You have been told to, and perhaps have,
drained your crank case every five hundred

using a blended or compound Oil composed
of a light oil and a heavy stock. After an
average of five hundred miles, the light oil
used in making up the original blended or
compounded motor oil, has been burned or
destroyed, which leaves only a heavy,
gummy residue remaining in your crank
case, and does not give the original lubri-
eating qualities obtained when the COM

consequently, it is absolutely necessary to
drain this oil and wash your crank case

Earth To Pass Comets Path
About June ~.

English astronomers and astronomers
all over the world are arranging to study
the Pons Winnecke comets from which
meteoric showers soon will be visible in
the heavens. This is the season of its
return near to earth, which occurs every
five and half years, and it soon will APP
proach closely. Many amusing specua-
tons have been printed in London re-
garding what would happen if the earth
and the comet should collide, but scient-
lists say that this is unlikely.
The comet was first seen as faint tel
escopic object by Pons, French astron-
omer. at Marseilles in 1919. 1t was lost
until 1858, when it was again discovered
by German observer, Winnecke, at
Bonn. Since then it has appeared regu-
Iarly at its perihelion every five and
half years.
w. f. Denning, the greatest living OBJ
server of meteors, announces that the
earth will cross the path of the comet
about June q, and predicts. brilliant show

Recommends That Citizens Vote
For Bond Issue.
EDITOR OF CAToCTIN CLARION:

EDITOR OF CATOCTIN CLARION:
AS member of the Board of Commits
siouers of Thurmont and one who has Ia
ken an active interest especially in the
operation of the Electric Light Plant, l
desire to use the columns of THE CLAIR
ION in making, as we'll as can, an ex-
PLANTATION concerning voting for an issue
of SIS, 900 of bonds at our next election.
Voting for this issue does not necessa-
rily mean that the money will all be used
or even any part of it. To my knowl-
edge no Board of Commissioners has ever
undertaken anything where there was
large expenditure at stake without hav-
ing first the majority of the taxpayers in
favor of such movement, and am sure
would not be member of any Board
that would. Voting for this bond issue
means that it places the town in posi-
ton to meet certain conditions should the
same arise and then only with the consent
of the taxpayers. Conditions could arise
whereby not one penny Of the So. 600
would be used. stand for the better
ment of our town. | would not say at
this time that additional equipment should
not be installed, nor will | say that our
plant will not be closed and the town
buy it's current. That absolutely is
question flor the taxpayers to decide.
But do say that the town should be in
position to meet conditions as they face
us, and any one who is familiar with con.
ditions will admit that before long some
change along some certain lines must be
made. Not only does this apply for the
dry weather load which is costing this
town on an average of $500 annually, hat
for more power to drive the generators
now installed. At times we use full head
of water on the wheels and then do not
properly take care of tins load and we
are from time to time increasing the de-
mand for current and power. Now d.
we intend purchasing current in dry
Weather and also for seve'al hours daily
in other seasons when the load Is the
greatest which would soon double our
present cost for current purchased or
will we install more power winch WIN
take care of the dry Gather load and
give US additional power by bei"g shle to
operate both generators at the same time
which cannot be done now, without any
extra cost of labor or wiring, the only
additional cost being for fuel. thus max
ing it possible for this town to take care
of the demand for currant and power for
years to come on profitable basis and
not be dependent on ontside sources for
assistance which will indeed prove very
costly for the town.
Think it over, voters. This IS your
question to decide and ! unhesitatingly
recommend to every voter to east his
ballot FOR the bond issue and be ready
at future time to meet any emergency.
Any additional information that | may
be able to give will gladly impart

Out Of Love Club.

More than 10000 young girls and
women comprise this membership.
They all have one strong tic in COM
mon. They have all been, at one
time, inmates of Salvation Army
Rescue Home for unfortunate women
and when their little nameless babies
first saw light of day it was in Sal
walton Army Hospital.
They meet once a month in each
of the twenty-six cities in the country
in which there is located a Salvation
Army Home of this kind.
They discuss their problems, their
work, plans for the future, and their
appreciation of the organization that
cared for them when friendless.
These girls are all filling positions
secured for them by the Salvation
Army and making good.
For three years they are expected
to report regularly, either in person
or by letter. At the end Ct that pro-
stationary period they are strong
enough to be permanently respectable.
They come back from time to time
to these club meetings to help the
girls, still inmates of the Institution,
by cheering and encouraging them
for the future,
Their attendance, and the little
donation they bring, is made out of
love for what has been done for them.
This is the system by which the
Salvation Army keeps in touch with
the girls who have passed out of its
Rescue Homes and it is the reason
why more than IS per cent of all the
women who have passed through the
same Rescue Homes are now support
ing themselves and their children and
leading respectable lives.
Last year in the twelve Rescue
Homes and maternity hospitals con-
Quoted by the Salvation Army in the
eastern section of the United States
725 nameless babies were born.
Their future and that of their moth
ers is the program upon which the
Salvation Army is working. Most of
these Rescue Homes are modern,
firc-proof, efficiently equipped struc-
lures, constructed with view to Civ
ing the most comprehensive service
to suffering womanhood. They are
intended primarily for the treatment
of unmarried mothers. In them, her
story is confidential and every effort
is put forth to draw her to the faith
of her Father and to implant in her
a permanent love for her child and
for life of responsibility.
The girls are all required to remain
in the home for three months after
the baby is born, thus giving the
mother the opportunity to learn to
properly take care of her child and
also to learn to love it.
The ages of the girls range from
thirteen to twenty-three years and
the majority of them come from small
towns and the country districts.
A notable fact presented by various
Salvation Army officers is a contra
diction Of the popular theory that
most of these girls are incorrigible.
This is very far from true as that
type is very much in the minority.
Many of these girls go back to their
families and, quite often, find happi-
ness in marriage.
