for which America entered the war,
they could depend upon him to see
that they were preserved.

Low COLD TEST OIL
ADAPTED FOR WINTER
Experiments Prove This Fluid Ad-
vantageous in Frigid Weather.

The following data has been fur-
nished by the Vacuum Oil Company:
When winter is as warm as sum
mer. or all fabrication systems are OF
the positive feed type, one grade or
lubricating oil will suit all seasons
until then, cold test oils will be re-
quired on many cars in the winter
months.
To meet mechanical conditions and
secure correct =lubrication, some cars
equipped with force feed or full force
feed fabrication systems, requires the
use of heavier bodied oils In both
winter and summer. These systems
insure q positive feed to all friction
points.
The chief factors governing the
Recommendation or oils of low cold
test for winter motoring are as fol-
lows:
They permit of greater ease in the
starting Of the engine. This Is be-
cause an oil having low cold test re-
mains more fluid at the low tempera-
lures and offers less resistance to the
moving parts Of the mechanism than
would an oil Of high cold test. The
high cold test oil would be more af-
fected by low temperatures, causing
1t to CONCEAL and retarding the action
of moving parts in starting.
Where oils of high cold test, or those
which CONCEAL under slight cold con-
ditions are employed, the metal sur
faces are oil-sealed one to the other
in cold weather. 1t Is necessary to
break this cold seal of oil before a
freedom of action of the working
parts, one upon the other, Is effected.
1t will therefore readily understood
why, il the oil upon these surfaces re-
mains fluid at low Temperatures, little
or no effort Is required to effect a
freedom of action.
Another feature to be taken into
consideration is the type of pump en-
ployed in the lubricating system ana
its relative position to the location Of
the oil reservoir. II the location of
the pump is higher than the oil level
in the oil reservoir. and an oil Is en-
pIoyed in this system that will con-
geal in the reservoir at low tempera-
lures. upon the starting Of the engine
il is possible that It will require quite
a few minutes before the oil Is timber
ed up by the temperature of the
crankcase, before the pump can draw
a sufficient quantity for circulation.
This Is especially true where plunger
pumps are employed.
To guard against this condition and
in such instances q low cold test oil
is recommended for winter use.
Other conditions, such as exposed
oil piping, exposed sight feeds and in
cases where small piping or small oil
hole drillings are employed, neces-
state the recommendation Of cold
test oils for winter motoring.

It was the general consensus Of opin-

there were proportionately more that

MURRAY EIGHT BUILT

Elegance and Charm.

There are but few motorcars
Of any note Manufactured In Penn
sylyania. The Keystone State may
not be able to boast Of as enormous
an output of automobiles as De-
troit. but for the handful Of cars
manufactured within its boundaries
Il can definitely claim the highest
rank in beauty of appearance and
dependability of power. The output
is not stupendous in size, but 1t is
superlative in quality.
Among the cars that mark their
birthplace within Penn's domain Is
the Murray Eight, built in a big
daylight" factory in Pittsburgh.
and sold locally by the Handeyne
Company, of 1926 Connecticut ave-
nue..
The Murray Eight has been built
not to achieve volume of output
or to lower prices, but to satisfy
those connoisseurs of motor cars
who seek q car of uncommon
quality in appearance, coupled with
dependabiliy in performances. The
free-nowing lines of the Murray
carry with them a sense of dis
tinction as well as utility, q bear
ing of dignity as well as speed and
power to spare. -
The Murray Eight represents the
highest degree of artistic body
building. 1t Is q car that will be
singled out from the passing par
ade at once. q car that will be given
more than O casual glance, one
that will stamp its owner as a man
who appreciates the best both in
looks and structure that the auto
mobile factories Of America can
give him. Every line of the Muir
ray speaks of elegance and charm.
The unique radiator and hood de-
sign is one of the identifying
style marks Of the Murray Eight.
The power plant of the Murray
Eight is exceptionally well bal
anced. sturdy and dependable. The
Murray eight-cylinder V-type, high
speed motor, is rated at 33.s horse
power, and is capable of high
speed with comparatively low gaso-
line consumption. Carburetion on
the Murray is supplied by an es-
pecially developed Zenith Duplex
carburetor. At all times this car
buretor acts automatically. insuring
the proper mixture for all speeds.
Ignition, starting and lighting sys-
systems and oiling are also Of the
highest quality. 1t has been the aim
Of the Murray Eight builders to
produce a car that will rank a
step above the ordinary car. both
in appearance and performance,

ness was far better than was hoped
for and exceeded all expectations.
Economy, Owners watehword.
In one word the keynote of the i'm
provements exhibited in the various
makes of cars can be summarized:
Economy! Economy in all those
things tending to reduce the cost of
upkeep, such as the consumption OIL
less gas and securing a greater mile
age from the tires.
Finer body designs, disc wheels and
the popular four-passenger sport mod
ell were distinctive features OF the
show. A new note In body design
lent something more than mere style
to the cars. Usefulness. one Is tempt
ed to call II.
Never before in the history Of the
automobile has the accessory and sum
dry trade given such abundant prom
ise as at this years show. Better ar
ranged exhibits and accessories of
greater interest to the everyday mo-
torist were features of that part Of
the exhibit.
Order Cars Now.
Surely, the automobile industry has
nothing to feel downcast over. With
such bright promise for the coming
year as exhibited at the show. there
is but one thing to do and that is to
order cars early and In as large num-
bers as possible. For the new models
for 1918 will be sold out long before
the ''youngster" of 1918 makes his
bow.
So smile; and in doing 50 help make
some other business brighter and its
owners happier.
