The Turks are almost surrounded now, and there seems to be no way for them to escape from the encircling British and Russian forces, which are gradually closing in on them from three sides.

OIL. And GREASE

Leonard Ffeer, Pacific Coast man

paRy, manufacturers ~ the we'll known
Veedol oils and gre9ses in a statement
the other day brought ont the fact that
the standard o. the company will be
kept up regardless of price. Smoot
& Steinhagser agents for Hawaii have
expressed themselves as more than
pleased with the grades on hand.
Freer says: ~
We are the pioneer grease makers
in the United States, and have never
lowered our standard Our greases
are all made from horsefat and from
high grade oil stock For horsefat
which we used to buy at sc per lb. we
now have to pay IL 1-2c. This is more
than doubled our cost of Veedol
greases during the past three years.
Unlike many grease manufacturers,
we do not use distiiiate and low grade
paraffin oils in place of high quality
paraffin, and vegetable oils in place OF
hcrsefat Horsetat, because of its
high melting point produces a cup
grease, which does not readily break
down under heat and does not disin-
tegrate, and the paraffin oil does not
separate from the other components.
The high cost of horsefat is due to
the fact that all animal fats are now
used to a great extent for making
glycerine, from which high explosives
are manufactured. and therefore only
small percentage of animal fats is
used in manufacturing grease.
We have maintained the standard OF
Yeedol greases rather than saeri
flee their quality, and Il is only ques'
ton Of time when other grease manu-
facturers will be compelled by market
conditions to materially advance their
costs and prices.

The company believes that work

cilities for their mental, physical and
social betterment, and at the same
time cement their relations to the com.
pany.
One of its prominent features is an
immense gymnasium, for all kinds OF
indoor athletics requiring a large as
sembly hall. 1t is to have a seating
capacity of 5000, with all stage and
assembly hall facilities. Adjoining
will be a swimming pool ranking in
every respect with The best in the
country. t.-a.-. : '..-.. =
Another feature is an auditorium
with a seating capacity of 400, ar
ranged with particular reference to
acoustic properties, to be used for
sales and factory conferences, thea.
tricals and entertainments. FL ...
Provision has also been made for the
housing of the company's factory
school and the offices of the numerous
Goodyear societies. In the basement
there are to be installed bowling al
leys, shower baths, locker rooms, rifle
range, check rooms and handball
courts ." .-.- .@.. =.
The new Goodyear hall is, for the
use of all employes-in factory, office
and outside organization Building

are equipped
In spite Of the activity of trade

Sales of certain well known makes
of cars have mounted well up in the
hundreds of thousands. and here, the.
alleged pirates find rich field for

However, 1t is seldom that a dealer
offers substitute parts for that par.

He seldom wastes time on the small
