THE BURNING TEST
Sticky tar from ordinary oid.type paraffn. base
motor oil

Place some ordinary motor oil Cthe
old-type paraffin base) in a cup.
Burn off about three-quarters. The
residue Is sticky tar. This Is ex-
actly what happens in an engine.
This gummy tar sticks to cylinder
walls, piston heads, valves, etc,
collects dust and dirt and forms
carbon deposit, the greatest obstacle
to efficient fabrication.

The only type of oil certain to properly
and efficiently lubricate the engine of your
car must meet the requirements of certain
factors, among the more important of which
are the following:
System of, fabrication
System of cooling
Speeds Of bearing surfaces
Condition of engine Gold or new
Climatic conditions (winter or summer)
For years three types of oil = light,
medium and heavy - have been thought
sufficient for all these lubricating needs
The fallacy of this may be proved by
simply examining the cars tied up in any
motor repair shop because of engine trouble.
Heavy repair bills, decreased power,
increased consumption of oil and gasoline
and rapid depreciation in value of cars make
up the high cost of poor fabrication.
Elimination of the cause of this tremen-
dous waste to motorists was, the task under

Accurate Lubrication Now Possib

taken several years ago by engineers of the
Sun Company.
Their studies embraced the entire auto
motive industry.
Their report was as follows: Produce
high-grade oil in six distinct types and it
will mark THE Dawn of New Lubrica-
ton
Thus was developed SUNOCO
MOTOR OIL-the oil of six distinct types
the most scientifically prepared, accurate
and uniform engine lubricant possible to
manufacture.
SUNOCO is non-compounded,
straight-run, 100 per cent distilled oil.
Never leaves hard, finty carbon deposit.
It does not contain paraffn, therefore flows
the instant the engine starts Being heavier
in body (viscosity) than other oils of a rela-
tive type, it maintains permanent piston
ring seal which insures maximum engine
power. -

What Is a Days Work?

ItIH l4tStlC
 At 7S, Thomas A. Edison said he was glad the eight-hour day had not been invented when he began to work, and that there was no agitator to prevent his putting his best into every days work No one would wish to return to the twelve or fourteen-hour day A reason ably short day has been found to be profitable to employer as we'll as just to employe. But the day may be made so short as to overstep the bounds or justice and to wipe out profit That is the situation at present. The demand for higher wages. coupled with the de- mand for a shorter day (which means lowered production). spells economic dis aster
 What the world needs now above every thing else is extra production, to feed the starving, clothe the naked and refill the empty storehouses. That can't be done on short day British labor lead CTS who have been preachin high wages linked with low production, have begun to see their error. James Henry Thomas. secretary of the British Rail waymens Union, has been telling the workers they must increase their output, that the British workman must work a quarter harder than before the war the French twice harder and the Germans eighteen times harder. Yet in all those countries, as in the United States, pro- dIction is lower than it was before the war. The second national industrial con- ference at Washington regarded favor ably theu niversal eight-hour day. If generally adopted. the eight-hour day, packed full of honest work, will do more than any other single factor to bring down prices by increasing the supply. Watered labor is fully as bad as watered capital.

Motion Pictures In Country Church

Chester c. Marshall, in the Christian
 Herald.
 II is doubtful whether motion pie lures can anywher ebe used to such ad- vantage or with such effectiveness in church and community wrok as in rural sections. More and ever more insistent becomes the demand for methods to bring the country folk to church and to enable the church to center the social life of the community about the church. Students of the situation are increas- ing1y turning to the motion picture as enc of the methods of accomplishing these ends.
 Even the conservative Anglican church is equipping motor lorries with motion picture equipment and genera tors and sending them out through the rural sections of England.
 Wherever electric current Is accessible the installation of projection equipment is as simple as elsewhere, and there are few places where wise management will fail to make the enterprise self-sup- porting. The better the equipment the more successful the work and the larger the revenue will be.
 If there is no electricity at hand. by far the most satisfactory plan is to in- stall a generating plant with storage batteries. A plant with power suffi- cient to furnish light and for power for any standard motion picture machine may be had for s400 and upward

ENGLAND FORG|VES HS WAR OFFICE
Interesting Stories Now Told of Incidents Dur
 ing Great War

London, July u.-(ReciprocaI News
 Service 1.-The bungling of the British
 war office is ever favorite theme in England, especially among officers who are supposed to know something about it, All through the war it was a grim
 standing joke that if any ybody lost the war they would find it pigeonholed in enc of the tortuous departments of White hall-which always, of course, led to the
 through somehow. Something more about how the office "muddled through has been told in an official re-
 port on organization which has just been issued Much of it's contents are already known; the nation is taking back some of it's hard words since those in power have , deigned to let it know more about the vast work accomplished day by day in France and elsewhere; but there are de- tails and incidents in the report whion are still revelations.
 Londoners today, looking at the littl5 Jenny steamers" plying on the Thames, can regard them with pride as we'll as that affection which it's citizens bestow upon every institution of London. It was not known during the war what had happened to those once popular little eN- cursion steamers. They had stopped rum ming. like a good many other things. One imagined them on some "cushy" pa- trol work in Calm waters. They are small side-paddle steamers (with tunnels that lie down, to every boys delight, passing
 under each bridge). with none of the pre- tentions of the great ferry boats of New York. and quite too small and dingy to show themselves anywhere on the Great Lakes. They had never smelled salt water and they were never built for anything but calm and well-behaved.
