The first time you use Conoco Germ Processed Motor OiL a pine
to a quart will cling to. penetrate and combine with metal surfaces
and stay up im your motor. This "hidden quart" never drains mzmy!
Because of this. Germ Processed Oil gives you sure procectioa at
all times that no other oil can give.
Aim it kmlfot all your motor wear occurs while starting. The
"hidden quart" of Germ Processed Oil stays up in your motor
even after your car stands idle for weeks . . . and gives safe lubri
cation while you're starting. It stays up in cylinders to form a
strong piston seal, which makes starting easier and.quicker. Other
oils drain away, leaving parts unlubricared. The "hidden quart" has
saved hundreds of motorists costly repair bills by protecting motors
when thru accident crankcascs were emptied miles from town.
Only Germ Processed Oil gives you the extra benefits of the
"hidden quart". ... for only Germ Processed Ofl has penetrative
lubricity, the ability to penetrate and combine with metal surfaces

Very many adherents of the dry
cause read with regret the intem
perate statement of Dr. Clarence
True Wilson, general secretary of
the Board of Temperance, Prohibi
tion and Public Morals, regarding
tlie American Legion and its vote for
a prohibition referendum. To imply
that the men who voted for the
resolution were enemies of "the Con
stitution, decency and sobriety" is to
make an absolutely unwarranted, as
persion on the character of men of
standing in their communities and in
the country.
Such intolerance reflects, discredit
on the cause in which it is used.
Constitutional prohibition can be ef
fectively upheld by reason, not by
denunciation.

A special commission reports to

days of dryness and depression, try
to picture a grim-visaged Presbyter
ian pastor arranged in the garb of
an Episcopal priest.

With the chill air of early autumn
nights nature speeds her stronger
colors to greater development, ming
line them with the more delicate
hues cf summer, offering a striking
comparison in which the beauty of
each is shown at its best. She brings
into the picture flowers that find
full maturity as summer begins to
wane and mingles them with the
stronger, and bolder hues, more posi
tive colors, thus making a heroic
display for bright days that run up
close to the chill of fall.
The change in the signal cf the
approaching autumn, these flower
being the last actors in the floral
display. The mass picture shows the

Autumn is visible In the woods. The
shrubs unfurl their store of early
fall colors, the darker shades steal

which mark the ripeness of develop

generous growth.
The soil has yielded abundantly

FA Riff S AND BAILS
The cumulative arguments on be
half of the proposed increase of 15
per cent in railroad rates are based
very largely on the assumption that
the railroads are entitled, in fact,
to earnings equal to 5 per cent,
which earning, it is evident, they
do not now have and would not at
tain, even with the demanded in
crease.
Under the transportation act of
$920 the commission set up 5 per
cent as a fair rate of return.
But the act provides that "the
commission shall from time to time
determine and make public what
constitutes a fair return." This
mandatory direction has not. been
observed by the comjmission. t - -
The railroads should be given
such adjustments of rates as would
in some measure increase their earn
ings, but the adjustments should be
made with reference to what the re
spective lines of shipping can bear
and should bear. Certainly 5 per
cent was a fair rate of return in
1920, a fair rate at this time would
be lower,' even if higher than pres
ent earnings. The railroads plead
for an increase on the score of their
impaired credits. But what of the
depreciation of farm values and the
effect on farmers, it the horizontal
increase of 15 per cent were made?
It is simply unthinkable that farm
crs, already overburdened with mar
ket depression, should be called upon
tc pay additional rates on crops even
now unprofitable.
There is no question whatever as
to the powers of the interstate com
merce commission to adjust rates
with reference to the ability of traf
fic to bear them. The transportation
act while recognizing the right of
the railroads, by groups or in sec
tions, to have a fair return, adds:
"Provided, that the commission shall
have reasonable latitude to modify
or adjust any particular rate which
it may find to be unjust or unreason
able."

BOUAECE BY FB0XT
Although ocean flights have grown
almost commonplace lately, we still
get Just about as excited as we ever
did when two fliers who we had
thought dead turn up alive.
Movie and Allen didn't accomplish
what they set out to accomplish.
Even if they had. the tangible value
of their achievement would have
been Bomewhat ' questionable. But
because they disappeared over the
ocean, and were given up ior lost.
and then came to light after a so
journ on a barren island, they hold
our interest and we are eager to
read all we can about them.
The craving for adventure is one
of the race's oldest .and surest in
stincts. Host of us, these days, never
get much of an outlet for it. Shut
tling back and forth between home
and the Job, we never take any more
serious risks than those which rush-
hour traffic thrusts upon us. Fog
wreathed Islands off the Alaskan
coast are not for us. The adventure
we get has to be second-hand.
That la why we make so much of
Chaps like Moyle and Allen. Through
have been lifted out of the daily
routine and given a taste of the ad
venture we dream about. They give
us back our lost youth tae real
youth, that is an attitude and not a
matter of years.
For that reason it is useless to
speak as we did, a moment ago
about the "tangible value" of such
stunts as ocean flights. Whether
these long hops advance the cause of
aviation or not is of secondary im
portance. The main thing is that they put a
touch of romance into a world that
has grown unduly drab and mono
tonous. We can't go adventuring;
we shouldn't know how to act if we
could. Each of us has his own shack
les, and we would not give them up.
Instead, we go adventuring by proxy,
and cur spirits take leave of familiar
surroundings, for th elength of time
it takes to read a column in the
newspaper.
That is the sort of thing the ocean
fliers do for us. They disappear into
empty space, and we give them up
for lost, and then they come back to
us; and the monotony of every day
life 13 a little more endurable, for
all of us.
