But there is a point of saturation being reached that cannot so easily be overcome; that is the highway con- ; gestion. Today driving, for the average motorist, is a 4 matter of stern necessity and of nerve tension. It fre- quently takes longer to go ten miles in your car on a Sun day boulevard than it did with a good stepping horse 20 years ago. As congestion increases accidents increase, the jails fill up, the law has to devote most of its time to traffic , and an increasing number of heavy damage award: ainst fuckless autoists is making driving a real peril for the man with a little property. This highway congestion will become worse, inevitably, until the average autoist uses his car only as a matter of business, and the Sunday excursion will be indulged in only by the penniless and the reckless. Mature drivers, with property and nerves, will take a street car, or a gen- fe stroll in the park. Ten thousand dollars’ worth of tin Elizas require about a million dolla worth of roads. There are not enough roads to be had for the autos already in service, and there is not money enough on earth to build them. When all those who have not yet experienced the pleas- ure of a typical Sunday drive in their own car get the thrill, the point of saturation will have been. reached. a Some New Yorker might get elected president if he didn’t think the United States was a suburb. Florida university has made Bryan a doctor of laws, Will has been their dry nurse all along. Bulgaria’s new cabivet is off. It is Zankoff, Moloff, Smiloff, Rousoff, Todoroff and Kazassoff. ‘ It is easy to get a boy to take a bath.

The Nosey Period When history gets around to take a calm survey of the present period in our national progress it will probably this the Nosey Period. We have come upon the time when minding your neigh- bor’s business is the great national pastime. In every city, every day, at least one excited voice yells for the po- lice to investigate some neighbor who came home with a packet of raisins, or who cut the lawn before breakfast, or who took the Daily Dozen without pulling down the blind. ‘Ten years ago it was a serious crime that resulted in a telephone call for the police. Today nothing less than the turning out of the militia will satisfy the thirst for action. Probably much of this was incubated during the war when a fool government allowed volunteer sleuthing ex- Peditions to hunt out alien enemies. Much of it has come the festive activities of private temperance squads that hold themselves above the law and the constitution, and that seek to be privately responsible for the enact- ment of the eighteenth amendment. Whatever the origin ot this pestiferous prying, the fact is, the country over, that we are in the firm grasp of the gossip, the prattler, the peeking busybody, the mind-the- other-fellow’s-business squawker, and the most innocent actions of the most upright citizen may easily result in some hectic howl from an erotic-minded moron, and a silly session in the nearest court. The worst of it is that the average police department is paying as much heed to this sort of puerile twittering as it is to matters of importance to the public safety. The spectacle of a motorcycle squad of half a dozen cops from headquarters tearing ten miles thru the night into the most distant suburb because some spinster saw a boy hugging his girl on the school steps is a common one. Meanwhile, the dangerous professional criminal never had it any easier. Palm Beach aviator hurt du burned during their take-off. ig takeoff.

Mercy Severely Strained Fuller and McGee, the New York bucketshop fellows who bamboozled their foolish customers out of $6,000,000, were given indeterminate sentences of one year and three months to four years each. They may, with good be- havior, be free in a year. The same court has been sentencing grand larcenists and burglars to, prison for full five years and more. The judge explains his leniency to the bucketshop thieves by saying they pleaded guilty and threw them- selves on the mercy of the court. They made no mistake in doing so. Since the $35 criminal goes up for five years and the $6,000,000 thief gets but a year, the conclusion is easily reached that the quality of mercy is strained to the limit in that particular court. It is the kind of mercy that is inoperative unless appealed to, and its application seems to be measured by the crime under scrutiny. Little crime, little or no merey; great crime, mercy a-plenty and in proportion. And yet some people profess to wonder why contempt of court is not infrequent. “Some party can have this slogan for their presidential race: “When in rum vote as the rummies do.” Big rainstorm hit New York recently and thousands tasted their first water in several weeks, Philadelphia station fire may have been set by the remarks of a man who missed his train, When airplanes get as thick as autos we will have to take the chim- neys in at night.

There is one important cause for this — lack of lubrication on the upper cylinder walls, This usually is due to the use of an oil too heavy in body, or one Jacking the right body atone or more of the vary- ing temperatures of engine operation. Zerolene Prevents This Waste — because it is made in bodies which en- able it to penetrate to al/ bearing surfaces and to reach all parts of the cylinder walls and pistons in sufficient quanti- ties to keep them well protected with oil. Furthermore, Zerolene is made from carefully selected Western Naphthenic Base Crude, which experts agree pro- duces an oil having greater penetrating or “crawling” qualities, and greater adhesive- ness, than oils made from any other crude whatsoever. And—note this well—Zerolene main- tains constantly at all operating tem- peratures just the right body to give perfect lubrication. Asa result, Zerolene gives adequate However,many oils, some of them selling for twice as much as Zerolene, cannot be permitted to do this, for in burning they would foul the combustion chambers with an excess of carbon in a very short time, 30% Less Carbon Zerolene forms less carbon than any other motor oil known to us. It averages 30% less than other oils. The carbon is soft and fluffy and most of it blows out with the exhaust. For this rea- son the Zerolene-lubricated automobile may be driven from 25% to 50% farther without having the valves ground or the cylinders rebored. 5% More Gasoline Mileage ~ Tests show that Zerolene giving better lubrication continuously, enables an auto- mobile to average 5 % better gasoline mile- J age than when other oils are used. ; Insist on Zerolene Even If It Does Cost Less Zerolene costs less than other oils be- cause of our facilities for producing and : distributing it in great quantities on the Pacific Coast.
