MOTORISTS WHO KNOW THESE
FACTS WILL SAVE MONEY!
Motor oils refined by the usual methods
have some oiliness and film strength, but
they may form carbon and sludge, which
lead to expensive motor repairs.
Other oils may form almost no carbon
and sludge, but are so over-refined that
they are robbed of oiliness and film
strength they need to prevent motor wear.
Germ Processed Oil is refined to elim
inate carbon and sludge troubles and
then the Germ Process adds extra oiliness
and 2 to 4 times more film strength than any
straight mineral oil, as tests on Alniea
and Tizokea machines have proved.
ID YOU know that idling along
at 10 miles an hour or picking up
suddenly can cause as much motor wear
as high-speed driving?
All three put extreme pressure on your
connecting rod and crankshaft bearings.
If your oil does not have enough oiliness
and film strength to withstand these high
pressures, your motor parts suffer dam
aging wear. That's why you need oil with
the greatest possible oiliness and film
strength.
Straight mineral oils have no more oili
ness and film strength than they had 10
years ago. Some, because of over-refining,
have less!
Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil
has more oiliness and 2 to 4 times more film
strength than straight mineral oils! The
Germ Process adding concentrated oily
essence to highly-refined, paraffin-base
oil puts into this oil more film strength
and oiliness than any oil possesses natu
rally, no matter what crude oil it is made
from!
That extra film strength and oiliness
enable Germ Processed Oil to stay on
the job and prevent wear under the most
extreme pressure and heat. It helps Germ
Processed Oil give long mileage with
greater motor protection, as proved by
thefamousIndianapolisDestructionTest.
Germ Processed Oil protects your
motor another way. Because it penetrates
and combines with metal surfaces, it
forms a "Hidden Quart" that stays up in
your motor and cuts down wear during
the starting period.
Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil is
the oil you need in this day of slow city
driving, speed on the highway and sud
den acceleration everywhere. It protects
your motor and saves you money!

IvIYNAKD TAKES OPENING GAME
From "Wednesday's Dally
The kittenball season was opened
last evening at Athletic park where
a group of the rather chilled fans
gathered to witness the battle of the
Mynard Muleskinners and the Cohn
Blue Ribbon bo5s.
The Mynard team proved the win
ners in a free hitting contest by the
score of 14 to 13, the Mynard team
massing fifteen hits off Casey while
the Blue Ribbon team took thirteen
safeties from- Towner Livingston,
Mynard hurler. The Mynard team
had 12 errors checked to them to 5
for the beverage vendors.
The Mynard team built up a good
lead that was never headed by the
Blue Ribbons, altho they came close.
Royal Smith was backstopping for
Mynard in his old excellent form
while Tom Kriskey, last year with
the American Legion did the catch
ing for the Cohn's.
The box score of the game was as
follows:
