Car WITHOUT OIL
GOES II MILES
Chevrolet Makes Trip With
out Lubricant and Motor
Not Damaged
HAD USED OILDAG
PREVIOUS TO TEST

Aubrey vandever. Jr.. formerly o.
Z this city, now distributing agent foi
the Acheson ondag Company. In
+. Delaware and the Eastern shore
gave demonstration of "Ondag," a
lubricant manufactured and patent
ed by the company IN this city yes
terday. The test was satisfactory
and. was surprise to many motor
lists who witnessed it. The test was
done in a thorough manner from
start TO finish.
The test was made with Mr.. Van
dever's Chevrolet car purchased
about month and a half ago. The
motor of this machine was drained
and then filled with "Oildag" when
it was first purchased. 1t had run
42s9 miles since then without a
change of "Oildag." For the test
yesterday however. the oil plug was
taken out OF the crank case, It was
drained OF the lubricant. and no oil
of any kind was put in. With just
the coating left by the "Oildag" on
the cylinder walls, crank shaft, and
pistons. the machine was run a dis
tance of eleven and a half miles.
The motor was running continuously
for 81 minutes and the machine
was run at about 25 miles an hour
The route was from the Wilmington
Automobile Company at Tenth and
Tatpall streets, on a tour around
the city and out as far as Prices
Corner and return.
When the party returned to the
Wilmington Automobile Company's
establishment the hood of the dem
onstrating car was raised and mem-
bers of the party examined the en-
gine and found it operating per-
fectiy. 1t was even possible TO hold
the hand against the motor with
out discomfort. The water in the
radiator was at a normal tempera-
ture.
This condition proved to the wit
nesses that the previous use OF Oil
dag had formed frictionless metal
surfaces all over the operating parts
OF the motor as no lubricant of any
kind was used during the test, but it |
further proved that the engine was
perfectly fabricated as It generated |
no heat during the test beyond that |
OF a normal running engine.
In the car operated by Mr.. Van
dever were II. s. Williams, James II. |
Kane, p. p. Mcguire and Jay Taylor.

|M'NABB BALKS
ON music MONEY
Objects to City Giving $500
to Insure Weekly Band
Concerts
WOULD GIVE COAL
TO POOR INSTEAD

Music hath charms to soothe the
savage beast. 'tis said" declared
! Councilman J. Edward McNabb, in
City Council last night, But l do
not think IL can compare with the
music made by coal running down a
coal chute in the poor mans cellar
this coming winter. With all the
people now out OF work, and the
present unsettled condition OF busi-
ness in this country, l think City
Council should go slow on voting
out money for anything other than
actual necessities"
Mr.. McNabb's remarks were oc-
casioned by the motion of Coun-
Gilman McManus that the city con-
tribute the sum of S2,500 toward
the support of the Wilmington Music
Commission. which is conducting
public concerts four times week
in the city.
Councilman Johnson said he did
not always agree with Council
man McNabb but that in this matter
he stood with him and that he was
opposed TO voting money out OF the
city treasury for the purpose indi-
Gated He said he would vote against
it.
When the vote was taken only
two members opposed it-Council-
men McNabb and johnson.
In presenting the matter to City
Council Mr.. McManus said that ths
Mayor and his friends on the music
commission had agreed to raise the
sum of $500 by private subscrip-
tions from music lovers in the city.
and il was thought that Council
should contribute an equal amount.
Mr. McNabb promptly opposed
such an expenditure, declaring that
in view of the city's Strengthened
circumstances, requiring the pairing |
down of expenses by all departments |
he did not think it proper to donate |
such a sum from the city treasury |
to satisfy a few music lovers. THE /
city had better set aside $4,000 to
put coal in peoples cellars" he de-
clared.
Councilman Abrahams defended
the motion, claiming that MIR. Nc
Nabbs views were contrary to the
prevailing sentiment in other cities
where concerts were conducted
especially for the benefit OF the
poorer classes who were thus en-
lbled to enjoy music which they
would not otherwise be able to hear
lie called attention to the large
crowds that attended the concert
saturday night at the Public Build
ing plaza, and on three other nights
In the week at other points in the
city. The large attendance at these
concerts, he said. shows that the
people do appreciate the concerts.
Councilman Arthur johnson op-
posed the motion, stating that he felt |
the money could be used to better |
advantage for other purposes.
Mr.. McNabb said there is an old |
saying that music hath charms
which soothe the savage breast" !
but he did not think this could com
pare with the music OF coal going 1
down the chute into peoples cellars
this coming winter.
He added that he had been in a
city recently where the tax rate was
S6.40 on the 500. IF we got S6.4O
on the Si00," he said. I'VE could do
these things too. But it Is a bad
precedent. Thousands Of men are
