ZERO COLD TEST
FOR MOTOR OILS
By P. r. Melchert
Lubricating Engineer of Standard Oil
Company.

We know that correct fabrication is
the most vital factor in the operation
of motor car. During this cold weather
we find that our motors do not respond
as quickly as is the case during the
summer. Lubricating oil is partly re-
sponsible for this condition. This an
noyance of sluggish and inefficient
motor can be largely eliminated by the
use of correct oil.
For correct cold weather fabrication
the Cold Test of motor oil is a most
important feature. Upon it depends very
largely the flexibility, power develop
ed, fuel consumption, and wear and
tear of the motor.
The Cold Test of an oil is the low
est temperature at which it will flow;
for instance, if an oil has Cold Test of
80 degrees it will pour at that temper
ature and become solid about degrees
lower.
Oils that CONCEAL when the weather
is at freezing point or at 80 degrees
r., are not suitable for fabrication dur
ing cold weather because the resistance
offered to the sheering of the film is
high, for we learn that the value of
lrbricating oil depends upon its fluid
ity at the temperatures at which it is
used, that is, fluid oil or one having
a good cold test preferably zerol will
offer very much less resistance to the
sheering of the film than a thick or
sluggish oil or one which has a poor
Cold Test and is in the condition of
Jelly in the crankoase.
We know that all gasoline engines
start hard iE cold weather because the
fuel does not vaporize as readily at
this time as it does during warm wealth
er, taxing the batteries to their limit.
II poor Cold Test lubrieating oils are
used, the additional power necessary to
turn the motor over is very materially
increased, which means rapid draining
of the batteries and, consequently ex-
pensive upkeep.
again, if an oil Of poor Cold Test is
used or one that eOngeals in the oil
ing svstem d''ring these Geld mornings
II will not Intricate the motor correctly
because il is too thick or sluggish to
pass between the close fitting bearings

Is to 81 minutes and the temperature Of
the motor has ihinned the oil down, dur
Ing which time excessive wear of the

means not only expensive adjustments

sumption, and q sluggish and ineffi-
eient motor.

New York, Jan. 19.-Pcfor match

again Carried lthe ponderous heavy
weight into the limelight of public
discussion. Criticism of Fulton S con-
sent to meet Billy Miske, ridicule be-
cause he failed to stop the smaller
man in ten rounds, and discussion over
The outcome held the pugilistic stage
today.
The fact that Fulton defeated Miske
counts for but little in his reputation.
The bout win go down in the records
as nodecision affair, but remarks
will continue to be made about it.
Fulton s string Of knockouts against
heavier men doesn't look bit good
stacked up against the fact that one
of the smallest men he ever fought
was able to take his hardest punches
on the jaw and some back for more.
Miske is one of the few men who have
fought Fulton more than just a few
rounds. 1t has been a long time since
Fulton waded through a ten round mill
ing with any scrapper.
Lots of credit must therefore be
handed Miske.
Probably the first thing to come
about will be a demand for Miske s
manager for a return bout with the
plasterer over longer route and with
a decision attached. Fulton is the kind

Another condition which shows the
inefficiency OF poor Cold Test oils very
plainly to the operator is the necessity
for frequent gear shifting.
Eastern refiners and motor car man
ufacturers recommend light oils for win

tion, realizing that oils of poor Cold
Test cannot be used successfully during
cold weather. They are compelled to do
this because light Eastern oils have a
better Cold Test than medium-bodied
Eastern oils.

them the correct oil for use at all sea-

The Battle Today
BY j. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

BY crossing the Aisne river along the southern
battlefront, the Germans have opened their defen-
sive positions against possible allied offensive in
that area but they have made no gain which threat
ems serious consequences to the allied armies.
There long stretches of territory in the sector
now under Hindenburg's attack which
be relinqushed with perfect safety by Gen. Foch in
exchange for heavy German casualties. The allies
better afford to lose the graund than Won Hin
denburg afford to lose the needed to take it.
It was in this same region that Gen. Neville lost
his post as commander-in-chef Of the French
armies in the spring of 1917 because of the failure
of his offensive. Neville at that time made great
er advance than Won Hindenburg has succeeded in
doing, but the French government did not consider
the heavy casualties worth the ground gained.
IT, therefore, Won Hindenburg wishes to pay the
cost in slaughtered German man power for a recov
cry of the territory that fell to the French last year,
Gen. Foch undoubtedly will be content.
Immediately to the south of Berry au Bac
ranges of hills that form splendid traps for the
gathering of tolls of death by the AngloFrench
forces
The fact that Won Hindenburg is attacking in
great force does not yet signify with full certainty
that he has thrown the full weight of majo often
pose to try to entce Gen. FOch into moving the
flower of the allies reserves into the Aisne sector
and then suddenly to shift the attack to the Amens
or acknowledges sectors.
Gen. Foch, however, proved by his cool judgment
during Hindenburg's recent Ypres offensive
that he is not easily enticed into usirig up his re-
serves. 1t probably will require far greater pres
sure than Won Hindenburg has yet eXerted along
the Aisne for the allies reserves to be called into
action. Won Hindenburg is far more likely than
Foch to be outgeneralled by the test.
