Boston Symphony Is
Heard in a Recital
Monteux Conducts Program
Which Includes Works of
Brahms and Wagner

The, Boston Symphony Orchestra
played to a large audience at Carnegie
Hall last evening. giving an oppor-
tunity to observe NJ. Pierre Monteux as
conductor Of the music Of Brahms.
Gluck, Wagner and Liszt.
Perhaps the least familiar work on
the program was the overture to "Iphi-
genie en- Aulide," the first opera writ
ten by Gluck for Paris, sung in 1774.
The other pieces were Brahms first
symphony in G minor, Op. 6S; then
Wagner's prelude to "Parsifai" and
LISTS second episode from Lenau's
Faust" and "The Dance in the Village
Tavern" with the famous Mephisto
Waltz.
NJ. Monteaux's readinf of the SYM
phony was massive and concrete. Still
less inspired was his conducting of the
prelude from "Parsifal," which he d.
vlded into fragmentary sections, sep
arated by exaggerated pauses, the
whole woefully lackiny in psirit and
driving force

There are very few engines that
can efficiently use the same grade OF
cylinder oil in the winter as In the
summer, says the most recent issue
of Motor Life Magazine. Oils becor1"
more viscuous or sluggish in cold
weather and do not flow so readily.
For this reason. nearly every oil re-
finer recommends lighter grade for
the cold weather. 1t is merely mat
ter of common sense to refer to the
fabrication charts furnished for the
particular brand Of oil you use. and
make sure you are operating the en-
CINE with the grade specified for your
car. In NEST cases. too, the oil re-
finers have gone SO far as to specify
the grade best suited for each diff
ferept model or year OF each make of
car, as well.
More important. too. in winter is
absolute adherence 60 the rule OF
changing the cylinder oil completely
about every 500 miles. In cold wealth
Ter there is less Likelihood of the mo-
tor fuel reaching the combustion
chambers in properly vaporized con
ditiop, fully mixed with the air. There
ia apt TO be more or less gasoline in
raw state carried along with the rest
OF. the charge. and the more 40 be-
cause the use of the stranger or
choker on the carburetor tends TO
send undiluted gasoline direct to the
cylinders. Very likely the cylinder
walls and combustion chamber are at
a lower temperature than the fuel
mixture. which results in the Con""n-
sa alton of the free fuel on the cylinder
walls. This condensation eventually
tends to work it's way down into the
crankcasc, there diluting seriously
the lubricating oil.
This is all the moro pronounced
with worn engines, where the leak \
age between pistons and cylinder
walls Is considerable. OFTEN the oil
gauge may be deceivinE you into
thinking the oil is all right merely
because the level indicated is suffi-
Client AS matter of fact the mix
ture in the crankcase may be almost
useless as a lubricant as result OF
this dilution, and while the gauge
may show plenty OF liquid where the
oil ought to be, the chances are II Is
a dirty slush that is good for nothing,
unless you have been making prac'
tice of complete oil change every 900
miles.
