UNUSUAL TEST Is
GIVEN AUTOMOBILE
Car Driven Il Miles Without
Oil Shows No Result of
Wear I'm Parts.

Several local automobile dealers.
mechanicians and owners witnessed
the most severe oil test a car can be
subjected to yesterday afternoon,
when r. c. Gerber completely
drained the oil from his Cha1dlor
car, loaded in five passengers and
drove Is miles with a dry crank
case.
Mr.. Gerber is tho local distributor
for "Oildag," which is hailed the
worlds greatest OIL and his enthu-
siasm over the lubricatirg qualities
Of this product was responsible for
yesterdays unusual demonstration.
J. Q. Samuels. service manager
for the Packard Motor Co, took the
wheel, wound about the down town
district a few minutes. then started
towards Mishawaka. While going
out Mishawaka av. a sreed of SO
miles an hour was registered. After
winding about Mishawaka the re-
turn was made. The time for the
trip was Is minutes.
The pistons were Immediately
drawn and thoroughly inspected. To
the amazement of those who observ-
ed the demonstration, there was no
evidence of wear, or lack OF lubri-
cation on either the piston, rings.
cylinder walls or bearings. a mo-
tormeter used on the car during the
run showed the motor TO be opcrat-
| ing at a normal temperature.
"Oildag' was discovered by sd
ward c.. Acheson. the inventor Of
carborundum. This oil is composed
OF a pure paraffin base and deflacu-
lated graphite. That is. a chemical
graphite pulverized into infnitesimal
particles This composition forms a
graphite film on all wearing sur
faces, reducing friction TO a positive
minimum. 1t should not be con-
fused with ordinary mined graphite,
for It Is an entirely different pro-
duct.
Considering the heat of the day.
/ local motorists were convinced with
out a doubt that car could actually
run from % to so miles without oil
after using Oildag for a few hun
dred miles.
Mr.. Gerber was well pleased with
1.-THE test. IN fact, he was so well
! pleased with It that he decided to
make another test run In a few days
to give those who did not observe the
test, and might be skeptical, an OPP
portunity TO see the demonstration
tried out on another make of car.
| The distance the next time probably
| will be heightened.

South Bend and Mishawaks
Plants Again Employing
Thousands of People.

With the resumption OF activity
by South Bend and Mishawata in
dustriai plants. some plants continu-
ing operations after a temporary
shutdown and others increasing their
output although continuing TO oper-
ate throughout the period OF so
called depression that appears &c
have swept the entire country, there
IS indicated an upward trend in in
dustrial activities.
During the past few weeks several
South Bend Industrial plants com
pleted their annual inventories
shutting down for short period
while the inventories were being
taken, and then resuming operations.

ity. a large number OF men are en-
ployed there.
