Wilson’s New Popularity It nearly broke up a show the other night in Washington when an actor on the stage said it was an honor to play before Woodrow Wilson, whom he saw in the audi- ence. There were wild burrahs and handclappings, and, says one dis- patch, “The crowds which gather to see the expresident on such occasions are becoming = prob lem.” When he left the White Heuse Woodrow Wilson's popularity was at Its lowest ebb, His party had been almost abolished His bealth was broken. He was = wounded soldier of the World War. But it was not only in his body that he was disabled. His pride had received a terrific wound. He was despised arid rejected of men. Yet, he never deserved this re jection. He had given to the world a great new vision of order and peace thru s world organisa tion. His own countrymen—for reasons which would make a long, long story—denied this dream’s realization. Woodrow Wilson was the most tragic figure in the world. But it ts more than Ikely he never for a moment gave up the belief that his thaw would come in the field of history, It can hardty be supposed that he then hoped to live to see the people of today turn back to him. Bat they are doing it every day. Such occurrences as that above mentioned show it. And The Star does not envy that man his natare who docs not thrill with » grner- ous joy to see this great ex-prest- dent again receiving the acclaim of the people whem be served so well Russa’s orders wi be dictated but not red.

Chemical analysis shows that all tubricating oils are composed of about 85% carbon and 15% hydrogen in chemical combination, All tubricating oils form carbon when burned in the termine is the amount and kind of carbon formed by the oil.

For this reason this company is not compelled to use any particular crude because it happens to be the only one available, These selected crudes, carefully refined by our own patented, high-vacuum process, produce in Zerolene, oils of the highest lubricating value, which, when burned in the combustion chamber, develop a very small amount of carbon of a soft, flaky nature, which can do no harm and usually blows out en-, tirely with the exhaust.
