In this view we are fortified by the concurring opinions of many drivers. There is nothing complicated or confusing about these Instead In the opinion of intersections, , as their lonely critics have maintained. indicate plainly where cars proposing to make a left all travel and where those inten r to go straight thru or turn to the right shall run. And they aid ma- ally in dividing the traffic into two smoothly flowing streams where otherwise there would likely result a mad jumble. We need more intersections similarly marked. © Here and there you hear a war vet saying they don’t need # bonus, aut aazbe he doesn't.

Golf Links or Pool Halls? He had played the difficult second hole perfectly and been rewarded with a par four. His hair was thinning and his paunch was stretching, but his eyes beamed with joy. Despite the handicap of years and misplaced pounds, he had won the hole. True, his “pars” were few and far between—but perhaps that only added to the pleasure. |.

Drawing the Color Line The practice of “drawing a color line” is not character- istic of the white race alone. The man of color draws ‘a line, too, in principle. ; + In brown Japan are a million or more of the descendants of enslaved prisoners of Japan’s numberless civil wars p sand of crimin of the ancient times, They are called Eta (“defiled”) and they were the people to whom was jleft all the debasing jobs of the empire under the old re- | gime.

Fluffy or Flinty? —which kind of ‘‘carbon’’ comes from the oil you use? Some carbonaceous residue is depos- ited by all motor oils. That is a known fact. But there are two kinds of this so- called “‘carbon.”’ One is hard and flint-like as in dia- monds. It attaches to cylinder walls, pis- ton and valve heads, and it stays. Chisels or acetylene torches are re- quired to remove it. An Abrasive Being hard and gritty—hard enough to score cylinders—it acts as an abrasive, wearing cylinders, pistons, and rings. It prevents valves from seating prop- erly. Compression is thus lost. Small particles become incandescent, causing pre-ignition, which results in “knocking” and lost power. Spark plugs, becoming coated with it, are short- circuited, and miss. A Different Kind Most of the small residue from Aristo Motor Oil blows out with the exhaust. What’s left is soft and fluffy. Being softer than the metals, it can’t cause wear. Your car runs thousands of miles far- ther without grinding valves. Spark plugs practically never “foul.” As a pure lubricant this oil is unsur- passed. Neither paraffin nor asphalt is contained in it. It forms a tough, thin film penetrating to and protecting every part in any weather and in any. motor heat. It passes. every known test of perfect lubrication under all conditions that exist in motors. It’s the best that a great company like the Union Oil Company of California can make. If you want such lubrication, with en- tire elimination of all “carbon” damage, see that you always get Aristo Motor Oil, for sale at all first-class garages and service stations, Ask for touring road maps at any Union Service Station.
