PARIS. Feb. "a split i'm the

clared that the action of Pres't VIII
son in breaking off diplomatic rela-

considera BILE section of the German
people lad that it would naturally
lead TO a demand for less drastic
measures.
IL was pointed out that there are
only two courses open to Germany:
First-She may defy the entire world
by plunging into a reckless campaign
with her U-boats, SecOnd-She could
modify her blockade regulations in
such manner as would prevent any
further declarations of war.
Ii is believed here that the war
party in Berlin is too strongly en-
trenched TO have its position shaken
and that the ruthless submarine
warfare will go on as planned.

TWO WAYS TO TEST
AUTOMOBILE OIL
Heat Bottle Till vapor Forms or
Shake Water and Lubricant
Together.
ny G. ROYCE HoUGH.
Iocal Marmon Distributer.)

Automobilists are generally recog-
mixing, the need Of good lubricants for
engine oils.
We have regarded this as important
to the users of the Marmon "a, the
very efficient engine of which will
give so much better service II prop
erly fabricated.
There are two ways to test oil.
One is gradually to heat q bottle Of
oil until q yellow vapor arises on the
surface; maintain this heat about
fifteen mInutes then let the oil stand
about twenty-four hours. II the oil
is OF good quality. 1t will only turn
a little darker than originally. but II
It is not of good quality 1t will turn
black and a certain amount OF black
sediment will be seen. This Is exactly
what happens II such oil Is used in
the engine. {.
Another test II to take an equal
quality Of oil and water and shake
them together for about thirty, min
utes. After standing for twenty-four
hours the good oil will rise to the top
Of the water, showing clear line OF
separation. A poor oil will have q
considerable strip OF white fluid be-
tween the oil and the water, and II
the oil is OF a poor grade most Of the
fluid will become this whitish sub
stance.
This test is important, because a
slight amount Of water might become
mixed with any oil, and the oil should
be OF good enough quality to prevent
serious damage under these circum-
stances

SAYS LIGHTER CAR.
IS MORE EFFICIENT
Authority on Automobile Design
Explains Why 1t Is Less
Expensive.

Joseph Brinker, an authority OF
note on motor car design, said In q
recent issue of Golfers:
1.-The big, heavy men must expend
a considerably larger. part OF their
energy in moving themselves through
space than do the lighter men. The
latter are more active and use up
more Of their muscular energy in per
forming actual work, rather than
moving their own bulk from place to
place.
$50 1t is with the lighter car, as
compared with the heavier one OF the
same motor horsepower The latter
is less efficient than the former be-
cause IL must carry around Its add
tional weight. This means more wear
on the car itself, more wear on the
tires, and a greater relative consump-
tion OF fuel for the work performed
all of which means q higher operat-
ing cost"
There, in a nutshell, is the reason
why manufacturers are advertising
lightweight and statesmen are talking
II. The sales of cars would seem to
show conclusively that the number OF
people who want excess power and
size, and are willing to stand the ex
pense, is continually getting smaller
For these things not only make
economical operation impossible, but
eliminate the quick starting and stop
ping qualities, and ability on the
road, that are such notable character
Istics of the lighter cars of the best
design.

COOLED AUTOMATICALLY
Marmon 81 Has ThermostatIe En-
oIne Temperature Control.

Thermostatic control of engine
cooling is one of the new 1917 fea-
lures of the Marmon "a. The ther-
mostat il a very simple device that
effectively. keeps the temperature of
the water between 125 and 175 Fab
renheit all the time, the motor is run
ming. When the engine is cold the
"sylphon' unit in the thermostat is
contracted, and the water entering
the cylinder does not circulate
through the radiator, so that 1t heats
.up very rapidly.
As soon as the water becomes
heated the "syphon"i unit auto
matically turns the circulation
through the radiator. so that when
the water is hot all the water passes
through the radiator. Thus the water
warns up very rapidly when the en-
gine starts, and is prevented frytn
becoming too hot as the engine heats.
