enter
the race and had paid his $50 filing
fee.
Seymour, full of protestations and
denials that he is guilty "of any
wrong act," nevertheless steps out.
We do not know what Seymour con
strues to be right or wrong, but if
he can stretch his ethics to Justify
the Nebraska business, he hardly
qualifies to one of the great moral
philosophers. It would be interest
ing to know Just how far up the con
spiracj to trick Norris out of re-election
went. It is inconceivable that
Seymour should embark on so daring
a strategem without the knowledge
of his superiors. What, for example,
does Senator Moses, who once refer
red to Norris and his Senatorial allies
as sons of the wild jackass, know
about it.
Moreover, the conspiracy plainly
received inspiration and help from
the electric power interests, whence
the traft leads directly to the Muscle
Shoals controversy. Norris brilliant
10-year fight against surrendering
this great public property to private
interests for a song has arrayed
against him the massed forces of the
Power Trust.
The underhanded war against Nor
ris is as much an economic fight as
it is a political one. St. Louis Post
Dispatch. WOMEN'S PEDESTAL
While chronic letter writers are
complaining through the papers that
giving rights to women has lost for
them much of the courtesy and re
spect they were formerly shown in
public as well as in private life,
complaint is made by an English
visitor a man that the man of
America have become satisfied and
even sickeningly ostentatious toward
women since they secured political
freedom and are giving to them "a
species of oriental obeisance and cere
mony almost approaching edifica
tion." Another Englishman, seeking a di
vorce in Paris from his American wife
charges that she, from the very wed
ding day, sought to crush his dig
nity, treated him like a servant and
tried to force him to kneel to her
mother.
Perhaps these men are only having
their Joke about the American wom
en, but they should take warning
and not aggravate that ideal man,
the American husband, too far, lest
the worm turn.
:o:
Somebody says that the Socialist
Party is anxious to acquire an em
blem from the animal kingdom to
match the elephant, donkey and
camel of other parties. So far as we
know the goose and house fly are unclaimed.
